were enic and levy not at the club before poch joined and we werent consistently getting CL footy and were changing manager every couple of seasons?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
yeah they were.... not sure what your point is? the managers prior were consistently getting top 6 which is a big improvement on the Sugar era...

I reiterate that at the time, most fans, and the media, were all up in arms about the poch appointment.. so he was far from the obvious choice.

Redknapp was a good appointment. so was BMJ... AVB is really the only questionable one of recent times.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
My point isnt criticising levy, its just down playing poch is ridiculous...we bring in another manager and we are back to top 6..which is not what poch has been achieving at spurs, he has been achieving top 3.

Chronic, I never know questioned the stadium aspect and the training facilities etc. I know the club have done brilliant to provide all of this, but we as supporters are getting restless mate and want success. We have been fed this “spurs will rise “ bolloks for years now without really anything to back it up. Time for Spurs to start achieving something mate and we need someone ambitious to lead the way so we can invest properly in the summer and beyond. Liverpool a prime example of sold investment and improving the team without going all Chelsea/ City.

Bottom line is Enic are in it to line their own pockets, trophies don't matter to them as long as they are seeing a tidy profit.

well yes... Tottenham Hotspur are simply another business in the ENIC portfolio... so at the end of the day its a business...

that's the way it is though... unless some billionaire is gonna drop in from some random country and buy us then that's how it is

I think until the last two years Levy/ENIC have done an excellent job. However, over the last couple of years Levy has essentially become stadium project manager and forgotten about everything else.

We have been very poor in the transfer market when we really needed to invest. Our contact negotiations have been a shambles and we will be losing two of our best players in the summer for a relative pittance due to this.

I think the ENIC business model is no longer fit for purpose and I think it would be best for all parties for them to sell in the summer. A bit like Wenger at Arsenal, excellent overall, but at the end it all went a bit sour.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
seems very premature.. lets see how we end the season...

Totally agree Billy and some of us are fed up of it. I don’t really give a sh** if Spurs are in profit or not because of selling Dembele and signing no replacement. That means jack s** to me. What I want is Spurs to match what they perceive as ambition and do something about it.

i am a massive fan of poch and levy what they have done the former for spurs on the pitch and the latter for spurs off it.

No issue with ENIC running us as a business, that is why they own us!

However, IMO they are not running us very well currently. As my article earlier said, FSG are only at Liverpool for an investment, they just have a better model than ENIC.

don you need to stop being so short sighted. honestly... the current spurs model requires patience.. and our supporters continue to be patience.

the whole thing about trophies is a whole different thing... that is all about mentality... because we keep losing semi finals to sides that we are better than....

for example did we lose to Portsmouth in that semi under redknapp because of a lack of investment?


... I am pretty sure levy makes available what he can..... why would he not? it makes no sense for him not to.... he understands that the club wants to be winning things.

the simple fact is that the stadium project must be adversely affecting us... it has over run in cost and timing, so we still have to rent Wembley... hurting us even more... and all these things affect the transfer kitty.


anyone who wants Levy / ENIC out at this moment in time is ridiculous

FSG back their manager mate, Enic don’t. Klopp wants improvements on a leaky defence and he gets the financial backing to spearhead this, hence why Liverpool are now potential title winners. Poch doesnt get this level of backing and he should do, this is my issue.

Liverpool sold coutinho and reinvested...

if we sell Kane I am sure we will reinvest it... but I doubt you would want that would you don?

How patient do you want me to be Chronic ffs? I have seen us win 1 league cup in 20 years under Levy. I think I have been patient enough mate. Time for Spurs to deliver before this side completely dismantles and we are back to square one.

Eriksen is the player we could have sold and reinvested with the money, but have run his contract down very fine now

WHy Kane ? We are pretty much certain to be selling Eriksen next summer so no excuses really is there? They will have no choice but to reinvest and if they don’t then they are in serious danger of it going t** up.

If Coutinho accounts for VVD and Allison, they also bought Fabinho, Keita and Shaqiri...

Then on the wage front we are offering Toby/Eriksen 110k a week when market rate is 150+.

We literally bought nobody and then sold our best CM in January.

We really should have a big transfer kitty available for Poch in the summer, but we all know it will be just Toby and Eriksen money to buy players with potential

yeah but the keeper and VVD are gonna be the reasons why they win this league, if they do.. so you just kinda made my point I was making to don for me..

the spent heavily because they sold a player for huge money.... and we didn't

I love you Sandy, but is it that time of the month my friend? What about the Keith Burkinshaw days? If Levy is such a "star" then why has he blown our best chance of going top of the League this season by not reinforcing our squad with his lack of investment.
I blame him for the reason Poch is as he is. Remember what Poch said, and I quote from the link I posted, ""That showed that we still have a lot of work to do, that showed we are not mature enough, that showed that to be in the last level you need more effort, you need more quality, to increase your capacity of commitment."... I believe this was a message from Poch to Levy. Anyway, let's how all this pans out. No matter what, we do have an immense new state of the art stadium and I believe the future is bright, no question. Just been going through a frustrating - typical Spursy - period that so many of us are used to be my now. At least we should be. They dangle that carrot in front of us time and time again and we see the light at the end of the tunnel only to real eyes it's a freight train.

Salah was their best player at the time they sold him

----------------------------------------------------------------------
fine... Son then, Dele Alli, someone else quality and attacking...

you are completely missing the point.... Liverpool sold a key attacking player for huge money and reinvested the funds in a CB and GK, which has hugely strengthened the team...

spurs have not sold an attacking player for huge money, therefore didn't have that money to reinvest...


I understand what you are saying.. but the example of Liverpool is a poor one.. as countinho sale funded the players who at making the most difference to them !

I'll be staggered if anybody is willing to pay even £50m with just 1 year on his contract.

I got an email from a Nigerian, he said he needs a bank account to deposit a few million for safety or something. I was about to give him my details but on second thoughts, maybe the club would benefit. I was just shopping around for a new boat on eBay, but will sacrifice it all if Levy can be trusted to spend it wisely. Who do I contact?
