Maybe Levy's got a plan to reduce the wage bill even further?
Championship football.
Chelsea turned us over, not Poch.
It's utterly bizarre, and again incompetence on Levy's part.
First, and most obviously in appointing him, but second in the wage.
He was apparently on £2m pa at Celtic. Now, Tottenham is/was a bigger job than Celtic. He may well have taken it at £2m pa, but in any event, say you went to £3m pa and said "and a further £2m if you win a cup"... is anyone saying he wouldn't have taken that? What other offers did this cunt have?
That first half where he decided to surprise City and suddenly press in the midfield and cut off their out ball.
And we turned into 2005 AC Milan for 45 minutes. The one time he’s shown some tactical ingenuity it would have given the Scum the league.
Genuinely have PTSD from that game.
I mean they're mates so I doubt it would be that lol
Starting to think board are having eyesight problems. Our league position is a disgrace. Surely they're not pinning hope on a potential mauling at liverpool. To make matters worse it's on network tv that game.
I wasnt sure about bringing him back before because it will never be as good but its perhaps the most realistic of the serious options that we could possibly get now.
He obviously works well with young players and improves them, so a good match for our squad and he would bring a bit of a feel good factor back.
It wouldnt be the same and it wouldnt be another 5 year stint but even 2.5 years to get us back on an even keel would be a massive improvement. I'd rather Iraola but if we could do this now i'd take it.

In my experience, Levy is already out in the market for an interim manager. He won’t sack Ange before they have someone confirmed in. But he’s a dead man walking, no doubt in my mind.
Perhaps we sack him after Thursday. Top 8 secured in europa then new manager has a hit at all trophies when players are back.
I'm giving Poch the credit as what he should have done was set them up to lose and come out at full time wearing his spurs shirt !
We are run by fuckwits. Shouldnt be a shock. Levy has never got it.

Well said. Binary thinking obscures so much. Another example is that the opinions on Postecoglou seem to divide into a)he's a genius who will revolutionize football and take Spurs to the top of the table or b)he's completely unqualified and will get Spurs relegated. The sad truth is, when all the injuries are healed and the transfers finally arrive Spurs could well be a upper mid-table team that scores a lot of goals but stays somewhere from 5-9 most seasons. Sadly, I think there is a part of the fan base that will accept that.
It's totally contrary to what we all say about Levy though, he's supposed to want Waitrose quality for Aldi prices, this is the complete opposite!
He's walked straight into the knockdown aisle of Aldi here, picked up the most out of date, battered packaging, shittiest slab of horses arse meat he could find, and gone and paid more than double the value at the checkouts...
People forget in 2016/17 the premier league was not competitive - absolutely nothing like it is now - the gap from 5th-10th was 30 points..... the gap from 10th - 18th was 10.
75% of the teams back then were absolute cannon fodder for a decent side.
The current gap between 5th & 10th is 8 points. FML we are closer to 5th in 15th by much less than 10th was back at the end of 2016/17.
This is not the same league, Poch wouldn't be able to reproduce what he did back then with us now.

Yes, if we fire Postecoglou we may not lock in lasting mediocrity.
I get it.
We need to hear it from Levy himself though. If he’s really committed this time, say it up front and show it in the transfer market.
It's unforgivable.
Egomaniac scumbag traitor.
We haven't gone so hard at a team since that game.
He pumped them up to the moon before they came out.
Piece of shit cunt.
Son is a genuine legend for picking the fans over that cunt and deliberately missing that 1v1.
The evidence increasingly suggests it is not rational to assume a "all the injuries are healed" scenario, and that the baseline level of injuries with Ange as coach is crippling high.
Not with Ange as coach. No way Levy is going to back the guy losing every match with big money
