Levy and Spurs are hard to negiotiate with, but not because the top man is jewish. It's because he's a businessman who always looks out for his own business first. He gets a lot of respect for this too, not just flak. There are certain to be people that connect it to him being jewish, but then that perception is a problem with their view of things.
Levy is a brilliant businessman, being jewish isn't the focal point here.
You're absolutely right... 100% spot on... it
shouldn't be because he is Jewish... but unfortunately, the narrative has already been set... Levy is a businessman...who just happens to be a
Jewish businessman!
When other clubs play hardball... it's because the
club wants the best deal... when Spurs do it, it's because
Daniel Levy is a tough negotiator...
Levy is, without question, a Jewish name... and the media know that... which is why, when
other clubs negotiate, you only ever hear the
Clubs' name mentioned.. but when Tottenham enter into negotiations, you know, as well as I do, that it's DANIEL LEVY'S name who gets thrust into the bidding war...
Don't get me wrong... there are plenty of other clubs who have financial Jewish connections; ArseAnal, Chelsea (ironically), Man Utd (I'm assuming the Glazers are...) but they rarely get name checked...
Yet when Spurs enter into the transfer market, Levy's name is
always at the forefront of the headline, as the one pushing hard for a bargain... why the fuck is that?
Yes, he's a businessman... but so are most Premier League Chairmen... who
all want the best deal for their respective clubs/businesses... and yet I don't hear half their names mentioned anywhere NEAR as much as I do Levy's when the subject of transfer negotiations comes up!
Maybe Levy/Spurs ARE just tight fisted Jews... maybe the media had called it right all along, and i'm a total paranoid Jew (like most of my 'ilk'...) EVERYONE says we're paranoid... b'boom!
....but don't say you aren't aware of the sub-text that has been going on for decades!
The media used to love Spurs (in the '60s-'80s...) then something changed.... maybe it was Scholar onwards... but there has been a tangible dislike for everything Spurs have tried to do since we floated on the stock exchange in the early '80s... maybe we were too much a part of 'Thatcher's Britain'... and
that's what the media don't like!! ...and who could blame them?
