[Geez]

Interesting article

You probably won't agree with all of it but some of it hits the target IMO

"A club willing to buy its way past every obstacle". Is this the club with a negative net spend? That's in the realm of fantasy.

Clear the players who don't belong to fund the purchase of 2-3 identified, good quality targets. It's what every 13 year-old immediately does in any Spurs career mode on FIFA. Shouldn't be that hard for Levy, Baldini, Mitchell, and Pochettino.

Blindly stumbling from one latest quick fix to the next. It's a clusterfuck of a Club a sort of gift that just keeps on giving.

An odd moment of realisation, but are we worse than Newcastle!?

What currently? I'd say we are, at least they've got a decent stadium and players who appear to have the desire to turn things around on the pitch...

I have a sneaking suspicion that the guy that wrote the article doesn't like Spurs or Daniel Levy.

Yeah that's not quite right. It's more spoilt child syndrome - impatient and wanting it all now, rather than building it. Let's buy 7 new players in one go and rip it all up rather than building over several seasons etc. Levy's Achilles heel is his managerial appointments - he needs to get a new interview technique.

We were building fairly well under Enic until the last couple of years. Our squad was improving overall, bit by bit. The whole Redknapp and AVB shambles brought it all to a grinding halt though. We missed opportunities to improve the squad after selling Modric, VDV and Bale, and it would now seem that we've also brought in another lame duck manager as well. Unless he starts to get these pampered arseholes playing with some passion and direction, he'll be gone by the end of the season. God I'm so fucking bored of this train wreck of a club now...

Spurs are also a "selling club"- they have routinely sold their best players, and hoped that the replacements brought in would dovetail into the newly vacated positions. It's always been a gamble, and this time it is not paying off. Very frustrating for the fans that support this proud, old club!
