So then,
Arsenal sign Welbeck.
Liverpool sign Balotelli & Lambert.
Manchester United sign Radamel Falcao on loan.
Everton sign Lukaku.
The combined footballing brains of Daniel 'Darth' Levy & Franco Baldini sign.....no-one at all, again.
We did though strengthen in the one area we are desperately short of cover...defensive/holding midfielders .
Spurs have needed a new striker since the departure of Berbatov in 2008.
In the six or so years since then, Daniel Levy has:
- Brought back Keane and Defoe after expecting Darren Bent to deliver upfront.
- Consolidated our position in third place by signing Luis Saha on a free transfer from Everton. I suspected he had one eye on maintaining our position at the top of the net spend table.
- Signed Soldado
So, this season we will once again be entirely reliant on the whims and effort of Emmanuel Adebayor...
You really couldn't make it up, "Darth" Levy knows
Tottenham's new striker?

What sort of info do people want...
details of who we are/were after?
info on who we tried to sell?
What positions we are trying to fill?
What deals failed and why?
IMO all of this is sensitive information and should be kept confidential, otherwise it undermines ones position in the market.
With regards to other areas, we are updated on the Stadium at strategic times, but there will also be some sensitive matters involved there which cannot be released and so we can expect to be drip fed. You can see how the OS, the Riots and other things have helped us to reduce our contributions and build a viability case with money now coming form the GLA and Local Council. But thats part of a strategy that need to be kept inhouse.
We will be told of the stadium timescales at the appropriate time and the securing of sponsorship will be key to that and that is of course sensitive as we already have major sponsors who may not necessarily be the new ones.
I agree on other PR things like Stubhub, ticket prices in general and a few other fringe matters the fans are kept in the dark, treated poorly BUT this is not the key issue that seems to upset most of the internet based, information hungry arm chair fans who want something solid to click on to when trawling newsnow.

I think your main problem are your scouts/scouting network. You have made a lot of money on players and Levy is the best at that but he's not in charge of signings - is it Baldini? he's the man to blame

as i said earlier, their is a transfer committee at spurs, so no one person is responsible for signings.
this committee includes chairman, director of football, directors, manager etc

3 games into the season and people are spitting their dummies out already FFs !!
Give poch time to implement his system with the players he has got and let's see how that pans out.
Keep the faith

Spurs losing to Liverpool was always going to give RC a meltdown like we're seeing
he can't stop thinking about Liverpool, just look at his article history
