It’s easy to say you are “data driven”. Every fucking club has a data department these days. The key is trusting the data, empowering your key recruiters, and understanding what the team needs to be properly balanced.

I think the longer contracts are certainly part of the attraction.
They probably all have. I suspect there is one massive bellend in the way of doing anything though. The usual blockage on ambition.
Take Utd as an example of actually being proactive (unlike us). Whether their signings turn out to be good or bad, at least Man Utd are trying. We aren't doing anything.
Post removed.
If it's nil nil going into half time, you can bet your house that there will be boos.
I won't be booing and I'm not saying it's right but there will definitely be an edgy atmosphere the longer we go without scoring.
If Burnley take the lead then it will just be a chorus of sighs and groans every time a spurs player misplaces the ball - and that helps nobody. Seen it time and time again - I've even asked if the person shouting abuse thinks it will help the team but they just shrug and say "I dunno but this is shit innit"
She has some podcast going with someone else that was doing alright.
Surely you understand that 99% of that crap is - at best - lazy tabloid rubbish or - at worst - vapid social media click farming from utter no-marks..... None it worthy of being even vaguely deemed 'journalism'.
I mean; it's understandable being frustrated with our lack of trfs, but ffs don't let that garbage push your buttons.
You can google 'Newnsnow [insert any club name]' and find reams of the same shit about any club.

Bring back the 80’s I say, then we’d only know anything transfer wise once they’d signed and all our blood pressure would be a lot lower!I’m only 49 but I remember the old milk bottles in class. If you were good at your work you got an extra one. Simpler times
You are probably right.
When Levy employed the best in the business, on and off the field of play, for a brief period while he was distracted by the mess he was making of the delayed stadium build, Paul Mitchell, Pochettino and his staff delivered improvement on a scale never seen at Spurs since the 1960's.
Levy put Mitchell on gardening leave, sacked all the staff and sold all the best players that were bought and developed during this period. This was all his own work.
There is no purpose to Levy running Spurs since that time.
How can any of us believe in his ability to re-build what he once had but decided to destroy it in favour of his own bullshit?
The neck of the langer hanging around like an eggy fart and patting himself on the back for building the delayed megadome, at an inflated cost, is actually incredible.
The people defending this and trying to buy him more time need to give their heads a wobble.
Levy has had his day and has had a good run on minimal ability as a football club chairman.
Why would anyone want to keep watching him fail THFC?
I can't mate, need to take my step father to Western super-Mare to look at a Lexus.
I can actually remember several occasions when my first knowing of a signing was when I saw them on the pitch in our kit!
Simpler, less mentally taxing times for sure.
I was a table monitor in Primary School. Remember "who wants the skin?" When the custard came out?I was that monitor and never reached such dizzy heights again!
Not really, for me. Im not embarrassed by what the board does. I am by what other fans do because thats who I get associated with.
The manager and the group of players he has deserve to be given the opportunity to show what they have got before a group of idiots go protest and let them know they don't think they are good enough before they've even seen them play a competitive match .

Uh oh the second tier transfer gimps are fighting over the El Khannouss link. Don’t know whose side I’m on but I do know one thing…
WALOB!!
Was Lange spotted at the gates of LCFC wearing a sandwich board ‘Here to discuss a transfer!’
Did the table ever move?
