It's ironic that the man who has most prevented Kane from winning silverware is talking about Kane being able to still win silverware.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And building a statue of him as well. I think judging on the way he spoke he will not cash in on Kane this summer and force him to stay. Just my opinion.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We already know he wants to keep Kane. I imagine this talk of building a statue and being a legend is a late desperate plea to Kane from Levy to get him to stay.
If I was Kane I'd be seeing through this crap from a man that has probably promised him so much during all these renewed contracts, and not delivered.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem we have is that all the time Kane is around, there's a pressure to 'win now', which is a direct contradiction of what the club actually needs at this time. We all want Kane to stay but not if it keeps us in this purgatory state of not knowing whether we need a project or a winner. The club needs a project and Kane needs a winner. His and the club's needs are diametrically opposed to each other. Of course, we all want to win trophies, but I don't think that's possible without first having a project. If you don't have the riches of a Chelsea or United or the perfect system of City, then there is no way to fast track success. It's taken Arteta 3 years to get to this point and he's still looking like he'll fail to win the PL (sure he won an FA Cup but that's the exception rather than the rule).
If we get in a win now man like Enrique, Kane might stay but it will be a disaster within 2 years.
If we get a project man like Slot, Kane will leave but I guarantee we'll be closer to winning something at that 2 year point.
We've got to stop putting Kane central to our decision making. He's one player. A brilliant one, admittedly, but only one player. The club always comes first.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We just need to treat Kane as if he is leaving whatever happens. Bolster the squad and improve the attack regardless.
I would hope that we are not going to go about our business dependent on what Kane wants to do anyway. He is not bigger than the club and it would actually be refreshing to not have Kane in the background when making decisions i.e. getting a manager in to please him, or suitability of strikers because of being back up to Kane.

It’s hugely disappointing that we are now more of a tourism destination and event rather than a football club - but Levy knows where the money is.
It’s going to be very difficult for me to persuade my boys to support Tottenham when we are run the way we are. Luton Town and Watford are closer in proximity and although both are fairly shiete there is no conflict within those clubs about winning and progressing. Whereas at Spurs the only goal is CL qualification and buns on seats - everything else can go swing.
If West Ham win the Euro farmers cup and finish 17th then as far as I am concerned they’re fans have had a more enjoyable season - why can’t Levy grasp that winning silverware will grow the “Brand” even more. Our “brand” currently is synonymous with bottling - something I never remember us being associated with prior to Levy and ENICs reign
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You want your sons to support Watford after they change managers every 6 months? Great.

I know that we have some very resourceful fans on this board and it would be great if someone could provide a comparison of prize money for the various competitions.
I've had a very quick look (due to limited time) and I've found the following potential winnings for each tournament:
Champions league: apparently Real Madrid got £83m euros last season.
Europa league: apparently the winner receives £7.8m
FA Cup: the winner receives £2m
Carbao Cup: The winner receives £100k
When you see those numbers, you can see why someone like Levy is not interested in the domestic cups. You can also see why successive managers have not given them priority either. I'm not saying this is right, but these are the hard cold economic facts.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And this is where the line between entertainment business and football club becomes blurred. Because winning atrophy is brilliant for a football club regardless of financial reward but winning the league cup is meaningless economically - however look at the last 10 winners of the league cup, it is a competition worth winning to the biggest clubs in the land so why should we be different? - because we are a business not a football club.
That’s my biggest gripe - if Levy told the truth and told people he is running the club like a business rather than a football club then there would be far less disappointment - there would also be far less punters turning up to watch ENIC fc
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But did Levy tell all the managers not play a strong team in the cups? I highly doubt it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bit of a coincidence though eh Luka how multiple managers under his tenure have fielded weakened sides in the latter round of cups ? What’s the common denominator?
Do you think it has anything to do with the contract structure and bonuses in particular - I.e. a fat wedge for getting 4th and faaack all for winning the League cup? I know I do.
Also, sacking Jose 6 days before a cup final so a school boy could run the team. The single biggest indicator that Levy couldn’t give a toss about “lesser” trophies

