Heck of a job you’re doing, Levy

Not sure on the maths but the logic holds
That’s assuming no squad players. But yes, on ten first team players alone the maths works out.
Have to take into account though, not only the squad issue, but all we ever see is a total wage for football operations. They could have ten times the staff we do and pay them twice as much money. I doubt it, but there’s a possibility.
Nevertheless, even though this gap may have been made to look as wide as it is for sensationalism, there’s no doubt whatever gap is there is too large. Levy needs to get his big boy pants on, or let another bigger boy have a go.
Who’ve we bought from in the last two years? That’s who we usually sell to. A peculiar set of events but one that has to be about Enic saving money.
As I read somewhere else.
Conte had us above them just 3 years ago. They were floundering on Thursday nights as we took they're CL spot. We were ranked the wealthier club
They then showed real ambition signing Top class players for Big fees on Big wages.
We sold our best player, signed a creche, and butchered the wage bill to save money and fund a hotel
Then Levy releases that arrogant, patronising statement last week.
Shameful
Levy OUT!

We’ve been going downhill since we moved into the stadium. That’s why Kane knew he had to leave.
Conte was a blip in the trend.
If they want to reverse the trend, they need to change the wage structure and bring in legit world class players to fit squad needs instead of searching for the best deals for young players who could end up world class eventually buy maybe don’t really fit a position of need in the squad right now.
We aren’t even poundland Chelsea anymore, we are poundland Brighton atm because that’s who Levy wants to be but they are better at it.
Agree; look at the managers we are linked to as further evidence.
Very clearly time to let a bigger boy have a go but he won’t do that.
In fact the only way I could see him step aside is if we win the EL. Then his ego could say that he did all this to build the club and also managed to win things.
Even then, I only think he’d sell and move on if he was confident he was selling to someone the fans would hate.
Well it seems our experiment with having a nepo baby intern for 25 years has not been a very good idea.
We seem to get shafted every which way . I could live with a deeply unpleasant bastard owning and running the club if success was delivered. But oh no we have to add penny pinching and incompetent to our cocktail of self inflicted disaster .
I would not take Donald Trump or Putin as a new owner right now , other than that I am good with almost anyone.

yep Levy absolutely played us with his event's and football arena.
the fact that he just came out and basically said we wont/cant be spending much money after previous comments pre stadium about it being game changing and a way to compete with the very top clubs....it's crazy really the deceit
(that arse victory last night has kind of just refreshed everyone's memory about our massive fall/failure to capitalize on establishing ourselves permanently as a top club)
fucking untrustworthy snake

Honestly think Levy has been rumbled now.
More and more people are seeing it for what it is and if anything the likes of Brighton, Brentford and Bournemouth make it harder for him to pull off this underdog model of trying to compete without signing top wage players.
There is no desire to reverse the trend. We have served our purpose.
We are the host they've fed off to build their multipurpose NFL / entertainment arena and now they have us exactly where they want us.
A middling PL ever present. Snouts in the trough with no need and no motivation to actually push for glory.
We are just being entitled if we think we deserve anymore than that mate…
After all, what were Spurs winning before ENIC?
Know your place Spurs fans
FA cups, League Cups, Major European trophies, and going back a little further, a couple of league titles.
Last time I checked, Brighton didn't reach a league cup Semi and weren't in the QF's of Europa. Our net spend over the last 5 years on transfers is HALF A BILLION. Brighton is 70m. We've spend almost double what Liverpool have.
Problem we have is that we cannot attract world class players. There are 10 clubs+ that they would prefer to play for; and without Champions League; we are not shopping in the same market as the top clubs - and therefore the fans need to temper their expectations. Spurs are NOT a big club with regards to achievements and reputation. They are a small club, that got lucky that Bale & Kane were world class players.
Smart transfer business means finding more Dele, Eriksen type deals; and investing in the academy to provide a steady flow of quality. Not spending money on players with big reputations or has-beens (.e.g. Felix, Coutinho, Sancho), and certainly not spending huge money on mid level journey men like Richarlison and Solanke.
why are we even trying to copy Brighton's model, buying ultra cheap data led based players, why aren't we acting like a club of our standing.
| Club | Total gate receipts 23-24 |
|---|---|
| Real Madrid | £153m |
| PSG | £139m |
| Woolwich | £127m |
| Bayern Munich | £109m |
| Man Utd | £107m |
| Tottenham | £102m |
| Barcelona | £96m |
| Liverpool | £90m |
| Man City | £74m |
| Chelsea | £71m |
| AC Milan | £71m |
| Atletico Madrid | £61m |
| Marseille | £56m |
| Inter Milan | £55m |
and the above was without any extra european games and very early cup exits.
he likes to make out we dumb ass fans want us to spend until we end up going bankrupt, he knows best but all the info is out there for those he have a basic understanding, Throwing stadium debt up as a reason does not work. we aren't that stupid. Just because I have a mortgage doesn't mean I can only shop at B&M
Everyone has evolved and he hasn’t. he is still trying the same things that didn’t work over a decade ago and expecting them to somehow work.
Levy is nowhere near the savvy businessman he thinks he is. Pretty dumb to make a reputation in an industry as a difficult person known for their brinkmanship.
Other chairmen will simply add another £5m to players we want, so Levy can feel good about himself when he gets £3m off the price and still ends up paying more than they really wanted.
