Does Levy have any self awareness??

It's funny, I remember an old interview with Levy conducted by Garth Crooks. It must have been in the early part of Redknapp's tenure and Levy said that he had a good relationship with all his managers. If you were to ask him now I wonder what he'd say, because I don't think Jose, Conte, and AVB would look at him too favourably.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think when Levy says he is in a good relationship with anyone it's what Levy thinks, not what the other person thinks.

It's a sort of narcissism fantasy that he sees himself as this mercurial chairman, who saves so much money to the club and that's his job. Footballing side should yield to the business side because in his bubble, business comes first. Sod Trophies, just as long as we qualify for CL and get well paid for it, that's all there is to it.
Well, this time he is not getting the CL bonus!

If we end up the season 9th/10th then I am sure we must very close to doing a 360 under him. Started around 8/9/10 and back to there

Some call it progress

The irony is if we hadn't made certain cost cutting decisions such as not spend a penny on players over an 18 month period, and actually went out and spent at times we should have and paid top dollar for certain players, the club would probably have benefitted a lot more in a lucrative sense for Levy right now, as well as in a footballing success sense.

100% correct
If we had invested in the squad around 2016/17 when we were on the cusp, who knows where we would be now

Sorry just seen your article.

Too many sources basically blaming Levy. Read between the lines.

Too many top, top people saying this.

I think Levy has screwed Spurs image globally.

Everyone now sees us as a joke or calamity club.

Q: Daniel levy Tottenham chairman being a burden on the club in Shakespeare style.

A: Of Tottenham's club, the tale is told Of one who's seen as burdensome old Daniel Levy, the chairman's name Whose actions bring the club to shame

With deals that failed to bear sweet fruit And players gone, left with no repute The fans, with heavy hearts, do cry For Levy's decisions leave them dry

Yet still he reigns, with stubborn pride And presides over Tottenham's side His legacy marred, his image stained By the burden he's become, in truth explained.

basically Levy is shiiiiiiiiiiiite? we knew that already!

Picked up my lad from school yesterday and ran into a mate of mine who I hadn't seen for a while who's also a Spurs fan.

At that point Slot was expected to join and we both agreed that this season had been a disgrace but at least his style of football and achievements at Feyenoord were grounds for a bit of optimism. We also agreed that we wanted a youngish manager with his best days very much infront of him rather than some bloke in his 50's with a decent cv (we've played that game and it doesn't end well).

As we parted I jokingly said to him Slot will probably fall through and we'll end up with Rodgers. Many a true word spoken in jest!!?

To answer your question, no, he clearly does not & Spurs as a result are suffering because of it
