People really giving him a million chances with "in order to repair some of the damages... he needs to act decisively". He HAS acted decisively but they've been abysmal. His head should have gone when he sacked Jose which everyone could see coming from the day of his appointment.

Pretty sure Brighton can go top tonight and yet Levy's defensively focused DOF decided not to approach Potter

Club is rotten from top to bottom and it all starts with Levy

I think we're on the same page!

I'm not giving him a million chances though. If he and ENIC don't want to sell (which they don't) then how can we get rid of Levy?

Levy certainly has to take a portion of the blame as he appoints the personnel that run the on field activity, but for fack sake how can Nuno not see that the system does not suit us at all and will get him the sack very soon. unbelievable. just change the facking system to what suits the players... !!!!!

Levy is not the one who picks the team

I think the only reason he appointed a DOF in the summer was an attempt to remove himself from the firing line. But the fans are not falling for it.

I’ve been ready to walk away from spurs forever but finally it seems people are waking up to what some of us have been saying for a while.

We need to save our club before it disappears forever.

No more defending levy. Get him and Enic out, at all costs.

unless one of us is sitting on about 5 billion in the bank, then there is no way to actually get enic out though.

I think you can justify almost all the decisions that he has made tbf, he’s had a few bad moments recently but I don’t really see anyone better coming in?

A lot of people forget it isn’t really his money, it’s Joe Lewis’s, which I agree there should be a pile-on regarding that tax dodging f**king toad

The club cares more about its own image and PR than it does about winning football matches..... It's all style over substance. The only way to make levy look bad/ ENIC is to not go to games and those that do Boo their hearts out, demonstrate, don't spend money and make it clear we want change....... Make the atmosphere truly toxic

Supporting any aspect of what the club is doing is pointless.. The players don't care, the manager is out of his depth and the ownership only cares about its "sports entertainment/ urban development" vanity project.

The club needs a MASSIVE reset. Lifelong supporters are starting to feel that hoping we lose games is the only solution to get rid of ENIC

There's your legacy Daniel

Yep, Levy is a disgrace. The managerial farce was peak Levy. Completely clueless. Hires a DoF with a completely different philosophy, and ended up with a total dud of a manager.

Only thing I'm looking forward to on Sunday is the crowd going in hard on Levy and ENIC.

This exactly...he is faking dumb if he gets sacked playing 433 and deserves it. I'm supporting him still because 10 games is where we shall really see our form. A lot can change but he needs to quit this 433 nonsense.

Kane and Son up top
Drop Dele for Skipp
Drop a CB and get Romero in...the guy played Copa final against Brazil but Einsteins think he won't understand a North London Derby

You lot think you have it bad.

Imagine being run by a 4-man board made up of -

1. A remote American owner with all the club equity
2. His equally remote son
3. Some toff who spent his entire career selling carpets
4. And their corporate lawyer mate.

None of whom has attended a single game so far this season. Not even a NLD at the Emirates.

I cant see anyone putting a billion plus into this club just to buy it. We stuck with Danny

On the positive side we get to play a meaningless game against a team of Gregorian Monks in a tin pot euro comp on Thursday with probably most of our best 11 having to turn out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not ideal but I don't think last week's ECL game caused yesterday's game to turn out like it did.

Yesterday was all about bad team selection, bad tactics, bad in-game management and a bad attitude/application by most of the players.

I'm not relinquishing responsibility for Levy here but why does Paratici come away scott-free? Sure, every big footballing decision can be pointed to the very top eventually but whilst Levy hired Paratici, it was Paratici himself that pushed massively for Nuno, a more defensive coach, ripping up the club manifesto in the process. Before him he wanted Gattuso. That's the measure of the kind of person he wants.

Then there's his signings. It would be remiss to judge this early on but Royal looks pretty ordinary to me whilst the one we turned down in Tomiyasu is making people sit up and take notice. Tim Vickery said much the same about Royal when we signed him. As the South American football expert, he knows his onions and just couldn't see the fascination with the player.

Romero has barely played and doesn't seem to be trusted over two of the worst centre backs our club has ever known. He cost us over £50m. Jesus!!!!!

Gil looks like he might be decent but Lamela plus 25m? I'm expecting a starter for that money.

I know Levy made the decision to hire Paratici but it was Paratici himself that was pushing Levy to move away from the more progressive managers like Potter, and go more pragmatic.

The buck stops with Levy but the path we're on now is very much the fault of Paratici.

Nuno is not really to blame here. He's a defensive manager. What did we expect? It's Paratici's fault for not recognising the very square peg he was forcing into the roundest of holes. Moron.

What you say about Paratici is true. But Levy gets 100% of the blame from me because he hired the guy without really thinking it through. He appears to have been seduced by the fact that Paratici worked for Juventus and, more importantly, was available to us without having to pay a fee.

Every decision Levy makes is done so with his bottom line at the front of his mind.

Do anything on the cheap, and invariably you end up with a sub standard results.

Many people stated the fact that paratici had zero experience of changing an entire squad especially with young players and that he was a defensive minded dof

Levy still hired him.

Yea, Levy takes the blame for hiring both Paratici and Nuno.

Both men go completely against his DNA comments. It's just gross incompetence. We're most likely stuck with this shiiite for a while. No doubt Nuno will be the first fall guy.

Then Levy either trusts Paratici again and we end up with another dull negative manager or he actually overrules him and gets what we need but in doing so undermines Paratici.

Another fine mess made by our Daniel.

As I said, Levy is just as much to blame but there seemed very little in the way of finger pointing in Paratici's direction and he was the one that set us on this path with this manager.

Levy is an idiot. Anyone who watched the doc can see that. As a businessman, there's little better but as a football man, he's an idiot. He needs to be handled in the same way a terrible boss often is. You listen to what he has to say and you do the opposite and get results. I've had bosses just like that. You wonder how they got there but you're stuck with them. The best you can do is manage upwards. The same applies here but every now and then, another idiot will sit just below the original idiot. The blind will lead the blind. When that happens, catastrophic decisions get made. Prior to this, I think Hitchen was managing Levy upwards. He's been pushed aside and now we've got the two idiots making every single football decision and ballsing it all up.

I seriously dunno why you hired him, wasn't even the best DoF in Italy, let alone Europe, and didn't fit you at all. Igli Tare (Lazio's DoF) would've been a much better choice.

Maybe he was the only one up for the gig, but if Levy was reeled in by the superficial "he was at Juventus for 10 years, so he must be the best" he's a fool

Well that same logic was basically why we went for Jose
