Define your proper tax, that will not harm businesses or the people which will raise all this cash you promise. You mentioned Amazon, are you saying a 10% revenue tax on digital firms over a certain size, for example?

Dan is well placed to validate if you've actually got a good "proper tax" idea.

My theory is that the new board wanted Frank and Levy was more pro Ange. Hence why his sacking was signed the board and not the usual COYS Daniel.

He'd already lost control of the day to day at that point. It has been announced now after a transition period and Levy helping in the window.

I can see an argument for D, depends on expectations and how much credit you award Levy for building the best ever team and bringing in Bale, Kane and Son.

I used a scale of UK school exams F is a fail. A* is highest possible grade.

A*, A, B, C, D, E, F.

Not a community owned club, but it's still a key pillar of any football team and a stated objective of Tottenham Hotspur to work with and represent the community that surrounds it, whether that be getting locals to games, supporting local charities and hospices or engaging with international fans.

3) Community (The whole point of a Club): C

+ Strong links & development to the local area, jobs, houses, schools and infrastructure. Maintained Charitable outreach. Strengthened international presence.
- Massive ticket £ rises, priced out fans, European Super League flirt, lack of communication.

2) Sporting performance (On the pitch): C

Grew to consistent European places, raised our floor, but never pushed towards our ceiling. 2 trophies, kept hold of our best players, but failed to move on from our underperforming ones. Improved academy and player purchases initially, but then stalled.

It's already a planned for autumn 2026, however annoyingly they made they still have it starting I'm September instead of November. 21 Sep 2025 to 6 Oct 2026. It does scrap the one straight after deadline day however.

Prefer Fenerbahçe over Bayer. He'll have the 2nd best squad in Turkey, can play his football to dominate and take on Gala. Plus huge authentic fan base that will buy in.

Leverkusen have been gutted and left an average squad, only have 10 fans which just experienced winning the double unbeaten.
