It was a club that didn't waste the career of the best English player of his generation by choosing to sack any competent DOF so that Levy could ensure that he was able to meddle in football transfers.
Levy had Kane and Son in their primes and his ego was too big to let football people make football decisions. He hired Jose and Conte and felt that bringing in Rodon, Royal and Spence was the way that the club would win with them in charge. If you can't recognize the gross incompetence that has been present for every minute that Daniel Levy has been in charge of this club I do not know what more to say, but hey we have a shiny new stadium that surely makes up for the complete lack of any success on the pitch. After all isn't cool stadiums and impressive balance sheets what football is all about?

Well, I just wonder what the point of a beautiful stadium is, if you can't keep your star player? Kane obviously could be a club legend, but does that status get tarnished if he goes to another PL club and wins things there?
And why can't we compete? Why do we have enormous matchday revenue, and revenues in general that rival the other big clubs, and yet we struggle to keep pace on the pitch? That comes down to the board and Levy. The current managerial search is not that different from the time we appointed Nuno...which was a disaster. I'm admittedly more interested in what Postecoglou can bring to the table and maybe he's at least going to play an attractive style. But really....we've been absolutely rudderless for months. The Paratici situation is basically dereliction of duty to have no backup plan. The issues with Conte, while somewhat understandable given his personal situation, are a repeat of the Mourinho issue but this time ending in a terrible end to the season.
So, here we are with rumblings of significant turnover in the squad, a new manager on the cusp of taking over (allegedly) and we have no DoF and seemingly no plan for this operation. It's unbelievable that any business would allow that kind of situation to persist. But hey, they made some great real estate developments, and I'm sure that the new apartment block or whatever is going to be lovely.
