Jonathan Turner: ‘Daniel Levy is the best entrepreneur I know’: Inside Tottenham's boardroom | Ep.27
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2024
- This week we welcome Jonathan Turner to the show. Jonathan is a board member at Tottenham. We’ve covered ownership, management, players, but what happens in the boardroom of football's biggest clubs? Brought in by Daniel Levy, a lifelong fan with a background in investment and technology, Jonathan brings the breadth of experience and perspective that’s increasingly valuable in football.
How much of a meeting is focused on business strategy and how much is performance? How do you measure success? These are the questions as fans I wanted to understand, and Jonathan’s role at one of the biggest clubs in the country provides a fascinating insight into the behind the scenes world of football governance.
We’re delighted to welcome Jonathan Turner to the Business of Sport.
----------------------------------------------------
In Today’s Show We Discuss:
What goes on in the boardroom:
How much of the conversation in board meetings is short term performance related vs long term strategy?
A balance between good business and winning on the field can be hard to find. Why?
The new stadium was a major part of developing Spurs into a global football power. What opportunities have been created by having one of the best stadiums in the game?
Work in the community is a major part of the club’s social value. Why is this so important to teams?
Tottenham’s global brand
Value of the Premier League to an international audience and the brands it has been able to create out of its clubs
Having an international reach puts pressure on the schedule to travel and take games to places like Australia and South Korea.
It’s estimated Tottenham have over 200 million fans globally. How do clubs measure this and what do they do to maximise the experience of supporting the club for all fans?
Growth of the game in the US has provided incredible opportunity to add further value and audience to the League.
Jonathan’s role and motivations
A lifelong fan with a huge passion for football, how Daniel Levy asked him to join the board and be a part of the decision making setup.
How a background in investment and tech made him the perfect person to bring a new set of skills and perspectives to the board.
Football clubs, much like any business today, need to think like technology companies. What does this mean?
Building the right infrastructure behind the scenes is a key part of establishing success. How has the board recruited across performance and operations?

I’d say even contents like this is what fans crave. Behind the scenes, the plans and strategies behind the business and development are also incredibly interesting to true fans.
Such a great informed and educated take on the business of football and one of the best in the business. I'm now a subscriber and looking forward to future editions. Appreciate the transparency Jonathan and couldn't agree more with your sentiment about the growth potential of the Tottenham brand around the world. As a Brit living in California, I'm doing my best to spread the word. Come on you Spurs.
Great take, not a brit, but sometimes feel the sentiments as my family lives in the area. Been there during the building and hope to be back shortly. 50 years of support.
Really great vid guys. Glad it came up on my feed. Shared it on a spurs fan forum so hopefully you get a boost in subscribers.
Kerp this up. So much better than a talksport or skysports clickbait article.
Awful video just more PR for Levy and his failed project 1 trophy in 25 years abysmal from a so called BIG 6 club.
@@TottenhamAwayTVget a grip
@@FBIopenup2390Oh shut up! Anyone who still backs Levy 24 years in, is obviously in a Cult - who all live along the Northern Line apparently. 🙄🥱
@@FBIopenup2390 He has a grip, it's you who doesn't.
@@GuidodeKortOfficial He has a grip on the spreadsheets and that’s IT, laddie! 🙄🥱
Great video, as a Spurs fan particular interested myself but would say a great insight for whoever you support.
Awful video just more PR for Levy and his failed project 1 trophy in 25 years abysmal from a so called BIG 6 club.
Loads of half truths. This was propaganda 101.
Bring back the days where we were a skint arse football club struggling with existence but still managed to keep adding to our trophy cabinet.
We got to 110 years old before these grabby investment bankers got their clutches in to us and got rid of the trophy cabinet. Beggars belief.
@@codesouthradioidiotic comment. Only eight trophies were won by teams outside the big six in 25 years. They were all relegated. Careful what you wish for.
@@MoTHFCplease, please enlighten us.
What an interesting, eloquent ambassador for the club. I understand the first and last thought of the day being Spurs once you check the family is ok, me too! Also, being in Oz waking up two, three AM for the loo and checking for any new player announcements.
Alarm bells are ringing with this bloke. Chancer alert, spot one a mile off.
