I do not think anyone of us who love and understand this club owe ENIC / Levy any gratitude whatsoever. Specific to the board and Levy they have become more wealthy than most of us will ever be. While overall seeing the club lurch from one 5 year plan to another. Delivering one league cup and some decent, but ultimately unsuccessful cup runs. In the time they have owned us Wigan could be argued to have won more. Fucking Leicester certainly have. Blackburn, Boro, Swansea and Birmingham have won as much as Spurs have in the time ENIC have owned us.No, the stadium makes the club rich. If the ownership won’t leverage that to provide the team and fans with the resources they deserve, that isn’t the stadium’s fault.
We will be very grateful for Daniel Levy’s stadium when Daniel Levy is no longer the chairman.
They get far too much credit for building that stadium. Yes we know it's great but many nice stadiums have been built all around the world. It's not as if another owner couldn't have done the same.I do not think anyone of us who love and understand this club owe ENIC / Levy any gratitude whatsoever.

What they did for the stadium is only what a majority of Premier League clubs have done over the same 20 year period. That it took ENIC 17 years to build a stadium is not to their credit.
In fact, whatever these clowns have done for us has been exceeded by many other owners over the same period.
And for what it’s worth. The Stadium in particular is a laughable defence shield. I much preferred Wembley. Sure it was a ball ache to get to. Taking hours each way, but the football was good and the team was good and that makes all the difference. Losing at home to shite. Time and again is not saved by a pint of neck oil.
And by the way. Where is the naming rights deal ? Would it be amiss of me to point out our parent company, the multi billion £ Tavistock group could have sponsored the stadium in the interim period for whatever they wanted to make the team competitive. That they don’t spend volumes.
It’s not that no one can afford to buy Spurs. It’s as much that ENIC can’t afford to own it. They are the problem.
I also cannot stand the conflation of the stadium construction with success on the pitch.
Levy needs to decide what the hellhe wants this team to be.
If he wants a development team why the fuck is he hiring Mourinho and Conte?
If he wants short term success why is he not backing them and demanding they develop young players
Out of interest who is defending them?Owners are an absolute disgrace to this football club and anybody defending them can fuck right off as far as I am concerned.
Got people now turning against one of the best managers in world football to defend that bald greedy cunt running our club into the ground for his own ego projects.
It doesn't matter how many fucking managers we hire, this team is not good enough because it has been massively neglected by the ownership, anyone who thinks otherwise is being disingenuous or delusional, take your pick.
ENIC and specifically Levy are the problem, until they go, nothing changes.
You do constantly and lick up their bent failed football strategy . Fuck off and troll somewhere else.
Well I’m very happy for you to quote anything I’ve said in support of Enic/Levy.You do constantly and lick up their bent failed football strategy . Fuck off and troll somewhere else.
Nail on the head with both points. The ones who keep defending the cretin should be ashamed.The board couldn't give a fuck about success on the pitch.
I mean what do you expect from a cretin that didn't sign a player for 2 transfer windows whilst giving himself a pay rise and making himself the highest paid chairman in that period?
what do you expect from a cretin that sacked a manager less then a week before a cup final so he didn't have to pay him a bonus should we win the cup?
I despise Levy but disagree with that being the reason for tinning JoseNail on the head with both points. The ones who keep defending the cretin should be ashamed.
I’ll ask again, who is defending him?Nail on the head with both points. The ones who keep defending the cretin should be ashamed.
Read this thread and the cunts will pop up. The cunts who attack real fans for criticizing these owners. Those cunts should be ashamed.

it's painfully clear he couldn't give a single damn about what's happening on the pitch. He will hike up season tickets again and the sheep will still pay.
