Football Daily | From Wembley 2008 and Bilbao 2025 to AVB and Rivaldo: Levy’s highs and lows

During Tottenham matches in recent and not-so-recent years, the name of Dr Tottenham was often on fans’ lips. Rarely in complimentary terms. “I don’t care about [Dr Tottenham], he don’t care about me, all I care about is [Dejan] Kulusevski,” was one such song. After Thursday’s yellow-ticker trembler, all those fans need worry about is when Kulusevki’s knee-knack allows him to return to Spurs’ teams. Did Levy jump or was he pushed? The suggestion from Big Website is the latter, the executive-chairman, Levy’s job title, shunted for a fresh suit structure.

All I’m focused on is making sure that I do my best for you” – England and Bayern Munich midfielder Georgia Stanway on … her fledgling career as a tattoo artist in this wide-ranging interview with Donald McRae. The Frauen Bundesliga campaign begins on Saturday.It does affect the rhythm. If we want tempo in the game and we cannot find the ball boy, the ball girl or the ball itself, then of course the tempo drops. There must be training. I am serious. It is a problem, because we cannot waste half a minute here and there” – Norway head coach Stale Solbakken solves the mystery of why a hugely talented side have so far failed to qualify for a tournament under his watch: the ball boys and girls have not been pacy enough.“Actually West Ham actually have 12 supporters groups, not 11 (Thursday’s FD letters). Members of this additional group range from those with a casual interest in the team to others (like me) who’ve followed them for over 50 years through the good times (yes, there have been a few) and bad (plenty). Our common denominator is that we haven’t joined any of the formal supporters groups, but like every other club this is the biggest, most diverse collection of fans, we just don’t have a name or organisational structure. Not sure what this says about us or the supporters groups.
