I would agree with you if half of the anger on this forum wasn't aimed at Fonsecas lack of quality according to some.

But it is....

What, do you don’t agree re Levy and the board? You’re happy with their performance?

And - again - you have to be realistic. Park the ‘back him don’t back him’ thing to one side and look at it objectively. He is a journeyman manager, 11 clubs in 15 years, sacked from his higher profile jobs (Porto/Roma). It is not unreasonable for a fan to suggest that he lacks the quality we need.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a better question..Levy has been carp at football decisions. This doesn't blind me from the fact I see progress with a DoF stepping in. The manager we appoint is the level we are at. So I'm not surprised this is who we might appoint. I even posted an article some weeks ago about Fonseca or Sarri.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Chelsea finished 10th and went and appointed Conte, Leicester were bottom half and got Rodgers. How we did last season is irrelevant, if you say “oh we had a bad season so we need to accept we’re crap and make a bang average appointment that suits our new status” then that is pathetic and shows no ambition to remedy the poor decisions that lead to that crap season in the first place. We have been a CL club for half this decade, we have elite facilities, the board claim they want us back in the CL and playing good football, we stumbled last term but stop sugar coating the fact that we could and should be aiming higher than Paulo Fonseca.
----------------------------------------------------------------------



This. Pointless even bothering to be honest, it’s a rinse and repeat merry go round. No other fans accept mediocrity other than Spurs fans.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Until we have a German system of 51% fan ownership nothing will change. Absolutely nothing, so sadly have to focus on the positives. Levy isn't going anywhere. If you want...don't buy your season ticket, turn off the TV and if you can locate Levys house..pay him a visit.

Till then I'll support the team, review the academy and hope Fonseca proves many wrong. If he fails..he fails...we move on. But I don't see the point in contributing to his failure by being a Conte.

Its a good point we do have ourselves to blame for accepting absolutely no say in how our clubs are run for so long and continuing to pay these obscene prices.
Hopefully that is changing albeit slowly or as I suspect the horse has bolted the stadium and we are left with a NFL/Boxing/Concert venue/Football entity that doesnt really give 2 sh*ts about fan nostalgia for the Spurs arm of the franchise.