@@fonejacker0Absolutely agree. These bots are clearly Levy plants
Good to know that my great great grandkids might get to see us lift a trophy.
Just what I was thinking. Football will be played by robots in simulators by the time we're "sustainably competitive". Levy is the Bernie Ecclestone of Football. Sucking all the profit and the life out of the sport.
Its interesting, When Man City win titles its always the Chairman who get interviewed after. He is the one that everyone says he is the reason they won. Nothing about the manger at all. When I see a team doing the bus event its always the chairman on the bus holding up the trophy never the manger or players.
So tired of Spurs fans pissing and moaning about Levy. If they didnt have Levy, theyd be pissing and moaning about being stuck in the Championship or the bottom half of the Premiership. I am one of the “New” Spurs fans- started following around 2010. Love the club. I think we will find success in the coming years. Sucks that we couldnt afford to back Poch for those two windows due to the cost of the stadium. We are in great shape. Positive days ahead. Thank you, Daniel. COYS!!
Donald Duck could have done what Daniel Levy has done regarding infrastructure.
I do understand where you’re coming from. Daniel has done a fantastic job of taking the club forward commercially. However, what’s the point of being the fourth richest club in England after, Man City, Man Utd, and Liverpool, and eighth in the world. We have overtaken Arsenal in terms of revenue and are just slightly lagging behind Liverpool and will probably overtake them in a couple of seasons. Yet, I cannot see a trophy dropping anytime soon. It’s really becoming beyond frustrating. Look at our personnel and honestly tell me that we can compete, we can’t. In the space of three seasons Arsenal have over taken us football-wise and have made significant key signings. We continue, year-in-year-out to rummage around bargain basement mid level transfers. Yes, you need to be prudent but heaven’s sake. Can we a least try to win something? Can we have a signing where people say, “Wow! Tottenham means business this season.” We’ve just brought Archie Gray from Leeds. A good prospect but we’re not going to win anything with him next season. He’s not ready yet. We need key signings now and Archie to build for the mid and long term. Plus players are volatile things that don’t always guarantee success, our recruitment has proven to be poor over the last few seasons. I think only Chelsea as a peer club have been worse (last season). However, even looking at the grumblings at Man Utd over the last 10 years. Their failure is still better than our success. Repeat, their failure is better than our success. They have still managed to win trophies. Yes, plural. Trophies. No one is saying that it’s easy, it’s not. But as my maths teacher used to say, “You must try harder.” COYS!
@@gregmcgrath1226 why? Is Levy the only person who can make money for the club? There are no better club owner is there? Fact is, you don’t know, either do I what would had happen, stop thirsting over him like a simpleton, he is here to make money, not football.
Football is about glory and silverware. That's top level sport mate. I couldn't give a monkeys about hotels. We didn't even want a new stadium either! All we wanted, and still want, is a team to be proud of. Levy has brainwashed a large section of the fanbase. We're only a top 6 club financially, but this sadly does not translate to the footballing side. Tottenham Hotspur is just a sideshow in the Levy empire. "To Dare Is To Do" Remember!??
I’ve been a supporter since 1958 and think you’re absolutely spot on. Obviously, it’s not how long you’ve been a fan, more the size of your intellect that dictates how you feel. Keep up the good work!
Australian fans appreciated it and the players for coming to Melbourne
As Spurs fans we want to challenge and win trophies
Sustainably. Only been a fan since the Berbatov, Bale, and Modric days but I’m COYS for life knowing the silverware will come
@@GU_WOP_O I've been a fan since 1978. With Levy I'll be dead before we win the Supercup. You'll get to see all your favourite bands at the ground, and stay in the hotels the night before though.
@@innovirtua so true
@@GU_WOP_O yes. The silverware will come - the silverware will come for the players who choose to move on to greener pastures like the very three players you just listed. All 3 moved on to win everything elsewhere as they knew they were at a club who will never challenge for anything due to the lack of ambition. Since Berbatov’s move in 2008, what has changed? Have we won anything? Do we attract top players? Do we retain our top players? Do our top players still want to move on to greener pastures?
Spurs have challenge for Titles didn't win because the manger at that time wasn't good enough to win the games that matter.
