You can't even get a bite now sandy
Levy lives in his own world.
His own economics and valuations forget the rest of the world.
No wonder he thinks we have been successful in recent years.
Utter joke.
He's not planning to go anywhere anytime soon.
So the likes of Sandy will be over the moon.

Wasted my life on this team.
I'm no Levy fan Don but that "quote" is taken completely out of context. He's not saying finishing above Arsenal was a success.
To be honest, I can’t even be bothered to watch even 2 minutes of the snivelling lying bald weasel,
========================
Same here
I'll pass on that video...He is bound to have rehearsed answer full of BS, and nothing about the current situation of the club, like no managers appointed, club is performing at an acceptable levels, no direction on or off the field, a DOF who legally cannot even work with us, and ex-Manager who is sat in Italy, and some serious question marks over Kane?
What other chairman has this many issues and is just sitting counting money, nothing changed with this guy!
Get rid off him, and his symphatisers... take them all on a ship (or his yacht) and dump them in the sea!

Arsenal are on the rise mate. They back their managers and giving the league title a push coming up against arguably one of the best Prem sides ever. Levy justifying that bulls** with “well we finished above them a few times and had fun”. Losers mentality mate. He should be aching to emulate Arsenal and go challenging that league next season. He’s an utter fraud of a chairman and still you defend him.

WUMMing for ever, Sandy old boy!
Why not throw Joe Lewis in too...great owner!
The likes of Sandy are, thankfully, a diminishing breed. More and more people are starting to remember what a football club is for and, more importantly what our great club once stood for.
Keep up the protests people, Tottenham is nothing without the fans. Even if Enic won’t sell, we can force change. We can help make our club great again.

Sandy is on his own mate. Not many Spurs fans are thinking like him anymore thankfully. People have finally woken up,
I'm not on the wum like our dear friend Sandy, and as I've said on here a lot, it really isn't a black and white issue (he's done some good things, and some bad things), but... if I absolutely had to go either way, I'd say that overall he has had more positive impact on the club than negative. Having said that, I think it's getting increasingly clear that it's time for him to move on, and I hope his arrogance doesn't stop him realising that. Despite all the nonsense he has been good for us, but things change and it's time now to move on I think.

The fans are in the majority now and have had enough. I can’t even be bothered to watch Spurs again this season and this is mostly down to this guy sucking the life out of the club
“It has been an incredible journey and in the 22 years, Tottenham has progressed enormously. Not as much as a fan we would hope but hopefully the journey is not over and we are still hoping we will get that trophy that we need,” Levy said.
“When we first came in to Tottenham, winning was making sure we stayed in the Premier League. Then as time goes on and we get more successful, it was about getting into Europa league and then the Champions League.
“Obviously the ultimate goal is to win the trophies. That is clearly what we are trying to do. It’s easier said than done.
“Am I happy that we haven’t won more than one trophy in the last 15 years? Absolutely not. But I also think we’ve had some fantastic times. Being in the Champions League a number of times.
“Despite the fact I feel sick that there’s a club (Arsenal) in north London that’s a bit higher than us at this moment in time, if I look back in the last five years we’ve also been higher than them so that’s what happens.”
The third paragraph is a total lie. They have never been trying to win a trophy. How is sacking the manager before a cup final trying to win one?
There is an older quote from him saying something along the lines of winning a trophy is bonus. He is a lying caaaant.

Exactly. Appointing Mason’s mates right before a cup final instead of just leaving a serial winner In Mourinho is another one of his baffling decisions. Yes, Jose had to go but keep him on until end of season. It was a money saving exercise in case Jose won it.
Pretty much an interview that you would expect from an accountant and property developer, the bloke is a bean counter and focussed on business first, sporting success second.
Levy is an investor first, Spurs fan second. With 30K shareholders hanging around, there is no wonder there are so many Levyista`s out there, they will all think he is doing a fantastic job, for obvious reasons.

I agree with this - the first 10-15 years of Levy/ENICs tenure was successful and has given the club fantastic foundations to go forwards.
The issue is the last 7-10 years has shown that other than the planets aligning (world class home grown striker and brilliant manager out of nowhere) Levy and ENIC have no idea about how to take us forward and we’re in danger of seriously regressing.
I’ve said it hundred times, I don’t think there is an owner out there bar an oil state that could have us competing for the very top honours regularly, just the odd flirt like we’re seeing with Arsenal this year. Where I think Levy is missing a trick is not then prioritising the competitions where we have a genuine shot at glory - particularly the 2 lesser Euro trophies all in the name of trying to finish in the top 4 each year.
Just watched it all. A couple of points :
Doesn't mention uncle Joe once. When describing how he managed to become chairman he gives a vague account of investment banking then owning shares in ENIC but not once did he mention how his god father pulled the strings for him.
Ticket prices - He gives some BS answer when asked to justify the highest prices in Europe. Says we offer loads on concessions to mugs like Sandy.
Revenues - He did says all the NFL and F1 stuff helps enhance the name of Spurs overseas and that all revenues from thoses areas will go back into helping the firsy team. Lets see what happens this summer then.
Oh on investments into the club. Flatly denies all the paper talk and says he has to listen to proposals but there is not truth in any of the rumours.
Blantantly blagging but he was very tight throughout and in some cases was very short and gave calculated answers.
Rumours in circulation that Levy wanted to sell Spurs empty trophy cabinet on Ebay?
But he wouldn't pay the £1.00 listing fee.

The issue is the last 7-10 years has shown that other than the planets aligning (world class home grown striker and brilliant manager out of nowhere) Levy and ENIC have no idea about how to take us forward and we’re in danger of seriously regressing.
I’ve said it hundred times, I don’t think there is an owner out there bar an oil state that could have us competing for the very top honours regularly, just the odd flirt like we’re seeing with Arsenal this year. Where I think Levy is missing a trick is not then prioritising the competitions where we have a genuine shot at glory - particularly the 2 lesser Euro trophies all in the name of trying to finish in the top 4 each year.

Just watched it all. A couple of points :
Doesn't mention uncle Joe once. When describing how he managed to become chairman he gives a vague account of investment banking then owning shares in ENIC but not once did he mention how his god father pulled the strings for him.
Ticket prices - He gives some BS answer when asked to justify the highest prices in Europe. Says we offer loads on concessions to mugs like Sandy.
Revenues - He did says all the NFL and F1 stuff helps enhance the name of Spurs overseas and that all revenues from thoses areas will go back into helping the firsy team. Lets see what happens this summer then.

Oh on investments into the club. Flatly denies all the paper talk and says he has to listen to proposals but there is not truth in any of the rumours.
Blantantly blagging but he was very tight throughout and in some cases was very short and gave calculated answers.

Rumours in circulation that Levy wanted to sell Spurs empty trophy cabinet on Ebay?
But he wouldn't pay the £1.00 listing fee.
