I genuinely piss my pants at the nonsense spouted in this forum......people cried their eyes out that we don’t spend big like our rivals..we don’t pay the wages, we buy cheap punts.
Levy Out
Then Levy joins the super league to give these twats their 300M a year transfer windows and suddenly every cunt is grass roots and wants to use the kids and pay peanuts.
Levy Out
A few weeks later and we’re sucking Chelsea’s balls again

You can change your club but you will never change the fact that you're a cunt of a human. Your parents must be ashamed of you.

Don't posters who support other clubs and come here just to troll get perma banned and deleted from existence?
After extensive research over many decades scientists have come to the shocking conclusion that football fans are fickle.
Welcome back matey.
Will he won't he join in when they make hissing of the gas ovens
Someone start a poll....
Someone start a poll....
So from your list
-Wont sell players that are obviously not good enough. Won't sell players for below his valuation of them, plus players have to want to leave.
-Wont fire the manager quick enough- Before Mourinho would be argued that he sacked managers too early, and your problem further down is he sacked Jose too early
-Managerial hirings mixed at best - Is that not the same with all clubs ?
-Doesnt back the manager, doesnt buy their top choices - Can't disagree here
-Doesnt buy older players - If the occasion requires it he will, e.g. Van der Vaart, Sissoko, Naybet, Saha, Nelsen, Adebayor, but agree in the main will go for players with anticipated sell on value.
-Doesnt buy what we need, rather what is cheap - Goes back to previous point of not buying top choices, does not mean we don't buy what we need
-Constant meddling in team affairs - Bollocks
-Rips the fans off at every opportunity - Can't disagree at all
-Damages our chances of winning, sacks the manager before a final, sells players from under the manager, buys players the manager doesnt want - Drivel especially the selling of players, and covered previously
-Penny pinches on salaries and transfers so we often lose out on the best players - No doubt we have lost some players due to his antics
-Youth system failing. 1 top talent during his tenure. Spurs struggle to fill the home grown, and English national criteria every year - We have not failed to fill home grown criteria during tenure, in fact for good portion we were supplying half the team to England. Who have Liverpool (well TAA is all I can think of) or Woolwich had come through their system. Chelsea's model is very different to ours and almost every club going, stockpile loads of players, loan them out and hope some stick. Rules are coming in to stop this practice
Replies in bold.
What I see the difference between Tottenham and Chelsea. Chelsea is a football club with football as its primary aim, we are now just part of a property portfolio, and expected to return a profit. Where I agree with you is under ENIC ultimate football success is not the aim, but doing enough to maximise revenues on minimum possible investment and give a good return to the owners is the goal, and why ENIC need to be replaced.

One where the owners have been involved with suppressing their own people and actively making the world a worse place.

-Wont sell players that are obviously not good enough
Agree with that, it’s stupid and it makes the squad stale.
-Wont fire the manager quick enough
In the case of Jose yes 100%. Not so sure on others, Redknapp was perhaps 1 year to soon.
-Managerial hirings mixed at best
Correct although Chelsea’s are somewhat as well.
-Doesnt back the manager, doesnt buy their top choices
Has done with Jose mostly. Prior sometimes.
-Doesnt buy older players
to be fair we Levy works under Lewis so he has to think about resale
-Doesnt buy what we need, rather what is cheap
I would say at points yes and no.
-Constant meddling in team affairs
A lot of rumours about this, let’s just say I want a DoF.
-Rips the fans off at every opportunity
haha yes.
-Damages our chances of winning, sacks the manager before a final, sells players from under the manager, buys players the manager doesnt want
Not always, mixed.
-Penny pinches on salaries and transfers so we often lose out on the best players
Difficult to compete with the likes of Liverpool, the new stadium was about being able to generate profit to spend more. We will see.
-Youth system failing. 1 top talent during his tenure. Spurs struggle to fill the home grown, and English national criteria every year
A lot of teams fail at this, we have Skipp and a few others but we could better.
I would say on balance you make good points but are harsh. For me the Stratford and ESL are far bigger stains on Levy.
That's hilarious!
I didn't actually bother reading the article so would have missed this comedy gold. Thank you.
Ah the labour supporters and remainers are out in force today. Still cant handle you lost brexit, and you got stuffed in national and local elections
People are having a go but how’s he wrong? Our chairman couldn’t win a raffle. Having owners like the Sheik & Roman are the difference to building a winning side. Even the late chairman at Spurs is better than our living chairman!
How is he wrong when his premise is that everyone should switch to Chelsea fans? You are confused by how that is wrong?
As for the points he makes as mentioned he ignores the fact that Roman is a criminal backed by Putin and able to take whatever money out his likes with zero concern about long term financial stability, FFP rules or regular business practices that a non-criminal has to worry about.
Roman can spend 200m whenever he wants because if it doesn't work out and Chelsea can't return any of that money back to him he just goes back to Russia and steals 200m more. ENIC, for all their many faults, can operate like that. They can't blow 200m and say oops, oh well. That is not a viable way to operate a legitimate business.
If you want to use a comparable to us to complain about ENIC, Liverpool is the example because their ownership is much more comparable to ours. There is a lot to criticize ENIC for, they have been awful owners, but crying that they don't run us like a criminal with a foreign governments backing is not one of them.
What a silly thread
Everyone knows there is only a thin gap between ourselves and chelsea
Holy crap is was ridiculous when you cried about this the first time now you are doubling down by crying about it in another thread?
I think they don't necessarily expect success but they have performance expectation... eg top half if you've finished 11th last three years. Ours are too lofty, maybe...
Fuck the fuck off you absolute helmet
He's wrong about switching to Chelsea you stupid cunt.
