For a Club That Prioritizes .....

Page 1 of 1

posted on 19/4/23

Apols.. meant the result Vs Bournemouth.... Point being I cannot think of another club that has the performance of the team so far down its list of priorities.

I honestly think we'll be out in the press making a big deal of some commercial/ real estate deal or some stadium related money making scheme months before sorting a manager or making a clearly thought out decision about Kane..... Total shambles

The club is not run to achieve sporting success - that’s the long and short of it.

The club is built to extract as much money as it can from fans - that’s is a business, not a club.

We are not fans, we are customers.

When more people realise this we might see change at the club, until then we will be lucky to scrape European qualification and fortunate if a top manager ever wants to work for us again.

We should be al over Arne Slot by the way

Face it guys, the stadium ( and therefore Tottenham as we know it ) is now just a glorified events business. A bit like the O2 or Wembley Arena.

Levy no longer see's us as a Football Club, and just one of many revenue streams, all going into the Enic balance sheet.

Levy knows as long as he does enough to remain in the PL, until the current football gravy train bubble burst's, he, his fellow directors and Lewis we continue with 'business as usual'

Anyone who thinks he and his cronies actually give a toss about us, the fans, and our desire to follow a successful team who win stuff, is living in cloud cookoo.

I said it the other day...... That stadium will be the death of the club as we know it. Its taken the focus off the actual game and its created a false environment for everyone at the club than they are a much bigger/successful deal than they actually are. Its reflected by the way the team plays and the club operates..... Its pathetic

In the absence of any desire to get Poch back (which I still find weird as he's objectively still the right profile, even if you eliminate the emotional pull), I'm with you on Slot now. It seems like we've got a clear run at Luis Enrique now judging by Matt Law's latest comments which I think would be another total disaster. When will we ever learn?!

Just give Poch the job ffs. He’s right there. Only this board could be so incompetent that they miss the most open of goals

Yep, it's so blindingly obvious that it's just weird at this point that he's not even being considered, particularly when 60,000 are singing his name every week. The longer this goes on and the louder the song gets, the more Levy will find it hard to ignore. There must be some other reason that he's not considering him. Maybe he's set on Madrid or there was something going on behind the scenes when he was here that we don't know about. In purely football terms, he's absolutely the right man. Right now, in terms of talent, we're about the same as we were when he picked us up in 2014, if marginally better in terms of squad ability. It's what he does best. He builds teams at this level. Give him the perfect squad, maybe he struggles. I get that he's not perfect by any means but he's right for where we are now. Reading the reports it seems Levy and the board are worried about his final six months with us whilst completely ignoring the reasons for it and the first 4.5 years he utterly bullied the rest of the league. If Poch is truly open to a return and we don't take it, then I have no faith we'll do anything right under this ownership. To go for Enrique over Poch at this point is a staggering level of incompetence.

I agree with all of this. The last six months of poch’s reign were mainly down to the fact the board did not let him do the rebuild he requested. He should never of been fired. Just think of the millions levy has wasted I. The misery that has been Jose, nuno, conte and now conte tribute act

Levy has a chance to put right what he did wrong. He is refusing to take it. Enrique is just another big name for levy’s ego that ultimately will find the same problems the other big names did and will be paid off.

Poch is literally chilling on a sun lounger. Get him in and let’s get going.

Yep, it's also worth pointing out that Levy's usual tactic of bringing in a new manager to galvanise a group is cheaper than spending money on new players. Now, though, he can't afford to ignore the stagnation in defence. It doesn't really matter who we bring in. That defence needs overhauling. Then there's an attacking midfielder, a potential replacement for Kane and Lloris - Vice Captain and Captain, both gone. There's so much surgery needed and Enrique just isn't that type of coach.

If we get the wrong man in and Kane goes in the summer, I genuinely think we could do an Everton. We might not go down but we'll be nearer the bottom than the top.

Don’t think we will ever win a trophy again under this regime. That’s how poorly they have done on the pitch. Their whole existence is making the club a entertainment portfolio. Nothing more, nothing less. They never back managers properly and it’s been proven time and time again with ex managers explaining how they asked for player A, but got player B instead. Levy all over and a massive reason why this club wins nothing. I’m done this season anyway. Couldn’t careless about Newcastle Sunday

I honestly think I'd weep for a week. Of all the clubs to go to, wow. If he had success there it would break us all I think. I don't think he will though. His difficulties at PSG will put them off because they'll be worried about his ability to coach premium players, a bit like Potter. Not that I think it's valid. They're screwed because they have an inflated, imbalanced squad, not because they've not got the right man at the helm. They'll get Nagelsmann in I think.

I'm praying they get Enrique because of all the candidates mooted for Spurs, he's the one I don't want.

If Poch went to Chelsea and win trophies there would be more than a petition against levy

posted on 19/4/23

If Poch goes to Chelsea, he would last about six months.

Crystal Palace is his level now. There is a reason Spurs or any other club have not come in for him, is that he aint that good.

Only you Poch fan boys blowing smoke out of his arris think he is.

It would be painful to see but I don't think it's likely at the moment. I'd rather we got him over Enrique.

They are an absolute jinx outfit mate. Any money that clown Bohley wins a trophy at Chelsea before Spurs.

Luis Enrique is a bit meh for me.

He only did well at Barca and that team was already a phenomenal outfit.

Did nothing at Roma who are comparable to us.

Took over Spain and failed with them too. .

Enrique would be a dumb move. So right up Levyd alley.

The irony is the only manager that has come close to success under this utterly incompetent board that you seem to defend at every instance, is Poch. You know, the guy you like to ridicule.
