Everyone else is light years behind at this time... there is 13 teams who are ahead of us in the only stat that matters... the league table... I don't care one iota for revenue or EBITDA as a barometer to how well Levy/ENIC are doing... league table is the only metric that you can truly use to draw comparisons with others clubs that are (according to you) light years behind us... the other stat that correlates nicely to league position is wages to revenue ratio... we are last (or first depending on your view) with just 46% of our revenue spent on wages... and this will be lower next year when a number of big earners fall off the list... this is damning.. every club in the premier league spend more of their income on wages than we do... so you are right... everyone else is light years behind us when it comes to indolence.Everyone else is light years behind at this time . At the moment I make it 16 concerts at The Lane this summer , no one else has a stadium that can stage that many concerts plus other events like NFL/ rugby, except Wembley.
Unless someone is going to build a new stadium and the only one in the pipeline is Man U who is going to compete with The Lane.
No one likes to hear it but Levy/ENIC have done brillliantly with the new stadium.
I think THIS is where the Levy statement this week about not wanting to "Spend what we don't have..." we DO have it, YOU'RE pocketing most of it you bald greedy fuck!Everyone else is light years behind at this time... there is 13 teams who are ahead of us in the only stat that matters... the league table...

he cant get anything right. hes in the wrong sport. hes reacting to past mistakes and making even more mistakes in doing so because he cant read situations.The optics are terrible. If he thought not sacking Ange was a good football optic for showing he gives managers a chance then it has backfired massively. All this is doing is fueling conspiracy theories (which may have substance) that he values saving money at the expense of on-pitch success.
Whatever way you cut it, it's the latest in a long, long list of bad football calls.

Some decent thoughts here from Seb if I am being honest. Spurs are in a odd spot were we like to think that we are a big club that plays a certain way against everyone. But the reality is that we are still a club that needs to adapt to the circumstances. Both in house and outside of it.
Whoever takes over from Ange needs to think more in the lines of "what can we be?" rather than "what do we want to be".
Spurs can be as big as anyone.![]()

Bingo. He wants to hang with the big boys but is unwilling to put in the work to actually deserve a spot.Levy wants us to be a big club but he doesn’t want to act like one.
The stadium is the best in the world.Bingo. He wants to hang with the big boys but is unwilling to put in the work to actually deserve a spot.
Thus all of the football staff at the club, or at least the decision makers, need to be people that can work around him and within his restrictions to make us as competitive as can be. Which arguably is EL-Conference level if I am being realistic.
I am giving my head a wobble and wandering how it has taken so many Spurs supporters 17 years plus to figure this out.
Martin Jol was sacked at half time and humiliated by Levy and ENIC in 2007.
Before Jol arrived Spurs had been in a desperate state.
Jol began the process of restoring belief in THFC.
He deserved better.
I have no sympathy for Levy whatsoever.
He's trousered a fortune and pissed on our dreams.
I'm confused, wasn't the whole argument that generally speaking, the teams with the highest wages/income percentage are the most successful?
what are City, Liverpool and Gooner scum doing at the bottom? what are Palace, Everton and Norwich doing near the top?
I'd fucking snatch 2nd best out of anyones hands.Spurs can be as big as anyone.
Don't allow the miser, and the few friends he has left, to persuade you we should accept second best.
Demand more from the miser and protest.
Make Spurs great again.
This is the narrative that will be peddled in defence of Levy.We’re a club on the field to make up the numbers , off the field thanks to Levy we can compete with the best that’s what we are simple as…….we are a business
