C’mon Danny boy, don’t waste your time with the riff raff here. You’ve got a manager to find and appoint, no more time to waste!
Listen, I get where you're coming from, I really do. One of the big things that tore at me through the whole last season is that I do recognize that (pre covid) Daniel Levy is a hell of a businessman where football is not involved.
Now, with all that comes the next bit. I've been really following Spurs for 18 years or so now. And from where we used to be to now has been incredible. However, when you build a consistency when it comes to football, then the expectations of the fans also go up and stay up. Daniel Levy fails to recognize that we as Spurs fans don't want to risk being allowed to slide back in to the mid table, and be some second part to a bigger project, like the stadium, which it now feels like. The propoganda films don't help either.
I can't speak for anyone else, but personally my frustrations lay solely with the footballing side, and at this point it is hard to look at other clubs who have had owners who are willing to "invest" when they need to make the final push.
We were so close a few years ago, and when you have clubs like Liverpool, who's owners invested when they needed to, it brought them a European Cup (including two finals in a row) and a League title, while we tried to recycle a squad and decided to get rid of the manager instead of the players.
I'm not asking for investment such as what some of the other clubs do. I recognize that throwing 100 million for a player is something that Levy will only do when he'll freezes over.
What I am asking for is some investment. If we were smart and made signings the way Leicster have in the last few seasons then we would be in a totally different place. We've had our fingers burnt in the past with players, but while other owners and managers understand that sometimes it doesn't work out, Daniel Levy let's the business side outweigh the footballing side and that's where the issue lies.
If people haven't figured it out yet, we're being bled dry to make ENIC rich.
Record deal with Nike
Record deal with AIA
Increased TV money from PL
4 straight seasons of CL TV money
Financed a stadium that increases match day income to record levels across Europe whilst easily repaying the debt.
Some of the highest season ticket prices in the world
But we keep getting fed the line that we're poor and we can't compete.
Bullshit. Either ENIC are too fucking stupid to work around FFP compared to other teams or theyreflat out fucking lying. And I'd hazard it's the latter.
They want maximim income gained from minimum investment. Don't mistake the training facility as some gift. They want to churn out youngsters as a product line. Sign 50 up, train them until they're 18, pick 5 decent looking ones for the first team, play them for a few years then flog them for £10-£15m
The remaining 45 either get released or sold for peanuts.
It makes money. Of the 5 that hit the first team, almost always they'll be more Mason and Winks than Kane and King.
Everything ENIC does is to line ENICs pocket

The overarching brand image is now their biggest asset too.
People say "all money has gone back into the club". Yes.... But only in the same way you pour fertiliser into your crop and watch it grow.
They bought spurs for a few million and now it's worth 1.5 billion. That profit is ready to line their pockets the minute they decide to sell up.
They have a scotch egg factory just outside Bury St Edmonds. It broke even in 2017.
They are lying and embezzling money out of the club by 'legal' means
A work colleague of mine's son has just received an email from the club with an invitation to apply for a season ticket. He was over 19,000 places down the waiting list!!
This is fantastic news

Had a thought about how we can hurt ENIC.
42,000 season ticket holders go to every game and, as a protest don't buy a thing while there.
No food, no drink, no merchandise.
42,000 taking the place of other punters who would pour money into the club on matchdays.
Don't give up your seat if you've already paid, ENIC don't care if you're there or not if you've already paid.
Don't relinquish your season ticket because some other twerp will take it and keep lining the greedy sucubus pockets.

It has gone down even lower. A mate of mine who is in the 27,000s has just been offered one. Wowsers
No food or drink is just self-purgatory, a beer is what most fans deserve for going to a game.
I would prefer a turn your back on Levy. 60 000 people facing the other way would make a real public statement and capture media attention. Say at an agreed time, everyone does it, can you imagine the scenes going viral?
Fookin hell!
You think they give a flying fuck what way you face?
They ONLY care about a steady income to feed off.
Have a beer in a pub in the area. Have a filthy burger from a van.
They don't but it will get a lot more media attention than not having a beer or a pie. Nobody will seriously do that either so it's not going to happen.
It is in different phases though so people that far down might be offered one if it goes down that far. No guarantee it will though.
God I'd love to see Danny boy sweating as the ST waiting list is dropping that low. Should really make him reconsider Nuno (spoiler; it won't).
They'll be more sweat to come, don't worry. It's all going downhill from here.
The new season is going to be a fucking mess. Honestly, if people thought 20/21 was bad then they haven't seen anything yet - especially with fans there to voice their anger.
Also nobody should forget the timing of Conte rumours with the season ticket renewal deadline. The more we've seen since then the more I don't believe it was a coincidence.
Yeah, there's nothing to suggest things are going to be different this summer, just watch, well struggle to shift the crap again. It'll be same old, same old.
