You think this transfer committee has a list of 5/6 players for each position that we need to upgrade? They're useless, they got tel to replace son and tel wasnt good in his loan spell.
Genuinely laughable that this is the latest deflection excuse. Guy was backed heavily, signed a lot of crap. The poor guy just can't catch a break, eh.
That’s what I mean when I said earlier we are in more trouble than we realise. We have a group of players who seem to either not be good enough, don’t care or are scared of their own shadows. We have a board with no footballing experience and adding people to it with even less. We have a recruitment department which has been poor for nearly a decade and we’ve got a gooner as the chief exec.
We are really fucked.
Plus we have a fanbase which, probably rightly now, has no patience because it’s worn thin and a stadium that is toxic because we are so fed up being there watching the above.
We stopped Napoleon (with help from the coalitions) so we stopped Napoleon owning all of mainland Europe, the ends justified the means.
Just like at Mers -el-kebir.
We are ruthless bastards in wars
No Tio, the fact you can only see figures and not able to understand how ludicrously bad the squad state was BEFORE Ange is took over is the only ludicrous thing here I'm afraid.
Thanks to Ange in a couple of years Bergval, Gray potentially Sarr will now all count as homegrown talents. Our squad before was severely lacking in everything, and not producing young players whatsoever.
Fifth most in the world doesn't matter for much when in the crucial years before you were not investing regularly or on the right players. This is without factoring the wages we pay which are capartevly a lot lower than the equivalent "fifth highest spend"
I got no idea.
But I would never expect to see that from a professional goalie.
More so the Summer window, but we certainly need reinforcements.
I personally don't and wouldn't boo, but I blame nobody that does. To say they're not true Tottenham fans, given the amount they shell out for a season ticket and then tickets/travel and everything else on top is a disgrace tbh.
These fans were here before the manager and squad and will be here long after. Given the prices they pay, and the dog shit this regime serve up week after week they are perfectly entitled to boo the fuck out of everybody connected with the club. This isn't Brentford where you're just happy to be competitive, this is a club that says it wants to be at the big table, and charges accordingly. People have rightly had enough, and are perfectly entitled to be heard. Its their only opportunity.
Comments stink of a man who knows he's on borrowed time.

Thats fine, I'll put your insistance on blanketing over our first European trophy in over 30 years down to you being an internet fan buddy
because it's clearly what you are

You can't say that with so much certainty.
If he loses the next 4 league games he'll be gone. It's a results business. He's only getting the season if we see some considerable improvement.
He's on thin ice now
Newcastle away
Brentford home
Forrest away
Liverpool home
Hell he could be gone after Brentford game, the irony
Ear cup incoming on Tuesday
That's what they're there for. Jesus I know people in recruitment in the Scottish championship and they have lists of 10+ for each position, and they're part time. I'm fairly sure a group of full time professionals can muster up 5 or 6.
The Tel signing was done as soon as the loan was made. Weren't paying a £10m loan fee for a kid that was never going to make a big impact. That was sunk cost fallacy. No excusing that mess.
WTF are you talking about?
Levy had complete control over the club, he made all the decisions, no one else.
ENIC were very much hands off under Lewis.
You know... the more I think about this, the more it'd be nailed on.You know who's kicking their heels at the moment?
Life is a circle, certainly as a Spurs fan
How does Ange get credit for Sarr, who was at the club long before he arrived? And he won't count as HG btw, he's 23.
I don't understand how poor investment prior to Ange arriving means that he wasn't sufficiently backed. We spent a small fortune on players Ange wanted, like Maddison (always hurt), Johnson (garbage), Solanke (decent but always hurt), Vicario (good shot stopper, terrible with his feet), and Gray (£44m for potential). It's Frank who's suffering due to bad recruitment of his predecessor.
I think the boos today were a release of frustration from dozens of these kinds of basic mistakes over the course of the last couple of seasons, coupled with the shit football and the cowardly performance in the NLD. And the disgusting home record last 12 montsh. Its been the perfect storm of shitness and people have had enough and Frank and the players need to recognise that.
I couldn't really blame the fans on this one. Normally I would say don't boo your own. But these guys have been far too comfortable and stealing a living for a while now.
Our most common pattern for playing from the back is having 3 CB and either left one (usually VdV) or right one (Porro) is going long.
Then we wait for rebound, pass somehow to Kudus, and either him or Porro makes the cross. Then deflection here and there so we get corner/throw-in.
I dont see any other patterns. Frank won't last long with such trivial concept.

There’s nothing Frank or anyone else for that matter can do with this group of players. They either don’t care or aren’t good enough. I hope he benches the big money players aside from Kudus.