Agreed. Kane and his brother should be doing all they can to secure a move away. Problem for them, Levy will want I'm guessing £100m from another Prem team.
Only Utd and Chelsea would pay it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What about Bayern, PSG, Real Madrid? They could be tempted with their showings either in their own leagues or struggling in the CL. I can't see how Kane would say no, especially to Madrid, if he was intent on leaving.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Depends how much breaking Shearer's record means to him. Only he can answer. But surely you would sacrifice that for a possble La Liga title and Champions League medal? Due to the standard of leagues in Germany and France I think we can safely rule them out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
His record would only get broken by Haaland anyway.
I would have thought he'd be more desperate to win something, then if he wanted to, come back and break the record. He could end up winning a CL at one of those clubs, or being up for a Ballon d'Or if he was interested in individual awards.

When I said lout, i was talkiny about your angry throw the toys out of the pram attitude after we lose a game. Take it on the chin lad.
Ok about Poch. Someone in the crowd said a friend sent him a message highlighting when it started to go wrong for Poch. That message was the book Poch wrote "A brave new world" He wrote this book and after that the form started to dip.
The same effect as David O'Leary's book had at Leeds.
Meathead for life bro 💪🏼

It's very difficult to take stuff like that on the chin when I called the 2019 change in direction the wrong move from the start. I knew it was doomed to fail going for a trophy manager. We've had four years of this now with no end in sight. I wanted Conte out a long time ago and felt angry that we had to endure loss after loss and bad performance after bad performance before he was finally culled. That's why I threw my dummy out. It's hard to discover that a dawn is false long before everyone else does.
The Poch book thing holds no clout. The book's release coincided with a total lack of investment in the playing side for about 2 years. To put it down to the book and not the fact that Poch wasn't backed is just completely and utterly laughable. I wouldn't be surprised if that kid in the audience was a plant to ensure any blame apportioned lies firmly at Poch's door and not Levy's.

How about finally sell Kane and buy Vlahovic - this season has been bad but he is phenomenal and unbelievable finisher.
Buy some creative midfielders instead of workhorses and sort out the defence.
That team would be immense.

You know it's possible that we can have a shiiiiit chairman AND the wrong manager at the same time, right?
It's so easy to lay it all at Levy's door but not everything is down to him. We didn't hear a peep from the Levy Out brigade whilst Poch was in charge. You know why? Because he had us challenging for the top trophies and we were all bloody happy. So that proves in and of itself that we can do better than we currently are with the right man in charge, regardless of Levy's frailties above.
It's just a joke to say 'no point' whilst ENIC are in control. What can we do about it? Nothing. We can't force them out and it's clear now that they have no intention of selling so what now? Do we just shut up shop and give up or do we try and make the best of it by getting in a manager that CAN work under the club's restrictions.
Calling out Levy as the ultimate problem as Don and Billy do so frequently is the biggest open goal tap-in in debating history. It's just so easy. So giving Don credit for that is just absurd. It's far harder to see a managerial appointment as a disaster from the beginning and I didn't believe in Jose from day one.

We often have the wrong manager because of Levy.
He got Poch right because even a broken clock is right twice a day - law of faaaacking averages and all that.
Then what did he do when Poch said “be brave” he sacked Poch - underlining why he is such a useless chairman now that he has built the club to where it is - he is not the man to take us forwards, he hd no idea.
However, of course he won’t walk away - he has built a cash cow that will make his family wealthy for many many generations - a dynasty.

What Spurs need is a Todd Boehly, someone who will in, splash the wonga, and bankrupt the club within 12 months.
Be careful what you wish for fellas. This ain't fantasy football. Although supporters like Don think it is. I remember how excited Don was when Porro turned up, got all giddy because of one half decent appearance against Spurs for Sporting.

