Charlie StebbingsHOST
11:12
Yeah.
Charlie MethvenHOST
11:13
But I am expecting very significant underperformance, right? And I've been very clear about that throughout, which is that I think there's been a fundamental misdiagnosis of Spurs' problem and of the ways in which Daniel Levy was suboptimal as a football department leader.
Charlie MethvenHOST
11:30
Forgetting the business side because everyone accepts that he was outstanding on the business side.
Charlie MethvenHOST
11:34
So the misdiagnosis is, by the fans, we didn't spend enough.
Charlie MethvenHOST
11:44
Might as well give up and go back home because they're spending half as much as Spurs ever did.
Charlie MethvenHOST
11:49
And yet they're both playing European football at the top of the Premier League, right? So if Spurs had had a perfect football machine, would it have been optimal for a bit more juice to be put into that machine to elevate them from being fifth best to second best, to being top? Maybe.
Charlie MethvenHOST
12:07
But if you've got a machine that's not working... you can stick as much petrol into that as possible, doesn't mean it's going to start working, right? So the misdiagnosis was thinking that Daniel Levy's problem was that he wasn't spending enough.
Charlie MethvenHOST
12:21
The real problem was, is that he himself was his own blocker within his football department, right? Which is that because he was heavily involved in every aspect of the club, it meant obviously he could not be fully focused on the football side.
AshleyHOST
42:31
And that was being kind because, you know, again, that was the second time that he was relegated in a row.
AshleyHOST
42:36
And, you know, but the numbers that they threw out, And look, I know that Daniel Levy was there for a while.
AshleyHOST
42:43
He's since left.
AshleyHOST
42:44
And, you know, a little bit like Mike Ashley, he held the purse strings really tight to the chest and it gave them the opportunity once he left to go then spend the money.
AshleyHOST
46:42
okay, surprisingly.
AshleyHOST
46:43
You know, which baffles.
AshleyHOST
46:44
But, I mean, a lot of that comes from, again, Daniel Levy's careful spending.
AshleyHOST
46:48
A lot of that comes from the fact that they're bringing in revenue outside of the football and the new stadium itself.
JohnnyHOST
0:14
Well, we'll get into that in a minute.
JohnnyHOST
0:16
The inevitable, Daniel Levy still lurking around.
JohnnyHOST
0:22

JohnnyHOST
0:51
Trying to grow the channel.
JohnnyHOST
1:17
Home, Away, and obviously those fantastic retro kits.
JohnnyHOST
1:22
So guys, I mean, look, you go away, and just when you think, like I said, nothing could possibly happen, but this is Spurs, isn't it? There's a huge amount going on, and some of it raises really sort of interesting questions about where the club is headed.
JohnnyHOST
1:38
We now know more about the £27 million package connected to Daniel Levy's removal last year.
JohnnyHOST
1:45
£27 million to get him out the door.
Billie TPANELIST
41:35
I just wondered, H, what your sort of perspective is on the sort of the big picture stuff surrounding De Zerbi and Tottenham because as Tottenham fans, and I know you Man United fans are similar to us in the moment, we're very used to being angry at our owners.
Billie TPANELIST
41:46
Um, spent a lot of the last 25 years, particularly in this Daniel Levy era, um, you know, a lot of the sort of fan anger has been directed at owners.
Billie TPANELIST
41:53
But obviously, as you mentioned before, this summer transfer window has been like one we've never really experienced as Spurs fans and it seems like, you know, for all intents and purposes, they've essentially gone out and given De Zerbi everything that they, that he wanted.
Billie TPANELIST
42:06
And certainly we've never seen anything like it before in terms of a manager being backed in this way in Tottenham.
Kevin DayHOST
27:39
He had to click, obviously.
Kevin DayHOST
27:42
Now, I don't know, Kieran, how Daniel Levy took it
Kieran MaguireHOST
27:46
when
Kevin DayHOST
27:46
he was – there's no other word for it, ousted as chairman.
George SessionsPANELIST
43:01
i mean
Marcus BucklandHOST
43:02
deserve he does he does contradict himself but i put it down to the fact that it's his second language and he's all over the place but you i'd never understand what he's saying i still believe in him um listen a quick word about daniel levy who has apparently, our man's been in the news today, Tom Barkley has revealed that he's been given a £27 million payoff.
Marcus BucklandHOST
43:26
Now, apparently he'd earned £61 million prior to that, so you add £61 to £27, and Daniel Levy is £88 million better off for his time at Spurs, which almost, I think, to the pound, equals what Harry Kane cost when he was sold to Bayern Munich yesterday.
Marcus BucklandHOST
43:42
and when he wrote that article, Tom left a little note with us and says, have Spurs improved in his absence? Well, first of all, I mean, that sort of money, I don't know, what are we, how are we meant to respond to news like that apparently only once before has there been a higher payoff and that was the 35 million paid to marina granos sky at chelsea when i keep wanting to call them um clear water i was a clear lake took over it wasn't the supermarket chain anyway she got 35 million he's got 27 million what do we have to say about that guys

