What’s my agenda?
That I think Levy knows faaack all and can’t take the club forward
Do you feel differently to that? Do you think that Levy can deliver trophies?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Your agenda is that you support anything that suits your anti-Levy stance. Even if it supporting something the cretin Matt Law says, it would be like a Liverpool fan supporting something said in the S*n cos it suited their agenda.
I think Levy knows a lot about football, hence how we've been largely on an upwards trajectory under his reign until recently.
Do I think Levy can deliver trophies? I think thats a difficult question to answer as I don't think we are a club who can expect trophies. As much as we've progressed and as good as we are, we are still the 6th biggest club in England based on revenue.
I think we should have won a trophy or two in the time-being, but I don't think people would change their tune if we had a league cup. I don't think, however, it is Levy's fault that we played Son in a FA Cup semi-final, or Vorm in a FA Cup semi-final, or lost to a team with a manager in jail, or played an obviously tactically wrong front three of Son/Richy/Moura, or that we handled the ball due to a BS rule 3 minutes into a CL final.
I think he has his flaws, but I don't think people discuss what they are correctly. They just bang about a load of nonsense which often aligns closely with anti-Jewish stereotypes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well first off I’m not anti Jewish, I am anti Levy - the fact he is Jewish does not affect my feelings with regards to his running of our club one way or another, I just think that he knows faaack all about building a successful team on the pitch.
Secondly I accept we spend good money - just never appropriately.
My thoughts on Levy is this - his initial phase at this club was very successful - he took us from being lower mid table to a club consistently in Europe. Financially he has us now mixing with the big boys.
However he has completely lost his way since getting us back into the European places, his litany of crimes are as follows:
Sacks Jol at Half time in a game we won 6-0 after big Martin had put us back on the map
Sacks AVB after he gets us a record points total and has Gareth Bale sold
Sacks Redknapp after he gets us two 4th placed finishes
Sacks Poch after he gets us a CL final and 4th place after a summer with zero spend
First club ever with a zero spend summer
Sacks Jose 6 days before a cup final
Talks about finding a manager that matches Spurs DNA - then takes 7 weeks and eventually appoints Nuno- you reckon Levy knows about football though
Sacks Nuno after the fans really turn on Levy after the United game - schitts his pants and pays Conte £15m to save his own skin.
Conte - takes a team from 9th to 4th. On the brink of sacking Co te whilst we’re 4th
Please argue with any of the above?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I could add to the 'litany of crimes', but I never said he was flawless. I just think people forget that we are the 6th ranked side in terms of finances in a sport that is all about whoever has the most money ususally wins.
If you want me to argue the above, for some reason, then sure (or at least the points that I don't agree with/are wrong):
2. Sacking AVB was the complete right choice, the manager had lost his head and the dressing room completely. Sherwood, of all people, managed more and built a better squad in his image.
3. Tough one RE Redknapp but he had lost it after trying to leave us for England.
5. We had spent an additional £500m on a Stadium & Poch according to a lot of substantial reports had vetoed certain players (Tielemans for example)
6. That was very funny tbf
7. Paratici identified the manager, not Levy so wrong person to go at.
9. Conte deserves to get sacked as there is no point keeping a manager who doesnt want to be here & the players and him hate eachother.
Daniel Levy has been in the job for 22 years which is far too long in my opinion in any line of business.
Daniel levy is now age 61. It's about time he started thinking about early retirement (he can afford to) and stepping aside for someone fresh. Surely he must be getting a bit fed up and bored with it all?
I don't mind that someone having similar credentials to Levy but in the interests of the football club they need to be completely independent from ENIC.
They need to put the football team at the heart of everything (not ENIC) and every business strand such as property, entertainment events, sporting events etc, need to serve the purpose and interests of developing and improving the first team as the priority number 1. Yes they need to deal with ENIC and Levy as the main investor but at least they would be independent.
That person needs to appoint a board that has a football focus coverage as well as dealing with the other business.
The Frankfurt manager would suit our players and he plays an attacking 3-4-3, could even give us the edge in signing Ndicka

Levy hired all of AVB/Redknapp/Jol/Conte/Paratici - ultimately the buck stops with him.
As for being the 6th richest - that’s an absolutely fine excuse for not winning the league. But we’ve been knocked out of the FA cup over the last 4 years by Sheff U, Boro, Burnley, Norwich.
We’ve lost in the League cup to Colchester, Forest
We were by some distance the most financially well resourced side in the European Conference League
We enter the Europa League as one of the 3 richest every time
So why the consistent failure - because the leadership from the top want CL football above trophies which means we get a certain distance, the games bunch up and something us to give - the answer with us is always to throw the cup game.
You look at United this season - they keep getting through in the cup even though it’s currently detrimental to league form - why don’t we try that - just once

Supposedly there is a bit of a power struggle with Vivienne Lewis wishing to inherit the mantle
I don’t really disagree with what you said there striketeams. But I don’t think it’s as black and white as you’ve made out. He wasn’t responsible for the failures in the cups of Poch or Redknapp (I think going back further to Jol is OTT)
He hired Jose for that very reason of winning trophies and he couldn’t even beat a team with a manager in prison while we held a 2-0 lead.
I think he is 9.5/10 for non-footballing stuff and 4.5/10 for footballing stuff. I would like to have a DoF make more of the footballing decisions & Levy wasn’t to know that in Paratici he hired a criminal.

