Seems to be his claim to fame. He maybe the reason we played him and kept him and for that well done but it’s not enough to build a career on. After all the talent itself is Kane’s.

No LeCoq is a LevyBot. Stop talking to the AI. It learns by interacting with you - which will help it get the nuclear launch codes and end the world.
Why does it call people dim? Because the Levybot must follow its programming.
Unless your Tanguy Ndombele I’m not sure that’s going to make a big difference.
How many clubs will out-invest ENIC this summer?
My guess:
City
Woolwich
United
Newcastle
Liverpool
Chelsea
Villa
Of those, only Villa might end up with a wage structure similar to ENIC, the others will dwarf what they are willing to offer players to come.

He does, aye. Not surprised that this hasn’t been mentioned more in this thread.
A couple of months ago, Sherwood told everyone that we prioritized the league over cups and all of a sudden, a certain group on here held him up as the voice of reason.
“No longer paid by the club, so no reason to toe the line anymore. Man speaks the truth, etc”.
I wonder if the same posters still hold the same opinion now he’s saying things in defence of Levy?
Rhetorical question as I already know the answer….
'His Mob'
Not being funny, but you claimed you was ENIC OUT the other day.....twice
Were you telling lies again?
The entire podcast is called 'I find it difficult to blame Levy for Spurs' problems, imagine using a snippet from something that totally contradicts the message you've been so desperate to get across.
But yeah pay roll and all that, silly bollocks must be getting paid the same amount as us for being ENIC shills.
Are you getting a pay rise this season? I am. I’m now up to a club shop keyring a month. And next season they are going to have pictures of players who still play for us. Fuck yes!The entire podcast is called 'I find it difficult to blame Levy for Spurs' problems, imagine using a snippet from something that totally contradicts the message you've been so desperate to get across.

Yeah but I'm ENIC in now we've got Big Ange
Don't worry this fanbase will catch up soon when we are out of our perceived bad moment we currently find ourselves in
What you didn't get the Beyonce tickets?
Levy personally handed me the ones for next weekend in the stadium
If we take this story at face value for the purposes of discussion, it has real implications for the DoF model.
Taking the individual characters out, essentially we have an Owner saying to the Head Coach that he has reservations about playing an Academy product because he's not quite good enough. When the Head Coach queries the Owner's credentials for making this judgement, he defers to the DoF. It is then suggested by the DoF & Owner that a sale of the Academy player to Leicester may be a better route for the club.
The Head Coach refuses to back down, insisting on selecting the player. He has a good run in the team until the end of the season, which lays the foundations for what will be a stellar career, becoming the best player at the club and England captain.
Now, according to the DoF model, it is the DoF who is the custodian of the medium & long term future of the club. But here it is the Head Coach who, in challenging the judgement of the DoF, is acting in the best interests of the club.
My point is that management structures may look great on a whiteboard, but ultimately it is the judgements of individuals about eg the potential & professionalism of players that is most important.
Sherwood is a bit of a plank, and Levy entrusted Franco Baldini with spending the Bale money because of his supposed expertise in evaluating players. Apart from Eriksen, it can be argued that none of Baldini's Magnificent Seven justified the money we spent on them.
Meanwhile, the bloody-minded stubbornness of Sherwood kicked in. He gave Harry Kane, a player who cost the club nothing, a proper run in the team, and the player's own determination, talent & will to succeed ultimately did the rest.
In short, it's another example of Levy backing his manager's decision.
In some ways it was in Levys interest though.
Keep free academy product or spend 35 million on first team striker.
West Ham probably spunking Rice money.
They will actually do really well out of that Rice sale.
All this manager talk is a perfect distraction away from the fact we still don't have a structure in place that removes Levy from football decisions and there isn't any pressure on the club to invest with any serious ambition.
Somehow there is still this BS narrative that Conte was backed when the reality is that the players signed for him to win football games with totaled 150m over 3 windows. And that 150 was split over 7 players.
I'll be honest, I was willing to watch and see what the idea was with the restructure and new identity thing they were talking about.
As of now, it looks like bringing Munn who doesn't understand football, and one coach from Celtic that wants to control all the recruitment, then most likely giving him a mid-table budget at best.
Doesn't matter how good Poste is as a coach if the club doesn't want to do what it takes to win and with Levy around, it looks like it still doesn't. It's looking very amateur to say the least.
That's not what Sherwood said tho. He just said that the DOF snaked off to the owner to put pressure on him to play Soldado.
A DOF model is like a manager only model, in that it will only ever be as good as the people doing the job. that anecdote, if it's true (Sherwood has probably added to that story over the years and Baldini isn't around to contest is he?) just furthers the idea that Levy isn't great at understanding what type of football people he needs around him.
Imagine being in a state as a Chairman where you have this clown Baldini and Tim fucking Sherwood as the people you need to base your decisions around?
It definitely didn't make it sound like he didn't.
It's also another story that shows how poor Levy is at choosing his staff.
Imagine if you have got yourself in the kind of bind where you need to make your decisions between a clown that wants to sell Kane for 600k and Sherwood who hadn't coached a game in his life?
As a % of their income. I wouldn't be surprised if at least 19 teams outspend us.
Absolutely.
Couldn't give a fuck about squabbling over Postecoglou being a good coach or not. The club has gone 70 days without a structure that defines what their ambitions are.
