Seen a few tweets about Nagelsmann gathering pace. Not sure how legit any of it is, and it seems to have come from Romano’s tweet about Nagelsmann withdrawing from Chelsea.

How reliable is Christian Falk?

This stuff is all great and should be rightly applauded but surely in the end they are just doing the same things as the likes of City and Chelsea but at a lower level (for now). Paul Mullen earns 4 x the average national league salary with an eye watering goal bonus that often doubles his reported weekly £4000 wage, and that is more than 90% of players in leagues 1 & 2 (without the goal bonus), and they have plenty of others reportedly earning £3000+.

I fully expect that they will win League 2 next season and be in the championship within 3 years.

Agreed, but it is still looking at developing from the ground up. Yes, the investment is eye-watering in comparison to the funds available to other non League and frankly all clubs up to Championship level, but there is at least a veneer of decency.
The 'owners' funding model may become less transparent with time but for now the club is being taken forward positively by two apparently genuine benefactors and there are definite plusses for the club and community. Not least by the £25m Welsh Gov grant fir ground development - although that's not universally applauded at a cost to other public services.
We'll see how things transition over the next couple of years!

It's similar to Mo Fayed buying Fulham up from Division Three to the Premier League, with the likes of Chris Coleman happy to drop down a couple of divisions for the salary being offered that no other club could match

And by complete coincidence, the press were also very supportive of this endeavour...

Wasn't it Keegan and Ray Wilkins initially?

3. Managers ...

Executive summary :

A1 - bring in an attack-minded manager, ideally with
some notion of how to deal with the defence + not
dogmatically wedded to particular formations.

With the Ryan Mason situation in mind, I will add the following :

A2 - managerial apprenticeship.

The club should have people on the books who one
day may come out of the pipeline to be a Spurs manager,
but are currently far from ready, The current manager
will be willing to have such people involved in their
managerial/coaching regime.
 
If Pochettino gets the Chelsea job we will know who our next manager but one will be.:emoticon-0116-evilg

A couple of seasons back there were people on this very board saying that a certain club had found the winning formula. A formula we should be copying because we were doing poorly relative to them. Indeed, people had every expectation that the other club would become more successful than us. Clearly circumstances are not exactly the same, but the club being lauded at the time was Leicester.

Similarly lauded for an owner with ambition was Everton. If only ENIC would buy James after his world cup exploits.

Everton did show ambition, to be fair. Brought in an excellent manager and some good players.
Said excellent manager then left for an appropriate club and their owner had to **** off.

Leicester were similarly screwed by overspending and their owners losing their revenue.
Hard to finance things as a duty-free company when all flights are cancelled.
Having a wage bill higher than your revenue probably isn't clever, either.

Levy exposed on Talksport, from somebody who has witnessed his incompetence first hand.

This is what most rational thinking Spurs fans have known all along, Levy meddles in transfers and will happily block them if he can`t get the deal he wants.

Also, the fact he has an opinion on which players to bring in is quite alarming, he has extremely limited football knowledge and will always look at a player from a financial point of view.

Ah, David Webb has been spouting off has he. There’s a reason he never stays in a job very long.

He has probably done similar analysis to mine and noticed that there is no evidence that anyone has an edge in transfers so challenges people who think they do very hard. There are numerous occasions when he has trusted the football staff and as a consequence we spent about £250m on Sanchez, Richarlison, Sessegnon, Lo Celso and Ndombele.
But of course you shouldn't buy players you think are overpriced so you have to have a view on what the player you want should cost.
