I don’t think any Spurs fan wants us to lose, but you are correct, I have got to the point where I don’t care anymore. Certainly at the moment and haven’t done for a while. Levy and ENIC have sucked the passion out of me that I had for this club. I don’t particularly look forward to the games anymore.
I’m not fussed if I miss them now, in which before, I wouldn’t miss Spurs if you paid me. I don’t even cheer loudly like before. Why ? Because the club have bought me too that stage. I’m pretty certain there’s a large percentage of Spurs fans in exactly the same boat. That’s not too say I hope we lose games just so Levy and ENIC leave, that’s ridiculous. But, I don’t have that same love or passion I had a few years ago.
I’m sick to death of letting them ruin my weekend, when the powers that be in charge don’t actually give a shit about on field matters. I refuse to be part of it and I refuse to spend my hard earned money funding those frauds.
Nuno was never the correct man in the first place, yet despite Levy’s bullshit end of season love letter about getting the attacking Spurs back and the “Spurs way “ , he goes and appoints the exact opposite of that and takes on a well known defensive counter attacking coach, after knowing full well that method failed under Jose. The managerial search was an absolute shambolic mess. He’s a lying bullshitting bald cunt!!! Fed up with it.
I won’t even be watching tonight and don’t even care. So to answer your statements, my passion for Spurs is at an all time low where I barely cheer anymore. Will that ever be reignited again? I hope so, but at this moment in time, that’s where I’m at. Just for good measure
#NunoOut #LevyOut #EnicOut
In that case - you don't have a right to celebrate any of Kane's goals either - considering you've spend the last 12 months calling him shit, a fraud and the reason we're playing poorly and Nuno's tactics are failing
That is only a problem if you hire the wrong DoF. That Paratici seems to have wanted Gattuso and Nuno as managers is quite worrying, you would expect a modern forward thinking DoF would be going for Potter, Frank, Ten Hag etc the up and coming modern attacking managers, the Foden’s and Bellingham’s of the managerial World not the Jonjo Shelvey’s of the managerial World.
You clearly didn’t read the posts above
Have another go
Well yes, but I do mean my worry from a Spurs perspective and our resident DoF, it's deeply worrying that he genuinely thought Nono was the right man for the job, it raises serious question marks over his ability to carry out the role.
A lot of what we've seen so far suggests to me that we have in fact hired the wrong DoF, seems like Rangnick or Campos would have been more in keeping with our stature and (supposed...)philosophy as a club.
Instead Levy went for the appearance of being big time and got the Juve DoF, even though a quick bit of Googling would have highlighted that Paratici's period of success there came whilst working under somebody else and once he took sole ownership of the role everything went a bit Aaron Ramsay on 200k per week...

The club that Levy built
The multifaceted sports entertainment business that Levy built.
Calling Spurs entertainment is a bit of a stretch these days...
Spurs are only one of the components. Boxing, NFL. music etc.
Actually tbf sports entertainment makes it sound more like WWE, I'd pay to see someone drop Levy with a stone cold stunner, or a chokeslam through a table, or just set the twat on fire...
If we are getting into this, then anyone who doesn't push for change at the top has absolutely no right to moan or complain if:
1. We have a disappointing transfer window that leaves the squad incomplete
2. We lose to any of our rivals, who actually focus on building a strong team. E. G. Leicester, chelsea, city, man utd, liverpool, and soon to be Newcastle
3. We are not happy with defensive tactics, after the ownership willingly hired a notoriously defensive manager
4. Ticket prices are high
5. Another 20 years of not winning a cup
There must be other examples too
I think more than a few people thought that any DoF would eventually be a sacrificial lamb for the limitations he will likely be under from ENIC.
Just wanna see Levy RKO'd outta nowhere.
Levy has hired himself a patsy
When the Lane was at its best was with reduced capacity, with just the diehard supporters. It was an amazing place to be and the team have to buzz off the good atmosphere. When I started supporting Spurs as a young kid we were not even as ‘good’ as we are now. When we qualified for the Europa again - it was a party. Now supporters expectations seem a lot higher (maybe because of the shiner stadium and CL?) yet the landscape is much harder to compete in, with 3 clubs subsidised by oil billions. Would it be so bad if the glory hunting fans did one and there was less pressure? We need to give management time to work on the team and build something again. These things go in phases. Mentally fans need a reset. And then we go again.
I remember that,last game of the season the players doing their lap of honour to the sounds of "we're all going on a European tour".
As you say our expectations are higher now. The only club in history whose fan base has been spoilt by winning fuck all
All I ask for is entertaining football. A bit of go-for-it. If we fall short, that's really not the end of the world for me. I'd rather watch youngsters with real commitment than prima donna wankers who think they don't need to try.
I've always kept my eye on their scoreboard, but I'm now thinking of going to a few more youth team matches, because there's more spirit and THFC in them than there currently is in the senior team.
That’s on the lack of research done by Levy/The board.
Honestly I think their attitude to footy is like that of a child.
They probably saw “Juventus” in big bright lights, and thought it would be enough.
The paradox of Paratici is that on the face of it, he’s brought in Gil and Romero plus PM Sarr who on the face of it any progressive coach would love to have.
Emerson is a bit of a question mark stylistically, and Gollini was worth a trial.
His taste in coaches is worrying. So far.
Yeh it’s odd. Romero, Gil and Royal seem good signings and the type you would pair with a manager looking for young players to build something.
Yet we have Gattuso and Nuno as the manager choices. It seems like this guy would get Haaland, Foden and Bellingham then put Neil Warnock in charge. Like he is wedded to old fashioned football.
