Was it widely reported that Levy was leading on this due to his good relationship with Gibson? Maybe leave these things to Fab..?

I read that Gibson had backed out of negotiations to let them get on with it. With Levy presumably in Korea and the immediate deadline passed it may help create the space needed and take some of the heat out of it. The Chairmen still have phones but it may be enough.

As per today morning news reports, his replacement (Triaist named Tommy Smith) is on the preseason trip to Portugal. It looks like he is staying behind as per some Boro fans but officially they havent made it clear.
Yes I read that Smith is on the trip, but as you say not official yet AFAIK about Spence being missing.
Will check their main forum again, see if any updates
My guess is that he's not on the trip.

3 off topic ratings for sharing a thought about a player in the player's thread.

It's been one of the best Spurs summers in living memory yet half the community are fucking miserable :rolleyes:
Scroll thumb is a thing…. and thank you for reminding me to clean up my ratings.

A lot of real big wet blankets in this thread. I’ve implemented a tried and tested method where I just scan through pages as fast as I can and only stop if a post has a shit ton of ratings or some informative ones. Helps cut through the riff-raff and takes like no time. Also, let’s not pretend like your time is so important you can’t spend 30 seconds per page to scan through. Buncha Karens.

Sounds like we keep telling Boro we will walk away as we have other options, but, since Spence is HG and cheap(ish), we don't actually want to look elsewhere at all and Gibson is calling our bluff.

Anyone have any links or sources about Levy being directly involved in negotiations due to relationship with Gibson and/or Spence's agent? Haven't seen any of that myself (apart from the Eriksen discussions), so would like to read up if possible. Thank you.

A quick Google brings up a fair few places saying the same

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.hitc.com/en-gb/2022/06/21/tottenham-daniel-levy-djed-spence/?amp

Tottenham are chasing Djed Spence and Daniel Levy is now taking over negotiations for the Middlesbrough wing back as Fabio Paratici focuses elsewhere.

Tottenham have added three signings in key areas this summer; goalkeeper Fraser Forster, left wing back Ivan Perisic and midfielder Yves Bissouma

I think it was an ITK who said that Levy is family friend's with Spence's agent via the Redknapp family. Don't quote me. That's just my memory. Tried to find an article saying that and couldn't hence my conclusion it was an ITK.
