Can someone explain why fans think flying a banner will do anything other than add to the pile of reasons for rivals and media to take the piss? It just sounds so incredibly sad and pointless.
They’d be better off dropping a load of tins of levy special head wax onto the pitch

Levy isn't the main problem.

Joe Lewis is.
People keep talking about Lewis. Lewis has nothing to do with running the club. Tavistock are just a major shareholder of ENIC. ENIC is owned by Levy, and ENIC owns Spurs. It's that simple.

IIRC, the only way Lewis injects capital into the club, is if Levy sells him his majority share ownership of the club. And neither have much interest in doing that.

Yes, technically Joe Lewis is the owner of Tottenham, albeit owning the company that owns the company that owns Spurs.

Does anyone have any knowledge as to why we agreed to do the documentary?

Did we believe our own hype and feel like we would have success, even though we have been on the decline for around two years now? Or was it a money thing or something to do with getting friendly with Amazon for our stadium name?

Seems bizarre that a club which is regularly known for coming up short and with no trophies in the last 12 years would actively take part in something like this.
With Amazon's aspirations with football and sports coverage, and the club's increasing US affiliations, it's possible that both the club and Bezos are looking at future deals... Such as stadium naming, sponsorship, or maybe even ownership.

If I remember rightly, Levy owns ~1/3 of ENIC and Lewis (through Tavistock) owns the rest.

Ownership from the states is the most likely scenario, with us being the main Tennant of a NFL stadium it perfectly suits those from across the pond to push the Superbowl theme.

ENIC International Limited, currently holds 85.55% of the total issued share capital of English Premier League club, Tottenham Hotspur. Club chairman Daniel Levy (businessman) and his family own 29.4% of the share capital of ENIC International Limited, while Lewis owns 70.6%.

That near 30% is probably enough for a controlling stake?

This whole season has felt like it's been scripted by someone who fucking hates us. So pleased it's all been captured for prosperity. ??‍♂️
