To be fair to Ange, this was his first really big move (sorry Celtic) and he was always going to toe the line.
He was never going to have the ability to call the shots on transfers.

I can imagine Levy is terrified of people waving around bits of A4 paper
A childhood pleasure.
I've come to the realisation that who our manager is, as well as the collective assortment of players we have are by and large irrelevant. As is who owns the club. ENIC in, ENIC out. As pointless as cleaning the fine china on the titanic as it sinks.
This is who we are as a club. A team that finishes 4th to 8th and occasionally plays a cup final.
For us to be champions, whether that be of England, or a cup competition we in all likelihood need to be better than ALL of Woolwich, Chelsea, United, City* and Liverpool. And for 9 months at a time.
But those clubs are bigger, wealthier, and dripping in more prestige and history than us, all of which contribute to recruiting better players, having deeper squads, better managers, and winning cultures. This won't change anytime soon.
We have spent a fuck-tonne of money on the squad since moving into the new ground, often with a DoF finding players (Hitchen, Paratici, Lange) that the manager desires. Not many are "Levy purchases". And yet the progressive Pochettino that made us better than the sum of our parts failed. Serial winners Conte and Mourinho failed. Now Ange and his history of exciting and daring football is also failing.
Watching Spurs having removed the expectation of success and table progression has certainly made watching us much easier. Albeit the football under Ange these past few weeks has been less than acceptable. I now watch us just to hopefully see some entertaining football.

He's excelling himself with the bollox today!!
Are you buying a ticket (there's plenty on the exchange I'm told) to then sit at home??
It also weakens any bargaining position when it comes to selling a club if it becomes clear that there is a toxic environment.
Agree, a firey vocal atmosphere is more likely to get headlines.
Some literally can't though - as is seen in match threads countless times. People literally cannot wait for us to lose before shitting over everything.

This one was quite impressive tbf. And more effective in front of a live TV audience

When I used to live in London (which was up til last year) they said they were doing these protests pretty much before every game. I used to arrive at the stadium generally one hour before kick off, that should be prime protest time, given how many fans are kicking around then. Every time without fail by that time the protesters had already packed up to either get in the stadium to buy a pint or fucked off home.
They were fucking pointless.
They were fucking pointless.
As the old advert goes
If you like a lot of trophies in your cabinet sell our club

Welcome back Richard
I can never understand the thought process of doing this outside the ground. Do it inside, get the chants going and the TV cameras and news will be all over it.
Doing it outside made some sense I suppose, a chance for it to snowball in numbers or get some media attention. But it was just 4 or 5 old guys standing around a banner talking to each other whenever I actually did see them. They didnt even try and engage anyone to encourage them to join in. It was just... Pointless.
I suppose they’re all scattered around the ground which makes it difficult to coordinate.
That's definitely an issue. One that also contributes to the general shit atmosphere that prevails most match days.
Plus the large percentage of tourist / casual fans that have largely replaced the more passionate, die hard fans who've become disillusioned with the whole charade.
