Can’t feel that this is all a healthy dose of Karma for the club and those fans that turned on Pochettino at the first sign of difficulty.

I always felt that history would look back on his Spurs tenure kindly.

The first sign of difficulty was when we became incapable of winning away from home, which happened long before he got the sack.

Of course that doesn’t mean it was all his fault, it’s taken Levy 2 years to reflect on his own failings in keeping the squad at the required level.
 
Tbh, this could be a blessing in disguise.
An absolute car crash could be the end of ENIC. Might make them actually consider their future. They are the biggest barrier now to success.
Are we that lucky? Do they have that or any level of self awareness?

The whole way levy and enic behave (especially judging by the recent cringe fest levy interview) appears that they've never had to account for themselves before. The style seems to be entitlement backed up by yes men and lack of accountability with a tone deaf approach to the fans and football in general.

It feels like if levy can't get the best of someone at the meeting he'll just leave it, regardless of the consequences. And even that's being optimistic in thinking he has an actual plan in the first place.

All the shit they spout is almost trumpian in regards to what they actually do. Believe the opposite of what they say.

Pretty soon we'll be grateful we've got Mason and need Big Sam before long.

Prep for next season going great, no manager, haven't even started to think about clearing out the shit and strengthening our considerable weaknesses.
I'm going to stick a cheeky tenner on relegation at 80/1 we are such a mess it's more of a possibility than many of you are willing to entertain, could you see this lot and their lack of a solitary bollock digging out of it if we have a bad start?
 
Genuinely, what decent manager in their right mind would now look to join Spurs? They'd feel like they are 7th/8th choice, they'd know we're desperate and demand more, they'd know we have limited funds and that Kane wants out.

The last 2 years have been a disaster. We've gone back so far it's going to be 3-4 years before we are anywhere near where we want to be.
 
I would be happy with Potter and have been from the start. A progressive manager to do a rebuild. I'm not sure why we are not going for that. But then he isn't one of the DoF's mates.
