The Tottenham Way podcast is good this week. Marcus Buckland makes so many good posts it almost seems they were lifted from here!

Alright 'copper', your ignorant views on here are well documented. As for your "SpiderSpurs in grown man who can't do a normal reply to someone without some inane comment & insult shocker" comment (edit: which you've now deleted - wanker!!
) - I'm currently having a discussion with
Tottenham Massive
(who I think is a wnaker and he thinks that same of me) quite calmly.Best for you to stop now.
So then you're supporting no change whatsoever?That's fine. He's more qualified to judge than me and you.
And wether He's sacked or not, unlike many on here, I've never once wavered from my opinion that the real issue here are the owners.
I'm backing Cuti .
Honestly, if I felt so strongly as you do, I'd find another hobby. If the only thing that will satisfy you, if you truly believe the only way we'll succeed is new ownership, why do you make yourself miserable?
Because Levy is never, ever, going anywhere. Lewis might fuck off, but it will be Levy buying him out. Levy's son is CEO of Tavistock. They're part of the furniture now.

Hurr durr inane, irrelevant, off topic and personal comments about a job rather than act like a normal person. Act your age, not your IQ score.
I told you a simple fact (that someone can agree on one thing and disagree on another) and you decided to do your usual unstable stuff.
Get help.

Not really. Spurs are always ripe for a big takeover. It MIGHT not happen but it could also happen at any time. We have serious leg room with FFP and are a London club with bucket loads of potential. The issue is our price would be high but that doesn't make said takeover an impossibility.
Anyone taking us over could feasibly invest hundreds and hundreds of millions and massively boost our wage without running in to the issues other clubs have experienced. We could absolutely be doing what Chelsea have done and absolutely rinsing the market for the biggest young talents. All we need is someone ambitious/a group of ambitious people to take a chance on this great club which is being perpetually held down in the pit of mediocrity.
Makes more sense than paying to watch a game and then decide to miss 15 mins of it.
Levy has no interest in selling. There's never been an indication otherwise, and they're heavily invested in increasing commercial investments in the stadium area. Tottenham is Levy's life's work - nothing is prying him out of the club.
Levy selling up is a fantasy. It's a fairy tale people tell themselves at night to get to sleep.
He might not have interest in selling right now. He may do if/when the club turns toxic and then someone (for example) Saudi backed comes to him with an offer he can't refuse.
Step one, make it toxic for him. More moments like when his wife had to comfort him at the game. It shouldn't be enjoyable for him to come and watch games.
I highly doubt that if it is clear that the fans collectively despise him (this has never been clear, the fans have never gone nearly far enough or united nearly enough against Levy) and a huge amount of money is on the table, he chooses to continue this charade.
Yet you thought it a good idea that others should?
Come on FFS!

2000 votes on twitter - doesn't equate to even 200 at an actual match.
If they are choosing to do it then I support it.
Not my place to tell anyone how they should express their frustration. I can have an opinion on what would make the biggest impact ie, I’d have fucking loved you see the faces of the Skysports executives with an empty stadium for their annual Spurs vs Chelsea drama.
But anyway, why do you want to tell people how to be pissed of with the owners? Is your way the only right way?
People express dissatisfaction in lots of different ways. I for one just refuse to put a penny in the clubs coffers. Have for a long while wanted to buy a shirt but won't do it, not a penny will go in to this football club while Levy is in charge. Aware it is a drop in the ocean and the vast majority won't do it.
ANY form of protest is better than none. I would personally prefer everyone refuses to buy tickets, go to the store, get food at the stadium etc, but I know that will never happen, that there will be no collective agreement to achieve this. If missing the first 15 mins or screaming Levy out and making him miserable at games is what they want to do, then do it!
My way? What way is that?
I'm neither pro or against Levy/ENIC and I'm neither pro or against Ange - I'm pretty sure I've always made that quite clear.
My issue is people who don't go to games (for whatever reason) telling 45,000 ST holders what they should do, and that wasting the money they have already spent was a good idea.
I have also laughed at the 15-20 protesters in the past as they make no difference and the loud minority on social media platforms are all talk and fuck all else - that happens on this and many other forums too.
BTW, I've attended protests before, I guess 99% of others on here and elsewhere online haven't.
They have 40k followers and 2k voted out the 15k that saw the post.so about 13% of the spurs fans who saw the post.
What’s 13% of the stadium? About 7.5k ?
If 7.5k people chant Levy Out, that’s pretty impactful
Try not to get splinters.
Tell you what, if I didn't have mouths to feed, work for a living and live over 150 miles away I'd be there in a heartbeat.
There used to be a thing where we'd all get excited at the prospect of a trophy whenever the year ends in 1.
Even that's been forgotten and consigned to history now.
It's not meant to be a measure of success.
Many of those finals we had the team and ability to win on the day. It's OK if we disagree. I don't fully blame them for most of those losses. Others I've seen try and say we were the underdog but then why would we be expected to win.
Just a lot of mental gymnastics in my opinion.
We lost them because of a number of factors.
