[Football] Why do Spurs fans hate Daniel Levy so much?

[Randy McNob]

They usually finish where they should for a club their size
always play good football
win the odd cup now and then
most prolific striker in the country
well organised, great academy and able to attract top players and coaches
arguably the best ground in the country
Champions league final a few years ago
usually always finish in a euro spot

There are far, far worse chairmen around, bit ungrateful aren't they?

 

[Swansman]

Because they're not winning enough football games

 

[Rogero]

And not playing attacking football.

 

[BNthree]

Because they’re entitled numpties that are bitter their rivals are leading the legal currently?

 

[Sheebo]

I put something similar on the premier league thread. It’s like sheep and they all follow. So entitled all these clubs who suddenly turn on the owner when they’re not doing as well as they’d like. Thank god for the Bloom family.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Dunno, but if sold the ‘Yid Army’ chants under Arab owners will be interesting….

 

[Stat Brother]

It saves time.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

win the odd cup now and then

It's mainly been then, rather than now, for a while.

 

[pb21]

always play good football

Just came on here to say how boring tonight's game is, primarily because Spuds are as dull as dishwater.

 

[beorhthelm]

think its simply because he hasn't spent as many hundreds of millions as other clubs. (even though they probably have in total over the decades)

“You’ll never take the West Bank!”

Rinse and repeat.

 

[A1X]

Because he’s not spending the GDP of a small nation on the latest shiny toys like the other big clubs do

 

[Dibdab]

win the odd cup now and then

that part must have passed me by

Did the same to us at the Amex. I swear that wouldn’t be allowed to happen under RDZ & if he was our manager that night, it wouldn’t have finished 1-0 spurs & we wouldn’t have let them kill the game like we did.

Christ you must be old

 

[faoileán]

Spuds fans are an odd bunch; they feel like they support a massive club but the evidence isn't there to back it up and so they sulk in a permanent state of disappointment and disgruntlement.

 

[Easy 10]

5th highest net spend in the PL over the last 5 years (£331m).

Ha! An oldie. Respect.

Clearly old enough to remember Tottenham taking over your city (then town) in 1978 and probably hate Kane cos he scores more often than not against ‘The Albion’? Hence the hatred?

We’ve won trophies dating back to 1901. But you know that anyway. Be interesting to see how many folk getting excited about Brighton qualifying for Europe (and excited you should be and I’ll be cheering it on) travel abroad given they think £25 for a FAC4 game is expensive.

You’re way off.

In a non aggressive way. PM me. We’ll have a pint down my local - or yours (unless you live somewhere ridiculous) - and I’ll explain to you why we can’t stand Levy.

I would say you probably aren’t bothered enough to go through with the above, but given the thread you started you probably are.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Levy will never match Chelsea, Citeh, Man Utd, Liverpool for player spend, even though he has the resources to do so.

Financially he has been a great chairman, but he is tight and has missed out of players he could have purchased. He has pursued vanity managers like Mourinho and Conte at the expense of exciting, attractive football, but unlike George Graham these dullards have won nothing.

He has failed to replace Walker, Alderweireld and Vertonghen with players of similar quality. The same can be said for Eriksen and Moussa Dembele. They have a world class attack, OK midfield, a midtable defence and a keeper that is a liability. Kane is carrying that side at the moment. And now they watch as Arsenal leapfrog them to - quite possibly - an improbable title just as many of the other giants have hit the rocks. There's no reason why Spurs couldn't be in Arsenal's position.
