Decisive ownership...

Post

Boris to be fair ref decisions played a part. Stoke scored a perfectly good goal against Man City which was disallowed. Man Utd conceded a goal from a corner that never was against Wigan. Even people 1 mile away should be able to see that. Then we were denied a clear penalty. 2 decisions that cost us 3 points in 1 game.

Similar thing happened this season in Sheffield United game, 2 wrong decisions cost us 3 points.

But good attempt at distraction from your original list

You literally didn’t address any of the other points I made, except for the list. Which you got wrong a multitude of times. Your contribution is lacking any credibility

The sub point was Spurs have got through a lot of managers just like Chelsea. If you deny that then you have the credibility issue,not me.

The main point is that Spurs have had no strategy for the main part this century and if there was one under Poch they flecked it choosing a stadium over investing in the team and have not gone back to square one and lost about3 to 5 years in the process.

So the question is who should Spurs be comparing themselves too. Is it to a team that sacks a load of managers and still wins feck all?

Off the field ENIC have been incredible in delivering the stadium and training ground, plus big sponsorship deals.

We now need someone to come in that wants success delivering trophies and investing in the squad.

I believe Lewis is more to blame for how tight we are rather than Levy though.

Based on the lists Chelsea have had over a third more managers than spurs in the weirdly specific and irrelevant time frame. So not really comparable. Also not really relevant to the point anyway, Chelsea managers have a short cycle no matter how they do. Spurs have usually taken a manager or two to find a successful candidate (Poch, Redknapp, Jol) and then given that candidate the time and opportunity (not really the money).

We have plenty of strategy - and have been a club on the up from Levy joining us. BMJ made us a team competing for European spots. Arry competing for CL places. Poch CL regulars and trophy challengers. All three succeeded in their jobs and where given some time - with Jol being the only one of the three not afforded 3 seasons (something no Chelsea manager has achieved in a row under Roman). Our club has only reached the stature it is at currently in the last few years.

The blueprint he should be trying to emulate is something similar to Dortmund's model. Big low, sell high (rivals or not, doesn't matter) with a consistent style of play which attracts specific types of players & managers. He's had that at certain points, but makes a few boneheaded decisions here & there, Mourinho being the latest, that sets you back.

Levy's never gunna be about the silver (like Roman) unless it's lining his pockets, just the way it is, so he needs to give Spurs a very potent identity outside of that.

I’ve said for a while that Dortmund should be the blueprint spurs follow.

This. We need to start developing young players again. Sell them big when the offers come and move on to the next.

In hindsight, selling Dier and Alli at their peak would have been great business.
