Our actions are a result of having zero strategy for our football operations. But we do spend money and this has been increasing significantly (wages and pure transfer fees) since we moved out of old WHL.

We really should drop the "tight" stuff though. The issues are all strategy, operational and decision-making.

I'm actually gutted I've renewed my season ticket. Got to be the final year now with this club if they appoint him. Fuck all point going until Levy et al fuck off.

I bet they've been turned down by all those you mention and that's why we are on to him.

Levy's clever.

I'll give him that.

He will have sold out five seasons worth of season tickets by the end of this season based on everything he has done since the summer 2019 Sessegnon, N'dombele, LoCelso, Clark window.

Who else could have done that with the style of our football under Jose, Nuno and Conte?

You're wrong.

The tipping point has been reached.

Once the frustration reaches a certain level it never goes away.

The frustration with ENIC has surfaced before but Levy has always done just about enough to sidestep it.

The frustration has now turned to anger. Every poor result will be greeted with Levy out.

Louder and louder and louder and louder.

Levy's next manager is already a dead man walking whether it's this guy or another 'project'.

It's Levy and ENIC who the consensus of supporters have had enough of.

They're fooling nobody any longer.

Unfortunately your right, and the new fella, along with the team are going to struggle because of it.

Not really. He's better in practically everything.

You wanted Slot right? Well Ange is probably a better coach. I preferred Slot to him because of age, proof of rebuilding and playing youth but Ange is good.

Have said in other posts, no doubt he's good.

You don't make it as far as he has in his career if you can't coach.

The comparison to Nuno is in the search, not the manager.

If it was him, they have already made his life x20 more difficult to start.

I was om board with Slot because he looked a good candidate and it looked like it was the guy they had spent 60 days researching and gone for.

That doesn't interest me. He could have managed Enfield Town for all I care. Who had Mourinho and Conte previously managed?

What interests me is his ability to coach. And he's shown he's more than capable of being able to coach footballers into believing what he wants to do and getting the best out of them.

Ask yourself. What do you WANT from a Spurs manager?

I don’t like how clickbait aggregators can be but this one is right.

There is one candidate that literally checks all the boxes Spurs are said to be looking for. And because the current club leadership refuses to relinquish any control about the football decisions, we’re publicly not going for him.

Everything is so ass backwards. Seems like whatever we should be doing Levy and Co are dead set on doing the opposite

It’s incompetence at the highest level and we shouldn’t have to settle any longer

If that turns out to be the case then agreed.

There is still some chance that Nagelsmann comes in and Levy and Munn relinquish some control over football decisions they don't understand.

It's over with him with the majority of the match going fans now though. People won't stand for it again next season. I'm moving out of London, so it will be even harder for me to grasp the energy to go if it is yet another shit season (which it probably will be) and I will just list the tickets. Trouble is, I think thousands of other people will do too.

You cant have a stadium like that, charge the prices they do and not have a good team competing at the top of the league. It just won't work. Yet Levy doesn't seem to realise that. It is bizarre.

I didn’t say they made us a big club. I said they have us big club expectations. Otherwise why are we being asked to pay £1500 for a season ticket? If Levy wants us to have lower expectations then lower the ticket prices. I’d accept finishing 8th if my ST cost £600.

I imagine it's because Levy knows he's got you by the balls and people will pay, regardless.

Spurs aren't a big club. Certainly not in the modern world of football and how one is considered.

We pretend to be. But there's a reason we are laughed at by practically everyone else when it's ever considered.

Ah right, I get you now.

Tbh, I said as much when Slot went to pot. How whoever we get in charge now will undoubtedly know they weren't first choice.

However, I think has a much bigger personality than Nuno did and I think he'd be able to get Spurs fans onside quite quickly with his words and passion. Whereas Nuno always sort of felt grateful he manages to stumble upwards and never quite seemed confident he would do anything worth of note here.

As we all know though, it'll be the football on the pitch that determines everything else regarding his tenure.

People say it was Gerrard's assistant being the brains behind the tactics when he was at Rangers

They only needed to win 2 games a season to make it 50/50.... All the other games did not require tactics, the massive differential in spend is all the advantage needed with those. The Celtic manager has an even bigger advantage in that department... The difference in spend has become stark in Scotland and to win things domestically with either is not a sign of anything. A small child could win the league with them.

The same thing will happen if this inexperienced twat comes to us as was the case with Gerrard at villa. You get found out here!

They are harming Spurs.

I would argue they have been indirectly harming Spurs for years.

Tottenham Hotspur is a football club and ENIC have been slowly killing the traditions of the club in pursuit of revenue.

The big money glamour signings were the first casualty. Then it was the trophy output. That has morphed into the style of play and culture at the club generally.

The right thing for Levy to do is sell the club to win now owners at a modest profit.

If he really was a Spurs supporter he would do that.

He could have sold the club to Abramovich which would have delivered the success the supporters crave and Chelsea's revolution would never have happened.

I understand that some of the people at Brighton and Brentford, who have pushed these clubs forward, only left Spurs because of Levy.

Time is up.
