He seems to have done alright out of his time there, according to the BBC:
The 63-year-old was the Premier League’s longest-serving chairman and earned an estimated £50m-plus during his time in charge

Pochettino seemed to have run his race at Spurs. While he did do a pretty good job , I think that was his limit. The club’s need/desire for a trophy was always going to be not something Poch would achieve.
Mou was always going to be a short term hire. As were people like Conte. Great coaches but not ones who the owners or the fanbase will tolerate too long.
Ironically , they got the trophy with probably the worst manager of the lot in Ange. But that says rather about how the Europa is devalued now.

ENIC forced out Sugar in the early 2000s. My experience of Spurs up to then had been of them being not much different than how people view West Ham now, a club living off decades old success
This move is interesting though with it coming from Tavistock itself. Lewis is old and has been beset by legal issues the last few years and so this looks like a succession like generational shift with the kids trying to find ways to exert their newly found influence.

Yeah I remember Klinsmann but the club was mediocre in the 90s I think they were relegation threatened once or twice. West Ham is a very good comparison.
I am sure I’ve seen several clubs being taken over and they always suggest around 1bn.
£1.2bn for players, FFP and PSR say hello

Surely purely football (bluetick) would check their sources immaculately.
I tell you what, if a consortium were actually offering 3.3b but reserving 1.2b for players, Levy and Lewis family are going to say we want a big chunk of that ‘player budget’ and hold out for 4b.

Now we’ve won our game this weekend we know where that focus shifts.
I didn’t watch the match, so I lack the context here. Why would they do that? I thought things were going well for them, at least compared to their PL performance last season.

I’d sell them immediately.
No Spurs player has the right to act like they know best. Flakiest bunch of flakes that ever flaked.

Everything about yesterday was oddly negative given their decent start under him. The performance, the fan reaction to it, and now the player reaction to Frank.

They all feel that they are a bigger and better club than their results show, billy big bollocks including their fans
Frank probably tells them to stay on the pitch and go with the rest of the team to the fans end, very German-style. The players obviously tell him to f*ck off. 
I know it is exactly why talkback radio exists, but the number of Spurs I have heard calling in and going ballistic at Frank is gold.
