He meant ENIC got the planning approvals for the hotel. Timing was a coincidence
But seriously who knows … Levy doesn’t care about intense pressing, possession, etc … He cares about real estate development …

100%
Levy's reputation will scare off any half decent/up and coming manager out there. He's always had that reputation but it has now been going on so long and he has fucked over many a good manager that any notions or promises of change from him are clearly bullshit and everyone knows it. He's dug himself a big hole and he can no longer escape it. Can't see us attracting top players and managers until he's gone. Everyone knows he promises everything and delivers nothing
Exactly.
Levy's a busted flush. He probably thinks he's being clever but in reality he's damaging his 'product' and has become a toxic presence to anybody outside the club.
You're neither English nor a lifelong Spurs fan, are you?
But you can take snapshots before the 23rd November that prove anything that is the problem with our form this season. The Ange In crowd can take the early wins where we won by a big margin and spin it into a story where we were playing fantastic unbelievable football. When the actual state of play is that all the matches except Everton were a lot closer than people think.
I think he'll be replaced in the Summer as he's not getting enough out of the squad and our game management is poor hence why we are constantly picking up injuries. My issue is that I don't see any value in sacking him mid season and I'm quite confident that our form will pick up once we get most of our injured players back so I'm not worried about relegation or things getting worse. In fact I think they will almost certainly improve once players are back.
But realistically, if we finish mid table and don't win the Europa league then this season was a complete failure and a new manager will takeover in the Summer. I just think Iraola/Frank are the obvious choices and neither will be available until the Summer and I'm happy to allow Ange to ride out this wave rather then letting Mason finish out the season.
I'm not trying to defend Ange. He has disappointed me with his squad management and his in-game substitutions all season. But I do think some of the abuse he gets on here is a bit OTT given how bad the injury situation is. I don't think a new manager improves us dramatically overnight. I think once our players are back then we'll see a dramatic improvement regardless of who the manager is.
Well put HampshireSpur. He's an odd guy. Really odd.
It's a very high reward job, and with that should go high risk. Not ... "fail and you're ok" .
The simps just can't see the evidence, can they?
An injury ravaged Newcastle beat our best 11 4-0 last season, lets not forget.
Also, an injury ravaged Chelsea walked all over our first 11 2-0 at the bridge.
Heck, the starting 11 Vs Fulham in THAT twatting was Vicario, Porro, Romero, Dragusin, Udogie, Johnson, Maddison, Kulusevski & Son. We brought on GLC, Richarlison, Bentancur, PEH and Werner.
Tell me again how it's only because we're playing with bare bones at the moment?
My memory says we were hanging around 13th in the PL before the injuries came about.
Also I’m sure gross didn’t get £400M spent on players in 18 months. Also I bet he didn’t get his tube ticket paid for either
I remember the look Sugar gave him at the press conference when he held up the ticket saying something about being a man of the people !!
lol
Comparing Celtic to Spurs is ridiculous. Even the elite teams in the PL have to fight most weeks for a win no matter who they play.
Celtic could probably start 10 men every week and still win the league
Another ‘casual’ fan?
I actually hope this IS the reason.
Because if it isn't the reason, then WTF IS the reason?
Will the end of season party consist of an Ange speach and everyone raising a glass of coolaide?
Ange cultist is my guess.
Yeah....but..... he's got POTENTIALHe still a spurs player then?
Yep. We were average to poor for nearly all of 2024.
I was ambivalent about sacking Ange but it's getting to the stage where he might seriously harm some of our young player's careers. He's actually a bit of a danger.
Most of you have made your mind up on Ange and don't think he's good enough and that's a totally reasonable opinion. He has made countless mistakes this season!
My question to all of you is. Whats the best outcome from sacking him right now during the season? We can't get Iraola/Frank/Silva so what manager do you want to come in now? Or are you happy to let Mason finish out the season? I understand the frustration with Ange but why are you so desperate to sack him now instead of May when we can atleast get Frank/Iraola and give them the Summer pre season to implement their ideas? Throwing in a new manager now feels like a Hail Mary where we are giving them a horrendous start - taking over a fatigued injury ravaged side with just 3 months left in the season and little to play for bar Europe! Surely the best long term decision is to get the right man in the Summer?

Lots of us think Ange is in part responsible for the excess level of injuries. And to be fair we have had almost two seasons with an excess level of injuries now under him (last season fewest games of all PL teams, yet still lots of injuries). And consistent with experience to date, many of us don't believe there will be a "got our players back" nirvana.
So the injuries excuse is true in that it does impact results (though not by as much as some Ange-inners pretend), but is unconvincing in part because it appears to a function of his methods.
That is Levy's job. But I think Benitez or some such would be hugely preferable to Ange for 4 months. Hugely. Actually think we have a decent chance of winning the Europa if we got someone like him in.
Some on this board underestimate how much money and challenge talks. Benitez would earn about £2m-£3m for this gig, perhaps with a £2m EL bonus?

It does matter because you lose to the worst teams at home, you now need to beat the best teams away from home to get back on track which we can't do and is why we are 14th.
Being 3 points off of 3rd after City when you have already dropped easy points and still have to play Chelsea, Liverpool and the inform teams like Forest, Bournemouth and Fulham at the time means nothing and proved to be the case.