Poor chairman repeatedly hires the wrong managers and buys players that the managers don't want.... Its a vicious circle that starts & finishes with Levy. The club is going nowhere with ENIC in charge... Its a waste of everyone's time and money..... Spurs should just be left to the tourists, concert goers, go kart enthusiasts and the NFL...... Its DEAD as a premier league football club... The soul and fabric of what made it a great (If not always successful) football club has been totally destroyed by Daniel Levy & Joe Lewis

Supposedly it’s Tuchel or Enrique - that’s what Paul O’Keefe is saying.
Both currently out of work so no compensation payment.
Tuchel admired Spurs as a boy and still has a house in London.
Crucially for Levy, Tuchel used to manage Chelsea

Remember we had 3 managers in Redknapp, Jol & Poch who gave us some terrific times and full on attacking football.
None of these were so called “elite” managers, yet in a poll of the last couple of decades would certainly be the most popular Spurs manager who the fans loved.
Yes, I would welcome Poch back with open arms, and if not him then either Thomas Frank or Roberto De Zerbi would be good shouts.
Some of the pundits are begging up Vincent Kompany, but not sure about that one. Although he is doing a great job at Burnley🤔
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you watched Brentford? They play dull percentage football. I don’t want Franks at all.
It’s interesting that other managers believe Conte is right about this squad being weak minded, I think we all knew that.
Those thinking it can’t be that bad, who wouldn’t want to manage Spurs - let’s remember when Jose was sacked we spent 7 weeks without a manager and had to settle for Nuno in the end as the only other options were Fonseca and Gattusso.

Redknapp criminally didn't win anything with a brilliant squad including prime King Bale VVD Lennon Modric et al lost an FA SF to Pompey and took his eye off the ball when flirting with England after Capello was sacked costing us UCL football.

Conte - takes a team from 9th to 4th. On the brink of sacking Co te whilst we’re 4th
Please argue with any of the above?

I could add to the 'litany of crimes', but I never said he was flawless. I just think people forget that we are the 6th ranked side in terms of finances in a sport that is all about whoever has the most money ususally wins.
If you want me to argue the above, for some reason, then sure (or at least the points that I don't agree with/are wrong):
2. Sacking AVB was the complete right choice, the manager had lost his head and the dressing room completely. Sherwood, of all people, managed more and built a better squad in his image.
3. Tough one RE Redknapp but he had lost it after trying to leave us for England.
5. We had spent an additional £500m on a Stadium & Poch according to a lot of substantial reports had vetoed certain players (Tielemans for example)
6. That was very funny tbf
7. Paratici identified the manager, not Levy so wrong person to go at.
9. Conte deserves to get sacked as there is no point keeping a manager who doesnt want to be here & the players and him hate eachother.

Daniel Levy has been in the job for 22 years which is far too long in my opinion in any line of business.
Daniel levy is now age 61. It's about time he started thinking about early retirement (he can afford to) and stepping aside for someone fresh. Surely he must be getting a bit fed up and bored with it all?
I don't mind that someone having similar credentials to Levy but in the interests of the football club they need to be completely independent from ENIC.
They need to put the football team at the heart of everything (not ENIC) and every business strand such as property, entertainment events, sporting events etc, need to serve the purpose and interests of developing and improving the first team as the priority number 1. Yes they need to deal with ENIC and Levy as the main investor but at least they would be independent.
That person needs to appoint a board that has a football focus coverage as well as dealing with the other business.

