Just so I understand your point of view would your answers be any different to mine and if so what would those differences be. I believe the majority of Spurs fans would agree with my answers but let's see where yours differ. Put your opinion up and let's see what you stand for.
I have made my views public before but whilst I think ENIC/Levy have failed to bring home trophies and should now let someone else have a go, I can not see that happening imminently. The team are capable of doing much better than they currently are and as they have not done so Ange should go at the end of the season. I do think that will happen
We have a major match tomorrow and now is the time to get behind the team and not dissing all at the club.

“ We were all fired up for the game until we read on TFC that some are unhappy at the current situation at Tottenham , this destroyed us , yes we know the away fans were excellent in such a hostile environment but when Vicario read “ Levy is a cunt “ the ball fell out of his hand into the goal for Frankfurts 7th “

We'd be top of the league right now if everyone just held hands and sang Kumbaya all season

We should all be ashamed of ourselves
 
I recall those barren transfer windows when we were dishing out wage hikes to all and sundry but signing nobody. It was all about transfer fees then. Nobody had a clue what our wage to turnover ratio was.

Now, we’re spending g hundreds of millions (not close to irrelevant in anyone’s language, surely?) on fees but not enough on wages.

I get that the ideal is spend big on both and I expected us to do so when the new ground opened. We haven’t. Not sure why, but I and all other Spurs fans, were lied to.
You do know why... the revenue generated by this club is being leveraged to fund vanity projects that have nothing to do with football ambition and success. Worse still, the club has taken profit from these projects and not spent it on the team as we were all told, but ringfenced it to fund more vanity projects. They are bleeding the club dry whilst doing the bear minimum to remain in the Premier League. That's their footballing ambition. And of course if we were all wrong, you would hear from the board but not one of the gutless cunts has said anything during this shit show. I'd love the Head of Communication role at this club. Six figures for fuck all work. They have nothing to say because this season has been great for them. Few little cup runs, no relegation, lowest wage to revenue ratio in the league, a few concerts, new hotel planning permission approved. Perfect.

Where, in the financial books, are these ringfenced funds? I can’t see them anywhere. I do see commercial revenue hugely supplementing football operations though.

We get told that all non football revenue goes into the club. That seems to be true. According to the books.

Where’s the evidence that funds are being used for these vanity projects? I’ve seen us take out loans by leveraging the value of the club, but not spending gained money on these.

I’m not trying to be difficult, I just can’t see any evidence of what you claim here. Can you show me where it is please?

This is why I’m stumped really. Am I missing something obvious? And I mean evidence based obvious, not just supposition. Or are we pulling some fiscal conjuring trick to show we have less money than we have?
 
Not long ago, we regularly finished above Liverpool and the Scum. Ok, we didn't win anything, but it's clear that Levy took it easy and focussed on the stadium and getting in events, which don't even fund the squad as he treats that side of the business as separate. He's the reason, taking his eye off an amazing opportunity to push us on, that we are now the laughing stock of everyone's jokes.

Levy’s lack of self awareness is astounding really. If he had any friends I bet they’d be taking the piss out of him in their WhatsApp groups!

I watched a bit of this fella this morning

It’s nothing to do with the owners neglect , woeful management or half arsed players, it’s all down to people on social media. 👍

I listened to this and I honestly don't know what to make... first and foremost I never tell anyone how to fan but he talks like we've lost eight or nine games and are sitting in 6th or 7th... I also don't remember any of our fans saying they would take relegation if we could win a cup. That's total bollocks. And this gem, we want Levy to fail more than we want Spurs to win is utter crap. We want Levy to fuck off so we can maybe have a chance of winning. Jeez - maybe this guy is the Head of Communication for the Club. He forgets that all that passion he talks about has been sucked out of us by a board who doesn't give a fuck about football and a manager (appointed by this board) who has no idea how to set us up for success. Back the team or fuck off was his final quote... no mate, you fight your fight and I'll fight mine but I won't be fucking off and neither should any of the fans who want profound change at our club. And by the way, whilst I can't speak for everyone else, at kick off tonight, I will be 110% behind whatever 11 players are on the field. So get off your high horse... you do you and let everyone else do them.

Its worse than saying nothing.

Levy has completely gaslighted the fans on every opportunity. He thinks he is doing a great job.

Page 16, line 44; 3m spent on construction expenses for a hotel? I'm just kidding, the 3m is right as at 30th June 2024 but I couldn't tell you where this sits in "the books" and frankly I couldn't care... I am not an accountant and whilst you talk like someone who understands the nuisances of financial management I don't think you are either.

So can you tell me where in "the books" it shows how much non football revenue was spent on the first team? You do realise that nearly all that commercial revenue is generated by the men's first team so why should it not be spent on football operations. Taking out loans (that you know you have to pay back with interest right) by leveraging the value of the club is in fact taking money from the football club over the long term. I might be wrong but I have never seen a hotel save a penalty or score a winner in a cup final but I'm sure "the books" will suggest otherwise. I'm not bothering to care about our financial accounts. The evidence you want is on the field every Thursday and Sunday. Look hard, and you will see what I am talking about. Then look at last night and draw an opinion on why two clubs with almost identical revenue streams, geography, history etc. are operating in different stratospheres when it comes to footballing ambition and competition.
 
This twat posted some similar shit from his hospital bed a few weeks ago.
Glad he's recovered btw.

But if anyone still doubted the term "Toxic Positivity "

It’s probably done just for clicks , kind of trolling in the hope of a bit of ££ , he’s not the first to do it , Wobbie at AFTV have made a career out of it

I feel like responding to these very direct questions in the style of a letter from HR received today:

I have answered your questions already and do not think anything fruitful can be added.
