Oooops, let's see if Mbappe appoints Paratici and Conte like all the recent talk has suggested would happen
Hopefully Mbappe really wants to play with Salah, mane, De Bruyne and Foden!
Maybe VVD as well.
Like he’s playing fantasy football!!
Just imagine that in the news tomorrow…...
The good thing is I Can’t see Antonio being anybodys dugout bitch tbh.
I am hoping that we end up in a scenario where Qatar starts winding down their investing in PSG post world cup. Winning a CL before the Qatar world cup was always the end goal of PSG and that mission failed.
Imagine if they start winding down their investing and have just sold Mbappe a pig in lipstick.
What has football come too
no player should be bigger then the club
may aswell change the name to mbappe fc
Even Messi didn’t have this power at Barca. Makes you wonder what the new manager must think, Zidane gets to be Mbappe’s bitch.
Could you even imagine Conte going to a place where the players tell him what to do. I can’t.
I completely agree that the 'easy league' thing is a double-edged sword. Regardless, these expectations have been thrust upon them - by their circumstances and their owners - whether anyone else associated with them likes it or not
Successful?
Nothing blinkered about it; I'm just presenting facts and timelines to you. You on the otherhand are all too evidently tunnel-visioned in your pursuit of "must blame Levy" that you're just hopping from one half-baked, reactionary take to the next.
You just effectively accused us of never making CL before.
Would be keen to know more about this period if you can point me in the right direction .....?
He pretty much did tbh. Think back to all the "Messi wants" stories that used to come out......
Successful?
Poch was extremely successful with the resources he was given. Massively overachieved, nobody would've dreamed Spurs would make a CL final when he took over, or get nearly 90 points, or be top 4 comfortably almost every season either.
I don't blame him for lack of trophies. He was never given the squad depth to focus on league & domestic concerns, one competition had to be targeted, which dropped our odds of winning a EL or Carabao/FA cup significantly.

i simply pointed out that as per your view Levy prefers a a DOF
Our most successful seasons as I type we did not have one .
I actually am pro the idea of a DOF who stays in place for a long time so the club has stability and continuity , shame your hero keeps misplacing them.
In fact in 22 years he has only managed to have a DOF for 8 years , not great execution of his own preferred strategy wouldn’t you say

Top talent-spotter Broomfield left Spurs on amicable terms following Redknapp’s shock axing. He was instrumental in setting up the signings of defender Jan Vertonghen, midfielder Moussa Dembele and goalkeeper Hugo Lloris before his White Hart Lane departure
Sorry fella.....'Boo Levy then work backwards' just blew up in your face.
This guy
I love him but I reckon Poch goes to bed every night with Can't Smile Without You playing as he watches back highlights of the 16/17 season.
What Cobblers I can dislike Levy and love Spurs , that is not cognitive dissonance . You can like your job and dislike a colleague or a boss.
Conversely someone can love Levy and think he is doing a good job, without being a sycophant and approve of everything he does
I appreciate the fact you knew you were talking rubbish so apologised even before you said it
Kindly don’t accuse me of not wanting Spurs to win or succeed again, which is effectively what your message implies. It’s a snidely comment that I thought about not responding to.
i never bought in to the you work for Levy narrative , just cos you vigorously defend him, I simply disagree with you
