The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

[Azza1985]

Having #LevyOut trending on Twitter is good. But I feel something like this would would need real communication between all the spurs forums on this matter, I only use this one so idea where to start on that front.

Maybe burn an effigy of levy outside the stadium, he might get the message then.
Worked for the last bloke.

Great point, if anybody frequents the other Spurs forums, could you let them know what we are trying to do here?

We need all fans to unite and get voices heard via all avenues, whether that be on every social media platform, radio phone ins, on TV via reports of protests, newspapers, not buying merchandise…whatever it takes to be noticed.
I personally do not think think Levy will care but if it’s big enough and loud enough he might have to take notice.

A start would be to keep tagging the big Journalists, into all the negative stuff doing the rounds on the net all the memes regarding time in charge v trophies, season ticket prices v success if they think there is enough momentum to generate views/clicks they'll go in two footed on Levy. And by the big journalists, I don't mean the Spurs branded Sausage roll munchers reporting for Football London or the Evening Standard. I hate Matt law but he'd be happy to stick it to Levy also the likes of Henry Winter and Martin Samuel for example.

Also need some ex-pros to start to become vocal.

The problem is a lot of them enjoy their privileges too much

 

[spurs mental]

Yeah but Levy hates the negative press and this will get plenty of airtime. We have to unite and make it hell for him against with constant chants of “we want Levy out”

And that's fine, but it's not enough. It won't rattle him to the point he'll cry in his padded chair or his lovely box and decide to sell up.

There HAS to be more than a few chants. If we're shouting We Want Levy Out for 90 minutes it's also counterproductive to what happens on the pitch. The players feed off negative energy.

A sit in protest at the end of a game would be a good start. Regardless of result. 30 or 40k people sitting in their seats and not budging, although not ideal for the stewards who are only doing their jobs, with a solid chant, Levy out flags, he'll hate that and it gets coverage especially if the game has been on Sky as the stadium is in the background and there's nothing to distract on the pitch.

That for me would get more attention than during a game because the result is really all that matters and if we're winning people will be less reluctant to sing at him anyway.

Next bald person you see in the street, slap him on his bonce..

Every little helps.

It would be hard - but the easiest way to force change at the club is through an organized "strike" by supporters.

Pick one home game, and get as many supporters/Ticket holders as possible to "picket" outside of the stadium - instead of going in to the game. The sight of even a half-empty stadium on TV followed by coverage of the protests going on outside of the stadium would create the kind of viral moment that would require even Joe Lewis to act - to protect his interest in the club, lest the unrest continue to drive down the value of the club.

The other idea would be a massive walk-out in the middle of the game - say at the 30' mark. Fans streaming out of the stadium, again on TV, would be a massive talking point for weeks for football pundits around the world.

This is what I was thinking too. I think a huge walk-out in the middle of a game, or multiple games, is the single most effective thing that we as fans can do. Protests are ok but I don't think they would effect much change unless there were, say, 20k plus. But if, especially in a televised match where all the sponsors are especially interested as well as pundits etc., a huge (and I do mean huge) number of people left the stadium mid match and didn't come back, I think a few of those would very quickly bring about change.

Vega is our best avenue at the minute. And probably O'Hara too.

But like you say some of them enjoy their privileges and are there every match. They're probably getting paid to be there too.

What's Vega saying?

Issue there is he isn't big enough a name or attached enough to the club.

I feel like this is [email protected]'s chance to shine.

 

[floydiohead]

It would require a financial hit on our parts (ST holders), but if we could coordinate a stay away for a big televised match I think that would send a strong message. I’ll gladly stay away at the moment anyway but it would mean not listing any tickets on the exchange and just writing that game off. Not sure how much of the ground is ST seats but it must be a large number of people. I’m really not sure what other power we have - they know we’ll be back.

think it's about 46k.

Yeah! Lets all take a leap into the unknown! There's no prospective buyer yet, so no clues to how green the grass will be on that front. And if there was, they'll almost certainly be looking to make money from the club, not just plough millions upon millions into it with no clear plan, which is what a lot of you seem to be expecting.

Just so I can get my head around it - we all want Levy out, so that we can have <insert unidentified new owner here> to throw way too much money at players and managers who might flop, and to just swallow the losses until we luck upon a selection of players and staff who happen to win the league? Is that it? Got to say, it's not much of a plan.

There is no point in smashing your faces against brick walls. Make your voice heard, yes, but don't expect your opinion or effort to definitely achieve anything. It might, it might not, but I'm getting really bored of the fans who think that, while we watch players come and go on huge wages not putting in the effort, Levy is the single problem in our club, rather than a tremendously astute businessman who has kept our club solvent, competitive near the top table, given us a new training ground and stadium, all without tanking the club's finances.

Two of the most attractive things we have to a new investor or owner are the Stadium and Training Ground and it's just as likely that any new owner will sell them for that sweet cash injection and rent back, strip the club of assets like the Dildo brothers did, or that fat twat Mike Ashley buys us, under invests in the club and we end up in a worse place than before... And I imagine that will also be Levy's fault.

Not worth the stress - you feel free, I'm going to accept the reality and just hope whatever happens leads to our results improving.

I'm fascinated you are more worried about hypotheticals of a future owner's performance than the current chairman's performance. He wants us to be among the Big 6 but he sure does not act it when push comes shove. Maybe worry about these hypotheticals when Levy finally leaves his position.

 

[TOLBINY]

1. Write to Daniel Levy, thank him for the stadium, the training ground and for making us a consistently top 6'ish team and politely suggest that you believe it is time for him to move on and find a Chairman who will take the club to the next level of winning trophies.

2. Email all our sponsors and advise them that while Daniel Levy has a major say in the running of our club we will do all we can personally to avoid using / buying their product or service (needs LOT of us to cause some concern)

3. As has been suggested, a major protest at a televised game (walk out on 15 minutes for 15 minutes) come back and chant Daniel Levy get out of our club for 15 minutes (til half time) - to include not purchasing merchandise, food and beverages inside the stadium. This needs a large group of people at every entry point advising those attending what is happening and why.

And I'm fascinated that so many mystic megs seem to be desperate for the unknown. What does he need to do? All I ever see is fans going "MORE MONEY! MOOOOOOOOOOOAAR MONEEEEEYYYY!!!" when that is NOT the solution! The money has been available for transfers but those transfers haven't come off for dozens of reasons, yet because we have our witch in Levy, we just blame him and move on.

As I say, it's as likely a new owner will ruin us as make us a success - I'd be instantly wary of anyone willing to plough millions into transfers and wages, with no apparent intention to get anything back from it - that's money-laundering russian style club ownership.

No. No-one is saying that at all. Just you in fact. What's desired is some semblance of competence and continuity, allied to a commitment to supporting a manager and seeing things through, on the pitch. You know. The football bit of the business. Has FA to do with splurging dumb sums of money.

 

[UbeAstard]

There's loads of sensible fans who don't/wont support this......

Newcastle fans got Ashley out eventually

This is good, this is something other than money - how can Levy support the manager then?

We often assume players who don't sign were put off by the money, when we never really know the truth, it just suits the narrative we like so we go with it, so if it "has FA to do with splurging dumb sums of money", then what is it that's expected of this mystery, super-rich, super-owner individual that hasn't identified themselves yet? What shows competence more than keeping a club financially stable, a new stadium and all that, without plunging us into huge debt? What shows continuity more than getting us into the European places and regularly competing there?

I can't understand the angle and while I appreciate success would be nice, I don't get how removing Levy will magically fix the problems highlighted.
