That kind of explains your viewpoint then.

With Levy having such a massive role in bringing players in how the hell is it not their fault?
And Kane playing in the final was the right choice, ridiculous to say it wasn't, but even if you say that Kane shouldn't have started the fact we had no viable back-up for him is again Levy's fault.
There’s no disgrace in being younger, but important to learn the facts of our heritage and standing pre ENIC / Sugar
Two things happened today that Levy/ENIC should pay great attention too, the protest outside the Lane, and the FA cup final.....
Let them sink in Daniel, let both really sink in, and your answer to why fans are a little fucked off right now can be explained in just those two events....

So what should my view point be? What is your?
Simple fact of modern football is the clubs that benefited from the CL/Sky TV boom have by and large hoovered up all the trophies in the last 20 years, with Leicester today becoming the first team outside of that group to win more than solitary trophy. I'd wager that wasn't the shape of English football in the 20 years before Enics arrival
No look at the Big five at the start of the PL, only Everton has done worse and not much worse. The others have done better.
I just want to be clear that you are saying that other owners couldn't have done what ENIC did with Spurs? And that they could have done what they did at Spurs at other clubs as well?
It wasn't what Spurs already had in place that led to us being a big club now but ENIC that created that?
Im not sure but we have enough to be competitive in the league but the results haven't turned out like they hoped
It's a bit mad to have a pop at him for not following Spurs basically before he was born. 21 years isn't like he started to follow us last week.
That simply using the late 90s and early 2000s as your benchmark to guage ENICs success is effictively sticking your middle finger up to all our previous achievments and history.
Because of moves they have made.
It is unreal how you are so willing to pass off clearly awful moves they have made for no reason.
Would you say Leicester are a comparible club?
In fact I'd say they're a much smaller and far, far less wealthy club.
They won their first FA cup today. We won 8 before ENIC even arrived and 0 since
That isn't true at all, during the period that you are (not inaccurately) pointing out that clubs like Woolwich and United got the jump on us commercially, City were in the third division.
The simple fact of modern football is that trophies have followed investment as sure as night has followed day.
We were challenging for the league , in January he signed two washed up has beens , in fact 1 was a never was Saha and Nelson. Two free transfers of old men when challenging for the league
Let’s see them defend that
Couldn't agree more
2015-16 Kane was our only recognised CF
2018 do nothing.
They have no interest in winning, just the team doing well enough to keep the money rolling in.
I'm not having a pop at him personally. Just his viewpoint. If he knew more about or at least acknowledged our history I think he'd think differently.
What do you think big 5 means exactly and how do you think it translated in to a clubs financial power off the field?
Once again... Leeds,Everton, Aston Villa & Newcastle were all clubs with similar sized revenue to us at the time that Enic took over (all within a 5-10m range of one another) Chelsea, United, Woolwich & Liverpool were all close too but as we know got the CL money that took them way out in front (like literally doubled/trebled their revenue whilst us and the others watched from the sidelines) since then we have caught up and drawn level with several of those CL clubs and in turn moved way ahead of those clubs that were once on a level with us.
You keep talking about what Spurs already had in place but all that we had in place amounted to us being on a level with the clubs i have previously mentioned, big 5 label or otherwise
Didn't answer my question
