Great but what we would prefer is irrelevant, you ought to focus on what is the most likely event to happen.

You seem upset by my observations which was never my intention.

I think the European Super League plans Mr Levy was making may be at the root of some of the issues the club is having.

It has also occurred to me that can there be a top flight club, or many Championship clubs, that have a chairman or director that Levy hasn't upset at some point in the last 22 years with his methods?

Then there are the managers, players and agents he may have upset. Do these people not talk to each other and compare notes?

ENIC have managed to fool most people, most of the time, within the Spurs emporium. We seem to have reached a tipping point regarding that.

Is it the same in the wider football community I wonder?

We are having 2 different conversations here so I'm wondering why you quoted me? I have no idea what your observations have to do with my original point, seems like you went on a tangent.

You said this;
"At the end of the day this board aren't going anywhere"

I have expressed my views regarding this board of directors and how they may be perceived by many inside and outside THFC.

I know you love them; you have made this clear and never hide from it.

I think their race may be run unless they have something up their sleeve.

Change is coming one way or another.

I dunno, perhaps try and argue in context...?

The board aren't going anywhere so expecting a manager who is non compliant with the board just doesn't make sense.

In regards to your point I'm happy to answer it, we all know their race is run and you can hope and pray that they will suddenly up and leave in a cloud of smoke ain't gonna happen, people don't like it or like me saying it bui it's the truth. Folk just need to come out of their delusional little bubbles as far as ENIC are concerned.

Right…so instead of us voicing our legitimate concerns over the ENIC fuck ups, we should all grin and bear it, and just lower our expectations instead?

Fuck sake, sort your head out.

It's particularly ironic because for years we were told to lower our expectations until the new stadium arrived, and then we could legitimately expect to finally challenge for trophies and titles again.

Now, we're being told to lower our expectations EVEN FURTHER!!....by our own fans for fuck sake!

It's nothing short of taking us for mugs and downright taking the piss.

Well yeah he eventually fell out with the board, that's not up for debate, every manager of every club eventually does when they get sacked.

The point is though you implied that we want another high risk manager when we have seen that these sort of managers do not work with this board, we've always done better with low risk/unknown appointments Poch/Jol/Redknapp etc...

Sorry but Low Risk is never League winning. It's a constant 'buildup'. I know many are happy with top 4 finishes, I am not. Spur's has made enough to have resources to improve the Team but its mostly reinvested in Levy and Co's Real Estate empire. Do you Love Football or do you Love The idea of Football. If it's about revenue then I cannot understand how we end up getting whipped by teams with half of our revenue.

Levy is a curse on Football. The bullshit he has sold us just doesn't cut it anymore. If Conté was given 2 CBs, a CAM and a ST of his choice we'd be way better off. Instead he got saddled with what was given to him. The same happened to Poch and Jose.

Getting a world class coach is a great step toward silverware. There's a reason Roma are taking the very same manager we believed is anti-football and ending up fighting for silverware. They backed him. Levy believes a manager needs to back him.

LEVY OUT!!!

It's the beginning of the end for ENIC at THFC. I think we agree on that.

That is unless they change their ways of course.

The Levy out chants are part of the club culture now. That means every time things are not great Levy will be getting the heat rather than the manager, Dof or players.

The spotlight is on Levy forever now as long as he remains involved in any capacity.

That will do for me.

I have never thought things are as bad as they seem tbh.

Conte is easily the worst managerial appointment since Gross.

The top four finish at the expense of Woolwich felt good but the style of play and tactics were always going to end in tears.

With some decent transfer business in the summer Spurs can still compete at the top end.

What is a high risk manager in your book?

Low risk got us closest to winning the Premier League we've ever had.

Have you not been paying attention under this ownership?

The Grandes Écoles in France don’t count in these rankings but they are the most prestigious places to study in France.

But in any case, as with the US and China, it’s possible to have some people at an exceptionally high level and most people at a very low level.

Tell me that doesn’t ring true.

I’m not being sanctimonious. You can joke about anything and flavs tweet is funny because he’s making fun of itk. But when people are genuinely suggesting fans go to levy’s home or saying Cullen turned down Pochs advances and that’s why he’s sacked or whatever… then maybe people need to take a break.

Maybe some of these things are jokes that I don’t understand ?

Justin isn’t “genuinely suggesting” anything. It’s obviously a joke. A joke in bad taste perhaps but then Flav’s joke about getting violated in a bathroom stall ain’t exactly classy either. Listen to the Fighting Cock podcast and you’ll see Flav is all about lowbrow Justin-like humor.

The real reason Cullen doesn’t like Poch is well documented. It’s cause Poch publicly rebuked Cullen in the press on some of her BS PR spin.
