I already called them out for it before, it must be an anti Levy cult thing or something...

Nah this behaviour needs to be studied man 😆

Honestly, it's fucking weird to be called a cum guzzler and told go suck a dick by people who simply disagree with something you say or think.

Maybe it's not homophobic but it certainly shows a lack of emotional intelligence and some other much more deep issues with their inability to be able to have a constructive conversation.

Why do you think Gooner fans want him to stay?

Lmao It never ceases to amaze me why fans take football chanting so literally.

Mate - I don't think our fanbase want to literally kick the head in of Woolwich fans, just a hunch.

What? No we didn't.
In 91 our 8th win overtook Man Utd's 7.
By 2001 when they took over, Man Utd had 10 Woolwich on 7 were by then poised to overtake up by winning the next 2 consecutive FA Cups.

So yeah, we did have the record - but that was 10 years before they took over.

Ok so I was out by a few years.

Point stands. This used to be a trophy-winning club in the English top flight. Now it leverages the idea of almost winning to harvest more money from it's customers without ever delivering.

And round and round we go.... sack the manager, sack the head scout, but never criticise Levy.

That forumula isn't working, can't you see? We're a joke.

Even if we did have a couple of good seasons under ENIC that's not good enough, we won fuck all and we've since declined.

I say the formula for increasing our odds and probability of winning cups has increased overall but you will never have exponential improvements in football.

Some of his managerial appointments I have been pleased with at the time or they did well, others have been garbage.

Ones I would put down as positive;
Hoddle
Jol
Redknapp
Pochettino
Conte
Postecoglu

Ones I would say were trash;
Santini
Ramos (even though he won a cup)
AVB
Sherwood (albeit short term)
Mourinho
Nuno

Around 16-17 years I think of understandable tenures compared with 6-7? years of the garbage.

You can paint Levy to be as good as you like but the proof is in the pudding. We don't win enough, and as I said to your fellow Levy arse kisser, we had a couple of good seasons under ENIC, won fuck all, and since then we have declined.

What's to like?

Could say as a club we average a trophy every 8-9 years overall.
There have been peaks and troughs naturally, with the 60s-80s massively inflating the average.

But football has changed a lot since then. We would never have signed a Villa / Ardiles standard of player since 2001 without becoming a bigger, more attractive club to join.

As has been discussed recently, I blame Poch for our 2 massive stinkers of Ndombele and Lo Celso the following window. Levy DID "pay the money" on ill advised garbage.

The manager and chief scout (whatever Hitchen was) were fired shortly after.

Hitchen wasnt sacked soon after, he was actually promoted to technical director in 2020 after he scouted those signings. This was someone who was meant to be an expert on the French league. He oversaw the equally shit 2020 window of Joe Hart, Doherty, Rodon, Requillon, Hojbjerg and Bale. He was never sacked but resigned a few months after Paratici came.

Quite so you should be in here praising him and the board when we win then, why don't I see this thread bumped when we beat teams, why do you disappear from the forum like a little snake when we beat teams?

You can't have it both ways, or maybe you can because you struggle to be objective when it comes to the board and your whole entire feeling towards the board is clouded in bias...

You could like the food, drink and music concerts, after all, expecting a huge football club to be successful is entitlement.

Isn't the point of football to win as many trophies as possible?

You seem to be echoing what people accuse Levy of ie try and stay in the top 7, and sod the cup competitions.

If not for some amazing saves from Vicario this season we'd be mid table. You'd need to be blind to not see it.

We also had a very lucky win against Liverpool.

95% of teams cannot win trophies so no.

An even higher percentage of teams don't win trophies from season to season, last season in the PL only two teams won trophies with 3 going to 1 club, does that mean the other 18 were objective failures?, no.

Also lol what does being lucky in matches and our goalkeeper saving us do with the board? It seems like many of you have got it twisted, that's a manager and player thing, not a board thing mate.

BTW That's such a rival fan take, if not for one of our best players we'd be mid table, well duh, it's not as if you can't make the same argument for anyone else is there :pocheyes:

It's now a 1 trophy in 16 years club.

Just the facts. I'm happy I support Spurs regardless. Others maybe live in regret they didn't choose a Liverpool or something.

FA Cup in 91
League Cup in 99

That's 2 trophies.

In our apparently worst ever decade according to Levy apologists.

Sugar dug us out of a massive fucking hole, built 2 new stands, won a cup, over turned a potential relegation worthy 12 point deduction and sold us in rude health.

It's actual madness how much mud the Levy apologists fling his way. If you want to have ago at bad chairmen, it's probably Irving Scholar that nearly ruined us that needs some flack.

Or, you know, the chairman who has turned us into a well run club with nothing to cheer about.

Yes, he did solidify the club financially.

He was just an obnoxious, arrogant, odious cunt of a human being which tends to make people dislike you.

How anybody watches the wanker on that ridiculous TV show he does is a mystery to me.

If your argument is that Spurs were a trophy winning club then you're making a comparison to a previous owner and you compare it to the previous regime, if the previous regime had a record similar to what we have now or by and large where our trophy haul decreased in that period then you're completely disingenuous if you're putting that all on ENIC.

Also what's more is that trophies back then were far easier to win and weren't being hoovered up by state sponsored teams and teams with Oligarth's who's intention was to launder their money and buy their way to success, no doubt we should have won more but when you provide context it's really not as black and white as you're making out.
