I would say about Levy though, it’s interesting. Maybe he’s been forced out or perhaps he set himself some targets, achieved them and left. 

Spurs have great matchday revenue. They have a good squad and a respected manager. They have new facilities which they own. And they’ve finally won a trophy to open their recent times account.

And Levy was also playing with his own coin, having his own money invested in the club  too. That makes it a little more real than simply a salaried role. 

Perhaps he had done what he set out to do and now wants to enjoy it? I’d be surprised, but it’s possible. I don’t know much about his replacement. 

Succession planning has been a Brighton trademark, but they’re high turnover. A failure at Manchester Red, but their owners have remained and only now is there a DoF and some heft to that area of the club. And Arne Slot is currently seen as a great succession achievement. We’ll have to wait on Salah’s retirement and post Trent life to be sure, but it’s been so far so good. 

And there’s a bit of worry at YF too. Rob was worried about the young Fever Elite…it’s Simon right from this forum? He’s been getting to meetings and things? What’s the next iteration of the pod? Are the kids all right? 

The Phoenix it’s fair to say at the moment aren’t confident looking 5 years ahead, as the NKotB in Auckland arrives and now this unforeseen FIFA benevolence. Turbulence in Aussie has been easier to manage than at home. 

I wonder what Domey is confident of achieving in those 5 years. I’m hoping the women’s scudetto this season! They’ve had a big window. But beyond that I wonder what the picture is? Harder to see with the broadcast deals and the like of course. Any way.
