Exactly. They will spend, spend, spend to reach the top. We never will.

It simply staggers me the number of Spurs fans who still think Levy is the dog danglies. It’s almost that we’ve not been serious long-term contenders for anything, that they’ve actually come to ENJOY it?!
Some guy on Instagram claiming to be a Tottenham fan was insistent that Levy has done an amazing job despite winning only one League Cup in his 19 years in charge.
He said that he would much prefer to have it this way with the club managed on a tight budget than achieving Manchester City's success of 4 league titles, 2 FA Cups and 5 League Cups through major investment.
I had to block the twat, I couldn't listen to any more.
I blame both personally, but I like to think that having a manager like Jose who knows what and how to win that something might change.
Maybe that is deluded thinking but we need something to cling to, after seeing what Liverpool have done it does beg the question it could of been us.
I think this could well be the first time Mourinho fails to win a trophy at one of his clubs.
He won't get the support he's become accustomed to and I think there is far more work that needs to be done with the squad than he realised when he took over.
Failure and Tottenham are a married couple so who knows.
Levy & mourinho seems like awful matchmaking. Can't see it working out & them 2 not falling out.
Maybe Mourinho was prepared to put up with Levy's tight fisted ways because he thought he was inheriting a strong squad.
Not when you get situations like "knock knock" hello Daniel I would like you to get me 3/4 top level players to kick us on and one day succeed Liverpool, to which levy replies "conference south" or " Jewsons league division one north will that be acceptable as we are hard up.
Premier League Club Netspend 5 Season - Transfer League
This Transfer League Table is a record of the amount of money spent in transfer fees by English Premier League Football Clubs over the last five seasons. The table also shows new investment which club owners have made available to theirwww.transferleague.co.uk
Spurs £94.6m
Dippers £92.4m
It's almost as if the quality of player counts.
That’s half the story. The real difference is wages. Think we were averaging £70k when they were well over £100k.
Fact remains they were more football focused than we were with the stadium build going on. C’est la vie.
True, but obviously clubs' wealth has become more polarised in that time too. Champions League money, then Abramovich and Mansour's billions all further un-levelling the playing field. Against that it could have been much worse. Look at clubs like Aston Villa, Everton, even Leeds. We've just about hung on to the top tier, doing it the hard way. And now ridiculously bad luck to have a once in 100 year pandemic the year after building the stadium. We've seen steady improvement and investment for the future, if not much glory yet.Since Enic took over, not only have we won just one trophy in almost 20 years but under their ownership our run of winning a trophy whenever the year ends in 1 actually ended.
To be honest I think the pandemic actually benefited the team.
Yeah but have you seen the state of Anfeild I mean seriously its obvious who made the right call... right ...right...guys anyone there?
We are the anchor Tennant in an NFL stadium with owners who want to fill it with the cheapest products, but in return charge you a king's ransom to watch.
We are a commodity to them. Not a football team.
How many semi finals did Poch fail to get past?
Yeah, I do think he thought we had a much better team than the reality. Levy did say we have a very good team & just need the right manager to motivate them. When really we have an average team.
