Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

[Legohamster]

Same, appears to have used it to raise his own personal image, strange really but each to their own

He was on LWOS a few times and he seemed to disappear up his own arse as it went on.

All for protest etc, but planning it on opening weekend is not the one, thankfully there was only about 5 of them

City and Chelsea have down years. I’m talking about Liverpool.

I honestly might be missing something obvious here and if so I apologise. But how have they cheated more than anyone? More than the oil money? More than the 115 charges?

And even if they have, I think my point is we are in a ballpark on being able to be competitive with them now.

Not even worth engaging about Liverpool, his views are divorced from reality.

They are massively important no one down plays it, again those comments are a abit of a fallacy from whats actually being said. The point as I can see that is being said is they can't be the only thing that makes supporting a club create love and affection for that club, that would defy logic of why 90% of football fans round the world love the club they do and enjoy supporting them

I get slightly sick of this heightened idea in recent years that its impossible to take any joy out the club unless we are winning things. You only have to look at the mess of the communications from the supporters groups "don't buy merchandise, don't buy food and drink" GET FCUKED who is anyone to tell anyone how and whats important to them as a club.

I would much prefer to support the club I love than spend time sticking the boot in and crowing over Chelsea and others constantly like loads do, even some on here.

People have downplayed the importance of trophies. At a time when we don’t win many of them. Not saying you can’t still enjoy football without trophies but that is ultimately why we watch, in the hope that we win things.

Not sure that's true but will take your word for it

Ultimately though and this is not downplaying their importance, but it's not the first reason that really matters to me when it comes to supporting Spurs, and that doesn't mean they are not important, but the primary one is just a huge reason

It’s the “hope” we might win things that spurs on all fans, but is certainly not the be all and end all. If spurs win nothing for the next 50 years I will still support them and still hope next season will be our season. Reminds me of a line from the film cool runnings, “A gold medal is a wonderful thing. But if you're not enough without one, you'll never be enough with one" and that’s reality.

Ultimately under Levy’s stewardship we have improved both positionally as a club and consistently on and off the pitch. He got plenty wrong but his successes far outweighed them, so he will rightfully I think go down as our best chairmen of recent times. Let’s just hope whoever the new guy or girl is in charge, they have the same impact Daniel did as if they do, it will mean at least being in the trophy discussion season after season.

I agree with a lot of that, and absolutely agree with your conclusion.

But I think he was good at the football side. If he wasn't, we would have been Leeds/Villa/Sheffield Wednesday.

He was brilliant at the business of football. Undeniable.

I wanted to leave it alone, but I just can't get over how many of the flags are being hung half way down the flag pole either.

Where is the pride and patriotism in that?

You want to fly a flag, fly it correctly.

Are they being flown at half past to symbolise the country is dead, or is it simply the height of a standard ladder?