Been saying this for Years. I supported Spurs from when they played at WHL. A club happy to finish 10th with maybe a cup. Getting into the EL was like being in the CL. Today Spurs are a club fighting for the top four and expecting to fight for the title. Levy has made Spurs one of the biggest club in the world despite the club not winning titles. He has made Spurs strong from the base. When he has done hasn't been done by any chairman in football.
Only you and levy would rather finish top4 than get 10th and a trophy. I'm all for ucl football but the trophy is more important
@@stratos5554 me and Levy ? See fans like you make no sense. You say Levy is all about profit yet say he doesn't care about wining things. When winning titles will be a bigger profit then finishing 4th. Levy is the Chairman he brings in mangers who are their to win titles. Poch came close but wasn't good enough. You of course will say he wasn't backed even though when he was PSG he was brought in to win the CL never happen. At Chelsea he got to finials what happen? When Man City wins the PL or when they one the triple last year. Who did you see holding the trophies? Was it the Chairman or Pep and the players, the minimum requirements that Levy wants is CL. An like him I want Spurs to win titles though understand its difficult
What great interview. Thx so much for doing this.
Top notch stadium, automated pitch, plush boxes, NFL media centre, pop concerts, nice toilets, reverse filling beers, increased capacity, double match day revenue. Fantastic, exceptional business acumen, and great foundations. When’s the next trophy coming?
Sit around staring at that spreadsheet a trophy is never coming , so now you know ,you can hopefully move forward now and go and watch darts because stressing over Levy and his club/team is not for you.
As long as Levy is involved in the football decisions, never. maybe a cup one of these days
Exactly this mate 👌🏼
@@dannydowdeswell246 Levy loves fans like you. Charges you silly amounts of money for achieving nothing, and fans like you lap it up. Embarrassing 🤡
This season mate.
I started following Spurs in 78 ,when we were in the 2nd division…I saw us win 3 cups quite quickly.,so I was expecting more of the same.Alas I’ve been used to seeing Spurs win just 2 cups in 40 years since our early success.I’ve been a levy out for a long time as he never fully backed managers but in the time just before Ange came in he ‘d bought in Sarr kulu, Destiny so let’s hope he keeps this up.
“The most poignant one in my head I probably won’t talk about here, the most important thing about the mistakes that you make are that you are very candid about it” 😂😂
we used to be a football club
Interesting 🧐 interview. However the business plan can not be a success until it achieves its real goal which is to win trophies 🏆.
That’s the name of the game . I’ll call it a success when I see that.
A great interview. I have a corporate background and as an Aussie, I am now following Spurs because of Ange.
In the context of this video, it has surprised me how much I have started following football and Spurs.
But…it is primarily limited to following Spurs on RUclips, because I don’t want to pay for subscription to watch Premier League. In comparison, I can watch rugby union, rugby league and Aussies Rules in Australia on free to air TV. Premier League football needs to be provided on free to air TV if it wants to engage Australians more deeply and for the long term.
Thanks for coming to Melbourne , it was great seeing the players, ( established ones and the young up and coming). And of course the coach., Ange. We know it was difficult being so far and a completely different time zone and season .Appreciate it. Any chance of putting together some sort of book or quotations thingy on Ange and his coaching philosophy. Even going right back to his early days. ???? ( without giving to much away to the enemy ! )
What an interview
If only there was a way to put on a VR headset and experience a live game as if u were there in the stadium , could also have huge commercial potential with the other events held at the stadium . Pretty sure fans would buy VR headsets if this was possible to get the live experience from home .
Good insight. If you really put the fans first you would show the same ambition to win trophies as you do chasing new markets and revenue streams. Saying this as an international fan.
Brilliant vid. Lifting the lid on incredibly well run operation. Lets hope it shows on the pitch next season COYS
One more season 🤞🤞🤞🤞 Its only been 25 years. We just need one more though.
@5:32 and we're bantered for our longest trophy drought in 70 YEARS every 15 seconds. Cheers, Daniel. COYS
Hello, great stuff and quite professional! What is you podcast technical setup, what are you filming on? Thanks!
I never comment on videos but really enjoyed this…
Humanising the Tottenham board is a good idea 👍
Humanism the Tottenham board is a good idea? Daniel's PR boy sounded more like a lying tory politician than a football man. 1 League Cup in almost a quarter of an ENIC HOTSPUR century and Loser Levy has won you over!
