Overall, Levy has probably done more good for the club, than bad. He's made some very questionable football related decisions but the failings are across the club.

I still think our players and managers get off far too lightly. Ultimately it is they who have to deliver on the pitch. It's their only job and they are paid insane amounts of money to do it. It's not Levy's fault we are failing to beat teams like Leicester.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

As much as I get what you are saying - Levy ultimately runs the club and so the buck stops with him. Brian Clough said that if you sack the manager then you should sack the person who hired him - now I don’t agree with that as we all make mistakes but how many managers has Levy now hired and fired
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The buck does stop with him, of course, but it's not like we have/had a terrible team of players. "He" has assembled teams good enough to challenge and even get to a CL final. On the day though, it's the players who fell short.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

He has also stopped us from being consistent by flip flopping on strategy and style - we went from Poch to Jose, a huge change and a squad that was never in his image and then sacked him 6 days before a cup final - that was without a shadow of a doubt 100% on Levy.

He then hired Nuno - not even close to being good enough

Brings in Conte who gets us to the CL immediately and then didn’t back him the next summer when he asked for Bastoni

Now we have completely changed style again with Ange and have had to completely overhaul the squad again.

We’ve gone through half a dozen DOF - we went from Hitchen to Paratici to Lange in 4 years

Just define a strategy/philosophy - make minor alterations where necessary and stick to it. He can’t though, I bet he gets itchy fingers with Ange in the next 12 months, you can smell it coming

I can totally get why people are fed up...the whole Jam tomorrow thing has been Spurs MO for a decade or more.

I am happy to be patient with this new regime, the new footballing directors, manager, young group of players. because I would rather do that than be miserable about the past.

Some people see everything in the context of the past, so their demand for immediate success is based on the fact that we've been starved of it and are naturally inpatient for it.

I can understand that position, and especially as Spurs are increasingly the butt of many jokes. It hurts but ultimately I just want to enjoy supporting Spurs, in my +40 years of doing so we have never been a serial trophy winners so my expectations have never been centred on that...but it has been far too long and our last 30 years or so (so also preceding ENIC) is an embarrassment.

But all of that should not detract people from thinking that developing a squad takes time, money is not limitless and the path we are on now is 1 year in and is a steady one, not a fast track.

COYS!

I was listening to a Tottenham podcast calling fans who are upset with a potential rise in ticket prices as being silly and moaning about helping the club with more money into the club.

For me it is a slippery slope, if the rule got passed and we slapped every away fan with more fees how long before that is passed to us as Tottenham fans?

We would be paying extra in response from every single away club and then it would just rise and rise because like Liverpool, Arsenal and Yanited we have a huge amount of fans so if one fan is priced out there is always one behind to pay it.

I think a proposal where away fans pay at a rate of the cheapest home fan, that's fair and prevents exploitation.

To avoid situations where, say, United away fans always pay Cat.A prices, maybe all away tickets should eb capped at the average cheapest ticket, across all categories.

SO if cheapest home tickets are £45 for Saints, £55 for Newcastle, and £65 for United, then all away fans pay teh average (£55 in this example).

I find it staggering that Spurs fans can go away to Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, United and pay £30 to watch top level football. I can barely get my son in to watch us at home to Ipswich for that money.

So for me its not really about affordability or business ,particularly for away fans, its as much about fairness...why has that guy got the same seat as me and paid less than half? The club will see it as business of course....and fair play to them. We don't have a responsibility to away fans.

lots of failed writers here

Happy to freeze the away prices at £30 but faaaack loyalty points off and make away tickets a ballot.

What you can’t have is the same faces going to every away game because of their loyalty points and then moaning they don’t want to pay more than £30 for the privilege - there are fans behind them in loyalty points willing to pay 2 or 3 times the price - it has to be fair for all

They did something to try and help but just faaacked it instead

yeah, now its an exclusive closed shop

Random but it seems Domino’s Pizza are on the WUM.

So now Levy has now sunk to even lower depths, he won't let David Pleat sell his autobiography in the club shop. A fine way to treat a man who has served Spurs for around 4 decades.
