Just hope we make top 4 now. That’s all I can hope for from this season
I think the template for this season was set on the opening day at Newcastle, we were dreadful but got a result. Apart from the odd game or 2 its been a tough watch and a season of endurance rather than enjoyment.
levy has nothing to do with the stadium build facking up..... hes not a builder, or a surveyor or a building supervisor...
the fack up for the stadium is down to those building it.
however he is responsible for communication with the fans, and this could have been better

To be fair, Levy could (and should) have planned for a two season absence whilst the stadium was being built. If it completed earlier...then happy days.
I think the rush to announce that we'd be in by the start of this season was due to wanting to maximise season ticket revenue. Revenue that the club has now lost of course.
If you continue to gather points in the last 10 games as the previous 28 then this will be Spurs' best point total for goodness knows how long. Certainly 25 years +.
Not bad for a transition season.

true, possibly a calculated business risk.... but part of it I'm sure was that we all facking hate wembley and wanna go home.
presumably levy was advised we would need one season away, and therefore was badly advised...
if he was told we needed two, and only told us one, then that's poor, but I don't think that's the case because we had that whole dumb marketing campaign about the only place in London to watch the CL this season being new WHL.
the whole delay thing is unbelievably spursy.. and this season is turning into another spursy classic

Levy is very much responsible. He is the CEO and responsible for the project. It looks very much like Levy's unrealistic time scales are a big reason for the delays and constant facking up around the safety systems.
A CEO is always accountable. Either he has set unrealistic deadlines or hired an incompetent firm, either way he has failed to deliver the project on time and on budget.

We'll never know what was discussed, but I suspect that the builders said the stadium could be ready, but that it would be tight. As you say, Levy took a calculated business risk, but isn't that part of the problem? For a football club, business risk cannot be the main driver. You have to think about the fans too.
Liverpool are a perfect example of where we could have been if only we'd invested in a couple of real quality players to take us to the next level.
It's pointless doing that this summer if it means losing the likes of Eriksen and trying to replace him or Toby.
We've generally failed with big signings. Our scouting and transfers need to improve at the higher level. We can't carry on taking £10m punts on players and then praising Levy but forgetting the terrible ones that didn't work out but brushed under the carpet due to lower value deal.
For every Alli there has been two Chiriches.

how far do you take it then?....... I suppose its all Joe Lewis' fault then.... .. hes the owner...
is Levy also responsible for Trippier's OG last night?
what about the fans that smash up the toilets at Chelsea and arsenal away every time we play there? Levy's fault I assume?
my point is that yeah the CEO is responsible for everything in corporate gibberish blah blah, but in the actual scenario itself, the reason for the stadium being delayed, is not Levy, it is the people who were hired to do the job, doing a bad job.
Now, if he didn't build contingency into his plan, then that's Levys fault... but the stadium itself being delayed, is not.
OP you can't call a free hit season in February after your chances of winning anything have been blown apart.
How is it transitional ffs.
Same manager, same stadium, same players.

that was 1st half of the season sandy. 2nd half of the season sandy wants the manager and all the players to leave
It’s starting to feel like every season is a transitional season...
I thought at the start of the season that if we could finish in a top four position that that would be a very acceptable outcome. There is no upside to more or less playing a whole season at Wembley.
Up until a couple of weeks ago it seemed that despite our injury problems and not playing that well we had somehow managed to keep achieving good results and banking a good points total and built a good gap from our main rivals. We were odds on favourites to get that coveted top four finish.
Now, for whatever reason, that has all been thrown into serious jeopardy. Our three main challengers all seem to have found good momentum as we enter the business end of the season and we look done in.
To start next season in the new stadium without CL football would be an absolute disaster especially in the immediate and short term.
Free hit? Transitional season? If we miss out on top four after putting ourselves in such a strong position it will end up as a "totally f@cked it up season".
