Would love it if Levy countered with an offer of free admission for the second half based on availability.

Would look a bit desperate.
He’ll probably just be glad that there’ll be a distinct lack of Levy Out chants in the second half (to the extent he cares at all). The rest of us can just get on with supporting the team.

They are literally playing up to him and he wins.
If anything, depending how serious you think you are, just arrange for 3/4k not to attend for 2/3 games........full stop, yes pay your ST but don't sell it, don't do in, don't fill one pocket.
But I doubt they are really that serious
Another conversation that's been done to death but it's really a lack of understanding of how you negotiate at this level
- Even the opening statement is not well thought out, it reads more like a tantrum "enough is enough", stuck through thick and thin? really?
- As with all these groups, there is not even a hint of anything positive they would bring to the table
- There is no ask, so it's a protest for protest sake?
That could literally be 100% better

I honestly think a protest for protest sake is better than this though. Currently its protesting whilst wanting their cake and eating it.
Its hardly rogue

It's interesting reading this conversation and not even talking about PSG and the Qatari government. It was their insistence on paying the 222m euros for Neymar that even made this whole domino effect happen. Coutinho to Barca, Allison/VVD to Pool etc was all in this very strange set of transactions around 2017 and 2018. Barca wanted to appease the fans after losing Neymar and their number 1 target was Coutinho. So Liverpool basically named their price. So did Saints when Pool came knowing for VVD.
A very strange transfer market during that 2 year period. The better conversation is why we didn't get massive money for one of ours. They weren't signing new contracts (e.g. Toby, Eriksen etc) and we didn't catalyse our future by doing the same.
And that's the nuance most conversations miss

I think the point is that his stats dont correspond to the media label. He played an impressive 360 games for us. Only 3 seasons out of 11 were injury effected. The tag came mainly as his worse two seasons were 1996 and 1998, but in both he recovered just in time to star for England.
His stats are actually very comparable to Son's. The only difference is that Son's has been boosted by european appearances, whereas Anderton could only play domestic competitions. Basically he was one of our most consistent performers of the EPL era

There's definitely nuance to it and I'm not claiming Liverpool sold for xyz amount so therefore we must have been able to seel for the same amount but I do think we could have intelligently used the market and I say that because I've seen many clubs do it over the decades of watching European football. Sitting on your squad and letting it stagnate is guaranteed not to work and that's where we went wrong and where I'll never just accept that it had to be that way because it didn't.

Looks like they've backtracked to the original plan of a 10-minute delayed return after the start of the second half (or go to the pub if you want).

I agree. We had the half a billion team in those crazy times.
Eriksen left with 6 months on his contract for £20m. Toby left for free after a really poor last couple of years at the PL level. Dele was perhaps the harder one to pick. If we had sold him at his optimum price, he would have been the Coutinho. Perhaps Rose was a little like that as well.
We got money for Walker, and eventually Kane though.

Listen to this pod at 49 minutes https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-lab-tottenham-hotspur-podcast/id1724935038.
The chap says Levy is already delivering what the CFT lot want i.e. Levy to step back... he went with Paratici, then Munn and Lange, now Paratici coming back, now Venai taking over as CEO, so Levy is taking big steps back.
I think Levy is crazy to freeze ticket prices.
Inflation exists and thus prices should always creep upwards.
Levy should just say "Inflation is X% this year, so all season tickets are going up by the same". Very easy, no headlines.
He also makes a good point at 54 minutes, that our cheapest season ticket in 2016 at Old WHL was £765.
Now it is £860 which is 12% more, and the CFT people moan about that.
If it had gone up with inflation it would be £1,0330.
If it had gone up with Minimum Wage (for a lot of staff at the ground) that is a 60% rise, so it would cost £1,200.
Test Match Cricket has gone up 45%, beer has gone up 30%. So increasing 12% is not much at all.

The weak sort of flip flopping and lack of direction they accuse the club of…

We’re leaving money on the table.
Money the club then get lambasted for not wasting.
These whinging fudging clams want an expensive team, but don’t want to pay for it.
They are an embarrassment, to the fanbase, and their mothers, thick as brick the lot of them.

With half the stadium usually out having a tinkle or getting food and drink for the first 5-10 mins of the second half, they’re going to claim it as a huge success.
In the first ‘statement’ it sounds like they’re protesting performances results and that Ange hasn’t been sacked yet, but in the second one of the points they’re protesting is “frequent managerial changes.”
They’ve no idea what they’re doing and they should move on for the next bunch of ego-driven group to organise some gatherings, which have literally no effect other than adding more toxicity to the fanbase.
