I think you have totally misread his post. Right now all the good players are with their national teams and after the tournos they will be wanting a holiday.
Also most of the people who run the football clubs are on holiday as well.


EPL done deals so far-zero.
But how long ago did we sack Jose?
the fact we still don’t have manager is either because they are all turning us down , or
The plan all along was to get Southgate or martinez after the Euros , and if this was the case then why sack Jose before the cup final? Everyone hated his cunting football but as much as we hate to admit it we had a better chance to win it with him over mason!
There is also my wild card theory that levy would get back poch if the chance came along.

I’ve agreed with your post but I don’t want Poch back

When you are as poorly run as us and a top manager with success at multiple stops wants to bring in his guys you need to listen and think about the fact that he has had success and we have not.

Plus where are any reports that he wanted to sack half the club staff? It seems like he wanted to bring in 7 of his people which is not a lot at all.

Again where are the reports that he wanted to have a huge budget?

Why are people inventing possibilities that not only aren't supported but also go against what is reported? What has Levy done to earn the benefit of the doubt to say he is the reasonable one in this case? What has Conte done to say that he is the one in the wrong?

I have no idea how people can defend Levy almost as if he has this brilliant staff in place that has brought us some amazing success.

If you love this club you wanted Conte and his staff in over Levys shit coaches and yes men. Period.
 
I'd like to see the list of players Conte was asking for.

Hopefully it will leaked to a hack.

Then we'll have a better idea of Loco Conte's masterplan for winning the PL with the famous Spurs....
The most mind boggling thing with Conte is, most followers of football know he is demanding, he has an expectation for his service, which of late is probably up there with the best in the business. I foolishly thought Levy going after him MUST mean there is a sign of intent but no.

We approach currently probably the best domestic league manager there is and tell him, "We have a project for you, its a task if you will. You get us top four, with no money, our best player wanting to leave and no fucking cheese room, oh but wait do you like golf? We have a full course, what you say Antonio?".

:levystare:
 
I would have to point out that the sale of youth to date is poor overall, because our academy is really not very good overall. The facilities are very good but it seems that Shity, Chelsea, United etc have the lions share of talent and we have the odd one or two that are ok to good level.

& What did Poch do with youth that Sherwood did not already do ? Reads like I am knocking Poch, but his addition of Winks to the ranks is again only an “ok” move.

I’m pointing out the obvious but if Levy is thinking we have a class of 92 in our ranks he is ever more ridiculous and that is no solution to buying the 3/4 first team squad players we need now.
What did poch do that Sherwood didn't? Made em look half decent for a start didn't he but without the support of levy at key moments with a big signing. At one point we had the youngest team in the prem. Levy was never going to hire Conte.
Yes right now maybe it's not looking great but likes of Skipp might be one to watch at least. But yeah that's about it
 
He's ballsed up a lot, but this feels genuinely different.
Yeah... it's not great at the moment, but I wouldn't be surprised if those exact words in that exact order have been written several times already this year alone!!

Thinking ESL, sacking Jose before a cup final and then taking 4 months to find a new manager...
 
Yes you’re right although it was made clear that Timmy was only a caretaker manager from within the club like Mason do Levy could save a few quid
I meant his sacking btw! I liked Spurs under Timmy. If things don't work out under Nuno, they should give Timmy a call again. Not enough gilets at matches these days...
 
Is this some sort of sick joke? I couldn’t think of a worse choice, other than Campbell
Haha. I loved Timmy and we can leave that other guy out of it. I had to remind myself who came in after Timmy.... I mean fair enough, the replacement went OK, but Timmy was doing well at the time. Never got a fair crack and then got the sack... We played better football under him than Mou.

There was no rhyme or reason to anything he did (Lennon @ #10, Sigurdson @ #6 FFS!); his crash and burn was inevitable... Half the team (most of the good players; Jan etc.) hated him too.

......Then imagine him being the one to conduct a cul of that squad in the summer; he'd have only kept all the 'pwoppa' lads.

Remember him hiding in the stands when we were getting slaughtered at Anfield?
 
It's a long time ago. Can't say I remember the Anfield thing.

Liked his time in charge though. Wasn't perfect. Things never are, but don't remember it being terrible at all. Used to enjoy the football we played and overall it wasn't bad at all. He got unfair stick in my opinion and still does.

There was a dark humour to it all... I'll give you that.

It was like watching a football version of The Office.
