I used to feel that way too hoping and believing we would one day see us become champions, but now I don't bother about it instead I just have fun at the clubs expense by making funny comments about them this gets through the boredem of seeing the club as regular flops.

Wouldn't be a risk if Mourinho just dropped him.
I dont really care when he goes as between lo celso and dele were fine in that position but what does irritate me is him playing when his form is atrocious
I dont hate him for running down his deal but I would like players performing badly to be dropped.
Depending on your view as a fan we are stuck between the type of owners you see at some clubs like Portsmouth, Leeds or even currently west ham with the stick they are receiving, or you get the type of owners that city or Chelsea have where their ambition and drive is backed up with hard currency.
For us as a club to scoop up the big prizes we probably do need owners like the latter but unless ENIC decide to sell that won't happen, and so we continue to tread the careful path of what if and nearly.
You gotta admit people are over sensitive to any criticism of levy or ENIC. Most fans couldn't give a crap what you say about their owners. Ours get really grumpy & moody by it. It does feel like some support enic & levy more strongly than the actual team.
Wasn't that Levys bonus? It's a significant amount of money like you say. So should have been spent on the team.Yeah fuck €5m, I don't even get out of bed for €5,000,000, paltry FIVE MILLION EUROS...
I remember when I won €5m on the euromillions, but I didn't bother claiming it, just thought fuck it I'll move on instead, much better off for it...
Fucking chump change isn't it...
Or you know, they're just not spoilt brats... The criticism of them is so pathetic, oh boohoo spend more money, buy me a trophy blah blah blah...
Tottenham fans are spoilt brats. Yeah, no flaw in that logic hmmm. Spoilt.
I think you are spoilt brats. Everyone must agree with us or I get moody & start attacking people. Then tell the world how much of a better fan I am.
Why shouldn't he get a bonus? That money is there because he did his job well, I'm pretty sure if we'd made a loss he wouldn't have gotten it.
Should Harry Kane give back his goal bonuses because that money could be spent on how players? Would you turn down a bonus from work because the money could go on hiring new staff?
Because every million is vital like you say. Rather it spent on the team.
So being a Tottenham fan means that someone can't be a spoilt brat? I'll remember that excuse for when it's handy...
What else does the Spurs fan card absolve you of?
They does appear to be many who have fallen for the Jedi mind tricks levy style who like him do not possess any ambition for the club or very little at the least, and are happy to hear that the tills are ringing loudly whilst the employee who polishes the trophies for the club is reduced to part time.
Be a crap 1 wouldn't it. A very tame version of a spoilt brat fan. guess it absolves you of the self obsessed, arrogant & judgemental "look at me everybody! I am a much better fan than them". Why can't they be more like me. Attacking other spurs fans online is the way to go.
I openly admit and have done numerous times that Levy & ENIC come with their faults though, I've never said they were the epitome of perfection but I do think they have done far more good than bad when looking after the best interests of our football club.
A top class training centre compared to the little dive we had in Chigwell, the new stadium getting a vast amount of buzz globally compared to the old place that we all loved but was ultimately holding us back, all built, developed and completed whilst we stayed the most competitive we have ever been in PL era or since the 60s league wise. We did all of that whilst only selling one senior player, Kyle Walker.
To do these things and end up with what will probably be close to around £400m retained profit collectively at the club is a huge achievement that allows us to now organically go to the next levels, hence the shift from hiring the likes of Jol to someone like Mourinho. We just had to/ have to be patient it's the hardest step doing what we've been trying to do, I mean how long did Man City have their new owners in charge until they started winning the league and how long has it taken Liverpool to get their hands on the PL trophy? Just a little patience as the funds are seriously starting to stack up for us now which means a higher calibre we can work with.

Good post & I agree with a lot. But that Mike guy made my point. Look how over sensitive people get when it comes to ENIC/Levy. I only just typed that post & Not long after he came wading in all hurt & on the attack. He replied to me first. They can't help themselves.
Where as you made good points without being angry & moody. & also with good reasoned argument.

Ok, we can just agree to disagree here, of course I'd rather we spent more, didn't take ages over transfers, won more trophies etc, but I'm willing to accept that there's a good reason for all these things being as they are, a reason that isn't just a case of Jevy/Enic being cunts with a nefarious scheme to hold us down.
As far as wanting a rich sugar daddy to take us over and spend our way to glory, I'm pretty sure 91 other clubs in the leagues would like that too, we can't all win the 3 domestic trophies though.
But surely a bonus getting paid to the guy who makes all of these decisions, from players signed to help us get to finals, semis and European qualification, through to commercial increases of massive proportions, stadium influence and a massive rise in revenue seen is in theory seeing that money getting invested into the team. It's the non footballing side of the team yes but nobody has organically built a club from where we were to where we are now in football in the 20 years they have been in charge.
He got his one off project bonus for delivering a stadium 20 years in the making. It was a £6m bonus, £3m of which he usually gets so a further £3m for a 20 year project amounting to what £150k per year? I'm pretty sure some people don't actually think the work he does for the football club warrants any money. He gets paid well but he also leaves us looking like one of the healthiest clubs in world football so I guess it's all about ones perspective on the matter.
It's less over sensitive, more boredom of hearing grown men stomp their feet and moan because football club hasn't won enough shiny trophies for them.
Same thing time and again, don't win a game, Levy's fault, Manager flogs Kane into the ground until he gets injured, fucking Levy, Eriksen's form goes to shit, Enic are cunts...
But it really takes the cake when some moron claims that Poch rocketed us up from 5th to 4th in the food chain basically, but Enic taking us from 12/13/14th (take your pick really, all equally shit) to challenging the top 4 is not worthy of any praise.
JT that's because as you say we're fans and your an idiot drama queen ... can you spot the difference?
So you don't really believe that just because Spurs haven't won much that no-one that supports Spurs can act like a spoilt brat then? Good, because it was a pretty weak argument...
I take it you're suggesting I'm arrogant here, which is hilarious, because you're the one that seems to feel that we have some kind of divine right to win trophies, and the people who own the club should just fuck off because they haven't delivered them to you.