@@geoffstern7652 nope, remembering signing strikers from lower leagues on loans, free transfers signings of old past it players, needing to sell our best and being around the relegation zone when I was growing up compared to now is down to Levy and others.
Bad decisions have been made of course but what club hasn’t made some bad decisions?
We have been in the position to win the league and It’s not like we haven’t been to finals.
No brain washing, just able to put things into context.
@@saturdaymorninggt7545 Yet we STILL won more trophies in those eras than Loser Levy ever has
@@atavachronwemberley1744 splitting hairs here mate, 1 FA cup in 91 and 1 worthington cup in 99 and mid bottom half mediocre finishes…
Or
Challenging for the league, consistent top 6 finishes and champions league football, multiple finals and a champions league final.
Not perfect, but I’d rather the current regime.
@@saturdaymorninggt7545 Bottom line - the supposedly ‘disastrous’ 1990’s : 2 trophies. In the nearly 25 years since : 1 trophy and no discernible sign of being close to adding to that. Can you imagine Levy and ENIC lasting 5 minutes with Liverpool fans. Of course not. A fanbase and a club from top to bottom geared to and committed to winning - unlike our bunch of complacent losers at the top.
Always wondered with the size of squads nowadays, why clubs don’t split in two and head to two different countries for brand building games. You’d get superstars in both teams. Reckon both would still sell out stadiums around the world (at the same time).
We fans want 🏆
Still sounds like profit over glory 🏆 to me
Great interview and insight as a Spurs fan.
All the profits into the team well let’s see
Brilliant - more please 👍
Stadium naming rights was missing from the first 50 minutes of this interview.
“The FRANCHISE needs to be protected. What the actual f**k, he actually said that.
great podcast! The costume department shall soon be made redundant. Unless jogging is a critical faction of the podcast, I'd recommend leaving your shorts at the gym. COYS
Hey can the actual game be covered with more and better cameras angles in general play and up close? When it's on the other side of the field it can be really difficult to watch and see what is going on ,or even who was involved. Getting those basics right would greatly improve the experience of the majority of supporters worldwide I'd imagine. Content around the actual game and incidences in the game would be what would interest me. Watching the absolute best talent up close and their raw God given talent is a privilege. Cheers
brilliant!!
Awful video just more PR for Levy and his failed project 1 trophy in 25 years abysmal from a so called BIG 6 club.
@@TottenhamAwayTV Negative, predictable, and boring, comment, as ever, from you mob. 🥱🥱😴😴
@@simonfoxhall8604But as true today as it was 24 years ago
I’m worried about fans who can’t handle other fans who are fed up of Levy & ENIC.
Basically many Spurs fans want it there or no way otherwise they can’t handle it.
I’m very worried of Spurs fans who accept failure, accept mediocrity and are just happy to compete for Top 4 on the basis they don’t have the ambition of winning trophies. They view trophies as a “bonus”but yet tell everyone “Spurs is a big club” 🤷♂️
Our club had been degraded exponentially by Levy & ENIC and fans embrace this how can you not be worried?
Degraded? So, challenging near the top 4 was a regular occurrence 25 years ago… when pissing in a trough and not being able to get a pint at the game was the way? So bloody shortsighted. Just showing your stupidity.
Trophies would be nice.
I have all ways backed D Levy he’s build the training ground and the fantastic stadium with out putting the club in jeopardy
How do you measure success? Consistent competitiveness and winning trophies.
As a long form content creator where all your long form videos have the most views I’m shocked you asked him about Tik tok and “attention spans”
So you're interested in expanding your fan base at the cost of pricing your existing fans out of thestadium
As a fan that lives in Australia, imagine the cost it would be for me to travel to England and stay for one game
Not limited to Spurs, the PL or even Sport in general.
If fans keep buying the 125 shirt and spend money at the stadium while the club wins nothing, why not? Levy didn’t force you to give him your money.
I agree that no one forced Spurs fans to buy the shirts every season. No-one forced people to pay Levy's ridiculous prices.
EXACTLY shameless and zero appreciate for a fanbase who's been treated like a cashflow cow to generate wealth for the owners nothing else.