You
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What’s my agenda?
That I think Levy knows faaack all and can’t take the club forward
Do you feel differently to that? Do you think that Levy can deliver trophies?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Your agenda is that you support anything that suits your anti-Levy stance. Even if it supporting something the cretin Matt Law says, it would be like a Liverpool fan supporting something said in the S*n cos it suited their agenda.
I think Levy knows a lot about football, hence how we've been largely on an upwards trajectory under his reign until recently.
Do I think Levy can deliver trophies? I think thats a difficult question to answer as I don't think we are a club who can expect trophies. As much as we've progressed and as good as we are, we are still the 6th biggest club in England based on revenue.
I think we should have won a trophy or two in the time-being, but I don't think people would change their tune if we had a league cup. I don't think, however, it is Levy's fault that we played Son in a FA Cup semi-final, or Vorm in a FA Cup semi-final, or lost to a team with a manager in jail, or played an obviously tactically wrong front three of Son/Richy/Moura, or that we handled the ball due to a BS rule 3 minutes into a CL final.
I think he has his flaws, but I don't think people discuss what they are correctly. They just bang about a load of nonsense which often aligns closely with anti-Jewish stereotypes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well first off I’m not anti Jewish, I am anti Levy - the fact he is Jewish does not affect my feelings with regards to his running of our club one way or another, I just think that he knows faaack all about building a successful team on the pitch.
Secondly I accept we spend good money - just never appropriately.
My thoughts on Levy is this - his initial phase at this club was very successful - he took us from being lower mid table to a club consistently in Europe. Financially he has us now mixing with the big boys.
However he has completely lost his way since getting us back into the European places, his litany of crimes are as follows:
Sacks Jol at Half time in a game we won 6-0 after big Martin had put us back on the map
Sacks AVB after he gets us a record points total and has Gareth Bale sold
Sacks Redknapp after he gets us two 4th placed finishes
Sacks Poch after he gets us a CL final and 4th place after a summer with zero spend
First club ever with a zero spend summer
Sacks Jose 6 days before a cup final
Talks about finding a manager that matches Spurs DNA - then takes 7 weeks and eventually appoints Nuno- you reckon Levy knows about football though
Sacks Nuno after the fans really turn on Levy after the United game - schitts his pants and pays Conte £15m to save his own skin.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Levy hired all of AVB/Redknapp/Jol/Conte/Paratici - ultimately the buck stops with him.
As for being the 6th richest - that’s an absolutely fine excuse for not winning the league. But we’ve been knocked out of the FA cup over the last 4 years by Sheff U, Boro, Burnley, Norwich.
We’ve lost in the League cup to Colchester, Forest
We were by some distance the most financially well resourced side in the European Conference League
We enter the Europa League as one of the 3 richest every time
So why the consistent failure - because the leadership from the top want CL football above trophies which means we get a certain distance, the games bunch up and something us to give - the answer with us is always to throw the cup game.
You look at United this season - they keep getting through in the cup even though it’s currently detrimental to league form - why don’t we try that - just once

I don’t really disagree with what you said there striketeams. But I don’t think it’s as black and white as you’ve made out. He wasn’t responsible for the failures in the cups of Poch or Redknapp (I think going back further to Jol is OTT)
He hired Jose for that very reason of winning trophies and he couldn’t even beat a team with a manager in prison while we held a 2-0 lead.
I think he is 9.5/10 for non-footballing stuff and 4.5/10 for footballing stuff. I would like to have a DoF make more of the footballing decisions & Levy wasn’t to know that in Paratici he hired a criminal.

Poor chairman repeatedly hires the wrong managers and buys players that the managers don't want.... Its a vicious circle that starts & finishes with Levy. The club is going nowhere with ENIC in charge... Its a waste of everyone's time and money..... Spurs should just be left to the tourists, concert goers, go kart enthusiasts and the NFL...... Its DEAD as a premier league football club... The soul and fabric of what made it a great (If not always successful) football club has been totally destroyed by Daniel Levy & Joe Lewis

Supposedly it’s Tuchel or Enrique - that’s what Paul O’Keefe is saying.
Both currently out of work so no compensation payment.
Tuchel admired Spurs as a boy and still has a house in London.
Crucially for Levy, Tuchel used to manage Chelsea

Remember we had 3 managers in Redknapp, Jol & Poch who gave us some terrific times and full on attacking football.
None of these were so called “elite” managers, yet in a poll of the last couple of decades would certainly be the most popular Spurs manager who the fans loved.
Yes, I would welcome Poch back with open arms, and if not him then either Thomas Frank or Roberto De Zerbi would be good shouts.
Some of the pundits are begging up Vincent Kompany, but not sure about that one. Although he is doing a great job at Burnley🤔
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you watched Brentford? They play dull percentage football. I don’t want Franks at all.
It’s interesting that other managers believe Conte is right about this squad being weak minded, I think we all knew that.
Those thinking it can’t be that bad, who wouldn’t want to manage Spurs - let’s remember when Jose was sacked we spent 7 weeks without a manager and had to settle for Nuno in the end as the only other options were Fonseca and Gattusso.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He works with the tools supplied and does pretty well, the two times I have been to Brentford this season they play very good football👍

Redknapp criminally didn't win anything with a brilliant squad including prime King Bale VVD Lennon Modric et al lost an FA SF to Pompey and took his eye off the ball when flirting with England after Capello was sacked costing us UCL football.
The football was great but if any manager is guilty of not delivering when given all the tools it was him!

I don’t know how anyone can complain about Conte ball but be behind Frank Ball - bizarre, but then elements of our fan base often are.
I wouldn’t worry anyway, it won’t be Thomas Frank - all the noise is one of Enrique or Tuchel
