Obviously I'll give him a chance, but if he turns out to be useless Levy will be in the firing line.

People say this every single time and Levy is never in the firing line.
If I had a pound for everytime some said "be patient" or "give them a chance" "if it doesn't work out then Levy will take the blame".
And every single time Levy avoids the blame.
This time the DOF will get the blame for hiring the manager and making the transfers (even though Levy has hired the DOF, again, making this his problem if it goes tits up.)
He is bulletproof and some will say "Yeah but this time it's different" again, they say that everytime.
When people finally build up the courage to recognise we will go nowhere whilst Levy is our chairman and Lewis is our owner then we can start to actually get hopeful for change.
Until then, nothing will change imo.
Spot on. This fan base is doomed.
Oh yea we are.
Every season fighting to help the club survive. Asking players to play for free. Avoiding administration each month by the skin of our teeth.
Yes we wanna win more but let's not be dramatic about it. We have it good compared to a load of other football fans.
Agree.... we ain't Bury, or Bolton (both with more 'History' than us)
We're an entitled London Fancy Boys club, who had a Southern softies tag for decades, but then decided we were one of the big boys!
I LOVE our history.... and our story, and our founding fathers Cricket club boys under the Gaslamp on the High Road....
But let's face it, we're a big club with a small club mentality sometimes...
Burkinshaw called it in 1984:
"There used to be a Football club over there!"
They don't spend £1,200 a year for their season ticket.
They don't read their shirt sponsor deal is one of the biggest ever.
They don't read their kit deal is one of the biggest ever.
They don't get 4 seasons worth of Champions League money
They don't get a huge slice of the PL TV money.
Worse is relative. On one hand we know the club is cleaning up. On the other we get told we can't compete.
So, what’s holding Levy back?
Why is he not being announced?
Why is he not being announced?
Oh yeah we make ourselves look really good crying cos we won't buy a more players for £50 million a pop.
I'm not saying that ENIC shouldn't give back more but we need to keep perspective.
Not so long ago we were all crying that football was being taken away from us by the ESL and now people are talking about abandoning the club cos they didn't get the manager they wanted or cos they don't think we'll spend enough millions.
Its ridiculous, over the top flouncing.
Who’s replaced Zoro at Roma. You can’t make it up! Fuming.
Mourinho yelled “press press” to our team. Some fans yell “support support”. Supporting is being able to criticise. We have our fair number of Ty’s from the goon tv.
I never had an issue with the super league.
Well, I didn't have a problem with us hanging off the coat tails of the others.
But then he'd still act broke.
I'm with you. Dunno how we could have turned it down tbh but there we go
Listen. If fonseca gets a win at Woolwich first time round hes part of the furniture.already. Remember we beat then 2 nil just before xmas in league cup. Seeing alli float ball past cech to make it 2 nil was like watching a beautiful sunset on the beach. Good night that was and made my xmas. Im open minded on new boss. Time will tell.
He got off lucky mourinho with no fans in stadium. That chelsea home performance was an absolute disgrace. Straw that broke camels back for me. Glad hes gone. No regrets. Seen a lower league pub team perform better compared to joses tactics in that game. Atrocious. Onwards and upwards now...hopefully.
Agree. I was a big Mourinho enthusiast at the beginning but after the Liverpool game away it was all downhill. Genuinely the worst months of football I saw from Tottenham. He should had got the sack after Zagreb
No we dont have it good. We pay top dollar on ticket prices and 3 subscription channels to watch our team being nearly and falling at last hurdle. I have utmost respect for supporters following lower league teams but reality is its no big deal if theyre shit. Cant let standards drop following tottenham.
If I ask myself what Tottenham represents. I really can’t see what it is anymore.
never felt so disconnected.
