I started this transfer window confident that we would spend big and fill some positions that needed upgrading. It could still happen, but I am not as confident now.
The only position getting filled is the supporters getting it up the arris from ENiC and the miser.

Smashed in for 23 years and counting.

Do the skywalk and enjoy the caberet.
 
Spending big money is the answer... :confused: :confused: :confused:

The ethos of ENIC and Daniel Levy is to make as much financial gain as possible from the football club.

They don’t have an ethos on the football side of things. Absolutely none. They’re shysters who put on a facade that they have a philosophy and ethos as you suggest by occasionally throwing out buzz word statements like “we want a coach that can play free flowing attacking football” before appointing Nuno, or “we have our Tottenham back” after we won a couple of games, to make the more gullable of the fans believe they actually have some sort of vision. They don’t.

The old chestnut that they try and put out there that we are a club that signs exclusively young talented players is absolute dung too.
We sign predominantly players that are cheap. If a player is not a young and talented player we have no issue signing him as long as he isn’t very expensive. It’s a classic way of trying to justify continuously signing players that are not at a level that are really going to turn us into challengers. “Oh we don’t sign stars, we make them. It’s the Tottenham way.” Utter horseshit.

Under Jol, Harry, AVB, Poch, Mourinho, Conte, Nuno (what a collection of different managers that is btw, for an ownership that supposedly has an “ethos”) we signed numerous players mid/late 20’s/early 30s. Why? Because we could “do a deal.” Ethos went out the window.

Levy and ENIC have no footballing ethos or philosophy. They plod along on the football side of things chopping and changing from different methods and regimes and whenever things go tits up, Levy comes out with a buzz word statement, “we need to get back to the Tottenham way.” and bobs your uncle he gets a cohort of fans back onside again.
Rinse and repeat.
That's exactly the ethos, but they are fucking good at it, they have managed to convince many that the club is on the road to glory for 24 years 😁

Good post, you're clearly very passionate about this but I don't agree, for the most part they've hired attacking coaches, the times when they've hired coaches who have gone against their ethos of attacking football is because they wanted to win but their execution was and has always been poor. All these coaches had a history of winning (Ramos, Conte, Jose - Nuno was hired because they fucked up the manager search, panicked and thus wasn't by design).

If you look at the history we've always been a club who has worked better getting players in who are young, have re-sale value and can improve, never said ENIC were perfect btw but all this framing of them being shyster is laughable. Owners like Mike Ashley who have 0 intention to improve or have 0 ambition or owners like the Glazers who are parasites who leech of the club are shysters. ENIC have improved the club, they're just haven't done it in the priority that fans want.

As of now though I look at the club in a healthy position, financially, infrastructure, first team, academy etc...this have been their plan but they've just made a complete pigs ear of it.

Anyway ENIC thread >>>>>
