Wonder if it'll be 2 interims in a row to bide time until Poch in the summer, one maybe already at the club to take charge of the Woolwich game, maybe until Liverpool and then someone else until the end of the season like they did with Stellini and then Mason.

Levy had control of every aspect of the club.

All ENIC did was provide money regardless of how little of how much they handed over.

The buck stops with Levy, no one else.

And yes, ENIC should have done more, but Levy fucking wasted almost everything we had...

Flip flopped between styles managers, and brought the vast amounts of shit we seen on the pitch now.

It's 100% on Levy.

This is now the first real test of the new board. The next manager will be 100% their decision. Wont be able to blame Levy from this point IMO. Its going to be really interesting to see who they go for.

Leadership has been lacking for years

Odd thing to say when Levy was such a renowned control freak

But culture comes from the top, and our current malaise is a direct result of that "culture" the last decade

Vinai and co could be putting that right, but instead they seem even worse





100% anyone would be looking for a relegation clause (and big survival bonus! :harrylol: ) So I dont think the possibility of managing in the championship is a problem

Possibly the prospect of having relegation on their CV will bother them, but even then Im not sure - Spurs are seen as such a joke club I dont know if it would reflect badly on a manager to take over now and take use down

It's scary to think, but it is looking possible that Levy actually wasn't the problem. In fact, he may have been the one person at the club stopping ENIC sending us down years earlier.

I was watching a podcast from the athletic yesterday, cant remember the presenter, Dan Kilpatrick and Seb Blaford whatsit

Seb and the guy were talking about what a mess it is, about how much there is to do, what a big job etc

Kilpatrick cut them off and basically said, Yeah - but is it really? Get the right person in the job, make the obvious right decisions, how hard can it be? (paraphrasing)

And it really reasonated with me. Im ignorant, I know, but watching Vinai and co carrying on - it seems harder to fuck it up like they are than to get things right. I mean seriously, how hard is it really?

Football is ultimately a simple game...

I guess now Levy is gone that’s why it was totally different this window and we sold and replaced Brennan straight away and before Kudus got injured and got in some reinforcements to help with all the other injures!

Lange, Frank and Vinai too matey and nice. Leadership needs to be ruthless, that's how it is in the big businesses.

100% and this is quite common in leadership groups at businesses. Jobs for the boys, everyone gets along, very cliquey, stick together, self preservation.

I would be absolutely shocked if Lange isn't gone in the summer. I think the only reason he hasn't gone with Frank is because there would be too much upheavel now.

Vinai well he's on fraud watch for me, it's much tougher to know when a CEO will get jogged on, but he's shown himself to be a weak indecisive "leader". So he needs to go too.

If this is the first real test then they have already failed , we are now in a relegation battle - had they acted quicker and changed the manager months ago and strengthened in January then we could
Be looking at European football next season and not relegation

What is this utter shyte? Seriously, ENIC just owned shares, Joe took no interest in the club, as long as shares went up.

ENIC had no input in the club, the biggest critism of since they brought us, from almost everyone.

So how's looking what?

It's been all on Levy, the abouslute shill and lies to defend this bald cunt

Astonishing.

I would love to know WHY they wanted to keep him

Its not even self preservation - he was taking us down to the Championship - that would cost them more in terms of their jobs than sacking a manager

In one of the many pieces that came out yesterday relating to all of this they touched on this bit.

Basically Vinai and Lange felt that there are far too many issues behind the scenes at Spurs to blame the club's issues solely on the manager. That there is a bunch of restructuring needed to make a modern football organisation out of it.

Which tbh feels like them being both right and wrong at the same time if you ask me. The backstage issues are glaringly obvious. So they are correct there. But it doesn't give them cart blanche to blindly hold on to a manager that clearly isn't up for the job.
