Jokes aside, but so many simps credit Ange for the ropey league. By default Levy deserves credit too.
He hired Ange, he refused to sack him despite protests, angry fans, humiliation every week etc. He bought Johnson, Solanke, Maddison who I believe scored the bulk of the goals that got us there... And VdV who's clearance was as good as a goal.

So Levy won us the Europa League.

There.

Put that in ya digereedoo and suck it Angetards

Except you don't mean a single word of any of it......


State of you (not just you tho - so many tying themselves in all sorts of knots since what should be a positive, pleasurable experience).... Bitterness & petty agenda personified.
 
Does paying a £10m release clause for a manager sound like something levy would do especially as it has to be in one lump sum?

It will be a huge sticking point. It’s the one bit of doubt I have about it happening.
 
Let’s see him get here first. This will be 66+ pages of pointless shit if he turns us down or if Levy isn’t even after him.

Would be funny.

I think it’s been done for ages. Probably even before the EL final

Let’s see what he’s made of. I’m open minded and always back the coach longer than most.

Just because I can see what his appointment means about Levy’s priorities, that doesn’t make it fair to use that as a stick to beat Frank with

£10m is fuck all for the right man. I don't think this will be a sticking point at all. I think any potential deal falling through hinges far more on whether Mbeumo is a make-or-break part of the deal to get Frank, if he can't see himself being able to make it work without bringing his star man with him and we won't make a serious attempt to bring him with then I think he might feel his hands are tied before he even starts.
Very hopeful the deal is announced tomorrow followed by news in the evening of a serious approach for Mbeumo. Would put to bed some of the doubts people are having over the window right away IMO, 20 goals and 7 assists in the league, only 25, has elite player written all over him.

Interesting clip in terms of the difference in pressure at Brentford to Spurs.

If he loses to Liverpool or City for example and then says “there’s something wrong with our fans” if they expect a different result, he’s toast. Dead man walking the moment he says it.

The clubs media team will need to do a great job about clueing him up on this fan base.

Also be ready for this question: Ange said win something in his second season and did, what season will you win something?

His answer to that question will be big
 
Isn’t that often the way with cup football?

The FA Cup final vs QPR and the League Cup final under Graham were absolute dogs from a football point of view. In fact the whole campaign under Graham was as turgid as football gets. But the trophies are in the cabinet.
QPR FA Cup win was before my time.
We knew what we were getting with Graham. Nobody was under any illusion what we would be like.
The thing about Ange is the plebs have all convinced themselves they we play this wonderful brand of football. But we don't. It's shit when we lose and almost every knockout game of the Europa league was backs to the "don't loseball"
So Nobody can complain that whatever we play under Frank is bad. It's been bad for ages.

Honestly, with just 3 decent signings, I genuinely think we have a squad capable of challenging top 4 and having a proper go in all cup competitions. For me, Ange had the belief and fight that is vital for teams that win. Frank hasn't got that and if he wins us anything or gets top 4 next season it will be a miracle. But hey, he's a nice guy, maybe he'll get a trophy for that.

Quick, somebody get the 'he finished 19 points ahead' trophy
Never mind the injuries. Never mind that Brentford didn't have to play mid week most weeks. Never mind the lower expectations and less pressure.

Folks - we have an Angeboi who needs foul voted out of existence.
At the very minimum access limited purely to the ange thread which is not in the TOTTENHAM section.

We can make £10m back by finishing top 6 instead of bottom 4

What was the question though, because if the journo had asked ‘The fans think it will be an easy win as Spurs are pony at the moment’ then that’s an understandable response?

I doubt the media team will have to spoon feed him as he’s clearly an intelligent chap.

You know that, I know that, but neither of us are Levy!

We all know how he thinks. It’s all short term and proactive ownership.

I know there's a section of our fanbase with the IQ and football knowledge of a nat, but does this noisy Levy simp represent most of the people on this forum?

I'm here to meet the fans who want to see this club win trophies consistently, and who understand the only way that will ever happen is when Levy is gone. And I believe there's lots of them.
