You should pop over to the spurs board

Some fans are convinced there's nowt wrong with certain players...it's the manager...the 4th manager in a row...of which 2 are world class proven.

They've also come to accept that Levy runs the club like a **** therefore that's how it is and we should accept the twat for all his pitfalls because once upon a time in the ****ing 90's Alan Sugar almost made us go bust.

Some Spurs fans want Poch because they are ****ing obsessed with the same old ruts and falling short like he did last time.

Imo the Spurs fans in general and the owners feed each other the loser mentality

Some Spurs fans baulk at the thought of trophies...just give us a team that knock it about a bit and we(not me) are happy.

Levy and the Levystas are a match made in heaven... both hate trophies

Our supporters trust (who are pretty useless truth be told) are demanding answers from the board about vision and ambition.

Tottenham Riots part 2 on the horizon, you love to see it.

Slimy toad CEO's are an absolute poison for any club. Thank fck we got rid of Eddie Woodward. You need to do the same with Levy. I don't know how difficult that is with him having 30% stake in the holding company. He'd have to be forced to quit.

Spurs have 2 Woodwards, Levy and paratici.
Hey Tony, look who we've bought you.
Conti why? I gave you some names and you got me him <doh>

I don't know too much about all of that tbh. But I do believe Spurs fans are trying to convince themselves he's doing a good job without really considering that a change at the top could really change their ambitions and outcomes on the pitch.

What's that saying? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. That's Levy as CEO in a nutshell.

He just needs to be kept away from footballing matters, I don’t think he’s a terrible businessman but he’s just not a football man, Paratici’s taken over a lot of that thankfully but Levy still seemingly controls/ has a strong say in the budget so it still interferes at times - and that’s what’s happening now with our chase for Porro as Sporting have told he won’t leave for anything less than his release and over two weeks into the window we’re trying to haggle in typical Levy fashion.

Make no mistake though, Conte is failing hard this season. Our squad is nowhere near as bad as he’s making us play.

It’s not happening though is it…he’s not being kept away. Everything still stinks of Levy.

He won’t stay away…I’ve been hearing this for years and how it’s supposed to be different now but it’s not.

only way he keeps his nose out is if he leaves the scene totally…somehow. It might not be happening but it’s the only way it will ever come to fruition imo.

Think our owners have done a good job with their board selections.

Liverpool for the large part have also got it right, City too.

Agree with brb and Spurly, you can't just blame managers like Mourinho and Conte for your club not winning matches, needs massive investment
 
Jose Mourinho…love him or hate him

Porto - wins trophy
Chelsea - wins trophy
Madrid - wins trophy
Chelsea - wins trophy
United - wins trophy
Spurs - sacked days before a cup final, replaced by Ryan Mason the under 6 coach…some Spurs fans act like pigs in **** with the joy that Ryan lovely man ‘one of our own’ Mason is in charge instead.
Roma - wins trophy

Spurs fans conclusion - Jose past it, he doesn’t like holding hands and making daisy chains with everyone, we don’t want silverware…get him out

Now repeating cycle

Depends how you see it. Conte wanted three positions in the summer; forward, LWB and a LCB, he got his two first choice targets at forward and LWB with Richarlison and Perisic but Bastoni rejected us so we got Lenglet for the season. Add in Bissouma who spurs and rival fans said was a great signing, plus Spence who’s a top talent and we all went into the season confident/ hopeful of a top 3 finish and a good run in the cups. Levy sanctioned a £150m spending spree to improve the squad and Paratici/ Conte done just that.

So now because Conte's failing with this improved team, people go back to blaming Levy for it. He should’ve sanctioned the funds for Porro by now but it ain’t his fault Conte’s doing a **** job. It also ain’t his fault players like Richarlison have been a massive flop after we spent £60m on him, you were raving about him in the summer too so it ain’t like you were unhappy with additions that Levy sanctioned the money on.

Failing to get a tune out of a squad that consists of the likes of Kane, Son, Kulusevski, Richarlison, Bentancur, Bissouma, Perisic, Romero etc is criminal from Conte. Howe, De Zerbi, Frank etc are getting far more out of weaker calibre sides.

Levy gets a lot of **** wrong but some blame for things even out of his control.
 
This is exactly like when i lived in Fulham pre roman.

Never saw a Chelsea shirt and knew about 4 chav fans before roman came.

Thebmn the money came and everyone and his mum round there declared themselves as life long Chelsea fans.

Its very similar to the Newcastle noobs now coming to the prem board cos they found some balls and got some mulah.

Its what happens, ive seen it before 1st hand and they dont get better they get worse lads.

Conte been here just over a year…very important to remember that

Levy hired a winner but treating him like a project manager because once again he proves to me that he’s clueless

Levy purchased a Ferrari and stuck some Ford Escort wheels on it and said ‘go on then son…do your stuff’

The same players are letting manager number 4 down

None of the new purchases are an issue…maybe 1 or 2 but that’s expected…but that’s not enough…Conte still having to turn to ****ing Eric Dire and Ben Davies…who were at their powers 5 years ago…we need to move on…Levy doesn’t have the fire to make that happen it seems…he’s too busy ****ing about as is evident in our pursuit of Porro

Of course Conte isn’t blameless on the pitch but I’m afraid we are and he is already consumed by the culture and mindsets created by ENIC at Spurs for 20+ years…just like Fergie created a culture at United…he was given that reign. He was there almost 30 but his culture was a winners culture so much so that average players would become winners…at Spurs it’s the opposite culture…it’s Levy’s culture, hence why Gold turns to **** sooner or later.

nothing is changing…you can pick the next manager, you can pick his formation but that poor **** will still have to pick between Sessegnon and Ben Davies.

You’re always championing Djed Spence to start and I understand why but what I understand more is that Conte won’t pick a player Levy purchased because that sends out a very obvious statement

‘You choose who to buy, I play them’

not in a million years

Its obvious Levy has lied again

No Spurs fan will convince me Conte is the problem on the grand scale. Cultures need to change, Conte, Spurlock and Jose know this.

How’s he been treated like a project manager though?

He got Bentancur and Kulusevski last January.
He got Perisic, Richarlison, Bissouma and Lenglet in the summer, about £200m in total worth of signings over the last 12 months who more or less go into his first XI or challenge for a place, that’s already alongside having Kane, Son, Romero, Hojbjerg and Lloris (albeit the latter is beyond his best now). The fact Spence is likely better than other options and the manager isn’t picking him out of stubbornness is just dumb and stupid.

And now because Conte’s failing to get a tune out of them all it’s back on Levy?

The culture around the club may be that of a loser’s mentality and ENIC have definitely played a part in that but Conte’s here to change it and he’s had solid backing and now got a good squad at his disposal, many players with big personalities that have won things at other clubs or international level, so why’s Conte getting a group of top players to play such laborious football and mentally folding in all the first halves?
 
Conte isn't the main problem at Spurs but he certainly isn't the solution either imo (and this from someone who predicted 3rd and a cup pre season).

If it's all about lack of signings and investment then why is he doing worse than Brighton and Fulham.

Newcastle too, they haven’t even properly flexed their financial muscle yet either and Howe’s already got them playing great stuff. Making Dan Burn look a quality defender and Almiron and Joelinton who’d been laughing stocks are now sound ballers. Conte can barely get Son and Richarlison to score a goal this season.

Richylads best season was 9 prem goals.

Darwins got that already but hes a flop apparently <laugh>
