Daniel Levy - megalomaniac in charge of Spuds.

Tight as a duck's arse when it come to signing players and negotiating contracts.

Knows more about football than the people he employs.

Remind you of anybody?


Levy is a glorified CEO at least Ellis owned the club

Ellis owned a third of the club.

He’d have punted him to Pescara or Empoli right after the Euro’s for £6m.
