Management Vinai Venkatesham - CEO

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Fair enough,, I’ve only seen very brief clips of her, twice , today being the second. So obviously I probably shouldn’t have said anything.

Hopefully she does have a “ Delia Smith -like “ commitment to the Club and its wellbeing and eventual success on the pitch ( as well as off it ) .

[But her embrace with Vinai did seem a bit forced and unnatural ( possibly he knows he’s toast (?) .

But , again, I take your point , and my reaction was based on a scant few seconds of observation ; so could probably be unfair .

( Maybe she could come out and say things on a regular basis ; and then we’d know what she’s actually about ; is there any record of her ever having done so ? Genuine question ) .

The only time I want to hear from her is when she’s sold the club!
 
This guy is basically a politician isn’t he. Someone who has grabbed the big job by meetings and knowing the corporate lingo. With Vinai and Lange you just feel like there is nothing there, a fancy suit, spreadsheets and handshakes but beneath a hollow shell.

You look at De Zerbi who to be frank is a lunatic but he has substance to him. It’s the very opposite
 
No end of season notes from this cunt is fucking grim, communication meant to be his forte and yet no acknowledgement of how bad our season has been and mistakes been made, no mention of how we're going to put things right next season, no thanking the fans etc...

Tells you everything you need to know, just fuck off.
Am I foolish for hoping that his cards have already been marked and he's just marking time?
 
To be fair she is apparently a massive Spurs fan and had pictures of Glenn Hoddle on her bedroom wall growing up. I'm not defending her but she is the defacto owner of the club and if she is half as ruthless as her old man was before he decided to give away inside info then I'd exoect a few heads to roll. Hopefully the gooner cunt will be one of them and Lange another.

👍

TBF I didn’t ( and probably still don’t) know anything about her ; apart from that .

It’s reassuring to know that she is a genuine fan ( and has exquisite taste in players , hopefully she’s still got that poster up on a wall somewhere ) .

Like I said; I was basing my ( unduly harsh ) assessment on having watched a couple of 2-3 second clips of her ; let’s hope she really is “ one of us “ .

COYS
 
It’s time.

We have a serious deficiency of football nous at board level as Toby Alderweireld recently pointed out.

I’d definitely make room for him and Brad Friedel within the organisation.

We need more ex-Spurs people in the building over corporate suits.

The suits can keep the football people honest financially, but they shouldn’t be anywhere near the footballing decisions.
 
They’ve gotten away with it and intentionally learned nothing.

No, we wait to see how quickly and on who we appear to spend money on and who we get out of the door.

We wait to hear if De Zerbi stirs or appears content. That gives us our answers.

I can't stand the CEO or Lange but that is not to say the capacity, with input to be be much improved isn't there

Let's pause for now, as further change doesn't necessarily make things better.

Budgets and specific player targets aside; we are royally fucked at the negotiating table (both agents and clubs) with these 2 clowns pulling the strings.

A million miles away from Paratici or Levy........
