I wonder if there is somethng in contract saying must get euro football each season
and that is the reason Levy has not sacked him yet, if we don't get euro football he has to go without or with reduced payoff

that makes sences why Levy hasn't sacked him yet
I'd be amazed if there isnt and suspect thats one of the reasons he's still here. I just dont see us appointing a 59 yr old with no top league experience on a 4 year deal without certain targets/break clauses.

Our counter attacks seem to stop too quickly, the ball gets played wide, then the wide player that receives the ball tends to stop, either passes backwards or sideways. Then the opposition all get back into defensive positions, and our counter attack is over. Always seems that the players don't bust a gut to join the counter attack and get numbers forward quickly.

We used to be good at counter attacking with previous managers, even during times when Kane was injured.
 
There are enough idiot, loser fans still supporting him, who have not joined the justified outrage of Baldcunt's negligence to push him to take action.

This whole episode has convinced me we need a purge of the loser/mediocrity fan club that's infested this fanbase.

They need to be rejected and hounded out.
What’s the plan then? What are you doing to express your outrage to Levy?

Last answer really interesting

Asked if the players lacked clarity on the game plan to execute it.

Answer: Nobody lacks clarity, if anything people have said it's too transparent. You need belief and conviction to play this way and it's really challenging...

Sounded a bit to me like some of the players maybe decided they didn't like or want to follow the game plan.


yeah interesting , probably this first official acknowledgement that someone or some aren't happy with the system.

yes a system can be too simple, too obvious. That's not always a bad thing if you have the perfect players to execute it , but if you don't you end up getting the results we do, Amorim is also having that issue this season.

Who the fuck do you think you are that you can 'hound out' and 'reject' people just because they see things differently to you? Who put you in charge of what opinions fans are allowed to have? You support how you choose, and let others do the same. The fanbase is not a 'thinky dictatorship' (thank god).

Going to the next protest (everyone should).

Not sucking off this manger on social media (too many still are and it IS monitored).

Calling Baldcunt out on social media.

The most important thing - for fans who are wasting their money on this trash - is for everyone to be unified and vocal in Baldcunt's beloved stadium.

Call him out LOUD.

That's his Achilles.

Interesting that you're out the gate with a poorly veiled, lame accusation tho.

Suss.

You go on the list. 👀
 
I've never known a manager chat so much shit. He's like a middle manager at some branch of the carphone warehouse just making stuff up as he goes along and talking bollocks to completely disinterested staff.
He talks by looking at the ground. From the technical area he does not talk by looking at the ground. I have never seen a manager do virtually nothing during a game and have never seen such a passive, uninvolved coaching staff on the sidelines.
 
I stopped going a few years back but still know people that go and some that dont. Most of them arent rabble rousers demanding sackings every 5 minutes but i dont know 1 that doesnt want him gone either now or end of the season. Problem is the overiding feeling just seems to be complete indifference. Long time fans have just been worn down.
There's a website over here that satirizes college football. One of the characters in a skit was wearing an Auburn jersey and talking to a therapist about being their fan. The doctor tells him he still looks relaxed despite how bad they are doing and he says "I've been dead inside since week 4." Just about sums up the Spurs fan experience for me this season.

Wasn’t poorly veiled. Was just asking. Sounds like you are doing a lot. Now I know you aren’t just being a moan on here.

I’m not planning to be down again this season, so not going to be protesting personally.

More than happy to be on any list of yours - I can’t describe how many fucks I don’t give.

Astonishing arrogance 🤣. You can't hound out fans who disagree with you for god's sake.

P.s. yes sack Ange and get rid of Levy asap.

If you don’t think every issue is black and white, this forum isn’t for you, or I, right now. No grey areas allowed.

Constant vitriol poured in the direction of proper Spurs fans who don’t agree completely with the shouty people.

To paraphrase the quote that was never uttered “there used to be a forum there”.

I’m going to be honest, I think we’ve seen since Brentford the players aren’t really playing front foot, attacking football anymore.

They are doing some kind of weird, incoherent unplanned mess. I think of their own volition as well.

I quite like the idea of this Thinky Dictatorship.

He can stand at the south stand bar with a clipboard asking people questions and if they don’t answer right he chases them out of the stadium. (I’m assuming pronouns today)

And then repeat 55000 times.

Be like something off the Benny Hill show.

As I've aged, I've realised that it's normally a sign of stupidity, or perhap lack of wisdom is a better way to express it. The wisest people seem to be on another intellectual level, they can normally accept (albeit at times reluctantly and often feeling baffled) that others hold different opinions to them, that those opinions are valid in those other people's thinking, and that those people are entitled to have those opinions. As for those who can't do that, well I don't know whether it's stupidity, narcissism, too much time in echo chambers, or perhaps just not having the resilience to cope with not getting what they want, but the number of people in the world who are capable of accepting opinions of others that differ from their own definitely seems to be shrinking, not increasing. :(

I try - there are plenty of people on here whose views I find ridiculous, and some just plain trolling, and I call them out from time to time, but I'd never try to 'hound them out' of the fanbase, they are entitled to have and express their opinions the way we all should be.

The black and white thing is frustrating too - the amount of hyperbole on this forum is about as insane as the lack of nuance, and understanding thereof. That frustrates me because often people probably do have valid things to say, but those things get lost in hyperbolic nonsense. :(