He could be talking about grimsby town for all we know. Since he hardly mentioned anything sbout the team and made zero mentions about Ange
It amazes me that a video from a channel called the “Business” of sport has so many clueless fans complaining that they’re not being mentioned and their feewings are being hurt… it’s a discussion about the business side of the club… it’s not a video that’s supposed to cup your balls in a warm embrace and tell you you’re all so wonderful. Get TF over yourselves… there are plenty of channels you can go 😢😢 on.
@@drew-drewzilla-borham9276 👏👏👏
A discussion on the football side of the club wouldnt be that much of a watch. Thats the point.
@@codesouthradio still avoiding answering the seven clubs above us in the financial league, then?
No surprise 🤣🤣🤣
You lack the intellect to illicit any more responses.
@@simonfoxhall8604 have you and your intellect ever heard of Forbes? Wake up mate
They aren’t in the business of winning is why so many fans disapprove. Yet you labelled fans “clueless” seems odd 🤷♂️
Get this in your thick skulls: you're a customer/consumer to them, before you are a fan. Your money is what matters.
The club looks great it’s run very very well but it takes in and creates a huge amount of money there’s been to many mistakes far to many managers and players simply not good enough in terms of on the field success
I honestly like a lot of what Jonathan is saying. But but some of these answers are very political, as you would expect I guess
Daniels PR man keeps talking about long range planning after almost a quarter of a century of ENIC HOTSPUR...
Football club, NOT a business. 'We make long term decisions' - ENIC are doing everything they can (go karting, skywalk, concerts, etc) to increase the value of their portfolio. The money is not amply reinvested into the football team.
Unfortunately Football is now a business and has been for a long time. While making money books also need to be balanced, otherwise we're back to the late 80's/ early 90's. Levy has made sure that no second coming of Irving Scholar can put us back in that situation. Additionally, when ENIC came in we were not financially fit and lucky to still be a PL club. We now compete in and around the top 4 regularly. A lot of money gets spent on the team. Pochettino spent almost 500m, Mourinho spent over 100m, Conte also. We have a recruitment team and they've improved over the last few years. The Poch years had us ahead of the plan, but it is all moving in the right direction and can only be good for the club.
Levy is a great listener is the biggest joke.. In any business.. you listen to your customers needs.. Tell me which fan does not want to see their team lift trophies.. Talking about our grankids experience.. They wont support Spurs if we do not win anything.. They rather support city etc than have a nice padded seats and the whole hospitality experience.. Levy and the board are so deluded.. Funny he keeps mentioning profit will be trown back into the team.. Thats like the board members meeting narrative.. Over 20 years and the board has neen a failure.. Just go look at Liverpool and how long their board got it right.. Muppets
Gazza has really turned himself around. And lost the accent!
hahaha
Sounds great, but what are we actually doing with that money? How many of our signings sit on the bench and eat wages week in week out? How many players are in the last year of their contracts with little to no resale value? Great business model, terrible recruitment.
'Levy has a long term perspective'. Yeah, you're not kidding.
This really shows that we are business venue and not a football club. Business is part of football. Football is not Business😢
CORRECT
The club I have supported for almost 60 years is now referred to as a product 😢
Fans saying “we’ve been bantered too much”
Me: 😑 are you kidding me? Are you so soft that you care about nobodies “bantering” you?
Tesco made the same decisions with their supply chain in a box strategy. Cheap but terrible quality food.
Can anyone explain how the "bigger" teams have more capital. The traditionally bigger clubs are mostly not in the Champions League and have not won the league for many years
Meanwhile, whilst Johathan bigs up the ENIC business model, the clubs biggest rivals the Arsenal have won 7 FA Cups, 7 community shields, and 2 Premier League titles (whilst mostly being crap) since ENIC bought THFC for much less than they sold Harry Kane for!
Of course you're forced to pay if you want go to matches. That's a ridiculous statement
This is one of the worst PR video's Spurs have engineered this year
Who is this fella?
So for over 20years we got it wrong. Now with the new experts that's been brought in. We've seen numerous managers and really bad buys.
How long is it going to take to get Spurs turn from losers to winners?
