You’re just being bitter right now- get behind the fucking club you malcontent.
Bitter about what? That we're getting a mid table manager instead of going for a quality choice? ...yeah actually youre right I am bitter about that
Not with that sort of magical thinking he isn't!
We'll be doubling down on safety with Frank. He'll probably perform better than most expect after a rough start, but I don't think he's taking us somewhere we haven't already been.
Sure buddy- what a great supporter of the club you are- optimistically predicting that we’ll be 7th-10th “for years”, forecasting that everyone will be a let down compared to Ange. Ya fucking right.Bitter about what? That we're getting a mid table manager instead of going for a quality choice? ...yeah actually youre right I am bitter about that

7th to 10th is a sacking under Levy. In no way is that for any "foreseeable future". He'll get Nuno'd if he gets off to a horrendous start.
Levy said it himself, he wants spurs "competing on all fronts". That means going deep in cups (not winning them) and finishing top 4 (or 5 now).
Fuck off and take Joan with you
People always trot this out because they like the way it sounds. The reality is that no manager who has finished below 5th has ever kept their job under Levy. Ange is the only one that's been on that track and was allowed to finish the season - because we were also on track to win the EL.
It's pretty clear what the minimum expectation is.
Kane coming back as player manager. Levy saving on wages by combining two roles…nailed on.
It would be great but highly unlikely , I will support any of the others , because one thing I've learnt , no one has a clue on who will really be a success or not .
I just want Spurs to kick on from the EC success so will just give my best support to whoever gets the job , like every Spurs supporter should , as for the fans , well who knows .
There's a psychology behind being an "almost" team.
It flirts with the hope and expectation of us fans.
It's what keeps us pouring our hard earned into the club. Keep dangling the carrot.

It's not that cynical.
We generally spend 5th/6th in wages and fees. Finishes lower than 5th is simply underperforming. On top of that, financially European football is a necessity and regular CL football needed. Failing to secure 4th is acceptable now and again, but less than 5th is, again, unacceptable.

All that is right. Levy hasn't been shy about sacking managers nor has he had low expectations for them. He may not choose the right manager, and he frequently has not, but he isn't afraid to sack them. He doesn't let poor league performances persist.
I think we get it all twisted sometimes with Levy.
His fatal flaw is that he consistently fails to give the manager what he needs to achieve great things. Sometimes by being cheap, sometimes by spending and getting it wrong. Sometimes by doing nothing, thinking the side is good enough when it's not. He always thinks it's better than it is.
In that part of his acumen, his instincts on the football side, that is where Levy is so often wrong. That is what has held us back. The wage bill might approximate our aspirations but the value for the money never does.
Levy's short leash with underperforming managers is one thing that suggests to me that the risk averse nature in which the club is run is more Lewis than Levy.
An impossible and laughable task with our wage bill.
