He is indicative of the general disfunctionality of football. You see it across the professional game now. We were told since the turn of the century 'football is a business...football is a business...football is a business..." almost to indoctrinate fans so that many people simply repeated the mantra until they believed it uncritically. But the more accurate analysis is that football has been captured by business - private equity for example - and they run it like another asset. With one exception. An MBA or corporate experience gives you zero expertise in football, either playing it or coaching it. And yet such people are the self appointed executives who think they know a good player when they see one, or know what it takes or looks like to be a top coach. They get a chance to be the boss of a sport they were all crap at playing and don't really know much about, a kind of cosplay fantasy. The disasterous managerial appointments (Amorim, Frank, Postocoglou, Nancy, Potter etc etc etc), the awful transfer windows (Lange, Tisdale, Levy) and the general club policies smack of private equity making exec decisions on something they are clueless about. They share the positions out to each other like nepotistic musical chairs but never allow ex professionals who were at the top of the game to be in those positions and make those decisions. They do the same with education, healthcare, hospitals and transport systems. Imagine how well Spurs would be doing, the players they would have on the pitch, the style they would be playing in, if player scouting, transfers and technical directorship were in the hands of a Pleat, Redknapp or Carragher instead of these corporate gaslighters?

I'd take Carragher just so he can spit in the face of Frank and tell him to fuck off!!!

He's a cunt... not a fucking word whilst the club languishes in 13th. All the optimism after the Europa League win completely destroyed in 6 months!!! I almost wish we had Levy back...

Thought he was a bad egg from the start, something about him stinks! And although Levy was in it for what he could make, he did appreciate our history, and at heart he was a Spurs supporter.
Seems like the whole rotten lot of them should go, but whose got the cash that ENIC would demand?

Supposed to be a great communicator with the fans, unlike Levy, yet as you say…silence! What exactly has he done or is he doing…..just silence! Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad Levy is gone but this gooner isn’t the answer.

This is the problem... anyone with that sort of money is either an oil state, a dodgy businessman from Russia or Asia or the head of the investment firm in the US... the only other option is a complete and utter nutbag like the guy in the picture above... all that being said though... if Kim Jong Un promised to spend a billion every season, did it and we won everything, none of us would care!!!
