We haven’t won anything so it’s fair to say using your logic that there is room for improvement from the owners. This is proven by the fact that there is always one or more teams above us at the end of every season. So there are chairmen doing a better job. Before you say we can’t compete with City/Chelsea…no but we can compete with the Lesta’s. They’ve managed to better Levy’s blueprint for on field success having no doubt spent much less. there is so much room for improvement therefore there must be much to criticise or/and observe regarding the running of THFC beyond a business venture.
Spurs can compete with those clubs, but they have only have one real point of weakness : their manager. Spurs have both manager and squad strength as points of weakness. The more points of weakness you have, the more likely your machine will fail.
Yeah I was surprised Hugo isn’t in it but then he’s generally been disrespected throughout most of his career with us. I think he’s suffered from “Modricitis” - a top class player but because they’re at Tottenham they’re not fully appreciated by the footballing community. It needed Modric to move to Madrid for the world to see how good he truly was, Hugo never made such a move.
I've never captained a ship, but I can recognise when one's sinking. I've never run a country but I can see that the current government is incompetent and corrupt. When something's at crisis point, you don't need to be an expert to see that it's crashing in flames. The club was in crisis for the entirety of 2021, until Conte was appointed. The fact is that a bunch of amateurs could clearly see it and our chairman couldn't or had not a clue what to do to sort it out. That really isn't a good thing. Not at all.
Last season we finished 7th and got to a cup final. We had more than 10 consecutive seasons that were worse than that just prior to ENIC. Under Nuno we got 6 points more than we did from the same matches last season. How is this in any way a 'crisis'? Sacking Poch and appointing Mourinho were big mistakes. But we've ended up stronger.
We have employed 4 (FOUR) full-time coaches for the season 2021/22. Three have been paid not to complete the season. Having reached a cup final, we sacked our manager 6 days before the match and gave the job to someone who had never managed a game of football before. We played in a manner to suit that preparation. This summer, we tried to re-employ the manager we sacked 18 months previously, at a cost of £20m compensation. We failed We took 10 weeks to appoint a ridiculously inappropriate coach on a 2 year deal that enabled us to sack him after 1 season for £0. He scarcely lasted 2 seasons - Summer and Autumn. Our best player made it bloody obvious to the world that he wanted to leave and subsequently, played like he already had. We were quite rightly ridiculed in the press for the last two. The best paid chairman in the PL had to admit that he'd royally ****ed things up and the famous mute had to promise a load of stuff to the fans...that he subsequently welched on (natch). 40,000 memberships were cancelled. The fans called for the Chairman's head. I think crisis is the right word...
Most of that was a direct consequence of the decision to sack Poch and appoint Mourinho. What is your source for the cancellation of 40,000 Memberships? What has Levy promised and welched on? We've ended up with a fantastic outcome with Conte being our manager. If you think this is a crisis how did you survive 1993 to 2003 when things were literally worse every year?
ENIC's been a **** show the last few years but they may have just dug themselves out of a very deep and wide ditch with Conte's appointment. To ensure they don't fall back down that ditch, they'll need to see that Conte's given the tools to prevent that from happening.
Both clear mistakes and corrected very quickly. The first one shared with every other club who had the chance.
...don't think that writing off Daniel's myriad **** up in 2021 as being as a consequence of sacking Poch to appoint Mourinho explains or excuses any of it.
He said that spurs were a family and part of the community...then attempted to cut the wages of the lowest paid staff by 20% by trying to impose the furlough scheme other. He said "we will bring you football that respects the history of Tottenham." Then employed Nuno. No one denies the state of the club before enic...but there is no denying the car crash decision they have taken from 2019 until Conte joined us.
Took nearly 2 weeks to back down on furlough ... and they only backed down and apologised after a massive came from fans...particularly members and season ticket holders. Only Newcastle and Norwich actually used the scheme and only Liverpool Bournemouth and ourselves joined in but backed out. We were the last to back out. We were also the last of the 6 premier league teams to withdraw from the ESL.
This isn't true. Chelsea were the last. City went first, us, the filth, Liverpool and Utd all went simultaneously and Chelsea went later. I suspect that it was supposed to be coordinated, but they ****ed it up, for some reason.
