I'm not gonna sit here and name every chairman that's better. Fan-owned clubs are the best, no question. Plenty of chairmen in lower leagues and a few in the PL that actually care about the fans, they're all better than King Daniel. I'm not even gonna think about chairmen out of England as thee are thousands of them and undoubtedly plenty are better.
I think its not a fair to compare Spurs to some non-league team in England. Very different situations and expectations. Lets just compare the top(ish) teams in PL
Man United, City, Chelsea, Woolwich, Liverpool, Everton
I don't any of the people in charge there "care" about the fans one bit. They care what you spend and that's about it.
The thing that really irks me about Levy is how many of these deals get so close and then crash over a few million quid or long term payment plans.
We aren't City or Chelsea obviously and Levy does a good job navigating the club's money. However, IMO it seems like a lot of these failed deals stem from Levy's personal pride in being able to get the cheapest deal rather than due to the club's financial situation. It looks like arrogance and it seems like a lot of other clubs see it the same way.
BBC reporting that Ratty wants talks with the Scum. Fuck's sake. We'd better wrap this up quickly. No way do I want the bindippers to get our man, nor face a Woolwich this season who have a 30 goal a year man.
I doubt Liverpool would sell to someone they see as a direct competitor to be honest.
Hopefully...
There are reports that Spurs considering activating release clause for Soldado.

We've come up with the extra quid then?
Watching Ade today, I don't even think we need a striker.
Apparently a bid of 40m for Higuain is in playMadrid will come in for Suarez I think, for several reason. They're selling Higuain for 35m or something, leaving a gap for a striker and money to use. They will realise they aren't getting Bale this window and will look for a "Galactico" signing, which would be Suarez.
