Is this a good or ad thing for us? No idea if he has been any good at his job.
He looks like a cunt so personally I’m pleased.
I've said before I don't think Levy is all that interested in naming rights.
Think the club gets more exposure from concerts/NFL being staged at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Good. Stadiums with corporate names are so vulgar.
Agreed. The Emirates Stewardesses who line the players tunnel on the way out at the Library is just so random for football.
Not forgetting 16 consecutive years in Europe which only ended this season.
100%, we need to rename it to White Hart Lane though if we aren't selling the rights.
Where do Deloitte get their figures, our last years figures are not out till this Feb. That covers june 22 to June 23
Yes but what have Brighton won. Nothing…..can’t be that good.
Brighton are in hock to the owner to the tune of 400m.
The recruitment team at Chelsea came from Brighton. Brighton buy cheap and sell big. If a few of their signings don’t come off the supporters don’t care too much. They certainly would if it was us.
Ridiculous comment.
A few years ago they were down in Div 1 playing at a 7,000 capacity athletics track. Before that they ground shared 60 miles away at Gillingham. I've been to both those stadiums and they make Selhurst look like New WHL.
They've risen 30? 40? positions in the league. They were playing an FA cup semi last season. Playing Ajax and Marseille in Europe.
If WE had had that level of improvement we'd be winning doubles and trebles.
I was asked to reference a club that was doing things well.
Annoying that Barber was one of ours.
If their signings don't come off they're in relegation trouble. If ours don't we just get new ones or fire the manager.
Clubs like that are one bad managerial mistake from relegation. Saints 2000's eg. Charlton 1990's. Even Spammers, 1990's.
The cunt called Todd was a former NFL executive, assumption the premise to find a big US based corporate sponsor for the naming right but failed or clearly wasnt getting anywhere... secretly seems to be sucking off the other Todd during his tenure .. rather than renting Bohley has permanently bought his small spooner .
Without knowing any of the details and solely looking at actions, it's fair to say that whatever he was doing at Spurs it was thought he was doing a good job seeing he wasn't fired. The Athletic did a big piece of how shit Spurs were last year and detailed within his department many people had left their jobs to go to other Sports Clubs or affiliations, some even left without a job to go to. Perhaps this was a good thing, a department that needed shaking and/or sharpening up, perhaps he was a cunt to work for????
The same article also had Levy as the person who singlehandedly brought in the F1 Cart deal (which seems odd given this guy's title).
Since he arrived at Spurs commercial revenue is up 140%. Which supports the fact that he wasn't getting fired and was thought to be doing a good job???
I think there is also a wide acceptance that Stadium Sponsorship deals are just not done in this country, the only examples are those given to affiliated owner businesses. I can only think of 2 that exist (there must be others) Amex Stadium - which I think makes sense as Brighton is very much a provincial Town that has American Express UK as it's largest employer and the other is The Emirates, which isn't a straight stadium deal as they sponsor their shirts too.
But yeah, the headline news on this fella is that he was hired to bring in a Stadium Sponsor and failed. He didn't bring in the NFL which was Levy and predates his appointment and didn't bring in F1 which was also Levy. It reminds me of when everyone was so gassed about when Utd announced they had poached the City guy the other week, praising him as a brilliant commercial guy, but 75% of their revenues come from Mansour owned companies.