What Spurs need is to make it clear to managers that we would value winning a cup competition as high as finishing in the top 4. Additionally, a clear footballing philosophy and strategy that means when a manager or player goes we bring in someone with similar attributes so that we don’t waste resource on players the new manager doesn’t want

Thankfully my life is not all about Spurs or else I dread to think where it would be right now.
When I see friends happy and celebrating when their teams win trophies and titles it does feel like I have wasted a lot of time, money and emotion.
Yes it's the players that ultimately failed on the pitch but it was Levy who ultimately signed the cheque off for that player / did not replace that player with a better one, or procrastinated or peeved off another chairman with some absurd offer.
This is not rumour and is factual as not only have multiple agents, players and even other chairman have said Levy is a slippery guy.
Btw I don't think Boehly will bankrupt Chelsea. He is not that stupid. He just is not used to running a "soccer" team but at least he is showing some amibition.
It's also not as if he is buying unknown players like Nkoudu or Jack Clarke but spending PL record on players.
Billy posted this on another thread and I'll repost incase some may not have seen it.
But this just says it all about our glorious chairman and board.

Really don't know how we get rid of Levy. He's drunk with power now. This new stadium has completed his masterplan which coincides with the slow destruction of the football club.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Levy goes when a buyer comes in with the 3 or 4 billion asking price.
I am astonished our supporters cannot actually fathom that out. It's so simple.
Would you just walk away from your house if your neighbour didn't like you?
Isn't everyone right?
It's true Levy has made some awful decisions down the years but it's also true what Sandy is saying about being careful what you wish for.
It's weird how you have to be in a Levy-in or Levy-out camp. I think what the club is trying to do is the right thing - allow someone else to take charge of footballing decisions but keep Levy on the business side of things.
The fact remains that I think after 2024, FFP rules begin to really tighten up so the days of a Chelsea / Man City / PSG splurge are long gone (unless you choose to bankrupt the club long term the way Boehly has done at Chelsea). It's far better to have someone financially astute like Levy on board who, for all his faults, does generate funds for the club well.
If football rules are applied as they are suggested to be, Levy will be a leader in his field at ensuring we'e primed at ready for that era. Once FFP is fully in place, that stadium should make us one of the leading clubs in the world financially.

You know it's possible that we can have a shiiiiit chairman AND the wrong manager at the same time, right?
It's so easy to lay it all at Levy's door but not everything is down to him. We didn't hear a peep from the Levy Out brigade whilst Poch was in charge. You know why? Because he had us challenging for the top trophies and we were all bloody happy. So that proves in and of itself that we can do better than we currently are with the right man in charge, regardless of Levy's frailties above.
It's just a joke to say 'no point' whilst ENIC are in control. What can we do about it? Nothing. We can't force them out and it's clear now that they have no intention of selling so what now? Do we just shut up shop and give up or do we try and make the best of it by getting in a manager that CAN work under the club's restrictions.
Calling out Levy as the ultimate problem as Don and Billy do so frequently is the biggest open goal tap-in in debating history. It's just so easy. So giving Don credit for that is just absurd. It's far harder to see a managerial appointment as a disaster from the beginning and I didn't believe in Jose from day one.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We often have the wrong manager because of Levy.
He got Poch right because even a broken clock is right twice a day - law of faaaacking averages and all that.
Then what did he do when Poch said “be brave” he sacked Poch - underlining why he is such a useless chairman now that he has built the club to where it is - he is not the man to take us forwards, he hd no idea.
However, of course he won’t walk away - he has built a cash cow that will make his family wealthy for many many generations - a dynasty.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He sacked Poch because he hadn't won an away game in months, and had Spurs sliding down the table. Add in the record home European defeat, and getting knocked out of the league cup by a 4th tier side, then any owner/chairman of any club would have done exactly the same. Poch getting the sack for a poor set of results us hardly a unique event in football.

