Not according to mindless - he disagreed with my post, where I paraphrased the Romans sketch from the life of Brian
Work that out!
I signed Coman and Goeretzka. Was then given 120m in Jan window. Signed Arpe and Pellegrini.
End of the day its wages that count. Transfer fees wernt too high.
Levy sounds like me. That might not freak ppl out but when you hear that he looks like me too you might agree that's a bit weird. I am tall though. But judging by that video he owns a biggercock than me.
He saved us from certain bankruptcy, Scholar had run the club into a fiscal abyss, Venables even showed up on the day of purchase without the money to buy his share. Sugar then caught him with his hand in the till, running the club like one of his sleazy West end karaoke dives.
He’s a bit of an abrasive cunt who was never going to throw money round, but he was a safe pair of hands who got the club back on a sound financial footing, developed the ground and handed over a health club to good purchasers who had a feel for the club, the game and also owning other clubs and the machinations involved.
He renegotiated the debt with Midland Bank. That is it. This is what any businessman would have done taking control of the Club (business). He was no savour, no white knight, no miracle worker.
The bloke is a massive prick and took the Club backwards by decades by missing the boat with Sky (although he made sure he made a fucking mint personally). There has never been a more humiliating owner in our history, with his weekly public wanking over Arsene Wenger, his Carlos Kickaball comments and his hiring of Christian who the fucking hell are you Gross. He ran Spurs as though it was a market stall, or should that be stool.
He's a cunt.
He was on it. On the premier league gravy train and didn't see it
He should have gone long Tottenham Hotspur
Everyone overtook us that saw the potential
We were of the "big five" (despite our financial overcommitment). Our club was instrumental in bringing Sky to the party (it's OK to be fucked off with that if your anti-Sky) but to be in that position and have the added bonus of a Chairman who supplied the fucking dishes that enabled Sky to actually operate is fucking negligent on his part.
The greatest trick he ever pulled was to convince Spurs fans that we were shit. But by the time he left he was good to his word because he did turn us into shit. A true embarrassment of a Club.
Can't stand the way he talks to people, comes across as being cold, dictatorish and arrogant. How he's got away with what he has in business, fair play to him but..... Amstrad what a load of fucking shite, anyone remember the email phone (google it). Then his lack of foresight of how the prem would take off and subsequently taking our club so far backwards to the point we were travelling back in time almost and we were no longer seen as a big cub.
Two bob cunt, must be embarrassed like someone said above, seeing what a real Business man (Levy) has done.
One day i hope Levy will get recognition for what he's done for the club, Sugar will always be remembered for pissing in the directors bog first and pissing away our standing in the game.
I was a ticket holder and took part in all the demonstrations to get him out
Who can forget 'we want our Tottenham back '
He really was that bad
He wasn't the AntiChrist, but we're never going to put up a statue in his honour. Our ownership in the 1980s was the same kind of visionary bullshit that much of Silicon Valley runs on. Claimed they could see the future, started moving really early on a whole bunch of ideas that other clubs took in the PL-era and made their fortunes with.
Unfortunately, the trick in business is to see the future, but also be able to execute things at the correct time, so they are profitable. They didn't, and nearly took the club down with them as a result. It's been a long, hard road back to reaching this position in English football. The hardest few steps are the ones we're doing right now.

I was there too mate, I was just a kid but did my duty outside of his house and the Courts.
You need a brake and an accelerator to navigate any journey, under Scholar and Bobroff we had two accelerators. But everything he did was truly visionary and if he applied a touch more caution we would have been well placed to be Englands top club, I'm talking about off the field here, gut feeling was that his plans were just this rather than making a quick buck and running off into the sunset, as time has shown that all PL clubs have become the vision he had for Tottenham back then. However, we will never know whether he would have run off into the hills with his pockets bulging for a quick profit or if he was attempting to build something for the long-term.
And a wank
Classy as usual! Not!!
Except no other businessman with the wherewithal to buy us and to renogiate and underwrite that debt renogiation, except Robert Maxwell (and how catastrophic would that have been) was prepared to do it.
Like I said, he’s an abrasive cunt, I don’t like him much but I do t really give a fuck about his persona, and his knowledge of football was limited, but he took over a mess, dealt with that fucking bullshiting cunt Venables, and at least made sure we didn’t become one of the many decent size clubs - SheffW, Forest, Leeds etc - that went down the toilet.
He did a decent interim job improving the stadium. I didn’t disagree with the logic of some of his managerial choices, but none of them really paid off. He could have done things better but could have done things a shitload worse. And the club he handed over was in good financial shape.
And he was right about Wenger, he was a fucking game changing appointment for Woolwich and PL football in general.
Under him we were basically everything West Ham are now
No Spurs Chairman should EVER lick the arse of your biggest rival, under no circumstances EVER. Even more so given the utter crap that he gave us, he was so in awe of them he thought the answer was The Man in a Raincoat, what an utter cunt. Never has there been a Chairman so disconnected from its fans. As I said he rammed this down our throats almost on a weekly basis with his humiliating take on football, all so that he got the headlines and improved his public profile while making us a laughing stock. But he loved Woolwich and publicly told us all how much often.
Any Stadium redevelopment was forced on him because of the Taylor report, if it were down to him it would have remained the same.
The game has grown year over year over year since the birth of the PL, the only clubs to have fallen foul have been from owners who were criminal and those that overspent, the latter would have been an impossibility to have occurred, we all know that. We're no different than Everton, trod water for 20yrs or so until now.
To be fair he had planning in place to redevelop the East Stand ENIC pulled the plug on that...... and not sure he'd ever have thought about taking us to Straford.....
