It would have made more sense to happen back at the start of the summer , maybe the agreement was to see what happened this summer.I think that the talk of this being the end game of what was started back when Charrington was first appointed is probably the truth of the matter - having Levy see the club through the summer transfer window before making the big move is probably the most sensible decision with that in mind and anything that did or didn't happen over the summer months wouldn't have factored in to any decision.

Seeing as Eze reportedly contacted Arteta directly I assume that would have happened regardless of how quickly we might have agreed terms.This is complete guess work
But I wonder if the Eze deal was the final straw
High profile transfer failure and it seems that Levy playing silly buggers and moving the goal post played a part of it falling through
Compare how quickly the Xavi deal went through, basically meeting what they wanted straight away , paid the player what they wanted and then done.
As i said, it has to be for a reason. No point having that great infrastructure if we are largely going to carry on as we were before
Telling people what they want to hear. Uncomplicated messaging.I'm a bit amazed by the PR/messaging coming out that the "Lewis family" was not happy with on pitch results, literally wtf? they/he was the one handicapping Levy all these years, while Levy became their fall guy.
To me, if they decided to change direction (actually invest) and felt someone else was needed, that's a decision but the messaging is way off point. I hope they understand how much flack Levy took for their failing as ownership.
It's a bit like your dad having a go at you for the brick father's day present when he only gives you 50p pocket money.Our performance (average position) is the best in the club's history, our cup runs are also right up there, and our trophy haul while admittedly short is not hugely off the club average, all done while building a structure to secure our future and competing with the Chelsea & City's (something no previous club leadership had to deal with).

Chelsea?
Three clubs I make it, 2 of which were powerhouses before the PL and won hasn't won the league since 2004.
Of course, but we would have 100% stood still where we were, at least the infrastructure keeps us in touch with those we want to be...........better to try and be better than sit still
That wasn’t the statement from the OP. He said I can’t think of another club who has been more successful in the 25 years since Levy has been in charge. All of those clubs have won the title and have won more trophies in total than us by a distance.
There’s loads of owners who have been successful without cheating

Because, statistically speaking, Levy's tenure can be described as a significant improvement over the noughties from a mean of 12th position at its beginning of the decade to 6th at its end and then a reasonably sustained plateau of 4 - 5th in the subsequent decade and a half, excluding last year's outlier.That outlier hits hard!
Why is there a green and yellow trend separately for those time periods?
Honestly it’s a job, he did it to his best. Got paid very very well and that’s it.
I’d really hope this isn’t true.
If it is then it’s a disgusting way to treat the person who has invested so much effort in getting the club to where it is now.
But it’s not just a job, he’s an owner, albeit a minority (but far from insignificant) shareholder and a friend of Lewis and family.Honestly it’s a job, he did it to his best. Got paid very very well and that’s it.
A Tottenham legend.
Thank you Levy for what you've done for our club. We wouldn't be where we are without you.
Australian...iircCompanies House now showing Levy termination but also something about a loan from MACQUARIE BANK LIMITED on 29th Aug. to THFC & Athletic co
If the transfer window tells us anything it’s not to believe the nonsense the press write.But it’s not just a job, he’s an owner, albeit a minority (but far from insignificant) shareholder and a friend of Lewis and family.
That’s why I find it hard to believe. I assume he knew the plans but maybe had the rug pulled from under him with it happening so suddenly.
Yes we are in debt to the Aussies, if we fail to pay we get transported to Oz landAustralian...iirc
