But you don't really care about the club, do you?

If you actually cared about the club, you would realise that the club itself is actually in a pretty good condition. Massive state of the art stadium, enviable training facilities, and a squad filled with bright young talents from around Europe which fittingly just won a European trophy, and that's after a solid decade of being in the Top 6 and a couple of years when we came 2nd in the league and were 90 minutes away from being champions of Europe.

In case you forgot, that's our best ever league performances since the 60s, and the highest-profile fixture this club has ever taken part in. Those who still cream themselves over the FA Cup won't want to hear it, but ENIC have produced the second-best period in the club's history, in terms of both league and European presence. Over than span we've also produced England's greatest ever striker and Tottenham's all-time top goalscorer, not to mention we're the place were Bale, the most successful British player of his entire generation, made a name for himself before we extracted a world-record transfer fee for his defection to Madrid.

Last year's league performance was abysmal, and that's what someone like Frank is hired to fix. Frank's resume isn't littered with silverware like Jose, Conte or Ange, but instead has made a great name for himself squeezing excellence out of the 2nd-lowest wage bill in the division. It wasn't some big name coach that got us so close to the summit of the game, it was an Argie who hadn't won a trophy that did for us, and so I guess we're trying again, and we're thankfully back in the CL for at least another season.

So the club itself isn't doing badly at all. It's not being run in a 'shambolic' way, it's being run as one of the richest and most famous clubs in world football, which is frankly not what could be said back in 2001 when it was bought for 50m squid; less than the price we charged for Kyle Walker.

So, really, this has nothing to do whatsoever with you caring about the club. You just seem to care about yourself.



Well, for season after season we were solidly in the Top 6, and for 3 or 4 seasons we were solidly in the Top 4, even challenging for the title and coming closer than any season since the early 1960s. So what tripe exactly are you complaining about?



Yes, and Poch was a fantastic appointment which gave us our greatest period in decades. Would be nice to replicate that, wouldn't you say?



Well I for one don't want it to be much different than it was under Poch, because we were credibly challenging for the top trophies in the game when he was here. Personally, my optimism comes from the fact that under Levy we've become one of the biggest and best clubs in the world.

Don't like it? Go on a boycott. Hand in your ST. Walk away in disgust.

Just stop pretending it's the club you care about. Perpetual fucking moaners was accurate.

We just had our lowest league finish in 50 years. And lowest number of League wins in like 100 years 😵‍💫
We actually finished below West Ham for the 2nd time in three years!

That's true, but it's important to step back, and look at the bigger picture.

Kinsky, Gray, Johnson, Bergvall, Vuskovic, Odobert, Tel, Phillips, Udogie, Sarr, Odobert, Yang, Moore, Devine all 22 and under. VDV, Spence, Johnson, Kulu, Porro, Dragusin all 25 and under.

They have all together just lifted a trophy and now know what it takes to actually succeed.

These kids aren't going to now sit back and relax at a job well done. They have tasted success and will be hungry for more.

I do moan a lot on here , but only on this topic I’m surprisingly chilled other than that . I do try to keep it funny when I can , however humour is a very subjective thing , which means for every smilie someone probably groans .

You always keep it civil , or at least with me and I think that is more important than who is on the right side . Can never get my head around the personal abuse , love a bit of sarcasm and piss taking but some people on both sides seem to get so angry .

Its all good bro.

I get the moaning.

Ive just had a long few years with a lot of shit going on in my personal life and so not signing players by 7th July is not something that irks me too much nowadays.

But i do get it.

Respect. :adesalute:

Regardless of our differences on here, the challenges of the real world should always take precedence.

Hope everything works out for you in the end, yiddo

I already dont give him any of my money. I invest in as little as football as possible as the whole thing is designed to rip off fans, satisfy advertisers and just line the pockets of the the already mega rich.

Levy doesn't RELY on anything. He has the data, he has the facts and the staunchly anti levy parade are a blip in the Spurs fans universe.

Let's see.... if we start doing well next season.... are you gonna boycott? Stop watching out of principle?

Of he has invested and changes the way he operates, I have no problem in acknowledging him. If he doesn't (won't be a surprise) I'll keep doing what I do. I have the power to help build change. If you don't believe you do, it's ok, that's your belief

What plan for you need to boycott. It means stay away from...... Don't buy from.......? It's not Rocket Science. Or do you need someone to explain that to you.

Got to give you some credit for being a cheeky cunt when you are quite obviously a bit slow. 👍

So, you do your boycott by not turning up? How does anyone know you’ve not turned up because you are boycotting and not just got lost because you let go of your carers hand?

Even if people do know why you are doing it, how would you motivate others to join the crusade?

Or is your plan actually just not turning up and hoping other people don’t either?

As it is, yours mate, and good luck to you.

But i ask you again - if for any reason we are up challenging this season - will you be watching and supporting the club with Levy at the helm or not?

How strong are your convictions about this?

Belief is one thing - it is very, very very very rare that any kind of 'movement' brings about any significant change and even the ones that do, tend to get absorbed by the very thing they are trying to change as by design.

Because again, youre talking about changing Levy as if someone else is going to come in who actually cares about you as a football fan.

That will never, ever happen.

They are about you as a paying customer.

Thats the business.

I wasn’t saying it was a huge amount simply that that’s what some people have decided

I’m currently in the uk , not that that matters one iota as flights are cheaper than game tickets 😂

But I stand by my words , I’d happily pay but not go if I knew it was a well organised protest , getting rid of or upsetting ENIC > £80 imo

Great stuff, fancy paying for my ST and not going? It won't be cheap though the only thing that fits that category is talk and is mostly done by those who rarely, if ever attend games. That doesn't mean they aren't allowed to express their views it merely adds the question of conviction to their assertions? Granted there are plenty of justifiable reasons why people cant attend i.e. time, distance, cost (replacing petrol lawnmower), health etc. but these are excuses and nothing will change if the only action to be done is by others.

Interested to know what do you mean by 'a well organised protest'? If that means circulation then all planned protests are widely know about well before they happen and if you refer to prior knowledge of amounts of people likely to attend then take your shoes and socks off and you should have enough digits to calculate because it won't be many. I'm also a firm believer that the best way to make the Board sit up is to vote with our feet but because I realise that is never going to happen I have made a conscious effort to stop pi$$ing against the wind.

The best concerted effort to date involved pricing.....no don't carried away, numbers attending were massaged mostly by fans turning up for the match anyway and take it from me they soon dwindle.

Lewis & Levy are well past their sell by date and if their removal is dependent upon the pathetic protesting on match days thus far then be prepared for green mould to start setting in. That's not a reflection of the protesters, they do their best there's simply not enough of them and their actions are not sustained.

If a call to arms is required then go for it.....don't do it on match days, singularly the most important time required for the fans to get behind the team ffs. Find out where these Board members live and turn their locations into veritable 'Greenham Commons' .....that ought to do it and at the same time give those feckers who talk the talk to maybe walk it?

Why would I pay for your season ticket ? What on earth are you talking about ? 😂

What I would do is if a well organized boycott was going to happen & a ST holder couldn’t afford to lose £80 , I’d happily pay for a seat & not turn up

I don’t think camping outside the board members house would do much apart from get the police involved
