Loaded up a game of football manager 14 the other day.
We had a shitty little stadium. Our rivals had 2 to 3 times as much money to spend on players and wages.
We had Chadli, Vlad, Soldado and a load of other dross.
You cant say anything other than ENIC have done a top notch job. We havnt quite seen the full spending power from the new stadium because of the massive rebuilding job needed on the squad.
But theres not way we could have signed players like Lo Celso and Ndombele just 5 years ago. Over time we will keep spending and replace the aging stars and come back stronger than ever.
Getting rid of those players and be attractive to the likes of Ndombele and Lo Celso is a lot to do with Poch. ENIC have transformed us off the pitch, Poch has transformed us on it.
It’s why a lot of fans still have a lot of loyalty to Poch and if it’s his time to leave now he will get best wishes from most fans (certainly the ones who go to games if not the ones on forums).
Both Levy and Poch have flaws but they have done well overall for us. We are now a bigger club because of them and ENIC investment in the stadium will pay off over time even if it has delayed investment in the playing squad for a year or two.
If Levy goes down the NFL franchise route though I’d want a guarantee that the rent we get for it goes towards the football club and by football club I mean Tottenham Hotspur not the NFL franchise team. The hotel is a nice idea though and should help regenerate the area.
