I’m not actually against our spending policy one little bit, but I feel Jose looked at the two midfielders as long term options for Eriksen and Dele when we needed a short term option for Kane, and now Son
Because you can be satisfied by the effort of the players but dissatisfied by the quality of players you have to work with. No offence but you are usually very wrong. You thought all was fine with the previous managers relationship with levy & also the quality of our players. I heavily disagreed with you going back all that time. The manager got sacked & we have gone backwards on the pitch. So I am sorry if I don't have much faith in your opinion. Your usually optimistic but wrong. We are going backwards I'm afraid under levy from where we were a few seasons ago.

doesnt have faith in things I say and see and is of the opinion that I'm usually wrong. As for the previous quality of our players..... they made a Champions League final didn't they? Just saying mate.
We shall see as always. Hopefully you will be right, but I think we have gone as far as we can with these lot in charge.Don't worry sweetheart, I won't be losing any sleep because
Teams will continuously go forwards on occasions and backwards. We went on a horrendous run after we lost to Burnley back in January last year but prior to that we were within a couple of points of top spot in the league but sadly our managers head went, as did the players. We are the 6th biggest club in the country, we have no god given right to have had the 4-5 seasons we have just experienced and if you like it or not, the club has over achieved based on its status in the English game. Football ain't what is was in the 90s. Teams like Chelsea and Man City have made it all the harder to win things and if offered, I'd take the last 4-5 years we've had again all over right now.
What you deem as successful and reasonable growth is different to what I deem as reasonable and successful growth. That doesn't make you right and me wrong and vice versa sunshine. I personally see nearly 2 seasons away at Wembley and staying in the top 4 as a success, I see trainsitioning into the new stadium and getting to a Champions League final in a season where we had to navigate past Barcelona, Inter Milan, PSV Eindhoven, Borussia Dortmund, Man City & Ajax as a success, I see our off field growth and how it will allow us to grow on the pitch as a success. They may not have been the pinaccle of successes we all strive for but they are all hugely positive things we have achieved that have set us up to continue to punch at the level we'll have done. You disagree so I'm sure you won't mind me saying but honestly mate I couldn't care less if you don't have much faith in my opinions pal.
As for Jose, he had £30m given to him in January and chose to not spending it on a striker. Our previous manager despite the apparent unrest at the club was given the opportunity to bring in £150m's worth of players, more than anyone in charge of THFC has ever been given to spend. Neither manager has opted to spend said money on a striker so I ask you, as the 5th biggest NET spenders this window and last, is the man with the money really to blame for our lack of a striker or is it the person(s) spending that money?
Levy and ENIC are the best targets for the ire of some. Namely, because they don't perform or make public decisions all failings can nebulously be attributed them whilst all successes can conveniently be credited as overcoming them. Furthermore, because they own the club and will unlikely sell, they're the punching bag that literally will not disappear. Players and managers will come and go, but, no matter what, every ill fortune will be due to Levy and ENIC.Don't worry sweetheart, I won't be losing any sleep because

Surely you're not saying you're a better judge of Parrots ability than 22 x trophy winner Jose Mourinho?
Better judge no but we don’t have a striker, and despite backing Jose I don’t feel the need to suckle up to him like he’s my daddy and pretend he never fucks up.
So what you're saying then is that you are, indeed, a better judge of team selection than 22 x trophy winner Jose Mourinho

You can support the owners. But I don't feel the need too.
If it gets to 82 & levy goes, surely its fate.Congratulations #72
