I never wanted them but can see why Levy would hire them, being told it wasn't the quality of the squad it was mentality of the club. He would have told them the budget which wasn't that small and they seemed to have bought in to it, end of last season Conte looked like a good bet

For me it was always going to end the way it did, I never agreed with hiring them (bad fit for the club) but can see why he did

Agree, I think nobody (including most fans) had really understood the amount of change needed in the squad after years (2016-19) - of poor investment.

Club thought with a top manager they would deal with squad issues and be able to move on a few players and add a few replacements - so minor surgery

Personally I'd have gone for a 'project' manager to deal with squad and bring through youngsters from academy (something missing since Kane and co came through) - and I think Ange fits into that category
 
Ange rolling out the same old shite we've been hearing for years.

Convenient excuse. I reckon maybe Schuurs comes in late after we flog Davinson and that's about it.

No marquee signing. No attacking upgrades.
 
So after selling our best player for 100 mil we still need to sell to buy. What is this club man. Our focus should be outgoings AND incomings why do we need to put priority on trimming the squad over improving it.
Ange is couching it like it’s his decision, that having a bloated squad results in unhappy players, and no close-knit harmony that he’s trying to create. Who knows if that’s true?

As usual with this club, it’s all incredibly frustrating.
 
I'm no fan of Levy or ENIC, but the lengths some of you go to live in this world where he is purposely sabotaging the club is laughable. Turning Ange making a statement that he doesn't want incomings until the squad is trimmed, into "fucking ENIC and Levy sell Kane and we still have to sell before we can buy"? Maybe...just fucking maybe Ange is happy with the squad... and hold on to your seats - maybe he actually doesnt want to bring in anymore players without getting rid of a few... and this is crazy talk here, but stay with me... maybe Ange sees the team in practice everyday and knows more than fans on a fucking message board. Some of the lines spouted on here is borderline conspiracy level shit.

We have a squad of around 31-32. That is simply too many. You can argue that we've been too slow or too ineffective in moving players out. All the same it's not a very manageable squad. Just a fact.

For comparison Chelsea, who all poke fun of for just throwing fucking cash around and loading up on players have 29-30 in their squad.

Long story short, our squad is a fucking mess when it's worse than Chelsea's in pure numbers, and Ange's words make perfect sense. Hopefully he aims similar words at Levys and tells him to get going on outgoings.

Then he hasn't seen us play at all during the past 4 years.

There are plenty we need to get rid of and with no Kane, it's pretty obvious where we need strengthening as well.

Can you imagine if we'd actually spent 100m on him
300K on wages x
So in answer to the criticism of Levy outers not attending protests , in all seriousness this is my own perspective

Rational people know that hate and physical threats etc are not acceptable , I would never be part of or approve of such behaviour . There is no excuse pure and simple .

I also know that Levy is not going to be swayed by peaceful protest , if Gold and Sullivan faced down aggressive vitriol from West Ham far in excess of anything Spurs fans might care to do , ENIC will not cave in to few Levy out chants , no matter how many sing it .

So the ENIC defenders will call out quite rightly people who advocate violence and threats , then also try and ridicule those who know that chanting outside the stadium is a waste of time so don’t bother .

So actually venting on the forums is our only release in reality, why would I waste 2 hours before a game on something I know that will be as effective as a chocolate fire guard
protests will always be half assed and limp

Getting after the horrible little cunt in the ground is the way to go…like last season when the fucking bastard was squirming and close to tears, as acknowledged by his wife
 
I know I’m stating the obvious but it makes sense that the club is working hard to get the best offers possible for our outgoing / surplus players. I expect that the last few days of the window will be very busy and loan heavy.

“Lazio are close to signing Hugo Lloris, Inter Milan are pursuing Japhet Tanganga, Rennes are working on a deal to sign Tanguy Ndombele and Real Sociedad are negotiating the capture of Sergio Reguilon.

‘The senior quartet have all been told they are free to go by the 1 September cut-off by chairman Daniel Levy after talks with Ange Postecoglou.

‘Tottenham are working to reshape their squad following the club-record sale of Harry Kane. The prolific striker won’t be the last of the big names to go, with deals advancing for those not key to Postecoglou’s plans.”

Levy 'green lights' four Tottenham exits with £55m flop 'seduced' by reunion with former manager
 
We have been collectively gaslit into believing that getting £100m for Kane isn’t enough to sign a top attacking replacement. It’s just horrendous what the top brass serves up to us.
 
Why is Levy and ENIC determined to set us back further and further is the question I want to know. Since we have moved into the new stadium it is like they are trying to make us worse and help devalue the club. Something is going on, it isnt just incompetence, it cant be, now it just feels too calculated but makes no sense.
Perhaps Levy is a closet Gooner. :sonhmm:

After all, scum fans sing ' Daniel Levy , We want you to stay ".......Every gooner and chav I know in the real world loves him
