It's not about failure it's about being patient for success to come. We aren't as big as Liverpool or Manchester United. City are owned by the richest person going for heavens sake. Stop comparing them as football clubs to us. Liverpool continuously spend more than we do and where's it got them? 8 of the last 9 seasons finishing below us. West Ham have done their money this year and there's not a single one of them would add proper value to our team. Why spend money if there isn't someone good enough to fill areas that need improvement?
We are in the process of forking out nearly £1bn for our future. The new stadium turns us into a completely different animal now but our window of opportunity was 2015-2017! Have a word mate. It would have been lovely to have won a trophy but Pochettino didn't underperform those years he overperformed! It sounds to me like he's the victim of his own success when it comes to how you view him.
We all want success, Tottenham have to do it a different way however. I wouldn't change it for the megabucks of City though or the Oil money of the Blue Russians. The way Tottenham are doing it of profit making, investment, growth, thorough scouting and a focus on mixing youth with experience has shown any football club that's interested in noticing that you can build something special without being owned by a person treating the club as it's little toy, or if you're competing with bigger clubs with bigger finances and a further global reach. I'm hugely proud of how far we've come, I wish you were too.
Here's to playing in the 2nd largest stadium in the whole of England next year with two of the worlds most expensive players in our ranks, a creative midfielder any team would want in their squad and one of the worlds most exciting young defenders in our ranks forming our spine for the next ten years (not to mention a World Cup winning captain with a good 4 years left in him coming back into the fray) moving forward, its only going to get bigger and better long term from here, just try to enjoy it mate
Even Lloris looked shady last season because Pochettino tried to get him to play as a sweeper.
I’m completely with you on most of that - what Levy has done in the climate of is commendable and deserves a manager who can deliver the success the project deserves.
