The part owner of Villa is actually an elite businessman , Can’t remember who said Levy was . Wes Edens is a very shrewd guy . Has been in football a fraction of the time ENIC has and I would not be surprised at all if he runs rings around Levy in the next 3 years

No one, not one fucking person can convince me that sitting back against Bournemouth and Southampton was only on the players. Sure, the cunts have faults, but there is no way that a manager will tell them to push forward and they'll continue to sit back.

I would gladly have Harry Redknapp back just to the end of the season.
The levels of anger are too great in the fanbase right now.
A untested manger is gonna be hung out to dry if we don't hit the ground running next season.
It's got to be poch or nagelsmann, they're the only ones fans are going to give enough time to, even then probably take 3 defeats to call nagelsmann a fraud so maybe just poch

The only way the fans anger can be quelled is for;
Levy to leave
The club to spend real money in the summer to show it means business
All the dead wood thats been stinking the place out has to go in the summer
Keep Kane
Do all of that and the next manager whoever it is will be given time and some good will and patience restored.
Do it not, and this is going to get more and more toxic and I fully expect a relegation fight next season because we aren't a team, the players aren't playing for the fans or for pride and the fans hate the players and the board.
It's untenable
Unfortunately levy isn't going to leave , stuck with him
They naturally drop back because of the shit Conte/Stellini tactics.
- There is no reliable pressing OR passing patterns
- The positioning of the wingbacks out of possession is way too rigid
- EXTREMELY easy to overwhelm our midfield. And this isn't a myth or a scapegoat the fans keep blaming, its 100% true
All this contributes to our players naturally sitting back unfortunately. I'd say its 80% on the coaching, and 20% on the profile of our players
This is exactly my fear. The fan base is suffering from fatigue syndrome
I don’t think any sort of manager will make the slightest difference at the moment. This squad, the board and the ownership are all stale and stuck in a comfortable zone that none of them want to move from. We’re seeing reports Dier is about to sign a new contract, despite no new manager being in place to decide if they actually want to him around?
A new manager will come in and say they want Maddison, Levy will put a low ball offer in, rejected, and the new manager will end up with some b-tech version for a third of the price who has a third a of the talent. The same players will be kept, the same mistakes will b made, and the manager will get the blame.. back to square one. Don’t not pass go, do not collect £200.
Levy wants Kompany.. I wonder why that is? Because he knows he can’t play the same tricks he did on Poch before? Because Nagelsmann can see right through him? Because De Zebri will call him out?
Levy knows he can manipulate Kompany.. a young, upcoming manager. Let’s be honest.. if Burnley were top of the league, playing this brilliant football under someone who wasn’t a famous centre back, we’d have no interest at all.

Well they seem to be quite stupid because we have 2 wins in our last 8 games and in one of those the VAR was our best player. The way we are playing doesn’t work.
I don’t disagree that our defence isn’t good enough. But we do have some decent attackers. Doesn’t it make more sense to trust in the attackers to win us the game rather than the defenders?
Whoever the new manager/coach is going to be, they need to be appointed on Monday.
I was thinking exactly that seeing how he has turned Fulham around. Such an obvious appointment to all but Levy.
I think that I have said this before but here goes.
If it wasn't for his Woolwich past we should have been all over Emery.

Kompany has done as well as he could have been expected to at Burnley. I'm not detracting anything from what Kompany has so far achieved in his brief managerial career.
My point is that Kompany has had the advantage of financial backing, from parachute payments, and if Spurs had attempted to hire any other manager, who has been successful in the Championship but not the Premier League, there would be uproar and rightly so.
If Kompany was to be successful there is also the distinct possibility of him leaving Spurs to pick up the reigns at City. To balance this; the same could be said for Arteta.
Levy has cheaped it out, by avoiding sacking Conte until he was embarrassed into taking action, and the same thing is now prevailing with Stellini.
Spurs supporters should keep chanting Pochettino's name and Levy / ENIC out rather than reacting positively to rumours of managers like Kompany.
It's the cheapest option for the best paid chairman in the Premier League who charges the highest ticket prices.
His methods have starved Spurs supporters of entertainment and success, to such an extent, that many will now accept a 'project' manager, which is code for 'cheap' manager, over a longer term, with lower expectations, in the hope we can emulate Woolwich.
Get real.
Levy out.

Agreed. If we were run in a competent way, we'd get the new staff in place, write off the rest of this season and give the new coach competitive games and a couple of months training sessions to evaluate these players (spoiler alert, a lot of them aren't very good).
I’d forgotten about this video from 2019. Nothing has changed.
Player power. Same old story with every manager since Poch. Training is monotonous and boring - We want more days off. We’re emotionally drained. The players downed tools on Poch and every manger since when the going has gotten tough. Jesus wept. Conte is a cvnt but he wasn’t wrong about the Spurs player culture and attitude.
Levy has gotten it so wrong. It’s not just the disastrous transfers in - Its that he hasn’t sold players until it’s too late. There’s something to selling players who want to go even if it’s for less than your valuation - so that tired and disgruntled players don’t poison the locker room.
We need a hard reset. A new manager needs to come in with a mandate to be absolutely ruthless like Poch 2013-2014.

I actually think its a pretty impossible job at the moment. We need to clear out 12 to 15 players, we have the Kane situation, probaly not much money to spend, certainly not the £200m to £250m required to bring in 6 or 7 really good players and a couple of youngsters. Add in an interfering chairman that falls out with everybody, a disgruntled crowd who's patience has finally worn out and i'm not sure why anyone of substance would want it.