Tom AllnuttPANELIST
47:19
And it will take time, not just on the pitch, but off the pitch as well.
Marcus BucklandHOST
47:24
George, do you wish to defend, condemn, say anything about Levy? £27 million, it suddenly makes the money we spent on Savio and that lot look reasonable, if he's worth £27 million.
George SessionsPANELIST
47:34
I was thinking, how old is Daniel Levy? Is he kind of like 59? Is he 60? I'm not sure.
AbbiPANELIST
14:05
Can I give you my two pence on this situation? Because obviously...
AbbiPANELIST
14:10
My own club have done many protests over the last couple of years with Enoch and Daniel Levy, etc.
AbbiPANELIST
14:16
And I personally feel like the sponsorship thing that Manchester United are doing, like the fans sending emails and stuff, I personally think it's a waste of energy.
AbbiPANELIST
14:23
I actually discussed this on Live at Five yesterday.

8 MINS LATER

RobbiePANELIST
22:17
Or when the big protests are going on, like what was going on at West Ham and that, those owners, they just ignored it.
AbbiPANELIST
22:23
I'll give you an example.
AbbiPANELIST
22:25
Every time, obviously towards the end of when Daniel Levy was there, I mean, look, Enoch is still there and he is an employee of Enoch, but he was like the face of it.
AbbiPANELIST
22:31
The same way that I guess Sir Jim Ratcliffe has kind of become the face of the Glazers in that sense.
JackHOST
25:34
I'm not trying to claim to be some sort of ITK or anything.
PhilGUEST
25:38
Yeah, so, I mean, again, just it was a very unnecessary thing that we had foisted on us as fans and, you know, another of Daniel Levy's poor decisions, I think.
JackHOST
25:48
Poor decisions from Daniel
PhilGUEST
25:50
Levy.
Adam MonkGUEST
36:09
But that was a thing that was maybe going to happen.
Adam MonkGUEST
36:11
Harry Kane, again, I know that there was an agent involved in that, but City had a fixed price for him, right? And Daniel Levy wanted more.
Adam MonkGUEST
36:18
Cheeky's done it numerous times.
Adam MonkGUEST
36:20
Has Fianna at any point so far actually pulled out a deal or has he got every bloody one he wants over the line? Like he's so aggressive and it is quite, refreshing just as a football fan I like it it's exciting isn't it it's a bit mental
Sean ButlerHOST
3:18
We also have £120 million of investment that we haven't actually spoken too much about on this channel since it happened.
Sean ButlerHOST
3:25
And at the same time, We have a news article out regarding in the last couple of days regarding Daniel Levy's exit liquidity.
Sean ButlerHOST
3:33
How much did he get paid? And also the struggles for him to actually finalize this sale and claims of a plane that he wants in compensation for delays or interest on the debt.
Sean ButlerHOST
3:44
And we've got some conspiracy.

16 MINS LATER

Sean ButlerHOST
20:14
We haven't heard of it yet, unless he was talking about AIA, in which case it was always known maybe this one, with regards to this, is the one that he was talking about.
Sean ButlerHOST
20:22
And to your point, it doesn't seem like it's a significantly huge sponsor.
Sean ButlerHOST
20:27
Connor, let me move to the crux of what I really wanted to speak to you about today, which is The Daniel Levy situation, right? So there was this big story that came out from Bloomberg a couple of days ago that essentially said that he's made 27 million quid in his exit strategy.
Sean ButlerHOST
20:43
However, that's separate to him selling his stake.
