You won’t be the only one on here!
I believe the 18/19 windows were 80% Levy but 20% Poch.The Summer Window before the CL final, we become the only team ever not to sign any players ,
Tottenham make transfer window history with no summer signings
Tottenham have made summer transfer window history for all the wrong reasons.www.standard.co.uk
I do agree that we should have won more and Levy can't take all the blame as we are getting to the finals , so its a 1 off game, I do feel though he will just do whatever he thinks is enough in terms of spending etc to get us to compete for Top 5 , now we are in the new stadium I would actually like us to start acting like a big club and if finishing 17th wasn't a wake up call then I don't know what is for Levy.
He said almost word for word "it's very hard to upgrade this 11"
And he was right with the budgets we had.
But the bench and squad wasn't deep enough to compete on 2 fronts consistently. We should have been looking at complimenting that 11 with good players to rotate.
17th isn't where this squad should finish though. We could make no signings, and just have a decent coach, who isn't sending his men into a gun fight with a banana, and we'd see a huge improvement.
Bookies had Ange favourite to keep his job
ITK told them that.Bookies had Ange favourite to keep his job
Levy will defo have to step down then…arf-arf!
Or was it KFA
It's not lowering expectations. It's giving a short grace period for him to implement ideas, bed in new players and forge new coaching methods.
Players aren't just going to adapt to a new system and new ideas overnight.
We need to view the progression as a whole, not just a finishing position in the league, or the distance in a cup run.
They're just jealous cause we're DILFs
I'm quite excited someone's managed to spell Mbeumo correctly
I feel that the trophy thing is a bit of a red herring.
On an optics level, the narrative easily becomes "just one trophy in 17 years" or "no domestic trophy in 17 years", or "no league title in 60+ years.
On a practical level, channelling my inner Levy, trophies are hard to win. In the present era they are generally hoovered up by the cheat clubs, and should they slip up then there's a group of traditional super clubs just below that. A club outside of City, Chelsea, Liverpool, and going a bit further back Woolwich and Man Utd, winning a trophy is a relative rarity, and it's a rarity for every club, not just us.
It's highlighted more with us though because we have on and off pushed into that upper echelon more consistently than anyone else.
We're obviously more sensitive to it because we are Spurs fans, but there's this notion that we're a laughing stock, or the butt of the joke, when in reality we're far from it, 95% of clubs in the country would love to be in our position.
But back to the point, I'm not so sure that getting this supposed hoodoo off of our back is going to lead to a glut of trophies coming our way, or that it makes our squad any more likely to succeed in the next cup competition we enter.
I wonder how they pronounce it…..
"No Dickheads"
....that's gonna be one HELL of a revolving door this Summer!!
Let's ask Glenn Hoddle.
"What a signing he is proving to be for Spurs that Ham-boo-eno. What a player."
