The expectation level has been reduced to this by ENIC's tenure.I honestly think there's a proportion of our fanbase that feels more comfortable with our team being mid table also rans than a big 6 club challenging and competing for major honours.
They enjoy the lower expectations and prefer the plucky little underdog status and prefer to look up to our rivals rather look them in the eye as equals.
You're right. It really is weird.
ENIC only got away with it because of what happened under Sugar.
Sugar sat back and let the A list Zola's and Bergkamp's go elsewhere when their natural home at that time would have been Spurs.
ENIC have continued this preference for B and C list younger players on low wages.
That is now accepted by the majority of Spurs supporters but it wasn't before Sugar.
Spurs signed Waddle's, Gascoigne's and Lineker's before Sugar.
It's been written out of our manifesto by these parasitical owners who take everything and give the minimum requirement.
