Surprised? I think Levy's style has been to our detriment overall. He's done a sterling job of building the club up but everybody who deals with him must approach the process with trepidation, and I'm not sure that is a good thing in the long run. He may get the odd bargain deal over the line but it seems that the other parties in such deals are then committed to never dealing with him again if possible.
I'm sure Levy has hindered us in the past, trying to bring in players, and I doubt that'll change much. But I wonder whether his incredibly hard ball attitude, has also helped holding on to a player/coach or two. By simply not wanting the hassle, or having the time or cash, to deal with him.
Worked out swimmingly last summer.Levy has been friends with the good people at Stellar for a long long time. There was never going to be much of a story off the back of an interview with Josh. I wouldn't be surprised if this interview was done on behalf of the club to tell everyone it's max $$$ or nothing this summer as far as outgoings is concerned.
It’s bollocks, all this stuff about how Levy is hindering our development. People have droned on about this every year since 2004, during which time he’s turned us into a world footballing power on a budget. Money has been spent when value was available.

All good business and good footballers who became part of a team.
I'm sure he's a nightmare to deal with. I'm also sure it is been overwhelmingly to the benefit of THFC.So, you know more about dealing with Levy than Jonathan Barnett.
People who honestly say Levy has hindered us are probably the same people who think we are on the same level as clubs like Man U, City, Liverpool and sadly Chelsea. We simply aren’t there yet either financially or in stature.