Really don't know how we get rid of Levy. He's drunk with power now. This new stadium has completed his masterplan which coincides with the slow destruction of the football club.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Levy goes when a buyer comes in with the 3 or 4 billion asking price.
I am astonished our supporters cannot actually fathom that out. It's so simple.
Would you just walk away from your house if your neighbour didn't like you?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For once we agree Sandy.
I don't know what the likes of Billy and Don want to realistically achieve. It seems to me they'd rather the club burned to the ground just to spite Levy with little regard for how hellish the experience is for ordinary fans.
The irony is that worse we become, the less likely a sale will be so it's in both their best interests to want to the club to do well with the right manager in place. They seem to think that once the club hits the floor, Levy will just walk away which is complete nonsense. ENIC will wait until the price is at its absolute peak before selling so saying "it doesn't matter who we get in whilst Levy is here" is completely and utterly counter-productive to their ultimate goal of getting him out of the club.
If they want Levy out, we need to be a saleable asset first. That means getting behind the right manager under ENIC first instead of repetitively whining about the ownership, post after-fecking-post.

It's very difficult to take stuff like that on the chin when I called the 2019 change in direction the wrong move from the start. I knew it was doomed to fail going for a trophy manager. We've had four years of this now with no end in sight. I wanted Conte out a long time ago and felt angry that we had to endure loss after loss and bad performance after bad performance before he was finally culled. That's why I threw my dummy out. It's hard to discover that a dawn is false long before everyone else does.

The irony is that the very worst point under Poch was unquestionably still better than any of the 'peak' times over the last four years. That's in the data and it's undeniable. Whichever way you slice it, in that tail-off final year we finished 4th and got to a CL final.

It's ironic that the man who has most prevented Kane from winning silverware is talking about Kane being able to still win silverware.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And building a statue of him as well. I think judging on the way he spoke he will not cash in on Kane this summer and force him to stay. Just my opinion.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We already know he wants to keep Kane. I imagine this talk of building a statue and being a legend is a late desperate plea to Kane from Levy to get him to stay.
If I was Kane I'd be seeing through this crap from a man that has probably promised him so much during all these renewed contracts, and not delivered.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem we have is that all the time Kane is around, there's a pressure to 'win now', which is a direct contradiction of what the club actually needs at this time. We all want Kane to stay but not if it keeps us in this purgatory state of not knowing whether we need a project or a winner. The club needs a project and Kane needs a winner. His and the club's needs are diametrically opposed to each other. Of course, we all want to win trophies, but I don't think that's possible without first having a project. If you don't have the riches of a Chelsea or United or the perfect system of City, then there is no way to fast track success. It's taken Arteta 3 years to get to this point and he's still looking like he'll fail to win the PL (sure he won an FA Cup but that's the exception rather than the rule).
If we get in a win now man like Enrique, Kane might stay but it will be a disaster within 2 years.
If we get a project man like Slot, Kane will leave but I guarantee we'll be closer to winning something at that 2 year point.
We've got to stop putting Kane central to our decision making. He's one player. A brilliant one, admittedly, but only one player. The club always comes first.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We just need to treat Kane as if he is leaving whatever happens. Bolster the squad and improve the attack regardless.
I would hope that we are not going to go about our business dependent on what Kane wants to do anyway. He is not bigger than the club and it would actually be refreshing to not have Kane in the background when making decisions i.e. getting a manager in to please him, or suitability of strikers because of being back up to Kane.

It’s hugely disappointing that we are now more of a tourism destination and event rather than a football club - but Levy knows where the money is.
It’s going to be very difficult for me to persuade my boys to support Tottenham when we are run the way we are. Luton Town and Watford are closer in proximity and although both are fairly shiete there is no conflict within those clubs about winning and progressing. Whereas at Spurs the only goal is CL qualification and buns on seats - everything else can go swing.
If West Ham win the Euro farmers cup and finish 17th then as far as I am concerned they’re fans have had a more enjoyable season - why can’t Levy grasp that winning silverware will grow the “Brand” even more. Our “brand” currently is synonymous with bottling - something I never remember us being associated with prior to Levy and ENICs reign
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You want your sons to support Watford after they change managers every 6 months? Great.

