We will probably be 8th come Sunday. You'd have taken that 20 years ago no doubt. I've followed Spurs over 45 years and I don't accept that. We'd have had a much greater chance of silverware if Levy had shelled out on what top managers wanted, not far cheaper options that suits Levy's tastes.
oh I didn't realise it had come back for the Newcastle game I thought it was still closed from before then
This happens. It has happened to Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Man Utd in recent years. Our overall position over the past 10 years has seen us generally in and around the top four. I would agree it feels like we are stagnating currently but teams do have bad seasons.
Not spending more, just spending it in the right places.
They are pretty happy. Because as I said, Arteta is doing good job. And that's pretty much it.
World of Hotspur is always writing some random articles. It's really obvious that Mourinho and Conte liked Dier and Davies.
In the words of Levy’s friend Simon Jordan if Levy’s defence is he is spending but then admitting he spent it badly not really the greatest defence of the man.
Arteta is doing a good job because he's been properly supported by the structure they put in place in line with their strategy. That's pretty much it.
Come on, it's hardly just about trophies. If we were still a Champions League side playing good football it'd be easy to be patient. Instead we're fighting just to make Europe, the football's been terrible for years, the prices are sky-high, we don't have a director of football after trying to run with a crook, and patience is just about out. 17 years ago now we finished 5th, playing better football, with a young squad, and tickets half the price. The anger isn't about a lack of progress, it's about the total regression.
I never said it was in defence.
It's definitely recruitment itself that is the issue and even the most ardent supporter of Daniel Levy wouldn't deny that - especially as he's admitted it himself.
I'm agreeing. Throwing more money into it, when it isn't working would be madness.
Yes, I agree with this. IMO It's also a key reason why other other fans dislike us, when you'd think we should be seen as the plucky underdog taking on the Oil money clubs - usually people love an underdog. It's the unwarranted sense of importance this kind of hyperbole gives off.
On revenue we're 5th in England and 9th in the world. So reasonable expectations might look like this:
