Take that, Levy!


Some cold home truths the more reasoned on here have been saying for years.

Thanks for sharing Tomo Tomo
 
This is one of the best posts I have read on this matter quite frankly.

Also, I know this is irrelevant really but I don't think his hard headed personality and false bravado is doing him any favours with people who are on the fence with him.

I expect that if he led with less ego many would be a bit more forgiving towards him, instead we get soundbites that are just beyond any logic or reason and comes across as him being so far out of his depth it's almost like someone got hired from twitter to manage this football club (clearly that isn't the case but the way he speaks about these issues makes him sound like a moron quite frankly.)

He probably knows a lot more than the majority of us and you can't deny he has clearly worked hard to get to where he is but that doesn't mean he is good enough for a club in the PL, let alone one that is apparently trying to remain in the CL and win trophies (if our bullshitter of a chairman is to be believed.)

I just don't see how he has earned the right to remain here when you look at his current record, like you say, managers have been sacked for far less.

Just watched his PC from today. He is extremely patronising with journalists, his answers always have this hidden message like "what a stupid question, you really don't understand the game".

He really is very arrogant. I do hope for all our sakes that it is either a quick implosion, or we start winning consistently. The worst thing that could possibly happen, and unfortunately I feel it is the most likely, is that we continue this win 1 lose 1 form for the rest of the season which means he won't get sacked, but we won't go anywhere either.

I just don't think he is getting anywhere near to what he should be out of the players performance wise.

His choice of leaders also deserves scrutiny. Maddison by all accounts is a fair weather player. Son isn't captain material, he just isn't, and Romero plays like got his boots on the wrong way round he's already in Madrid. Not a great example to the squad.

And anyone who thinks winning a cup will save Ange doesn't know our dear old chairman. Levy literally doesn't give a fk about winning cups, he sacked serial trophy winner Jose days before a Cup final and installed Mason lol. All he cares about is finishing in the top 4 or minimum top 6. If Ange doesn't look like doing so he will be gone in seconds.

Levy would take top 4 and no trophies for the next 20 years over 20 trophies and midtable. He wants the CL / European money
 
Get these cunts out of our club.

Also, that last point is especially telling. Why the fuck have we, as a fan base, swallowed this idea that we’re only buying fucking teenagers and aren’t allowed, ever, to actually purchase a good fucking footballer in their prime?

What is wrong with us?

‘Oh, can’t have that. He’s too good. He’ll cost too much. Stop being greedy.’

Gaslighting bullshit. They’ve created a Beyoncé bellend dome and are milking us for billions and serving up total dogshit.

How the hell are there Spurs fans that still actually support these leeches?

It's absolutely bewildering.

Let's see how arrogant he continues to be if, the team gets smashed by city and Villa which is very likely.

I don't think he's even bothered by the Champions League money any more mate. Probably not worth all the heightened expectations that come with it.
He's filling his boots nicely with all the extra stadium revenue, NFL and other third party events as it is.
 
Personally i dont give a toss what other people think. Football bantz is just the worst and i avoid it at all costs. I can even live with the trophy thing if we're really competitive. I loved the majority of the Redknapp and Poch tenures. 86/7 under Pleat when we won cock all was one of my favourite seasons.

I do care about losing 10 league games out of our last 20. Not being able to beat top 10 sides or win away, constantly looking like we'll concede and hovering around mid table.

I just dont get why Ange gets the slack that others did not. His record in the last 20 league games is now almost the same as Pochs in his last 20 and we were navigating a CL quarter and semi final in that time. Its worse than Jols last 20 league games, worse than Redknapps last 20, AVBs, bloody hell even Sherwoods.
Excellent post.

I think Ange has gotten slack from a crowd of people who think he's brought back attacking football and that is good enough for them.

Yes, things had gotten to a bad place while Nuno had his cup of tea with Spurs, but are we really playing thrilling football? When not playing Everton or the Spam our attack has been dire, and we haven't impressed against a decent club in 6 months.
 
Maybe there is a gypsies curse on the club, that would be a reasonable explanation for the continued search for success.
Or it could be that there’s a consolidation amongst the elite clubs and we aren’t one of them. Of course, some are going to claim that we are based on some cup exploit in the last millennium and before I was born.

The time to buy success with seed money has long passed and 15-20 clubs (Prem staples and others) are all cursed by the same gypsy. None of them will ever win anything without an owner ready to both cheat and burn money.

This phrase " cheating ", if clubs are doing that to win things, why has nobody had their trophies removed and or struck off the honours list.
