Fuck off gooner
I'd feel a lot better.If levy took no income then it wouldnt significantly help us to do anything.
No, I watched the whole thing and he said the EL was not enough, we want to win the PL and the CL.
In exactly those words.
How will I survive the summer?But you'll miss out on tales about trips to vineyards in the Piedmont if you do that
Other big clubs find loopholes and circumnavigate the rules. Our owners use them as a shield to hide behind. Cowards profiting from footballs global popularity.You look at the financial results, we are losing money every year. Yes, the stadium is generating a lot of money, but we are fighting with teams in the PL whose owners are putting in hundreds of millions. Ours arenāt and never will.
Levy did stupidly say that he wanted to win the PL, which I thought was one of the most stupid things he had ever said.
Say you want something more than cup success of course. Say that finishing 17th,regardless of other pressures is not acceptable, but if you say you want to win the PL, then back your words.
If that is your ambition, and unless you genuinely believe the squad is already capable (it clearly is a long way from that), back it up.

So far this window, it's sh!t.
Iāve said this before on the Levy wanting to win the league thing. He did say it. 100%.Is an honest way to react to what he said. Thanks for that.
Can't deal with the mental hoops people are jumping through to take the pressure him for something he voluntarily chose to say.
Pathetic really
If you criticise Levy/ENIC for the lack of trophies despite making us a big 6 in that period, surely you must pay homage to them for winning the EL? You canāt blame them for the perceived underperformance but not credit them for the success.We were also much more regular trophy winners, 1 or 2 per decade.
Personally being in the big 6 means absolutely fuck all to me so I'm not measuring that as success.
We have been one of the top 3 spenders for the last 3 years. That we have spent money on the wrong players you canāt blame Levy / ENIC. That is down to the DOF / manager.Levy did bizarrely say that he wanted to win the PL, which I thought was one of the most stupid things he had ever said.

We were the 4th most successful team in the country before levy came we are now 6th.I don't think you know much about Spurs' history . Just a reminder: since the mid-70s - apart from a few seasons - Spurs were pretty much a midtable team.
Yes, they won the occasional domestic cups and UEFA cups but apart from that very little was achieved.
But, since you know so much, give me the names of all those chairmen who were (much) better than Levy...
Top 8 at the very best. More likely 9th to 11th.
If Frank is very good add a couple of positions.
It's Levy playing 3d chess. If we haven't bid, then Manure can lower their price, this lowering ours!
Worth a reminder that Frank will still not have met half the players - those who have been playing internationals in June not due back until end next week start of following week.
Hypothetically lets suggest that Frank has watched lots of videos of Richarlison and also seen his injury/playing history and decided its best if he can be moved on. Richarlison may be of the belief he can stay fit and thinks playing CL is best way for him to stay in Brazil squad. So it might require a face to face meeting with Frank where Richarlison is told he will not be playing much and best to move on ..... which Richarlison may be reluctant to accept.
Players have agency (ie players need to agree transfers out) so provisional work to move him on may have begun, but until player says yes it cannot be concluded.
And we have a full squad (2 players too many to fit in CL already) so transfers out will be a brake on concluding transfers in.
We are still less than half way through transfer window, so chill.

Iāve said this before on the Levy wanting to win the league thing. He did say it. 100%.
But he didnāt say when. He didnāt say āI want to win the league next seasonā. Like every Chairman / Owner, of course heās going to say he wants to win the league, but heād be mental to put a timescale on it.
Some choose to believe when he said it that he meant the upcoming season. I donāt think that. He was just talking about the future in general terms.
Do you guys really think heās stupid enough to think we can go from 17th to 1st with this squad and this manager?
