Spurs are now the 8th richest football club in the world, after 30 years of mainly mediocrity, with a few seasons of over achievement here and there, surely now we are entitled to expect a level of investment in the squad commensurate with our new commercial levels.
We have become nothing but a business, and a cash cow for those that own us. As long as our owners see a healthy balance sheet, they don`t give two shietes about silverware.
Enough is enough, thanks for the improvements of infrastructure, it`s only taken them 20 years.
Unless they are now willing to do what is required to put trophies in the cabinet, they should just sell up to somebody who will.
2 paltry League Cups in almost 30 years, how Spursy

Sandy when Poch goes on to take another club, probably in all likelihood Utd, on to win all the trophies we as fans want - it will be too late to think of what could’ve been.
Not saying it is true, but if it is, this fella browns comments on what Poch expects at his next club. Goes to show how we as a club and particularly Levy as a chairman failed to give him the backing when it really mattered. The summer we didn’t spend and the downturn in form as a result of not refreshing the squad started. And ultimately ended with Poch going.

Poch won`t win any trophies. He had the best team he will ever had at his disposal three or four seasons back, and he failed to get them over the line. It will only get worse for him from hereonin.

Poch going to United and becoming a big success by winning trophies would absolutely shatter Levy's reputation as a good chairman. He'll always be known as the man who let go of a manager who went on to better things.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Poch going to United, and being a failure, will fully backup why he had to leave Spurs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not so sure about that. United will have had LVG, Mourinho, and Poch go there and all be varying failures. The blame will probably fall more at the hands of the personnel and recruitment.
The fact is we were in a good place with Poch and didn't back him. Whatever he does at United won't change that.
No acknowledgement of Pochs demands at his next club Sandy? It would clearly back up his comments whilst at Spurs that his job title should be changed from manager to coach.

Another one of those weird opinions I guess.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't mind Sandy really. The place would not be the same without him, and for all his oddball opinions, he is a committed fan.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I give opinions. They are not oddball, they are my opinions, and are usually proved right. There are plenty on here that I think give oddball opinions, but I am not one of them.
I am still awaiting an apology from most on here, when I called that Pochettino had to go months ago, and was told that was an oddball comment. And hey presto he went. I am usually right.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's not being proved right at all. Many think we have hardly improved since Mourinho came in, and are still currently 9 points off top 4.
Whether Poch had to go or not very much remains up for debate.

I also called Trippier had to go. He went.

To be honest mate, I don't really care what happens to Pochettino now, he is no longer anything to do with Spurs.
The fact pool are blitzing the league and most people say it's down to lots of clubs being in transition but forget spurs fell away in the same situation.
Spurs should be ahead of pool in development if they had invested profits wisely. I think most spurs fans know pitch will get a new job and to actually spend money. Only then we will see if he was the problem.
Still can't believe levy sat on so much money and watched the squad age, when spurs were so close to being a real force. A marquee signing or two and spurs could've won the league 100%.
The difference between pools board/ faith in their boss and spurs is something I just don't understand tbh.

Am I, why would I be bothered about somebody who is not involved with Spurs.
It could help explain the failings of how we as a club operate in terms of recruitment and who has autonomy of the squad. Because we have always been lead to believe the manager has the final say.
Here is the deal. I have been hugely pro levy as I always took a step back and looked at what the man was trying to build..... move the club from the dark ages of the 90s and organically drag us into the modern era and the progress we have made under his stewardship, organically , is huge, and he has been an outstanding chairman. HOWEVER, there have been obvious mistakes made in the transfer market and he seems to be slow to learn from them. I back levy up to this season but now that the stadium his done he needs to do what’s required in the market to move us to the next level (trophies) and complete the job !!!

Let’s see the state of the playing staff at the end of this window and the summer window and then we can actually see if levy is backing his man or not.
We weren't heading for a relegation scrap we'd be not far off where we are now ffs. Crazy how you can defend him so much to now. Poch was the greatest manager weve seen even before Levy at spurs. I have admitted and acknowledged levy's good work off the field for the club however be has been rubbish for the last few years now.
Players got poch sacked and poch knew exactly what we needed to be done to the squad and it was never addressed. Poch came out saying he doesnt have final say on transfers, and that has become quite evident. You know full well what I'm on about, just stop thinking from a business perspective because we watch what goes on on the pitch and the game is so money driven now, where spurs are apparently the richest club in london yet wont dive into the market adequately.
Hopefully you can be saying I told you so in a couple of years or less but almost 30 years now since an fa cup win with only 2 league cups in between is simply not good enough and theres been a common denominator over the year...

If this doesn't work out Levy has failed the fans and we can only hope he sells the club.
We could have done with more investment at the right time and constantly haven't. Even before the stadium took off in development and so forth.
Building it however and still not backing the manager would be embarrassing. Fans deserve better than just a fancier ridiculously expensive seat watching the same drivel.

Why haven't we won more with him at the helm in these 20 years? You can't give him credit for building us into this top 4 club but then no blame for lack of trophies.

Surely a club that can achieve top 4, by its very definition, has quality. Any team that can do that has the quality to win a domestic cup. The blame for not doing so cannot solely be placed at Levys feet, unless you want to blame him for appointing managers incapable of winning stuff like Poch.

also doesnt back managers like poch to then go on and win stuff. Maybe it should be about who he appoints manager. Hes just hired Jose a big risk that if he doesnt win the long awaited silverware will be an ultimate fack up. Top 4 is gone this season and will be a struggle next season. You're blaming the manager for having players good enough to get us top 4 but not winning them a trophy? That is the players fault, weak as p1ssss and cants. Also what manager was the one who has got us 4 top 4 finishes in a row again? Backed levy all through the poch era, because of how good that appointment of manager turned out to be, until the summer we didnt sign anyone and refresh the squad(utterly unacceptable in modern football) also coincided with the stadium delays and lack of communication to us fans - then showed completely lack of loyalty and trust in the best manager since hes been chairman.

