Of course they will you stupid cultist fuck. There's this thing called money. Ever heard of it? It is used in exchange for goods and services. What you do is give someone lots of this 'money' thing. As a club, we have lots of this 'money' stuff. If you're still unsure, then it's the same stuff we all hand over for the dubious privilege of attending games, and the same stuff that stays in Levy's pocket.

Here's an article that you may want to read that tells you more:

Well people were calling for a change of system, he changed the system and we looked even worse.
But people have been saying he's inflexible and when he does change it he gets panned.

He can't win either way. He's a dead man walking but at least when he leaves he can go somewhere else and leave Tottenham behind.

Like Mourinho, Conte and even Nuno he will do well somewhere else.

Not sure ange gets a big job after this. Maybe back to celtic if they get rid. Would love to see him try his style in serie A though
 
Incredibly I think they'll stick with him, we're off to Germany on wed for thurs game then have a MASSIVE game against Leicester on Sunday.

fucking hell

the sad thing is , with the 3 cups there's still so much to play for!
 
Ryan Mason then?

Maybe Levy should get him to wear a wig, grow a beard and change his name to Bryan Mason.

They would need to create a fake CV of his footballing career in New Zealand but they might be able to pull it off with the happy clappers.

It looked fresh and potentially exciting if it was in our standard 4:3:3 formation with bergvall and gray on midfield

But that absolute mess of a formation he thought up was a nightmare, moyes was loving it.
At least he acknowledged he fucked that up somewhat

Formations or performances?

I think it's often too convenient to forget that players, playing well probably trump any formation.

That we looked better when we changed might be a red herring when set against an opponent already 3 up and settling for what they had.

I don't know.

Ange panicked after the Solanke injury.
He was wrong by not selecting Spence and resting Udogie earlier this season.
Obviously Richarlsion is not 100% but Ange should at least have started Big Will.
But this is with the benefit of hindsight.
Before the game I thought the team he selected was exciting

I thought we were going to see a Gray / Bergvall MF with Maddison as AM. Instead it was - well - something else.

Just sick of him spouting excuses after every game as he just stares at the floor. It's winding me up no end. WOrst manager we have ever ever had.

WTF is Levy waiting for? He can't seriously be thinking to give this fucker another game.

Make the change and let the new man come in and have a decent home game to kick off with.

Honestly think we lose next week if Ange is sitll manager. We cannot allow ourselves to lose any more games under this clown. Today was a disgrace.

We won’t pick up another win while he’s still here.

It just shows the stadium was never intended to benefit the football side of the club. Was just another part of the illusion

This needs to stop - having a venue that makes money is not a bad thing, the way the club is performing is the problem. If we're making money from concerts/events/tourism that doesn't mean we can't have a competitive club, in fact it SHOULD be the opposite.

I hear crap like we should never even moved from the old WHL, 14 years on a Season Ticket Waiting List, I don't share that view, it offered a lot of real fans the chance to go regularly to see Spurs, it's not the grounds fault we're massively underperforming. There is a bigger debate to be had over pricing, especially with what we've witnessed on the pitch.

Levy is completely responsible for the managers employed, the players transferred and him/ENIC should not be absolved but they mismanaged the football side, not the 'ground making money' side. It's perfectly possible to raise revenue around the club and run a football team properly. We would not be mentioning this if the team were delivering on the pitch, the reason they're not delivering is mismanagement and lack of backing, not the sky walk.

Formation, we were left incredibly exposed by what he attempted in that first half. Because it was for all intents and purpose a back 2 playing a high line
Ludicrous stuff

Good on you for saying so but the issue is that Postecoglou can't get the most out of this group of players, and left unchecked it could become very very dangerous.

Right now, we are probably in amber.

The Solanke injury, and a lack of an option, were hugely unlucky. No one can or should fail to see that.

Ah yes, because removing owners is so easy. Just ask United fans how their crusade to get rid of the Glazers is going.

Also, "Levy out" is such a boring take. Everyone knows Levy isn't great, but it's irrelevant. It's like yelling at clouds. He's not going anywhere, get over it.

Finally, it's not like we've been shit the whole time Levy has been here. Regardless of how much was down to him, he did break us into the top 6 from lower-midtable, the only team to do that without oil-money billions, then almost won us the league and CL on a zero net spend under Poch. Built the stadium which is now raining money. All while the owners of Everton, Villa, Leeds etc were destroying their clubs.

For the record I don't like Levy. He's a real-estate developer who knows fuck all about football and lucked out on Poch and Redknapp. But to act like he's the biggest problem in the club right now is frankly delusional. All of you wishing for him to be gone have to point out which other owner you would take from the league. And then realise that in all likelihood we'd likely just get a Boehly or an oil state.

He’s not even a good one of those based on information in and out of the public domain. He has no value of worth.
