Wasn't sceptics, the club said a few times only limited highlights on Spurs Play. So really glad they did thisThere were many skeptics saying they would only release a 15min highlights video so good on them for releasing the entire event.

I wonder if it would have been on YouTube and in its entirety if we'd have lost our first 5 games. That Levy's a shrewd operator, isn't he?And its on Youtube so very accessible to all
I watched this while having me dinner and it was actually quite good. Better than I thought it would be anyway. Everyone seems to be really positive and optimistic for the season, and I love Ange, he just seems to get it.
Haven’t watched it yet, but fully intend to.I’ve seen many of the main parts of the forum now.
Ange and Sonny came across as most of us already knew/presumed they are, top blokes.
Levy also came across how many of us also know he is, arrogant, ignorant, full of excuses and mistruths and an almost pathological blame deflector.
He would make an excellent politician, that’s for sure.Levy came across as someone who (understandably) often falls back on 'politicians answers'. But also as someone who understands the club and the fans mentality all too well; he throws in a few remarks and jokes that he knows will be populist, even though I'm not sure they are naturally him - I actually think he really wants to be liked.
The way he looked at and refers to Ange made me smile, I think he's well aware he's finally picked a good one. Thought he was quite honest the about previous management mis-steps, given he really couldn't be seen to slag them off openly.
There are plenty worse chairmen out there, ask Utd.
He would make an excellent politician, that’s for sure.
He’s showing his face everywhere now because we’ve won a few games and the fans are in good spirits again. Where was all this talk from him when the shit was well and truly hitting the fan last season? He was nowhere to be seen or heard.
Also his views on Conte and Mourinho are so horribly flawed. “They weren’t the right manager for us” is what he keeps saying. They were the problem, not us.
Also he speaks as if hiring them in an effort to win trophies was for any reason other than the fact he believed it would be cheaper than rebuilding the squad under Pochettino.
The vibes are good again, we’re going well and we’ve got a really decent manager at the helm now in Ange, BUT, I implore Spurs fans to not be blinded once again by Daniel Levy’s words. We still desperately need to get this man out of the club.
Tom we can't know his motives to be fair. He kind of intimates he went for Conte Jose at the behest of fan anger at not winning and more intresting from senior players ( widely believed to be Kane). This seems to support some critics who point to whole 'I'm seeing Mr Levy' Danny Rose Amazon documentary insights. Its amazing the transformation a positive coach has had, and Levy parroting we have are Spurs back is amusing considering he's forgotten he also employed Nuno.He would make an excellent politician, that’s for sure.

And I think that justification is a load of cobblers. Trying to deflect some of the blame of hiring them on fans is absolutely shocking as well.He literally said that he made a mistake in hiring Conte and Jose, the justification was that he wanted to hire a 'win now' manager to get us over the line but he did take accountability for it.

Also don’t forget mate, after he sacked Mourinho, he came out with his classic “we want to hire a coach that will play attacking football, the Spurs way, etc etc” then went on to make an absolutely monumental cock up of appointing a new manager before settling for Nuno, so him trying to put out there that Mourinho and Conte we’re just a phase in isolation where he was trying to “win now” doesn’t hold any weight.
Also, let’s call a spade a spade here, Ange so far has proven to be a good hire, but let’s not pretend there was some master plan from Levy to hire him this summer. Ange was 3rd possibly 4th choice on the list, we hired him because we couldn’t get our top targets.
I’m delighted with the start to the season and I’m fully behind Ange and the team, but don’t get sucked in by Levy’s bullshit again.
Tbf, Levy doesn't control how much we do, or more appropriately, don't invest.It’s not a good look for him whichever way you look at it because he didn’t throw the obscene levels of money at the team that managers like Mourinho or Conte,
This time he has zero excuses for not investing exactly where Ange dictates.
No more punts or square pegs for round hole squad padding.
