The thing is I can’t see a scenario where he leaves in the near future.

And that’s the point..protest however you want but him and his family own 25% of a 3-4 billion pound business. He’s not going to walk away from it! Only group that can push it are the Lewis family

Only way he feels actual pressure from the shareholders is if people stop buying tickets.

Tickets are chicken feed in the scheme of things... Sustained boycotts would damage the product, image... But how many shots would he actually give...

He is damaging to the brand now however...

I’ve said this all along. Every time the rumours appear about the club being sold, there’s always the caveat of him apparently wanting guarantees that he’ll be kept on as Chairman.

But then the Lewis family aren’t likely to do anything either since he’s taken the club in to the top ten richest clubs in the world and they’re probably over the moon with that.

At the moment, personally, I’d like him to agree to a fan “town hall” where there are no pre-approved questions.

I think you’d need participants to sign some kind of code of conduct to try and keep a lid on people kicking off to try and convince him to do it but I’d love to see him get put on the spot and called out on his bullshit.

There is clearly more chance of me playing up front in the Europa League final but I can still dream .. heh

That would get very spicy very quickly. I would want a live stream in to watch

Yes, he's a control freak who would never put himself in that situation.

Its a shame that levy is only 63 years old. We could have to deal with him for 20 more years

LEVY OUT! Agree with the sentiment of the protests being a bit pointless. He does in all practicality own the club. Best we could hope for is a takeover, but even then he wants to remain in charge. Could you imagine being a potential buyer but having to agree to keep this idiot in charge after paying billions? Yeah, not gonna happen.

I think the problem is that the kind of person who would invest massive funds in a club these days wouldn't see Levy as an idiot. He checks all the boxes for a modern football chairman except performance on the pitch. Not saying football success isn't important to these guys, but only so far as it affects revenue.

I suppose, it's a case of we want Levy out, but who or what do we want instead ? A billionaire from the far east ? A business giant from the states ? Michael Mcintyre ?
Actually thats a great call....even if we're shite we could still have a laugh.
We need a cross between Levy and Abramovic but without the war criminal connections.

He's going nowhere is he ? We could well be putting up with him for the next 20 years....or more.

I'm not usually all that interested in the money side of things, but on the View from the Lane podcast last week there was a football finance guy who was pretty eye-opening. He more or less said that we actually don't have as much in terms of liquid assets as might be expected. Basically though Levy hasn't bought many big money players, we haven't sold that many either--from a finance as well as football standpoint, Kane was a one off--so that with the stadium debt makes for a bit of a cash issue.

End result is that even though the club is in a good place with PSR and other measures of health we're moving down the wage ladder, therefore the league table, and nothing is going to change in the short term without some transformative manager like Poch.

Or, of course, as you say, LEvy getting an offer he can't refuse from some private equity bloodsuckers or guys who torture and murder journalists.
