Well Levy wouldn’t have access to the finances and deal sheets to do this research. He was hiring a person, not buying a company.
Ha Ha, it's taken the Italian authorities over a year to get to that point.

Utter shit show.
All the good work we did in raising our profile with 2017 CL run all undone by the fucking circus that has ensued since that day.
Utter shit show
The whole club is a shambles ever since Poch went. It may be decades again, if ever, we get back to the top table.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse it can!

Tottenham Hotspur a perfect template for mis-management.

Surely if Levy goes it gets better! Any billionnaires interested or are they all in the queue for Utd!?!

Incompetence at the top is reaching new levels, I don’t think Levy is focused on football anymore, he seemingly has more interest in maximising the stadiums revenue potential.
And yet he still can’t manage to get a naming rights deal over the line ffs!

Surely Enic would have put in his contract a get out disclosure if you turn out to be a crook, every major company would do this, if your not as squeaky clean as your CV suggests and back ground checks, your down the road.

I wonder if ENIC put such clauses in contracts for employees in its non-football businesses. I assume Lewis and Levy run their other businesses a lot more professionally than they run Spurs. After all, you don't fluke your way to the level of wealth those two have reached.

I had to laugh the other day when I heard on the radio that some law has changed so football clubs wont have to pay their players anything other than statutory sick pay when they are out injured for long periods lol.
I thought yeah, and which footballer is gonna sign that one? Its not like employing a plumber ffs!

By contrast, that lot down the road sold the stadium naming rights to Emirates Airlines in October 2004, nearly 2 years before it opened. Long before they even broke ground on our stadium construction, it was well known that the new stadium was going to be built. Did Levy use that time to try finding a buyer for the rights? I know that such deals don't just fall out of the sky, but he's had well over 4 years (probably closer to 7 or 8) to get some deal done.

Lets be honest here Nuno was only FP's choice in as much as we'd exhausted every opportunity and were getting dogs abuse(rightly so) from all quarters. He was a panic appointment dropped in our lap by Mendes because of the situation we'd left ourselves in, with Half the managers we looked at turning us down and Levy or the fans having issues with the other half.

Does the fan’s opinion really carry any weight when it comes to making decisions about appointments?

True but it was also his decision to turn down Fonseca and try for Gattuso when Fonseca would’ve likely been a much better fit for us than Nuno.

And that if a player is out for more than three months, their contract can be terminated?!
I think that was only for the lower leagues and pretty much every club is against it. Robbie Savage Savage was saying on the Radio that there's no chance this his club, Macclesfield, would ever treat a player in that way.

I doubt that (ridiculous) plan will go ahead.

How could Levy be aware of an investigation into Juve when they hired him in 2021?

How can that be showing any incompetence by the club?

The club statement said that they we not aware of the latest ban until after the video was released?

I don't think you are focused on the facts.