COYS
Levy is a brillant business man and done a great job turning the club around but the fans are sick of not pushing hard enough to want to bring the top quality players needed to win trophies its what Tottenham football club is a football club ..And as Poch said and Conte no point having a beautiful house with no furniture timt to start spending big and change the wage structure ..Great the club is stable but fans want success on the pitch as well as off it .
Spot on 👌 absolutely nailed it. We've shone Levy's balls for years about what a good businessman he is. 23 years and 1 trophy. It's time to reflect it on the pitch.
“Daniel is an incredibly good listener” for shareholders, board of directors and money makers NOT fans, football managers and our best players.
Spurs win NOTHING so who is Levy listening to? 😂😂
Himself, he brought Spence when Conte said wtf. Now he lost mils on the player, and many more, Levy is horrible and this video has reinforced that.
@@zhilong He wanted Bastoni but stingy Levy refused to pay the money.
I'd be embarrassed to big up an ownership model that isn't aligned to its customers'needs or desires. For the last quarter of a century they have taken us for a ride.
This video is about how to make money, not how to be good at football. So yeah, fans are Levy’s money farm while he gives nothing to football.
SPOT ON
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Why don't you just continue your ride to HULL.
Shortsighted entitled viewpoint. Levy has transformed our club from mediocrity to elite.
There are far more Pro-Levy real spurs fans than the shortsighted Levy Out Brigade who simply can’t (or refuse to) see the logic behind the only strategy that can enable Spurs to consistently compete.
Unless you regulate football to stop the shambolic fickle fans who need to protest against the actions of Levy’s poor pitch success on the field them I am afraid nothing will change.
This chap in the video is what the problem is with the club, great off the field with commercial success but trophless on it. Please spurs fans support the team not the regime. #tottenhamaway #steliostalkssense
This is awful and further confirmation of how Levy and his cronies have destroyed our FOOTBALL club.
Terrible biased video.
Don’t think it’s biased mate, he is a bussiness man, they are not in it for the football.
God you are a negative thicko
No more biased than your comment! Would you rather a club that overspends on players and wages only for those expensive players to fail? The result of that is relegation and/or several years of low league suffocation of club and supporters. Take your pick. I know what I would have!
@@zhilong The video is biased they just agree with him zero rebuttal or questioning of the utter failure on the field of play.
@@TottenhamAwayTV utter failure... do you even hear yourself?
They talk about success on the pitch as if it doesn't involve lifting the trophies at the end of the season? Business, business, business....money, money, money...sell Bale, Modric, Berbatov, Dembélé don't buy Hazard, Grealish, and other key figures when haggling over a couple millions. The contradictions over what they say and what they do is night and day.
But yeah, go buy your 100£ kits and 20£ burgers, go race F1, go do the skywalk, hotel and watch NFL, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé...and still win nothing!! They'll still take your money every season and sell the same bollocks "we're competing hee hee hee". Football is finished with these megalomane prices, dead ballers, and businessmen.
We have to be so wary of talking about players just as assets. This talk of players showing their life behind football is unfair, they are human beings and deserve to have privacy away from all of the media attention and scrutiny they already face. There is a line to be toed
Daniel Levy has the worst trophy per season percentage stats of any THFC chairman since World War Two when no football was even being played. STATISTICAL FACT!!!
Levy is the best entrepreneur, but the worst football chairman. 23 years of profit before glory.
the worst football chairman? look where our club has come from 2000. don’t be so ridiculous
@@charliehunt1470 What has he done we don't see thousands do on Homes under the hammer!
@@GrumpyBugger.what are you talking about?
Put some pants on bro.
This explains why Levy is so rich but won nothing great in football. Thanks and hope Levy go away for someone like Roman from the old Chelsea to come in.
U mean a war merchant who supports war crimes and mafia murders. Well No thank you. U better go support the plastics instead.
The way this man speaks is why Spurs win nothing this is all for show nothing anout this man signifies FOOTBALL SUCCESS measured by trophy wins 🏆
Well, you're talking like a fan who only sees the pitch and the team.
But there's more to a club than just on the pit h.
Did Spurs deliberately go out to be trophyless? No.
Do you need money to compete? Yes.
Then how do you get the money? Man City and Chelsea had sugar daddies.
Spurs would need a self funding business.
To generate money, you need to think beyond the normal TV rights. Gate recipes, etc.
