You should never use January as a test.
Absolutely the summer, but January IS shit.

If we were 16th and looking down the league, it would be a different story. We'd be shopping in a different market, and we all know relegation would put the fear of God into Enic.

ENIC are gonna have to work fucking hard to convince Conte to be patient though.

Why is January not a test? The manager asked for players. Weve low balled and dithered as usual. Why is everyone so blind to this?
 
We were basically conned. We were sold the new stadium because it would help us compete. What it has done is made the football side a sideline, ENIC can keep the money rolling in from other events whilst the team plods along between 6th and 10th as there is no will or plan to make us improve. Why bother? Guns N Roses and the boxing will bring in more dosh and then crack on with the building projects

Keeping it real for a moment though. What is the clubs actual ambition?

We as fans obviously want to be top of the league, and win cups/trophies.
The club on the other hand, whilst yes would love a trophy, might be happy to finish between 4th and 8th. This might be the zone that keeps the club profitable and attractive to the level of players they want.

Unless they actually turn around and say, yes Spurs are here to challenge the top 4, or something along those lines, we just may need to temper our expectations unfortunately.

Then they can look forward to hiring a new manager in the summer. The stadium will have 15000 empty seats because no one wants to pay to watch that dross. Harry Kane will be playing for a new club. Lloris will be doing his best to convince someone to sign him. 4th-8th is not enough and it is more like 6th-8th especially when the Scum outspend us every window.

It’s not a project, he is not a project manager if we are going down that route we should have gone for Ten Hag/Potter.

listen to all his declarations: he feels a project manager, and he is really good in it.
he just has not enough patience to collect fruits of his work, that's his big limit.

he should focus on what we have: lloris, romero, dier, sanchez, reguilon, royal, skipp, lucas, gil, kane, berjwin, son. that's a good starting base.
we have to play only EPL and FA cup
is it really necessary to waste money over players like amrabat in these two days of winter market?
I'd prefer to use money to buy players for the summer, like dybala and kessie instead

Then Conte was a downright weird appointment, because that's not why he's here.

3 days to go and the club seemingly appears to have no clue or drive honestly Antonio walk away now as some of the fans are doing.

Dont know what to think about paritici. Manager search in the summer took so long, then made the wrong choice, sack him in 9 games. Now same with the players, taking ages to negotiate for them and other teams swoop in. None of the deadwood is gone. Its all so strange.

Perhaps Mr levy needs to address the fans with one of his delightful video messages outlining his vision and ambition for the club.

Instead of doing it in a fancy video, he should be made to face actual fans. I'd love to see him put on the spot and given no time to prepare bullshit answers.

Come on, no one outside of the highest echelons of THFC know what Conte wants or when he wants it. You're buying into twitter nonsense and self promoting "transfer experts"

If he goes mental and walks then you'll know.
If he carries on as normal, then he wasn't a fussed as people think.

Not signing any players for 18 months has set this club back 10 years at least if not more. Probably the biggest act of self harm any football club has made.

I said exactly this at the time. When fans were arguing a settled squad was a good idea.
