PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Indeed, so did Pep, but neither of them suggested that the rebuild should have begun immediately after the treble. Pep said that he thought the squad had another season left in them ie the 2024-25 season but it hadn't. But the effect of numerous injuries in causing our "disastrous" fall from first to third has never really been assessed. Timing is vital in rebuilds.

And it’s an art, not a science.

very much so, for someone with 25 years under their belt to just walk out the door with zero transition period or handover and for them to go business as usual, nothing to see here is mind boggling.

I don’t think it relates to city. Changes within the family etc on the one hand it makes sense to have him manage the transfer window and then go soon after tho I assume they have a football / sporting director. However on the other hand it’s the lack of transition and looks like they have a CEO and no new Chairman so perhaps it is related to city if so would assume that findings have been given to clubs and will be published within days to prevent leaks would also make sense to do it early next week for press to die down before fixtures return at the weekend

Doubt Levy will go quietly regardless of verdict. He’s free to say what he wants now and not worry about the politics.

He has zero credibility after being essentially sacked. Most Spurs fans regard him as a snake never mind rival fans. Ignore what his sycophantic pals in the media say, I am so pleased we stitched him up over the Savinho deal,

One opinion does not a game, set and match make.

Even if it's probably right. But you can't deny the timing is odd. A few weeks ago he was lording it over Neville in his chairman's role. Thursday? International break? It does stink of a quick exit out the back door for some reason ....

He's been pushed out by the majority owner - it is a domestic Spurs conflict. Nothing to do with City.

I’m with you on this. If he has dragged the Lewis’s family name through the mud on this case. And they’ve had a slight whiff of the outcome. And ts only understandable that they’d want him out
And he definitely won’t be missed by City

Hard to damage the reputation of convicted criminal Joe Lewis!

Levy going so abruptly almost certainly has to be good news for City.

Never got the whole ‘great negotiator’ thing.

I’ve dealt with loads of amazing negotiators in my adult life. Genuinely incredible at it. Far better than I’d ever be. And the one thing they all had in common was a flexibility of approach.

Levy was a one trick pony as far as I could see.

Great teams aren’t universally built on value for money. He should have taken more risks. And be seen to be taking more risks.

Spurs should be a far bigger force than they are, given their fan base, location and stadium.

Levy being such a small time **** will have contributed to that.

He has held them back imo.

Several club chairmen refuse to negotiate with Levy according to the Torygraph. They say that if he doesn’t get what he wants he keeps pestering you in the vain hope you’ll change your mind and they’d rather not open themselves up to his brand of harassment by entering negotiations with him.
He has also twice given gentlemen’s agreements to players and subsequently reneged on them: Modric and Kane.
So hardly a great negotiator.

Yeah, negotiators like Levy lose credibility by osmosis.

Perhaps he should have answered the phone to City, Karma is so sweet.
 
Spurs recently appointed a new DoF and a new CEO, ex Arsenal no less. The Lewis family are reported to have planned a new broom for some time. They now have a new non-exec chairman. With the new manager, it’s a complete overhaul, moving from financial focus to glory seeking. I suspect they’ll be more competitive from now on and move right up the league. That won’t bother us as they always beat us anyway.
