The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Levy should be open about what has gone catastrophically wrong with the player recruitment process since Paul Mitchell left.

Also why Paul Mitchell felt he had to leave despite doing a good job.

Who did we sign when Paul Mitchell was head of recruitment?

 

[Rosco1984]

another genuinely curious question - do we have knowledge of why they were there and where they were going? Or are we speculating.

We don't but Munns job description was.... In charge of all football matters so unless Munn is moonlighting in the commercial department then Levy is involved in something to do with the football side and I don't want his O-Level trigonometry stories anywhere near it.

Technically Munn hasn't started yet so perhaps Levy needs to be there until his start date commences..?

As an aside, I saw that Paul Mitchell was touted to be brought in at Man Utd should Ratcliffe/INEOS' bid is successful per Ben Jacobs.

Only putting this here as his name often comes up for our vacant DoF role.

Toby, Dele, Son, Trippier

Can tell he's really holding his tongue as well. Pretty obvious that the recruitment staff found it frustrating at best (which we all knew already tbh)

 

[mil1lion]

Just out of interest, what is it going to take for people to acknowledge that Levy is/has stepped aside from the football decision making (if and when that should ever happen)? What would you want to see in order to be assured that this has happened?

When we sign Mbappe

Would love to know some of those players but can imagine we'll never know!

I don't think any of that was revelatory in any way. We know levy gets involved and we know he signs the cheques.

Hopefully he can hurry up and sign a manager.

Revelatory in the sense it's now been said on a bigger, public platform, and might get quoted by other media outlets.

You're trolling and I suspect for a number of posters it's getting boring now. Especially with this persistent suggestion that anything you don't like boils down to wanting dodgy oil owners or whatnot. That's almost certainly a bit of a pop to get under their skins.

Nobody has to put a name to anyone, that's just ridiculous.......i'm pretty sure nobody would have heard of half the new owners of football clubs before they dipped their toe in. It's a bullshit deflecting device and an impossible requirement to fill. IF a new owner puts his hand up, that's when people will decide what's what as to their suitability.

One of the ironies of this "Levy out" hysteria is that he has been so successful that there aren't many potential buyers out there. I think it's fair enough to ask people who want Levy out at any cost to think about the realities of a sale. With a bit of research (rather than shooting from the hip) you could probably identify a few possible buyers and as a minimum identify the types of buyers (someone with an interest in sport and able to raise £3bln+) and say what type of buyers you would find acceptable.

It's all a bit of an academic exercise as Levy is unlikely to sell in the near future and when he does he won't care about our views. He will go for the one with the highest bid who is deemed "fit and proper" (basically anyone except for Putin if Newcastle is anything to go by).

 

[Metalhead]

Just listened to Talksport, they interviewed a bloke called David (WFH so did not note full name ) that worked with Poch when he was at Spurs and confirmed Levy liked and did have a say on player recruitment which was a frustration.

He also confirmed that Spurs had players on the verge of signing but levy pulled the plug and he believes if Levy didnt pull the plug, this player could have taken Spurs in a different direction. It was interesting to listen to someone confirm all the things levy has been accused off here. It shut Simon Jordan up which doesnt happen often.

Again, nobody knows who might be interested, this insisting on finding names (or plucking them out of thin air would be more accurate) to take over is pointless, unrealistic and ridiculous.

It's is a conversation for as and when the identity of any prospective buyer is revealed. That is when you make a choice.

 

[bubble07]

David Webb is probably one of the very few that can give us a direct insight on how Levy works. He was definitely holding back but still said enough much to the annoyance of Jordan

 

[g_harry]

Here's the clip

Unreal, what he really wants to say is if Daniel had agreed to spend that little extra and completed on Mane & Wijnaldum we might been champions league winners.

At least we won't do a Leeds, carry on Daniel. To Dare is to Dear.

Will Enic give us a "choice" of who they sell to in the event Spurs fans band together in direct action to force a sale?

No. We'll be sold to the highest bidder that passes a fit and proper test. And there's very few candidates with both the cash AND the political clout to pull that off.

Where is this choice you're talking about? I'm sorry it's total nonsense. Which explains why there is no great appetite amongst most Spurs fans for an anti-Enic revolution. Because you won't even talk about that elephant in the room. Until you're willing to we are stuck with Enic.

Daniel Levy, however, is a different kettle of fish.

Discussing football on the internet is pretty pointless honestly. But we've got a poll that asks ENIC out or in, with no prospective alternatives, and this pointless thread...

Just to help out the ENIC outers, you could start by looking at the consortia that were interested in Chelsea but didn't clinch the deal. Maybe you'd like one of those? Then its a rational conversation between options. I've seen people say they like Fenway who are trying to sell Liverpool and then the likes of Brighton and Bournemouth, which have a scaling up problem, I'd say.

I thought you were going to stop this trolling nonsense 'for the sake of peace'

Any serious response would be basically a repeat of what has already been made clear so i'll not be wasting my time responding to yet more of this myopic bollocks.

No, just this weird need to name prospective new owners, there's your 'pointless'

And i'd guess it's mainly done in an attempt to steer people toward the accusation that they don't care who owns the club, even slave/oil money

If people can't see that plucking a name out from nowhere as who you'd like to see own the club is pointless and ridiculous then I don't know what else to say

But there's a massive reason nobody has actually answered the question. Because it's a bullshit question.

Of course no-one knows exactly who would buy the club in the event of a sale. But there aren't too many potential buyers out there and I think it's reasonable to expect those advocating "Levy out at all costs" to put a little thought into this, and perhaps some research.

I would also argue that the the "Levy out at all costs" movement is "pointless, unrealistic and ridiculous". When you say "That is when you make a choice", the only one who will be making a choice as to who will be the next owner is Levy/ENIC/Lewis family. Not any of us.

I rest my case and apologise for somewhat labouring the point.