Spurs had to increase capacity as well as modernise the stadium for the next 100 years.
They've done fantastically well with infrastructure, and thst should pay in a long run for tip talents on the pitch.
Arsenal couldn't buy decent players for almost 20 years...
Spurs can still compete reasonably well, about 5 years after opening an expensive stadium.
You should also understand that Spurs is a public quoted company... Their business must be above board....
I always say that if all the clubs in the EPL spend £1b on players, only one can win the league, and some will be relegated...
So spending money must be done in a sensible manner, or you're in for a big fall
Troll alert!!!
You banned people from your channel who do not share your doomsday opinions yet you running around on everyone's channel spewing your nonesense.
I saw your recent post on Mitchell. Obviously, I could not have a good laugh of how Insane your thumbnail reads.
"Mitchell gave us the best starting 11 ever". What a tummy buster!!
So, commonsense, maybe not so at your channel would say, he was not responsible for the rest of the squad or whatever else happened around the team. That would be Levy. The ones that succeeded are all due to the manager and scouts or directors, the failures lie squarely at Levy's feet.
"Tottenham Away" , your negativity don't bother me one bit, it is your arrogance, that boil my blood, and no disrespect to the other writers, presenters or commentators on the channel, that miscreant in a hat that sets me off.
@@RAJ-Jamcalyup, well done. And it all still amounts to an empty trophy cabinet.
Whilst we have these capitalists behind the scenes who only think in terms of profits and balance sheets, us football fans will be subjected to another 25 years of mediocrity.
Keep on fighting these money men’s corners. Keep sucking that BS teet. Tottenham are the laughing stock of world football.
@@RAJ-Jamcaldon’t bother trying to talk facts to him. He doesn’t care. We could win a treble and he’d still want levy out. He’d rather us spend all the money in our coffers, win a tin pot and then die as a club.
41:10 This is everything that's wrong with the PR loaded trash they keep shoving through our throats. I don't care, train for the games, play the matches, win the trophies.
I don't give a shit about what's on player X's phone lockscreen. Win us a goddamn trophy. That's your job, not being a celebrity and win nothing. Ask Harry Kane how he feels about that.
FUCK THIS ITS MAKING ME ANGRY
99% of the comments are trashing this Spurs board member ands this interview ZERO connection with out fanbase.
Tbf, a large percentage of those are from you.
Levy knows how to run a business no clue how to run a football club.
Daniel Levy has the worst trophy per season percentage stats of any THFC chairman since World War Two (statistical fact) whilst the Arsenal during the ENIC era (whilst being mostly crap) have won 7 FA Cups, 7 community shields and 2 Premier League titles. (16 trophies) During the ENIC era! Arsenal fans have celebrated their team picking up trophies at Wembley stadium on 14 occasions compared to LOSER LEVY'S 1 since ENIC bought THFC. Statistical fact!
50:10 Which club in EUROPE he asked. Answer: Liverpool. That's not even IN EUROPE technically. I'd have respected Mr Turner if he replied Real Madrid, because they win everything. The aim of the game. This is how I get this is a series of waffle.
Alarm bells are ringing with this guy. Chancer alert, spot one a mile off.
What u mean?
Why can't he say trophies. Success is such a vague definition 🤦♂️#LEVYOUT
The most poignant mistake, let me guess, senior concession removals.
No he’s not. The point of the league is to win something.
How to run a club and alienate fans the plan is; increasing assets and not creating a great team.This dude is s biased as hell.
Worst run football club on the pitch, best run business
Utter rubbish
@@dutchgrass lmfao uou one of those fans see NO trophies, NO desire to bring in better players that take us up a level yet the club makes soooo much money that means we are successful lmfao ok my friend
@dutchgrass were are the trophies why when we make Champions League they REFUSE to compete for the best player
@@jordanbeckford7044no, I am a fan that wants us to win but is also aware the football landscape of the last 20 years with the likes of Chelsea and City making winning something harder than ever. We are the 5th/6th highest turnover club, some way off the top ones therefore expecting us to win and classifying not doing so as failure & worst run club is just foolish & makes you look like a child.
