So why did none of them manage it then???! We've been in these levels of competition before... and for all the positives Poch brought to the club, and for all the Trophies Jose has won at every single club he's been at bar ours, they both treated the NON-CL European competitions with total DISDAIN, as if it was somehow beneath us!

The conference league was a total inconvenience to us, cos we clearly had bigger trophies to win!

Europa League and Conference Leagues should've been within our reach...
But we were above all that Farmers League nonsense weren't we?

Take the Europa League seriously as a CLUB for once, and even ANGE might have a chance at winning it!

I think their remit was to prioritise champions league qualification through league position at all cost. Poch is on record as confirming the top 4 trophy was the goal. A champions league place is only a recent carrot dangled for winning it, and with the club languishing in the lower reaches of the league, it takes on more importance financially for the club than it did in the past.

For the record, I don't think the current squad is well enough equipped to go all the way, but it would stand a far better chance with a competent manager coaching them

I think Levy has run out of road, he can’t sell us a ‘project’ or a ‘proven winner,’ these plans have both failed embarrassingly.

No serious manage or coach would entertain this poisoned chalice and any promising lad would be ground up in the mess that is Tottenham Hotspur. I really cannot guess who the next victim will be.

Levy espouses mediocrity and pays lip service to success on the field.We are in an abusive relationship with our club and I can’t decide if he is a brutal stepfather or indeed, has the football equivilent of Munchausen’s.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

So you mean to say that even when Poch and Mourinho weren't trying they were better cup managers than Ange, who is trying?
That's a fucking worry.

Well this season Ange has lost to Liverpool & Villa, both at a time of injury stricken teams. Previous Managers have not played our best players in certain Cup matches leading to losses. Kane despite being our leading scorer was not the leading scorer in F A Cup matches as he was frequently benched in the early rounds.
I fully expect a stronger team to be put out next Thursday than against Southampton or Wolves but in the past it would have been the other way around or players would have played the lot.

That is the reason we are trophyless. The clubs left in the Europa are not as good as Liverpool, Woolwich, MC & Chelsea all standing in our way of top 4.
Ange's tactics leave much to be desired but we will not get anyone better until the end of the season. Surely Ange's poor results and league position are why the anti Levy protests have taken off. Had we been 6th in PL then I doubt they would have been so well attended.

But we are not 6th so how is the point relevant?

I think we're basically set up as Stepping Stone Hotspur nowadays...

Levy behaves like the chancellor of the exchequer at our club. Probably lives at 11 Going Downing Street.

We are essentially the English version of Valencia at this point. Held hostage by a owner with no sporting ambition outside of "what generates me the most money?"

That's NEVER gonna end well, is it?
Unless the strategy is always gonna be "Buy Cheap, sell High" ...but to achieve that, the players we have must actually DO something worth an inflated sell on fee...

Right now, half our squads' value has probably diminished if anything!

SJ nailed it with his last lines

The game has changed. Levy maybe built the club into a space ship that’s sustainable but doing huge revenue but it’s still not enough to get it done. The other players in the game are still bigger and prepared to take losses

The moral high ground doesn’t do shit for anyone. Time to sell to someone who can win because Levy and ENIC can’t and won’t

I'm glad we are finally being seen & that the 'mainstream' is finally seeing our point instead of saying LOOK AT ALL THE SHINY *JANGLES KEYS*
