said, that’s absolutely fine. I agree with certain points and they’re likely correct on many things. But you can’t then turn around and say ‘oh, I don’t really support them’.Graham Roberts was hardly a star, solid committed defender but that was all , Hoddle was allowed to go to Monaco as a thank you . Crooks was not the star , it was Archibald who admittedly we let go to Barca . Lineker was finished , he went to Japan . Allen had an amazing season but never hit those heights again . Waddle I will concede was terrible business.
Voted Enic in out of a binary option does not tell the whole story either.
You'll have to ask Zomb that question.
In my opinion just as tight but maybe a bit less socially inept , less creepy videos etc
exactly that
And Chivers.Graham Roberts was hardly a star, solid committed defender but that was all , Hoddle was allowed to go to Monaco as a thank you . Crooks was not the star , it was Archibald who admittedly we let go to Barca . Lineker was finished , he went to Japan . Allen had an amazing season but never hit those heights again . Waddle I will concede was terrible business.
I am glad you have gone way back , because if you are going to do that we smashed the UK transfer record to buy Greaves and Gazza .
When has Levy shown that kind of ambition or even close to it
EDIT :
I thought I would save you having to Google it , as you would draw a blank
levy hangs onto players for too long whether they want away or are past their best. It backfires regularly.
True. there is clearly no understanding of the clubs history in that post , mind you that is just how Levy likes it I’m sure . He would love it if no fans remembered pre 1992
We are divided.
But sugar tho ....I feel it is genuinely sad to see what is happening at Tottenham.
Board level decisions took Spurs to 8th last season. The last 10 games of the season were disgustingly embarrassing
After the manager walked how he did, there should have been no hiding places when those results followed.
But here we are, three weeks to go and nothing really major has happened to give us a sense that they absolutely won’t tolerate anymore bollocks. There are players who stunk the place up against AS Mura who are still here, still starting. WTF
The reaction to the shocks of last season ( and previously ) have not been enough of a jolt to create a fight back. It’s feeling like the the absolute minimum is being done to stand still, or worse stay up.
I like Ange, I want him to do well, but he’s hobbled from the start here. He shouldn’t have been lumbered with the same deadwood that saw off four other coaches, and he must see them building hotels and wondering how much of his transfer budget is spent on the express lifts.
We are more likely by the day to have to have some combination of Dier, Sanchez and Davies in and around the squad in three weeks time.
The problem with anyone of these tits is that they were back up players when they were in their prime ! They now start games. They can perform with ineptitude time and again, there is no consequence for failure at Spurs, just a focus on the player write downs and length of contracts.
All those players should have been gone. No ifs or butts. Gone. End of.
Add in Ange has a Captain that wants to leave. But is inexplicably still there ( Why on earth is he still here )
The second senior leader / Captain, voice in the dressing room and arguably best player ever has is one foot out the door. Fair enough if he wants to go, but for goodness sake save the managers blushes and replace him from a position of strength. Not desperately squeeze a small sum extra and end up with the modern day super Pav running about a bit.
At this rate we will sell Kane for £100m and try to pay £60m for Calvert Lewin and end up with Ings on loan.
What boardroom allows these things to be happening ?
.
Director of Football still no hint of one. Scott Munn. What an embarrassing situation that proved to be.
And Dead Hand Dan has more control than at any point recently, months after the claims were made that he was finally stepping back.
Fucking shambles of a club. Overseen by an Obtuse ownership.

I’d say most of those people are “anti enic out” rather than “Enic in”. That sounds like splitting hairs but it’s more a rejection of the unfair criticism of their leadership than it is a love of them.
