He can’t dunk on the current players directly though. Some of them we are trying to sell, others will have allies on the dressing room.

After this season, the players absolutely deserve to be dunked on. Micky said himself this season was embarrassing. They know it's noehwere near good enough.

Him saying that the players let themselves down isn't exactly a secret, clubs after our players will have been watching, doing due diligence. If anything this culture of coasting is being protected.

I'd much rather he said that it was totally unacceptable and that there's going to be a review into the playing squad. Light a fire under their asses.

They might deserve to be and they might be saying it themselves, but I can guarantee you if the CEO started saying the “attackers were rubbish” etc it would be counter productive. This is not Italy where presidents can say all manner of crazy shit and no-one bats an eyelid.

Again, we hear the same crap, every year. Some prepared, internal interview, doesn't make me think that there's any real accountability. It was deflection and blaming.

I'm not arguing agaisnt your point. My point is this interview is much the same as those that have preceded them, and I don't find him to be more accountable than Levy. It's probably the work of the same PR person.

There have literally been at least three much-ballyhooed "comprehensive internal reviews" in the past 6-odd years.

They have no credibility, and are unwilling to evince any knowledge or acceptance of their total lack of public credibility.

Yep. And people fall for it, every single time. He might well be telling the truth, but until I see that backed up by actioning what they say, then it's absolutely more of the same guff.

Levy stated that he has known Venkatesham for years and considers him not only someone he gets on well with, but also someone whose strong work ethic and values align with his own. He believes Spurs will benefit significantly from the appointment.

He said (Tottenham Hotspur): “I have known Vinai for a number of years. Without doubt, he was the candidate. Sometimes you employ somebody and you are unsure whether it will work out, but because we have known each other, that risk did not exist.

“I am very excited Vinai has joined us, and I think the club is going to benefit enormously from it. Vinai is a good communicator, honest, has integrity, is bright, enjoys being challenged, and I want to be challenged as well"

I’m sure he knew him, and may even have recognised work ethic but like fuck he wanted to come in and break up the megalomaniac cottage industry

There was a distinct lack of quality available in January. Semenyo was one option but of course he joined City.

Clubs don't want to sell their best players in January

The thing is we can't win either way. Last summer we were linked to semenyo with Bournemouth wanting 70m and a large majority thought that was laughable, overpriced and a waste of money.
The chances are that even if we had paid it and got him he wouldn't of performed to his level in this nuthouse of a club and we'd have been saying it was a terrible buy and a waste.

The problems run deep. I have hope that RDZ can bang a few heads together and lead the way so long as hes given enough power and control.
