Except that nobody's even said that.
23 years, 1 trophy.
It has changed, what don't you get.
Of course nobody said thanks Levy for cleaning your own mess up
' Djed Spence in the summer, a player signed by managing director of football Fabio Paratici and his scouting department purely because they felt he ticked every box for a Conte wing-back.'Wrong.
I'll post this again;
Conte on Spence: ‘The club decided to buy him’
Antonio Conte has described Tottenham Hotspur’s new wing-back Djed Spence as a “club” signing. Spurs on Tuesday completed a move for Spence. The 21-year-old has signed a five-year contract with the club that includes an initial fee of £12.5million plus a further £7.5million in add-ons.theathletic.com
Spence is an investment of the club,” Conte said. “The club wanted to do it. I said okay, this player is young but he showed he can become a good, important player for us.
Paratici scouted him, the club asked Conte "Shall we sign him ?"
Conte said "OK"
How people can interpret that as Spence being signed against Conte's wishes I've no idea.

Not 3rd in Spending this year. Why the random cherry pick of stats for last 2 years. Spurs achieved top 4 under Conte and instead of pushing on, they have been blown out the water by UTD, Chelsea, and Liverpool now. Even West Ham and Newcastle invested more in the Summer, then of course the gooners that were behind us and lead the net spend in the league over the last 2 years.
So like I said,
Because the stadium has only been open, with fans, for the last two years.
The only thing he has done that could be put forward as a success is the stadium , the footballing side is abject failure considering length of tenure .
Everyone had a stadium closed during covid.
The only thing ?
So we should have appointed Howe instead of Conte?
Now you have introduced a new topic. The lack of a trophy. Now I agree that Levy has not helped with the quest for a trophy. I do not think there is a quest for a trophy. I think it was Mourinho that let it slip that whilst there was a big bonus for getting top 4 there was very little for winning a trophy. From the players attitudes highlighted in the Conference last season, I assume they have little bonus for winning a trophy as well.
Nobody had a new stadium that would treble their revenue waiting to be filled.
You've just answered your own question.
Would you prefer to have had Leicester’s last ten years or ours . I would have preferred League title and FA cup triumph. They came from a far worse place in half the time , so forgive me for not thinking Levy has done a great job he has not .
If the transfer policy is to target young talent and develop them then yes, we should have hired Howe.
