Yeah I think his time is up with us unfortunately...players to be realistically shipped out at the end of the season,:
Dele Alli
Sissoko
Lucas or Lamela (get some kind of return)
Winks
Hugo Lloris
Doherty (what a waste)
Will be easier said than done to ship some of them out.

So property stuff then. I support a football team!!
OK, I'm sure players such as Kane, Son, Ndombele, Alderveireld, Van der Vaart, Alli, Berbatov, Modric would have been tempted without those measures. Right...

We ovbiously find ourselves in a painful situation.

* Our Economic situation is among the worst in the league and therefore I don’t even think Levy can afford to sack Mourinho.

* A Mourinho under pressure is a “loose canon” and that will damage the team morale even more.

* Our best players knows that they could get higher wages in Manchester, Madrid or/and Paris. They could even win thropies.

So number 3 sorts out problem 1 & 2. Oh joy.

I haven’t read the previous 138 pages which I am sure are largely full of negative posts. For me however we were unlucky to end up losing to two silly goals. We had more skill than them and had many times the shots on target they had. Where they were perhaps better than us was their commitment and sticking to their match plan.
We were unlucky to lose. However, ultimately they beat us because of our abysmal defence. Very worrying. Not easy to recruit three new defenders and a goalkeeper to fix the problem.

Yeah and the stadium is creeking under the weight of our trophy cabinet isn't it?
Oh right. Between the bankrupcy threat of 1993 and Enic taking over we won what? And the fact that you expect us to be challenging for top 4 is down to Enic. Whether you like to admit it or not

So we get to sit in a shiny stadium and carry on like nothing else has happened.

I’m lowering my expectations for this season now. I’m just going for two trophies and no top 4 but I expect the quadruple next season.

You talk about it as if the stadium was a given. It by no means was. Seriously you take all the perks in stride, as if we were owed them. We were worth 120 million when Enic took over and were basically meaningless - struggling for survival each year. Now we are struggling to reach top 4. You don't see the difference? We managed to get 2nd and 3rd in the league, several cup finals including the CL. In pre Enic qualifying for the Intertoto was considered a success. Beggers belief.

One League Cup since ENIC took over.

well somethings gotta change - I pay for all. these subscriptions and rarely watch a full game anymore. I started skimming after we conceded the second today. I may have to start doing some work on the weekends.

West ham are challenging for the top 4 for fucks sake. Its obviously not too hard this season!! Even one of the most successful managers in world football cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Which is exactly what Levy is expecting!!
