Sorry you are right to point that out I really should reword that and what I mean is they have no intention of properly backing the manager at
They were not backed. They wanted X and got Y

we ended up with Rodon on levy’s terms, and then just last summer Spence and Lenglet on Levy’s terms
still no excuse for the crap Conte l
Everyone is getting one in today

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, Spurs are now publishing attendances on tickets sold and not bums on seats as they used to.
The proposed boycotts of games by those who are anti Levy is not getting noticed, there were plenty of empty seats against Brentford but with the dark seats it doesn't get noticed , attendance against Brentford was given as 61,514.

Haha Emirates 2.0 as I’ve always said.

Makes sense. You only had to look at the number of seats available on the exchange to know there was no way that match was a near full house.

Levy needs to immediately step down from footballing decisions and arguably his position as a whole. What's happened over the last few seasons has been a catastrophic failure of leadership and he's the common denominator.

Ultimately if a team isn't performing, the manager goes, even if it's not their fault.

Here, our commercial side is thriving, so he's done brilliantly there. But the footballing side is absolutely shambolic for a club of our size and profile.

He should have stepped away after the Nuno debacle. Levy is a Spurs fan but somehow clearly has no idea about what this club stands for on the football side. We all have Conte a fair crack But Jose, Nuno and Conte were never, ever good fits for our club ethos and values.

Some people will say "but now's the time we need strong leadership the most". Damn right and that's why he should fuck off now. We've been here before and somehow the only person who's not accountable for their gross negligence is Levy.

We're in serious danger of falling into bottom half of the table mediocrity if the next managerial appointment doesn't work. It's really fucking serious now and Levy has continually shown he's just not capable of delivering what we need on the football side.

Sorry for the rant, I know I'm saying nothing new here but it's just so utterly depressing that the club we love is run this way.
Not for long. Trust me, sponsors won't want to be associated with a brand that has nothing but negative press for months on end.

What he's built brand wise is astonishing, you'll get no argument from me but it's not sustainable with the negativity we have been getting pretty much consistently. Admittedly with the odd positive moment like appointing Jose, Conte, and getting top 4 when it all looked lost. Everything else has been doom and gloom since Poch left PR wise. Sponsors aren't just going to keep paying top dollar just because we have a Gucci stadium when we are permanently in the headlines for the wrong reasons.

You're right. The commercial success won't last with everything else a total mess.

It's been chaotic ever since Poch left and I genuinely think this state of utter disfunction has become normalised at our club; we as fans have become inured to this permacrisis.

It has to end and it has to end now. He used up his last chance and goodwill a long time ago.

When no one has any confidence in leadership it's time for the leadership to change.

I just wish he had enough self awareness to recognise this and that it's time for a change.

With this in mind I have wondered why the club hasn’t tried or appointed a new PR guru as the whole feeling needs to change the fans are even to blame we go into everything with such a defeatist attitude.

Even in games where we are 3 up the fans bring the tension etc, the whole club needs a shake or something similar to how the Wales football team rolled out the together stronger motto and built something from the small tiny details into football over taking rugby in wales.

I know the board haven’t helped but I don’t think they are the sole problem although I do have this nervous feeling the club has been used to get this fancy events venue for investment now they have that football is the second toy.

Think that’s a very valid point. Sponsors often pull their investment when things go sour… our current trajectory is analogous to that direction

Our situation is way beyond being fixed by a PR Guru

The defeatist attitude comes from the very top of the club hierarchy, Levy

A fish rots from the head

Levy is stinking the place out

Didn’t Hugo boss end there association with us today, as are other brands.

that is more telling than anything else to me, as that hits home hugely.

naming rights - not done

as you’ve said, whole thing needs a very urgent shake up

I was fine with Levy until he sacked Mourinho to not pay his bonus and put Mason in charge.

If you had to pick any manger in the world to stop Peps city in a one off game he was your man.

All this COYS nonsense, I'm a fan, I'm desperate to see Tottenham succeed went up in dust didn't it.

How can anyone defend that?

He chose money that day 💰.

My thinking is Levy made an understandable mistake with Nuno. Missed targets, he was what's left. But Jose and Conte.....he can't be blamed for that. Conte's family situation was never going to work, he must have persuaded DL that it would be OK. No one's fault, or maybe Conte should have known he wouldn't be fully commited. So I'm still ok with him choosing and why should we pay over the odds for a promising Dutch coach?

Why can't he be blamed for people he was directly responsible for hiring?

Signed Nuno because he was all that was left ? The reason we have such a small pool of managers to choose from is Levy, we are a managerial grave yard where even serial winners fail.
Honestly I have had Levy to my eyeballs, the members of BSODL must me near extinct.
