ENIC have clearly done a lot right: the Stadium is incredible, the training ground is one of the best in the world, and the club is in amazing financial health.
But football isn't about bricks and mortar or bottom lines, its about passion, love, identity, and most of all emotional connection, and that's always been my biggest problem with these owners, they've so stripped the club of any character or meaning whatsoever.
We are no longer the great entertainers, we aren't a Southampton, Ajax, or Anderlecht who have a long tradition of youth development or footballing culture, we aren't a proud regional team like Bilbao, or a hipster club like St Pauli or Venezia who whatever their performances on the pitch can wear their alternative identities proudly, or a left-wing club like Livorno, or a fan-owned team which engages heavily with the local community. We are nothing anymore, just areal estate business with a football team tacked onto it.
For me that's the thing that hurts the most.
Where is the emotional investment?

Plenty of fans enjoy emotional connection to their club. We had it under Poch and I’m pretty sure fans of Brighton,Newcastle, woolwich are enjoying it right now. It’s all about how the club is run, the people in charge leading a culture in tune with the traditions of the club.
Levy destroyed the culture when he hired Jose. Apart from the obvious WUM on here, no spurs fan I know has felt much connection with the club since then. If we don’t have our traditions then we don’t have our identity
That is why I want levy out. He is not the man we need to get us back to where we want to be. He has had enough chances. He even said he knew what our DNA was, then he hired Nuno.
We need to make things so so uncomfortable for levythat he has to relinquish control of footballing matters and stay out completely.
I’m glad to read fans like you talking in this way, it’s the one thing levy can’t buy. Tottenham is nothing without its soul. We fans are that soul.

I shall be back again next season even if Spurs lose the rest of the games this season, because I love my Levy, and will support him through thick and thin.

Newcastle and Woolwich fans have been moaning for years about their club. Just because they are having one good season, don't mean next year they won't be moaning again next season about their club.

Nah just a supporter. I am fed up with the constant nonsense about the owners and Pochettino. Who gives a feck?

The thing is, these days, people who continue to turn up through thick and thin are not supporting Spurs anymore, they are supporting ENIC.
Tottenham Hotspur Football Club ceased being a serious footballing concern years ago, these days it is nothing but a means to increase the value of the owners investment.
