I mean that's a big individual failure, the NFL's interest starting to drift being another notable issue, but I was more just referring to the overall poor business positioning of the club.
We've got the world's best money-spinning stadium and yet won't position the football club to take advantage of it. That just doesn't make any sense.
I also reject the notion of a clean dividing line between football and business in the abstract (FSG absolutely had strategic input on the major decisions that sent the Klopp project skyward), and especially with Daniel Levy specifically, where it's totally fanciful to think you can un-ring the bell of him being the final word on all transfer dealings.
He isn't capable of running the institution his decisions and delivery on infrastructure projects have built. The club is too big and the industry has changed too much. That's all there is to it.
A good percentage of the events now pitched at the megadome would have gone to Wembley Stadium in the past.
I'm sure the F.A. must have been thrilled about that. As they probably were when they found out about Levy's role in the European Super League.
Levy is a man still digging, in a hole he dug for himself, whilst burning all his bridges at the same time.
Those still defending Levy would do well to remember that his main period of success came off the back of plundering West Ham United and Leeds United for their best players once these clubs got into relegation and financial difficulties.
He used similar tactics on the loyal Spurs supporters by instigating a season ticket waiting list and using it as a stick to beat them with, during renewal periods, having increased ticket prices. The spoofer even took away discount in the club shop for the most loyal supporters who stumped up in advance of the season. These are the calculated actions of a mean and miserly person motivated by greed.
A completely different criteria and logic has always been applied to his own remuneration and benefits package.
The double standards Levy has lived by whilst running Spurs have never been a secret.
The man is a glorified pawn broker who believes in his own legend.
The decent appointments he has made were; Arnesen, Jol, Redknapp, Poch and Mitchell.
Arnesen was poached by Chelsea and he sacked all the rest.
The treatment of Jol in particular, a good man, warm human being, has never sat right with me. Jol was humiliated for objecting to the sale of Berbatov having already had Carrick sold from under him.
It's a similar tale with all the player recruitment.
The appointments made by Levy that have worked out well were all made between 2005 - 2014.
Every appointment before and after this period has been average or poor.
It's fair to say Levy would sack Levy.
