Jose Mourinho

[the yid]

I'd LOVE to see him walk just so we lynch Levy

Boycott the team if Mourinho doesn't get backed.

Don't buy tickets, don't buy kits, unsubscribe to ur tv cable. Don't give any form of money to this rat called Daniel Levy.

 

[sausage]

the lack of ambition/investment in our team from Daniel levy/Enic and don't want to pay the high ticket prices to watch what is being produced on the pitch.

We spent £100m+ in the summer, minus any potential fee for GLC.

I am convinced that there is absolutely no such thing as "enough" for the fantasy land supporters on here.

You can't change 6 or 7 first team players in the same season and have a happy ending. I don't think there's even one single example of where that has ever worked.

This is the kind of shit I can't abide. Rat?! Yeah, utter bastard, putting everything in place for the club to join the elite, whether under him or someone else.

If we get to the end of the next summer window and we're still behaving as though we're playing in a 36k stadium and our sole aspiration is to finish in the top 6, then I will be as annoyed as the next man.

But I will never forget what Daniel Levy has done for this club.

Where? You're tilting hard at windmills.

At least you've packed in going to the games, that'll show them, unless you have a season ticket and they're laughing all the way to the bank ...

Do you think the Levy/Enic aren't to blame for the current mess we are in on the pitch? Which if you don't fair enough everyones entitled to there opinion.

Yes Im fully aware I'm the one who loses out at the end of day if someone doesn't buy my ticket not them.. But find it sad state of affairs it has come to this!

More to the point though as a season ticket holder I've had no problem at all selling tickets on the exchange for games I can't make since we moved into the new stadium they have always been pretty much snapped up straight away. Im just wondering though if the Norwich game and the amount of tickets available for it is sign that things are turning. Yes the club won't lose out on money as the seats on the exchange have all been paid for by season ticket holders but its still not a good look if we start playing in a three quarters empty stadium.

Sign of things turning or, as in my case, lots of people just unable to make it due to the timing? I'm gutted it's midweek as I live in Norwich and loads of my mates who have ST's with them would have gone. I would've taken great pride in showing them around but none of us can bloody go as it's just too much of a commitment on a work night (last trains get back at 0030 and 0130).

Yeah I find it sad that you'd rather sell your ticket, travelling times aside.

Personally I can see a point of view when it comes to Levy, I still don't deny my own frustration with his perceived tightness and wrangling when it comes to transfers, but some of our problems aren't all of his creating.

The pinch of salt on here has gone out the window though. I am currently finding a lot of threads both tough to read and in some cases divisive among our own fans. Division is not the way to go when we all support Tottenham Hotspur Football Club not Chairman/Manager/Football player FC.

Oh come on! Yes they finally spent the money in the summer on three (four if you include Clark) players but given the negligence of the 18 months prior to that where no money was spent it was bit late and has left us in the mess we are in with a squad that is in desperate need of a refresh and a upgrade.

If we had started to make the changes to the squad in those two/three transfer windows it wouldn't have been the case of changing 6/7 first team players in one window!

That's down to the previous manager - it's irrelevant by now.

Signing the wrong players now is absolutely not going to help - we'll then end up with even more wrong faces to shift.

 

[jay2040]

Genuine question, how can any Spurs fan be satisfied right now

I dont think we are satisfied until we win a trophy and the previous management did not satiate that need either

No but for the most part we were a happy fanbase.

Don't get me wrong with Levy infrastructure wise no one can ever knock what he done for the club and where he has taken us.. But as you say its the transfer side of things that frustrate me so much. We have everything in place to be a top club but suddenly we seem to taken a massive step backwards. I do agree to point that Levy isn't fully to blame on the transfer side of things and Potch probably didn't help the situation much when you hear he didn't want players such a tilermans (apologies for the spelling) who would have improved the squad.

Fully agree end of day it is Tottenham Hotspur we support the club will be here long after current chairman/players/manager have left.

It obviously wouldn't be fair to the team or Jose, but oddly I do actually support the sentiment behind this. An empty stadium and no additional match day takings might actually embarrass DL into action.

Im not sure you can fully blame potch for that and not apportion any blame on the owners. Yes I've just said Potch does have to take some of the blame for sure.

Unfortunately we are in a situation where we do need to sign a striker of some description and probably a dm in this window otherwise it looks like we are going to really struggle to the end of the season

 

[tototoner]

I go to as many games as I can, I'd just like to enjoy watching us play again which I haven't done at any time this season and that hasn't changed since the change in management

Pochettino has always said he had the last say on transfers, and it seems like he was turning down players. That suggests to me that we were willing to buy/bring in players, he just didn't want them. I would stop short of blaming the club (rather than the manager) if it was due to unrealistic suggestions (i.e. only wanting Messi or no one kind of thing). It seems that, based on what Poch (and ITK) said during those 18 months, that he just didn't want anyone we could get and was happy with what he had to work with.

The line that is strung along on here is "not backing the manager", but if he didn't want what we could get then we did back him - so I don't think we could, in that circumstance, blame the club for doing just that.

I always base my opinions/beliefs on what has come from the horses mouth, and pretty much every manager under Levy, prior to Poch has suggested Levy is quite willing and happy to bring players in. It just seems like some groups (on here mostly) have a pathological dislike for DL because he's not some sort of 2005 vintage Abramovich running us into the ground.

why would Poch accept a bunch of players he doesn’t want, we all saw what happened with Nije and the like. Not sure how you can blame Poch for under investment in the squad. He had his players and they didn’t come in, we do the same to Mourinho and this is going south and fast.

No manager in this world gets all their first choice on the list players, some of you are such idealists ...If he hadn't turned down numerous players perhaps we wouldn't have such a void with youth not coming through.

Don't deny that he shouldn't get some of the first choice players he wants, never disagreed with that sentiment but to suggest he shouldn't have taken any players offered ... Madison looks like a colossal fuck up as does Tielmans ... People need to stop painting Poch in a light that isn't befitting.

I have no reservations that Levy has his fingerprints over some absolute duffers when it comes to transfers but Poch created a hole for himself as well.

 

[JCRD]

If it was easy we would've done it. Hindsight is a beautiful thing and Poch publically stated that he was happy with the squad at his disposal.
With the arrival of Mourinho and the sudden injuries to many of our key players we've likely had to devise a whole new plan.

We're in a tricky situation.

It isnt easy but come on its not like our squad was Liverpools where we had a super high quality squad. We had glaring gaps. I know Poch said that but he wasnt going to come out and say its shit.

We are in a tricky position. Maybe it is best not aiming for CL next season, regroupa nd build a squad in the summer then go for it with no outside issues with CL etc...

Depressing to think about.

And so (as was my point), if he doesn't want anyone we can get during that period who is clearly good enough... (e.g. Tielemens, Maddison)
