So does Harry Winks......Cant criticise Hugo's character, he has stood by Spurs like few others ever would.

Ok Roy - good to see you in hereSomeone usually comes back and says 'but look at the saves he's made', yes well he's supposed to do that without the multiple howlers.
Not sure I agree with continued backing of this manager, but definitely back the team. Sadly not the case yesterday. I started going to Spurs almost 60 years ago and I cannot recall our fans being so quiet in a NLD at home. Heh, we've even got a stand that is designed to enhance the sound from the fans. Through thick and thin- No way!The better team won.
All eyes on Levy...back the manager and stop with this nonsense.
I have mixed feelings about Conte. I hate the negative way his teams play and just long for Spurs to be attacking and exciting again. I also dislike the continual talk about whether he will stay. Spurs is a great job and I want a manager who is fully committed to us in the long term.The better team won.

It is a question of who we replace him with. We have bought a lot of duffers in recent years and I don’t want another. We need quality.He cost us in the Newcastle game too & nearly in the Leeds games.
He’s simply a huge liability who needs replacing asap.
Question for you. When have we EVER backed the manager.I have mixed feelings about Conte. I hate the negative way his teams play and just long for Spurs to be attacking and exciting again. I also dislike the continual talk about whether he will stay. Spurs is a great job and I want a manager who is fully committed to us in the long term.
With these reservations I can see a situation where we back him with money for new players (to play in his negative system) and are then left high and dry when he moves on, as he invariably does. Not a good situation.
Why would you not back Conte? Imo he is working with overall poor inconsistent players .Not sure I agree with continued backing of this manager, but definitely back the team.

Heh, we've even got a stand that is designed to enhance the sound from the fans. Through thick and thin- No way!
But has any other club ever come in for him?Cant criticise Hugo's character, he has stood by Spurs like few others ever would.
We've been beaten at home byThe only fear felt these days at the stadium is from our own fans , there was a time NOONE wanted to play us at home..they all must be licking their lips at the thought these days..
I am not sure he fits the PL anymore!Maybe but he isn't going to be at his best with Levy in charge
Answer. The most obvious proof of this is Keith Burkinshaw after our relegation.Question for you. When have we EVER backed the manager.
Conte is no mug he knows exactly what it takes to win. Playing attacking football and not winning we've been down that road many time before . We have a winner a manger who know how to win how to build teams yet we are messing about...I feel.
I’m not saying things are as bad as the 90’s for a second but I do see a parallel here.Answer. The most obvious proof of this is Keith Burkinshaw after our relegation.
Maybe we should have backed more of the managers we sacked but I must admit most of them had either lost the plot or were dramatically failing. Which manager we sacked should we not have sacked? Even Poch was losing the plot at that time.
With Conte I just hate the football he plays. He shows no clear sign that he knows how to improve things. His blind faith in the likes of Sessegnon and Royal just baffles me.
And missLloris would probably slap himself in the face.
Keith Burkinshaw...says it all. You mentioned Pochittinho he was onto something special imo when he asked for financial backing / first choice players he was imo not fully trusted even though he managed to see us through the biggest revolution the club had seen with the stadium build and CL finalists. Sorry to keep on about Pochittinho for those reading but is telling how Levy keeps pulling tge wool over people's eyes.Answer. The most obvious proof of this is Keith Burkinshaw after our relegation.

It's not rocket science back the manager.
There's no question the road is a dead end. The next phase of the ENIC grand master plan is to acquire the grade a managers fully back them otherwise what is the point. If we're not prepared to commit and really go for it we have to cut our cloth accordingly get certain types of coaches be more prepared to sell players at there peaks make a profit and repeat become that feeder club for the like of clubs that push hard for glory.Imo Since the appointment of Damian Comoli our transfer business has very much been structured to acquire talented players (preferably younger) at reasonable valuations whilst providing flexibility to change the manager (i.e. not necessarily backing the manager's wishes 100% but listening to their input and using it to direct a sustainable transfer policy where players have good potential resale value).
Playing devil's advocate, from Levy's perspective I'm sure he sees this as giving stability to the club and ensuring minimal disruption if a manager leaves...no manager is bigger than the club and all that.
It is not that we don't spend, it's just that we have a scattergun approach to transfers and we, up to now, have lacked a cohesive strategy. Maybe it is different this time and we are doing our best to get what Conte needs but it just takes time (hence Conte's comments on multiple transfer windows).
I do feel we have run out of road with this strategy and need to commit to Conte 100% or ENIC need to sell and move on.
