What's the matter with you, she's doing sexy poses.
Brother it's 9:20 in the morning.
Imagine the headline ''Randy Mandy takes over at Spurs.''
https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/56...el-levy-tottenham/?source=user_shared_articleWhat next for Daniel Levy and Tottenham?
There is very little prospect of a full sale any time soon, and no real likelihood of the ENIC era coming to an end. What is on the cards, however, is the sale of a stake in the club. Tottenham have been frank about their openness to new investment. Four months ago, when the club released their accounts for the 2022-23 season, there was an accompanying statement. “To capitalise on our long-term potential, to continue to invest in the teams and undertake future capital projects, the club requires a significant increase in its equity base,” it said towards the end. “The board and its advisors, Rothschild & Co, are in discussions with prospective investors.”
Failed to get external investment and failed to secure naming rights. Failed to buy new players to compete

Missing the game today as I’m on a family holiday in Dartmouth. Guess who’s got his ridiculously oversized yacht moored in the harbour? £250 million that could be spent on players
Tom Boehly?

Settled once and for all.
Another window when we haven’t signed a a top top player. Quite used to it now and yes I know Levy has built a 21st century stadium, but can he build one in Stoke on a cold wet Tuesday night?
Define top quality.
Unless you know who the new owners are and their business model and intentions these polls aren’t much value. The 42% are all assuming a new owner will be better than ENIC.
Trust me, that is very far from certain.
Likewise, the 58% are all assuming a new owner will be worse
To be fair though, I would say the 58 - 42 split is fairly reflective of the current split on here, so I wouldn't argue with it. Bit of an Okey Cokey thing really though. If that poll was conducted in April 2023 during the end of season fiasco the results would have been wildly different.
Did Sky conduct a similar poll for the rest of the PL clubs? Be interesting to see the results if they did. Like a league table of the most popular/unpopular owners, so to speak.

If we want to become a serious club, need new owners.
If we're happy being bang average, all Hail Levy!

Pretty much wraps it up
Happy with perennial 4th to 8th finishes with 0 trophies and remaining Woolwich and Chelsea's bitch then ENIC are your guys.

If you are truly Levy out you can’t be anything other than Ange in.
If Levy can keep shifting blame onto managers he will never really be held to account on delivering what he charges the fans.
He’s about to pull something scandalous this summer and people already turning on the manager instead of looking in the right direction.

The problem you have is one is a hell of a lot easier to get rid of than the other. You could easily say the same about Lange as well, like other DoF he'll get a load of crap (starting to see it already) but its an almost impossible job.
Everything is make do and mend. Yes we spend money but overpaying on middling prem players because we dont have the intention to go for the best is pissing most of it away.
Anyone can see the underlying issue unless you're totally on a wind up or acting the edge lord. How many DoF and managers do we need to plough through? Its why i've always felt we need a manager who can get the team playing above the sum of its parts or someone who is in the right place at the right time. May or may not be Ange but i'm not hopeful for him after the window to date i'm afraid.

Although I respect you highly and enjoy reading many of your sensible posts...this isn't one of them I'm afraid.
Levy has employed some great managers, but hasn't adequately backed any of them and has been rightly called out for it. When he employs a suspected dud, he needs calling out for that also.
My issue with this appointment was that it dragged expectations of the fanbase so low that qualifying for the formerly much derided Europa League and early exits from both domestic cups was hailed as some kind of success. A perfect scenario for loser at the top.
None of our other recent appointments would have been given such an easy ride, and neither would they have expected to.