I know that we have some very resourceful fans on this board and it would be great if someone could provide a comparison of prize money for the various competitions.
I've had a very quick look (due to limited time) and I've found the following potential winnings for each tournament:
Champions league: apparently Real Madrid got £83m euros last season.
Europa league: apparently the winner receives £7.8m
FA Cup: the winner receives £2m
Carbao Cup: The winner receives £100k
When you see those numbers, you can see why someone like Levy is not interested in the domestic cups. You can also see why successive managers have not given them priority either. I'm not saying this is right, but these are the hard cold economic facts.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And this is where the line between entertainment business and football club becomes blurred. Because winning atrophy is brilliant for a football club regardless of financial reward but winning the league cup is meaningless economically - however look at the last 10 winners of the league cup, it is a competition worth winning to the biggest clubs in the land so why should we be different? - because we are a business not a football club.
That’s my biggest gripe - if Levy told the truth and told people he is running the club like a business rather than a football club then there would be far less disappointment - there would also be far less punters turning up to watch ENIC fc
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But did Levy tell all the managers not play a strong team in the cups? I highly doubt it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bit of a coincidence though eh Luka how multiple managers under his tenure have fielded weakened sides in the latter round of cups ? What’s the common denominator?
Do you think it has anything to do with the contract structure and bonuses in particular - I.e. a fat wedge for getting 4th and faaack all for winning the League cup? I know I do.
Also, sacking Jose 6 days before a cup final so a school boy could run the team. The single biggest indicator that Levy couldn’t give a toss about “lesser” trophies

Agreed. Kane and his brother should be doing all they can to secure a move away. Problem for them, Levy will want I'm guessing £100m from another Prem team.
Only Utd and Chelsea would pay it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What about Bayern, PSG, Real Madrid? They could be tempted with their showings either in their own leagues or struggling in the CL. I can't see how Kane would say no, especially to Madrid, if he was intent on leaving.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Depends how much breaking Shearer's record means to him. Only he can answer. But surely you would sacrifice that for a possble La Liga title and Champions League medal? Due to the standard of leagues in Germany and France I think we can safely rule them out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
His record would only get broken by Haaland anyway.
I would have thought he'd be more desperate to win something, then if he wanted to, come back and break the record. He could end up winning a CL at one of those clubs, or being up for a Ballon d'Or if he was interested in individual awards.

How about finally sell Kane and buy Vlahovic - this season has been bad but he is phenomenal and unbelievable finisher.
Buy some creative midfielders instead of workhorses and sort out the defence.
That team would be immense.

I wouldn't be surprised if that kid in the audience was a plant to ensure any blame apportioned lies firmly at Poch's door and not Levy's.

You weren’t ahead of the curve, Don was and has been for 20 years, those managers weren’t the problem - Levy/ENIC is - we are not run to win competitions
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Precisely mate.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You know it's possible that we can have a shiiiiit chairman AND the wrong manager at the same time, right?
It's so easy to lay it all at Levy's door but not everything is down to him. We didn't hear a peep from the Levy Out brigade whilst Poch was in charge. You know why? Because he had us challenging for the top trophies and we were all bloody happy. So that proves in and of itself that we can do better than we currently are with the right man in charge, regardless of Levy's frailties above.
It's just a joke to say 'no point' whilst ENIC are in control. What can we do about it? Nothing. We can't force them out and it's clear now that they have no intention of selling so what now? Do we just shut up shop and give up or do we try and make the best of it by getting in a manager that CAN work under the club's restrictions.
Calling out Levy as the ultimate problem as Don and Billy do so frequently is the biggest open goal tap-in in debating history. It's just so easy. So giving Don credit for that is just absurd. It's far harder to see a managerial appointment as a disaster from the beginning and I didn't believe in Jose from day one.

Ok about Poch. Someone in the crowd said a friend sent him a message highlighting when it started to go wrong for Poch. That message was the book Poch wrote "A brave new world" He wrote this book and after that the form started to dip.

