Take with a pinch of salt. Dragon has a huge chip on his shoulder over Levy and that "ITK" is all clearly coloured by that bias.
I'd say so. Some of that stuff would be totally bizarre to allow to get out

Holy shit, one of those ITK's that you wish you could unread so you can enjoy reading it again.
Sounds like a lot of opinion in there though.
- For me, its not at all that he's useless. Its how short he comes when the playing side needs him to step up.
- You don't think the extra 13 mil for the image rights on Dybala might have been a worthwhile investment?
- Grealish? I'm sure the list goes on and on. Our lack of investment is going to cost us millions now.
- Jose, to no one's surprise, is surely asking for massive investment and I don't see any way this ends well.
2. Is that all it was? We know this as fact?
1. Consistent build was fine until it was time to strike and make the moves necessary to boost the squad to the next level. Will Spurs ever have a better back 5 than Rose, Vert, Toby, Walker & Lloris? I doubt it. A better front four than DESK? We'll see. They just needed that extra 2-3 players to help them compete across 4 competitions.
- Agreed in the context of the past three years. Before that? Nah, playing side consistently improved from roughly Arnesen’s appointment up until mid Poch tenure, which I’m sure not too coincidentally is the first time we abandoned the DOF approach without having an experienced manager in place (there was no DOF when Redknapp was here but it wasn’t necessary as ‘Aitch was better connected than my bank details to pornhub).
- Is that all it was? We know this as fact?
- Hard to disagree here but the speed with which Grealish renewed his deal once the new owners arrived suggests that the this wasn’t totally our fault. More frustrated by the lack of an alternative that summer to Grealish.
- This is probably true but you don’t have anyway of knowing this, you’re spouting you fears as fact.
I quite like that Dragon fella. Or woman.
The important thing is that now, in 2020, neither confirming gender nor signing a striker are important anymore.the mystery of Dragon’s gender has been running longer than the rumours about us signing Damiao.
That's the whole point of a director of football, otherwise he's just a chief scout.

4. Of course, I can't read the future but if we're all being honest thats way more likely than this appointment working out.

A few points
1- We are no longer for sale and have not been since the palace home game last March so that is not a current option
2- Joe controls what happens with the club not DL , DL loves running the club he would never sell but its not his call
3- Levy is now under intense pressure from all quarters, Even before the Norwich game Joe thought both the results and performances Jose was delivering in relation to the obscene contract he was given were hugely disapointing, levy defense that Jose is a winner do not look to clever now after the last week , I do not know to many directors who would survive the debacle of having to pay 60 million managerial compensation to two high profile managers whilst overseeing a playing squad with little balance or quality , levy is far from untouchable, Spurs are big business now a 2 billion asset with 500 million turnover, levy future very much rest in the hands of Jose being able to turn around
4- Levy not for the first time was badly hoodwinked by Jose with what a wonderful squad you have etc , Jose predictably now changed his tune, pre Norwich Jose wanted 8 new players in the summer and the guy from Lyon as new DOF , I presume after Norwich and last night Jose will want even more player
and
if I gave you a list of players that wanted to join and levy messed up the deals you would sob, he did amazing with the stadium to get the nfl , banks and authorities on board but one swallow does not make a summer he has been a dreadful chairman, Poch the messiah covered his shortcomings for 5 years but that ship has sailed.
and
Lewis now watches every games and finds Jose's tactics and football eye bleeding
and (looks more opinion but still interesting.

I never wanted him but after poch threw in the towel after yet another summer of levy shambles ( this years deal f55k ups were coutino and Dybala ) and with scum closing in on Jose levy felt they had to act and Jose duly pulled levy pants down
They need to decide whether to stick or twist after the wham game , unless they are going too back him and bring the Lyon guy in there is no point , Jose did not want a striker in jan as he had a player in mind for the summer , Jose did this at united where they got him everything he wanted and he was still useless
There is no point crying over spilt milk we need to boot Jose and pay him off , we are miles from a cl team right now, we need to bring sess, parrot, cirkin and tanganga through and try and attract some bright talent in the summer and rebuild with a modern young coach, Jose is way way past it

I've no idea how much stock to put into that ITK but I agree there will be a shake up one way or another purely because of the stadium. If we were still at whl, 36k seater, then it would be business as usual but we're sitting on a cash cow with giant bills to pay. Letting it slide into mid table mediocrity is not an option.That was post was good news?
Joe has awoken at last from his tomb and is holding people accountable and if that information is true then we as fans will win either way. Either Jose is going to end up being backed and he and Levy together have to turn it around and we win or Jose and therefore Levy fail and we are in for a gigantic shake up. Either way sooner rather than later if this information is true then we win.
