O'Keefe who's pretty clued up believes we are looking to get rid of plenty this summer by any feasible option and believes if we can't find buyers for high earners like Lloris and Perisic then it's likely we just release them from their contracts (In the same way we did to Doherty)
Lloris and Perisic are on about 170k a week each. Fucking them both off ASAP would be pretty smart
Meaning Levy will have to pay out on contracts and more on replacements??
time will tell, youll know after 6 games if hes the right man. there was worrying signs with conte after 6 games with his selections etc. using a system that has emerson royal as your main attacking threat.I don't think Postecoglou will get those players performing anywhere near the miracles Conte did.
I want to be wrong. I do. But I can't see anything other than him failing, and quickly.
Relax mateSo we are going to pay to rip up contracts, then pay to replace the players we pay to get rid of, shell out 70 odd million to buy Kulu + Porro AND spend big on other players this summer???
With no Europe. And no major incoming money from sales. I’m looking forward to this cash injection from ENIC!
Levy has his many faults. But he’s not a complete idiot. There’s no way he thinks this current squad can finish 2nd and 3rd and make a CL final run just because of a new manager.Levy probably wants someone to repeat the Poch model where he gets some sustained success without paying for it. He thinks the players here can do it, he only changes the manager.
Yup a 2.20 minute video including some replays and none of the RM goals..weird.I dunno man. That video is only 2:20. What about the other 43 mins?
Just those two minutes show the difficult task he will have here because we don't have the players to play with that kind of verve, freedom, pace and directness.
I know Ange likes a challenge but I think he has underestimated this job he is about to take on
Relax mate
I'm sure some Italian club will give us 50 million for Sanchez and likewise a spanish club will bid 80 mil for Lo Celso
Stop being negative
Yeah, blind faith and unbridled optimism are what's needed here.
Not crying, just very disappointed with this manager. It's up to him to prove the doubters wrong, not for us to just shut up and follow the herd.
You want differing opinions on here or is just an Ange Fan Club site now?
The thing about all those that try to take issue against Spurs is they are armed with the information they take directly from their club's football forums entitled "Come he to laugh at Spurs", be that Woolwich, Chav, Utd whoever. But 90% of it doesn't stand up to scrutiny. It's all a good laugh in your Woolwich bubble until you try to use that same material to a Tottenham fan's face.Keown tries to get a one up on Jordan everytime and he fails miserably...
It's great to see
Not so sure.Levy has his many faults. But he’s not a complete idiot. There’s no way he thinks this current squad can finish 2nd and 3rd and make a CL final run just because of a new manager.
And now you know why. Low expectation manager whos just good enough to have an idea about coaching but not big enough that he’ll start demanding money for players
Well if we let other clubs know this… there goes any leverage.O'Keefe who's pretty clued up believes we are looking to get rid of plenty this summer by any feasible option and believes if we can't find buyers for high earners like Lloris and Perisic then it's likely we just release them from their contracts (In the same way we did to Doherty)
Buying a player out of his contract usually means paying him the full wage. I don’t understand why we’d release perisic unless he’d agree to give back some salary… he can still cover as a winger.Lloris and Perisic are on about 170k a week each. Fucking them both off ASAP would be pretty smart
I imagine there’s some form of transparency and it’s not all smoke and mirrors. To be fair, I doubt agents he trusts yap to the press but im sure there is some level of guidance to agentsChairman tells agents that the club doesn’t have money to spend.
When would Levy ever tell an agent that he’s flush with cash to spend?
I'm struggling to understand the optimism some have on here regarding Ange. Is it just relief that we've finally appointed someone? That it's not Brendan Rodgers?!
Maybe I'll be proven wrong but I think he's way out of his depth, this is the PL not some Mickey Mouse league in Scotland or Australia. I hope so I really do, glad I didn't renew though and Spurs won't be getting a single penny out of me whilst Levy and ENIC remain in charge.
We're one of the richest clubs in the world, wouldn't think it though.
