Maybe not but the two teams mentioned are first and second in the league.









We're all the way down here.

I hear you 100%.
But one of those teams will have overpaid young men on long contracts to win nothing maybe other than an EL or FA cup.
I hate what this has all become.
Pay more, cheat more, win more.
There was a time when the FA cup took over a whole Saturday in May.
Now? It’s a sideshow. The cheating teams can play the big guns to win the final, having rested them in the knockout stages.
I am so desperate for us to win something that means something to me. The league cup doesn’t ring my bell.
So the last time we won something that made me very happy was in 1991. When Gazza was young and reckless rather than old and feckless. I had hair then as well.
I’m an old man shouting at the clouds tbh and I wish we would at least compete with the wages that the good clubs offer. The boat gets pushed out once in a while, always too late & leaves the club playing catch up.
Would be great to see these young talents come through and have a team of animals who just want to win trophies.
But as soon as their value and ambitions outmatch ENIC then it’s curtains. We either keep them too long so they’re anxious to leave or we break them because we are too tight to provide recruitments, replacements, competition or upgrades.

Let's be honest , it's well past time that Levy and ENIC move on.

Obviously what he has done with the stadium and training ground and commercially has been good, and I think if he moved on, many fans bitterness would eventually turn to appreciation to an extent for those achievements. But the reality is, the fans were sold a dream, that all of the frugalness and lack of ambition in the transfer market, was due to the stadium being built, and we were told that it would be a game changer that would allow us to compete. So fans showed patience during those years, which let's be honest was more than a decade all in all, from the planning to the actual build.

Now however, with the stadium built, there is nothing left for Levy to offer us. The brutal reality is, he hasn't changed since the stadium has built. He still seems to be betting that the PL will implode, and that his financial conversatism will put Spurs in a strong position to take advantage. He's been betting on that for over a decade. But the reality is that day isn't coming. Clubs like City and Chelsea have shown that the money will never stop, they will always spend and we will be left behind.

It's not even the transfer fees, it is to an extent, but it's more the wages and agent fees, Levy just won't compete.

We have a ceiling of 4th at absolute best under Levy. That is the cold hard reality. We aren't ever building a title challenging team under this bloke, so it's time he sold up and made way for more ambitious sporting owners.

The fans just need a change, a reset. We are tired of having the same issues with Levy. We are tired of moaning about how tight he is, about how he's so financial risk averse. We are fed up. 25 years is far too long to have one bloke controlling our great club. it's sickening really. He just needs to fuck off. I know it's not for everyone but I would take rich middle eastern owners every day of the week. I don't care, let's do what City have done, and Chelsea fuck it. It's the only way we will ever compete.

Under Levy, we are just set up to tread water, maintain an illusion of competitiveness, hover around the top 6, so that the club keeps growing in value in line with the PL, and Levy makes money. We don't actually need to win trophies. I am sure Levy wants to win something, but it isn't do or die, he won't push the boat out and really go for it, like City, Woolwich, Liverpool and Chelsea's owners will do. It's a nice to have rather than a win at all costs mentality.

Unfortunately I think he sees it as what THFC can offer him ( ENIC ) than what he can offer THFC
 
It’s not always about money either , it’s about the mentality of the club . The term Spursy sums up the owners approach to the footballing side , indecision, flip flopping of ideology, cutting corners , panic , lack of planning , unnecessary lack of respect, unprofessionalism , outright neglect etc.

It’s all well and good swanning around a state of the art sport complex but if there’s next to no focus at the top it 100% flows down to affect the staff you employ . We’ve seen proof of this with many ex managers & players going on to win stuff and or basically saying that something is very wrong at THFC.

Good thing we're not a private listed company then isn't it.

Everything is audited and available for the public to so where the money goes, it's up to him if he wants to research or he can just have a moan because everyone else does it and it's in fashion.

Not true and it’s been discussed here often , there are several satellite companies around THFC who do not have to disclose information
