Not sure if already posted but saw this on SC…

“The last word on spurs podcast reporting that Thomas Frank is a done deal having been interviewed 4 times prior to the euro cup final. Also reporting Levy will be removed and that the hotel build to be ceased and funds reallocated. Peter Charrington to take temp Chairman role.”

I'm sure a random poster on SC is the only person to find out that Levy will be removed.
 
And that’s the problem , we used to be a massive club , the expectation of the fans should be winning trophies and that incudes the PL and CL.
Unfortunately after how ever many years of ENIC we have turned from being a football club into a business, and the goal of this business does not include trophies , top 5 on minimum spend is the dream.
It's a problem that might take 2, maybe even 3 coaches to fix.
Much like Ange should never have gone from proper terrible leagues like Aus, Japan and Scotland straight to the PL, I'm not sure us employing an elite title winner of a coach now could work at all. The squad and club isn't ready for that jump.
I think we need to stabilise substantially for a few years, develop the likes of Bergvall, Gray, Udogie, and other younger players to be 1st teamers and squeeze the best out of what we have until we're knocking on the door and then re-asses.

I don't think long term appointments are the norm anymore. Even with Cities bottomless pockets, they're looking like they're running out of ideas under Pep.
Liverpool look better for a change.
Arse fans keep saying Arteta is on the edge.
 
We probably could've done. But since then he's had two more years of over performance relative to his budget. And he's shown that he can lose his best striker and rebuild his attack without missing a beat and can compete for europe. So in the last two years he has become more appealing and qualified. That's not saying he's become a dream appointment or anything. But he's certainly has better credentials than he did two years ago.

Two years we also did need a manager that saw anything other than complete attacking football as anathema. We just had Jose, Nuno and Conte and we needed to be reminded of what we are in regards to style.. It was important and in that regard, Ange more than served his purpose from day one.. Now, trying to find some more nuance and balance might be the correct next step.

Not saying that it is for sure going to work out. But I think there's definite logic to the appointment.
Basically levy’s wet dream , does he want to turn us into the U.K. version of Dortmund where we buy loads of young talent and sell them on ?
