Success sells itself.
I honestly think there are Liverpool fans who would kill for the club, bit Scientology almost.
No we are definitely not that.
If we don’t get the Spice Girls with Posh appearing as a hologram it will be the final straw , I will be there with my placard , unless it’s raining or a bit nippy out
Wasn’t Lady Gaga good enough? Very entitled fan you are, can’t believe how demanding you are.
I want it all , well everything bar footballing success , that is a dream no Spurs fan deserves
Not seeing the forest for the trees, lads.
The big picture is playing a match the following day on a pristine pitch.
Please note that Brentford almost nicked 3 points off of us on that rugby pitch.
Number of seriously contentious points there.
He had a “good academy to work from”? Did he? Where is the evidence of that? Our academy is nothing short of a joke.
The players you mentioned sure had big potential but would any manager have unlocked it the way Poch was able to? Very debatable.
Also, the reason we can attract top managers is nothing to do with any “vision” the board have put in place. It’s because, somewhat ironically, we are willing to pay up to attract the top managers, something ENIC have always been willing to do. However, it’s a flawed tactic, as it’s a roundabout way for them to cheap out of buying top players, as they seem to believe hiring a world class manager should be enough to make us a top team/appease the fans/make it look like they’re trying to make us competitive.
Do you remember how Sugar was attacked and hounded out? Not a corporation so shut the fuck up, no franchise, no roster, no inflatable fingers and no forty hot dogs pre match
As much as I commend that about them and we definitely are a v passive fanbase, there’s also nothing we can do to get ENIC out. Owners only sell once their price is met; Ashley’s the biggest proof of that and he would’ve sold sooner if they didn’t have those legal issues before he was allowed to sell Newcastle to them. There’s nothing we can do except hope the club isn’t completely too far gone when they do sell.
It is most definitely not sidelined.
We are spending more now than ever before, that's due to the extra revenue the stadium provides.
Wtf
So are everyone else. Literally everyone incl Villa, Bournemouth and Wrexham
On more and more shit based on short term plans and zero football vision because they can’t be bothered to put in place a long term football philosophy and instead would prefer glitzy managers on short term contracts whilst pretending to build for the future by signing young players who are never actually seen on the pitch.
All whilst delivering reactive, shit on a stick football. There’s zero entertainment value in being a Spurs fan at the moment and it’s not as if we sacrifice entertainment for success or for future planning. It’s just a constant reminder that we’re improving commercially whilst never seeing that translate to the football. All we have is short-term bursts of success, usually after appointing a new manager.
So no trophies, no plan, no clue, no hope. ENIC out motherfuckers.
Is or was?
You've spoken in past tense and then in present tense in the same sentence?, our academy isn't great now but it was back then, we had an academy which had been headed up by John McDermott and had some absolute gems coming though the youth system and guess who's idea it was to invest heavily into it....
You can ignore the facts and pursue your anti ENIC agenda until you're blue in the face but let's not try and argue against facts.
And that isn't up for debate, no-one said Poch doesn't deserve his flowers, my point is that everything should be attributed to Poch, as always people want to separate Poch from ENIC and want to attribute all the good things to Poch and the bad things to ENIC which is hilarious to me, the players, manager, staff, board were all one team and need to be praised as one as much as they need to be criticized.
No, the reason why we attract top named managers is because of our world standing and our year on year improvement so much so that we are now an established top 6 club, no amount of money is attracting any top manager 10 years ago for example.
It's the same reason why we sneaked into the ESL (whether you think that was right or wrong) it doesn't happen if Spurs aren't on the platform they are on now, again that's down to the direction the board has taken this club.
They’re getting progressively worse so in about five right backs time I’m fancying my chances of playing for Spurs
Well ask them, most of them are on here defending him.