The blame isn't just on Levy but when we knew that the squad needed extra strengthening at a time when we were close to the big trophies, and then do things like not sign anybody for over a year and even weaken ourselves by selling Dembele and not replacing, then you know where to mainly look.
I am someone who has been complaining about Levy's approach since before the last 10 years and even the summer we did nothing wasn't that much of a surprise to me. I mean if there was going to be any club to break the record for signing absolutely nobody I would have handpicked Levy and Spurs out of every club. He is such a notorious tight arsse when it comes to showing ambition in the market considering the stature of the club.
The real pro-Mourinho Spurs fans can surely look nowhere else for failure if even with Mourinho we don't win any trophies. It will be no clearer that Levy is the man responsible for holding us back from silverware all these years.

But top four was always prioritised over a domestic cup... Levy would clearly prefer CL entrance over a league cup. The only time Pochettino got sacked was when CL looked difficult. Not because of lack of silverware. But where Levy gets blame is if we have invested proper and not stagnated then maybe we could have got top four and a domestic trophy. Or even the Premier League ala Liverpool.
Anyway, the reason guys like Sandy are oblivious is because they have no long term thinking or consider consequences.
It's all about the now. If Mourinho fails and gets sacked Sandy will forget about what he has previously written. Contradict those very comments and have a new position to back without thinking.
Anyone who sees Pochettino as a failure because he never won Spurs a trophy isnt worth talking to. Just stupidity at its finest.

I have admitted and acknowledged levy's good work off the field for the club however be has been rubbish for the last few years now.
Players got poch sacked and poch knew exactly what we needed to be done to the squad and it was never addressed. Poch came out saying he doesnt have final say on transfers, and that has become quite evident. You know full well what I'm on about, just stop thinking from a business perspective because we watch what goes on on the pitch and the game is so money driven now, where spurs are apparently the richest club in london yet wont dive into the market adequately.
Hopefully you can be saying I told you so in a couple of years or less but almost 30 years now since an fa cup win with only 2 league cups in between is simply not good enough and theres been a common denominator over the year...

Are you for real saying Poch was the greatest manager we have seen.

levy needs to fack right off, no defending him now, he was just about hanging on then he sacked poch and still refuses to act like the big club we apparently are. disgrace.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Honestly when I read nonsense like that I really do despair of our fanbase. Stop behaving like a spoilt child that wants everything at the drop of a hat.
Daniel Levy is not perfect, but he has been a fantastic chairman. He has given us this fantastic stadium that is the envy of the world, and you want him gone.
I really do give up. Fortunately most of the supporters I meet at WHL are fully behind Spurs, the manager and the Chairman.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why haven't we won more with him at the helm in these 20 years? You can't give him credit for building us into this top 4 club but then no blame for lack of trophies.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Surely a club that can achieve top 4, by its very definition, has quality. Any team that can do that has the quality to win a domestic cup. The blame for not doing so cannot solely be placed at Levys feet, unless you want to blame him for appointing managers incapable of winning stuff like Poch.
so many on here smack of moany modern armchair fans. Pathetic. Suggest you go watch your local non league team and re engage with why you love football

Er no. Read it properly. Greatest manager even before levy. So greatest since levy has been chairman and even years before that.

also doesnt back managers like poch to then go on and win stuff. Maybe it should be about who he appoints manager. Hes just hired Jose a big risk that if he doesnt win the long awaited silverware will be an ultimate fack up. Top 4 is gone this season and will be a struggle next season. You're blaming the manager for having players good enough to get us top 4 but not winning them a trophy? That is the players fault, weak as p1ssss and cants. Also what manager was the one who has got us 4 top 4 finishes in a row again? Backed levy all through the poch era, because of how good that appointment of manager turned out to be, until the summer we didnt sign anyone and refresh the squad(utterly unacceptable in modern football) also coincided with the stadium delays and lack of communication to us fans - then showed completely lack of loyalty and trust in the best manager since hes been chairman.

The blame isn't just on Levy but when we knew that the squad needed extra strengthening at a time when we were close to the big trophies, and then do things like not sign anybody for over a year and even weaken ourselves by selling Dembele and not replacing, then you know where to mainly look.
I am someone who has been complaining about Levy's approach since before the last 10 years and even the summer we did nothing wasn't that much of a surprise to me. I mean if there was going to be any club to break the record for signing absolutely nobody I would have handpicked Levy and Spurs out of every club. He is such a notorious tight arsse when it comes to showing ambition in the market considering the stature of the club.
The real pro-Mourinho Spurs fans can surely look nowhere else for failure if even with Mourinho we don't win any trophies. It will be no clearer that Levy is the man responsible for holding us back from silverware all these years.

But top four was always prioritised over a domestic cup... Levy would clearly prefer CL entrance over a league cup. The only time Pochettino got sacked was when CL looked difficult. Not because of lack of silverware. But where Levy gets blame is if we have invested proper and not stagnated then maybe we could have got top four and a domestic trophy. Or even the Premier League ala Liverpool.

Anyway, the reason guys like Sandy are oblivious is because they have no long term thinking or consider consequences.
It's all about the now. If Mourinho fails and gets sacked Sandy will forget about what he has previously written. Contradict those very comments and have a new position to back without thinking.
Anyone who sees Pochettino as a failure because he never won Spurs a trophy isnt worth talking to. Just stupidity at its finest.
