It’s just bollocks I’m afraid . If you are supporting a team in division 2 the fans would love to get promoted to division 1 or win the Johnson’s paint trophy . The owners are equally keen for that success other wise the only manager who gets sacked would be from about 4 or 5 clubs .
Even fans of conference league clubs want to win promotion or nick the FA vase . The game is about dreaming of glory , might be different competitions but all fans should have a dream and all owners should be aspiring to win
Wise up man and get off your high horse.
'The game is about glory' ffs
We are better positioned than ANY club in the premier league with what we have to actually challenge and succeed - we just lack the owners willing to go all the way to do it.
I want Spurs to win like I have done for 35 years supporting them and spending money supporting them only for that money to line a couple of rich wankers pockets.
Do you actually think that fans on here - many supporting this club for decades or a half century who want success don't deserve it or should demand it?
None of us support Spurs for the trophies but an occasional one for a club of our stature and a plan of attack to at least challenge the REAL big clubs should be an absolute bare minimum.
I connect with plenty about the club - our parasitic zero ambition owners are not part of that connection.
EXACTLY - they have it plastered all over the place the wankers.
Well said brother.
Rightious anger delivered with passion.
We've had enough of these cunts haven't we?
If anything our apathy has encouraged them.
I want tomorrow to be better than today. Everyone does.
This is why we need a system which promotes sporting competitiveness without oligarchy.
Spurs under ENIC aim for 4th at best.
That is not good enough any more.
Levy has created the situation, that has led to him no longer being fit for purpose, by building the megadome and increasing the expectations, (and the fucking ticket prices), by doing so.
His greed has caused all of this.
Please stop apologising for this crap.
The game is about glory is cool but it’s just a slogan.
Most people on this board will say the Poch years were the best or among the best years they can remember. Was there glory there?
Or were the Ramos years better because we won a league cup?
There is SO much more to supporting a team than winning things and most normal every day fans who aren’t internet weirdos can see that.

THFC are a special club.
THFC are not just any club.
ENIC's tenure has led many to think we shouldn't expect the best.
This club has been as big and as successful as ANYONE.
Liverpool were in the second division before Shankly got hold of them. The ground was falling down and they were a joke.
Shankly's legacy kept them at the top for 30 years.
Daniel Levy and ENIC have fed off THFC's glorious past and given us fuck all that isn't owned by them or the bank.
They've given us structured debt and 1 League Cup in a quarter of a century.
We are Tottenham, Super Tottenham, From the Lane.
Surely there's a reasonable middle ground. Nobody is going to say that we're glory hunters, but expecting the odd trophy here or there isn't exactly being unreasonable.
It's all flavors of the same idea.
But I just can't emphasize enough the extent to which the NFL franchise ideology means a world where there just aren't any underdogs and thereby just isn't any glory, not in the way football supporters are used to understanding it.
The size, stability and permanence of owner profits are the sole guiding light. It's awful.
So my biggest emphasis in these conversations is not so much that we as fans ought to support one style or faction of ownership over another or one set of financial regulations over another, it's that we as fans have a different and independent interest in all of this, and we should not forget that or be ashamed of advocating for it.
They have nowhere to hide since the stadium was opened - they are making money hand over fist and have done nothing but slash the wage bill and bought kids on mickey mouse money instead of stumping up the cash to catch up and be competitive.
Internet weirdos eh.
You are an arrogant prick ye know that.
We've compromised with these wankers for too long.
It's time to get angry and keep the spotlight and pressure on them.
One could say - Levy has great experience in ensuring that we have proper PSR room. Very important to still maintain it even with oil money injection
I support Spurs as I have an abnormally high level of Serotonin & my doctor prescribed me Tottenham Hotspur as treatment
Oh he definitely cares.
He cares about the impact negative publicity will or could have on future sponsorship deals, revenue streams and other non football related investment opportunities.
If you think Daniel Levy wouldn't much prefer a compliant, happy clapping fanbase to a disruptive,angry, headline grabbing fanbase then I think you're very much mistaken
Feels like this article has been leaked out to gauge reaction to such a thing happening. Worth mention that this journalist isn’t a club friendly journo now I’ve seen who it is. Matt Hughes used to write for the Times and Mail and he never wrote anything positive about us. I’d be interested to see how many articles he’s written on Staverley in the past especially when at the Mail.
The Supporters Trust have helped Levy to achieve a lot of what he has done.
The creation of the Trust by ENIC was to counter the collapse of faith in the board under Sugar.
Actions speak louder than words.
ENIC's actions have always been the reduction of benefits and concessions to supporters, the increase in the price of attending matches and the dilution of THFC's tradition of winning trophies and signing / retaining the best players.
These people will not go quietly.
They will need to be persuaded.
It will not end well unless they sell up or invest like never before.
