Om vores rivaler VII

Fra en artikel i The Sunday Times, om vores gode ven, Daniel Levy. En rigtig guttermand!

It’s strictly business as far as Levy is concerned.

He may be unpopular, but Spurs have profited under their astute chairman who remains determined to hang onto his prize asset.

When Daniel Levy arrived at Tottenham Hotspur after Alan Sugar’s sale of a controlling shareholding, the club’s value was £60m. Some 13 years later, Tottenham’s reticent, intractable chairman stands at the point of completing the £80m-plus sale of just one player.

Listen to some White Hart Lane regulars discuss Levy and you’d be forgiven for mistaking the 51-year-old Cambridge graduate for the devil incarnate. Talk to those who have had the pleasure of negotiating with him and they may tell you that it would have been easier to deal with Beelzebub himself. The man is not popular, and selling Gareth Bale to Real Madrid towards the end of a summer in which Tottenham supporters had been repeatedly assured that the Premier League’s player of the year would be staying is not going to improve any opinion polls. What cannot be questioned, though, is that the club have grown far stronger under Levy.

Levy came to Tottenham as the managing director of ENIC, an investment group majority owned by the expat billionaire Joe Lewis. Spurs were en route to 12th place in the Premier League, a fifth straight season in which their finishing position required double digits. In six of their past eight campaigns Tottenham have ended fifth or higher, and opposition managers now mention them as title contenders.

Kunne det tænkes, at der er blevet pillet ved diagnosen, så man har en grund til at forhøje koncentrationen af hæmoglobin ;)

Jeg tænkte også om det kunne være en undskyldning for at dope ham, lige som med Messi ;-)

Ork nej! FIFA har jo fastslået, at der bestemt ikke er doping i fodbold... ;-)

Den her er ikke god: www.marca.com/2013/08/05/en/football/spa...ball/1375719722.html og as.com/diarioas/2013/08/05/english/1375720973_093592.html

Så er Arsenal interesserede i selveste Ciprian Marica, i hvert fald hvis man skal tro hans agent! Det er sådan en, der balancerer lige på kanten af 'Sjov og spas'-tråden.

Reyes har angiveligt pådraget sig en korsbåndsskade og er derfor eftersigende ude af spil de næste to måneders tid. Synd for ham og Sevilla-holdet.

Haha, Tottenham truet af Al Qaeda (ifølge Sportwitness)

Ahmed Al Dossari: "Unscrupulous merchants. Jews who will be punished for their greed by the wrath of God and by the sound of arms."

Nøj, hvor kan jeg ikke vente!
