Over the next day I’m going to create a thread detailing Levy and Joe Lewis time at the club. How everything is based on off the field assets, how it’s clear and cannot be argued they are not after on field success only a substantial and remarkable profit from a future sale!
You will see how some managers have overachieved and tried to push on only to be held back as it wasn’t in ENIC’s best interests to gamble on players, nearly 20 years and 1 league cup says it all!
Poch is the latest to be undermined and made the scapegoat.

The premier league table 1999/2000
The significance of this is not only was it the last table of the dreaded 90’s (period where we won double what we have won in 19 years since) it was also the last season before ENIC took over.
Spurs sat in 10th

December 2000, ENIC an investment company have purchased Tottenham Hotspur for £22m. We are told signings are unlikely for now (sound familiar?) Levy tells us he’s a spurs fan and we then hope the new owners want success on the field, not to be run as a business off it.
George Graham was the first manager to be fired by Levy. Now for any fan that thinks Poch should speak out about finances, not spending, contracts running out. An interesting read for you https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/tottenham-hotspur/3001055/Spurs-sack-Graham.html
Next in is Hoddle, so begins our now familiar tale of we nearly signed (insert world class name here) only to be somehow stopped. These complications seem to have hindered all managers. Yet Levy’s deluded fan club won’t have it being to do with him https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/football/2002/aug/07/newsstory.sport
In out in out in out David Pleat was given another shout! Having been caretaker before Graham (pre Levy), again before Hoddle, Levy brought him back this time for a season. Not the last time Levy will write off a season entirely to “get it right in future” the future was Santini
The future lasted a pitiful 5 months, the man put in place, the structure put in place would fail spectacularly! It was so much of a nightmare for the coach he left. Santini never had the control he wanted. Another coach failed https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/football/2004/nov/06/newsstory.tottenhamhotspur
Jol was next to try but ultimately fail despite a good start.

Ramos took charge and won the league cup (only trophy in 19 years under ENIC) but the next summer Levy sold star player Berbatov at the last minute of deadline day and left Ramos with Frasier Campbell on loan as a replacement. Another manager doomed!

Redknapp pulled us out of trouble and into the top 4, however in THAT famous January with Spurs actually in a title race, Redknapp wanted Tevez and Cahill. Levy refused to back him though and instead opted for Saha and Nelson

AVB was next to be let down. Moutinho deal left too late (see Dybala now) does he ever learn? Bale sold and instead of getting who the manager wanted, Levy gambled on multiple players who didn’t suit the managers playing style

Sherwood came in as the latest in Levys scattergun manager approach, didn’t see out his contract and we moved for LVG, Man Utd nipped in and got him first meaning we went for Pochettino to get us to where we are today https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/football/2014/jun/03/louis-van-gaal-tottenham-manager-manchester-united
A few subtle hints that Poch has been unhappy for a while with how things are run transfer wise!

Does Daniel Levy respect the fans? Is he honest with us?

In conclusion
If you are #PochOut ask yourself will that solve anything? Why is Poch now failing? What makes you think manager number 11/12/13 whatever will be the one when all previous managers have complained of the same things. Levy is responsible https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/09/25/tottenham-no-longer-recognisable-team-mauricio-pochettino-built/amp/

Another manager tries, another manager fails. Another manager gets sacked after bemoaning not being backed by our tight owners and arrogant clueless chairman. Levy is a leach sucking the life out of our club.