@dutchgrass can you read ? Worst run club ON THE FiELD especially of the top 6 clubs the ambition is garbage going for BARGAIN basement players like a loanee of Werner, Vlad Chirches, Pacers Chadli, Jack Clarke, Kevin NKoudou , Federico Fazio , Vincent Janssen, all garbage yet they were making BIG dollars from Champions League that's not even the whole list new stadium bringing in money yet we're getting bargain player and trying to get KWP
1. You do not support a football club at 4 years old…. BS
2. Please say strategy properly, you sound like a chancer.
3. I struggle to see how selling Bale, Modric, and Kane is long term stradeegee.
4. Also going 3 windows of not buying players
5. Also the recent strategy of employing cheque book managers, and not backing them.
6. No trophies in 23 years.
7. This is interesting though, almost a PR ‘charm’ offensive to excuse further lack of trophies.
8. COYS 🐓
Am sorry this man is about football success off the pitch, fact is this… Levy sacks managers when he is positively challenged about success on the pitch and the fact countless managers have gone and one trophy in the 16 years is all you need to know about Levy. Shame on those people who claim we are just negative and missing fans when in fact we care much deeply about the club but the IQ of winning trophies is zero. Support Stelios on Tottenham Away channel and you will get all the facts and evidence where the club is heading.
Daniel Levy is nothing but a failure, and arguably the worse thing to happen to Tottenham Hotspur football club.
1 league cup in 24 years, all whilst he’s made himself a billionaire at the fans’ expense.
If you think Daniel Levy is anything other than a failure, you need your head testing.
Football is about glory. It’s about trophies.
“To dare is to do”.
ENIC OUT. LEWIS OUT. LEVY OUT!!!
One League Cup in 23 years, Levy out, ENIC out.
Talks so much, but says very little. Everything he has said has been out in the public domain for years.
Levy is good at giving himself bonuses every year for failing. What a guy hey?
One trophy in quarter of a century and your bragging your running a successful football club.EMBARASSING
That fans are still supporting this loser chairman and board makes me sick🤮
Fans like you make me sick
Spurs looking to digitise the whole business ?! Wtf is he on about we are a football club and our fans are looking to win trophies!
Understand, you are also a business, which is what is being discussed. Football Clubs, the same as every other business will eventually be digitised and Tokenised. That will include realestate.
Levy is a used car salesman he will say whatever he likes to get money.
How can Aston Villa in the space of 5 years go from the championship to passed Spurs who were in the Champions League final.
We as a club generate double their revenue yet they show more ambition than us in the transfer window.
How do West Ham get players like Kudus earning half the revenue at Spurs.
Whilst fans are waiting for the future Utopia, it has been close to 25 years.
When will it get here. What are The SMART goals for Spurs to achieve this success.
All dymamics missing in this interview.
Where is the evidence when we get to an impasse under Poch or Redknapp? The club will actually support the manager.
There are too many questions left unanswered.
Whilst we are awaiting this Utopia, how much will the club take from the fans whilst offering nothing tangible in return and long will players want to staybor join a team that doesn't want to win anything.
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
what kinda idiot are you? You think Villa have passed us because they finished above us 2 years? Bloody hell, you might wanna see who all Villa, West Ham and Leicester have finished above over the last decade and ask yourself if these clubs are above any of the ones they've finished above
Mong
Football is always evolving and Villa have done great to be competitive at the top end of the Premier League. Spurs have been there for the last 10-15yrs and will challenge for Top 4 again in the upcoming season
Levy what was the point of Mourinho and Conte if you refuse to back them and refuse to match their ambitions????
He did back them, look at actual spend rather than repeating what morons say on social media
Levy';s ambition is Top 4 and hotels and he has the customer base (not fans) eating out of his palms
@@dutchgrass spending money doesnt mean backing if the manager doesnt get the player he wants. mourinho wanted skrinar/dias but levy got him rodon. not backing at all
@@MrDitkovich most managers don't get all their 1st choice, does that mean none are backed? Arteta wanted the Ukrainian player who went to Chelsea and had to accept trossard, means he isn't backed?
@@dutchgrass i still dont think mourinho and conte were fully backed. they didnt have signings to push them on to compete. they were given rodon, spence. conte even said spence was a club signing and didnt want him. same with pochettino and jack clarke. he didnt want him, clarke was a club signing