It's very difficult to take stuff like that on the chin when I called the 2019 change in direction the wrong move from the start. I knew it was doomed to fail going for a trophy manager. We've had four years of this now with no end in sight. I wanted Conte out a long time ago and felt angry that we had to endure loss after loss and bad performance after bad performance before he was finally culled. That's why I threw my dummy out. It's hard to discover that a dawn is false long before everyone else does.

We often have the wrong manager because of Levy.
He got Poch right because even a broken clock is right twice a day - law of faaaacking averages and all that.
Then what did he do when Poch said “be brave” he sacked Poch - underlining why he is such a useless chairman now that he has built the club to where it is - he is not the man to take us forwards, he hd no idea.
However, of course he won’t walk away - he has built a cash cow that will make his family wealthy for many many generations - a dynasty.

What Spurs need is a Todd Boehly, someone who will in, splash the wonga, and bankrupt the club within 12 months.
Be careful what you wish for fellas. This ain't fantasy football. Although supporters like Don think it is. I remember how excited Don was when Porro turned up, got all giddy because of one half decent appearance against Spurs for Sporting.

What Spurs need is to make it clear to managers that we would value winning a cup competition as high as finishing in the top 4. Additionally, a clear footballing philosophy and strategy that means when a manager or player goes we bring in someone with similar attributes so that we don’t waste resource on players the new manager doesn’t want

Thankfully my life is not all about Spurs or else I dread to think where it would be right now.
When I see friends happy and celebrating when their teams win trophies and titles it does feel like I have wasted a lot of time, money and emotion.
Yes it's the players that ultimately failed on the pitch but it was Levy who ultimately signed the cheque off for that player / did not replace that player with a better one, or procrastinated or peeved off another chairman with some absurd offer.
This is not rumour and is factual as not only have multiple agents, players and even other chairman have said Levy is a slippery guy.
Btw I don't think Boehly will bankrupt Chelsea. He is not that stupid. He just is not used to running a "soccer" team but at least he is showing some amibition.
It's also not as if he is buying unknown players like Nkoudu or Jack Clarke but spending PL record on players.

Really don't know how we get rid of Levy. He's drunk with power now. This new stadium has completed his masterplan which coincides with the slow destruction of the football club.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Levy goes when a buyer comes in with the 3 or 4 billion asking price.
I am astonished our supporters cannot actually fathom that out. It's so simple.
Would you just walk away from your house if your neighbour didn't like you?

Isn't everyone right?
It's true Levy has made some awful decisions down the years but it's also true what Sandy is saying about being careful what you wish for.
It's weird how you have to be in a Levy-in or Levy-out camp. I think what the club is trying to do is the right thing - allow someone else to take charge of footballing decisions but keep Levy on the business side of things.
The fact remains that I think after 2024, FFP rules begin to really tighten up so the days of a Chelsea / Man City / PSG splurge are long gone (unless you choose to bankrupt the club long term the way Boehly has done at Chelsea). It's far better to have someone financially astute like Levy on board who, for all his faults, does generate funds for the club well.
If football rules are applied as they are suggested to be, Levy will be a leader in his field at ensuring we'e primed at ready for that era. Once FFP is fully in place, that stadium should make us one of the leading clubs in the world financially.

For once we agree Sandy.
I don't know what the likes of Billy and Don want to realistically achieve. It seems to me they'd rather the club burned to the ground just to spite Levy with little regard for how hellish the experience is for ordinary fans.
The irony is that worse we become, the less likely a sale will be so it's in both their best interests to want to the club to do well with the right manager in place. They seem to think that once the club hits the floor, Levy will just walk away which is complete nonsense. ENIC will wait until the price is at its absolute peak before selling so saying "it doesn't matter who we get in whilst Levy is here" is completely and utterly counter-productive to their ultimate goal of getting him out of the club.
If they want Levy out, we need to be a saleable asset first. That means getting behind the right manager under ENIC first instead of repetitively whining about the ownership, post after-fecking-post.

The irony is that the very worst point under Poch was unquestionably still better than any of the 'peak' times over the last four years. That's in the data and it's undeniable. Whichever way you slice it, in that tail-off final year we finished 4th and got to a CL final.
