Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

I realise that. But your initial post highlighted poor officiating as a potential reason for costing us points, but every team (other than Arsenal) can point to that.

Can you blame DL and ENIC for two consecutive seasons disrupted by injuries to most of our key players?

Admittedly you could argue that our medical team and facilities are not up to the required standards, which is 100% on them, but that would mostly affect the recovery period and not the actual incidents which was unprecedented on this scale.

And re: our 17th place finish in 24/25, there are certainly mitigating factors there, including injuries.

When you read of all the lawsuits against Triller the owners of Eight Sports makes the alleged sale of his share of the club to them a little bemusing but of course £££££££ wins in the end.

The brickshow America is at the moment, maybe the Chinese company were the ones playing by the book? A lawsuit might be aggressive Trumpian foreign policy, with the Chinese being the ones obeying the rule of law?

Personally, I never felt Levy was a great negotiator at all. It was pretty much spelt out in the Modric and Lloris autobiographies that Levy wasn't looking for quid-pro-quo where both parties feel satisfied with the outcome. Levy seemed to get to that point in any negotiation and move the goal posts. My guess is that approach meant he lost way more than he ever won, not that negotiation should be about winning or losing. It should be about winning and winning. As I said, it's about the quid-pro-quo.

I reckon it was really easy to become disenfranchised working with Spurs on transfers under a Levy regime. I think this was the point @SissokoWasGood (BoL) was inferring above. I know Poch lost the plot with the constant procrastination of Levy doing deals and upseeting the start of every season. We saw with our own eyes the amount of times we had to do major culls as Levy had let the squad get so bloated. We read so many times that we had the money but couldn't make the deal happen. We saw so many times transfer windows where the big clubs were signing 2 or 3 quality additions but we were in the 6-8 range.

I'm actually more excited now about going into transfer windows now that Levy has gone.
