Levy knows

Page 1 of 3

It won`t happen Don, ENIC are a bunch of businessmen and accountants, with no real ambition to win on the pitch at the expense of the balance sheet.

They will not change their ways, the only way to force them out or to change, is for people to stop turning up in their thousands. A third full stadium will kick these parasites where it really hurts them, in their pockets.

Unfortunately, there will still be plenty of prawn sandwich fans around who will continue to turn up, and Levy will continue to mug them off.

I dream of waking up one day to find out we have been taken over by Amazon, Microsoft or similar.

I'm torn on this one...we could have even worse owners that didn't pump money into the new stadium and just bled us dry and left us to rot.

What you have to remember is we are not as big as Liverpool, Utd and we can not compete with the financially doped teams...we don't have the revenue or endless funds to compete with these teams and the wages they offer to top talents.

We are trying desperately to get on their level and Levy has been ambitious with his plans to get us to that level with the stadium etc however he has made some mistakes along the way and we seem to have ended up trohpyless for 30 odd years.

I would love nothing more than a Saudi prince to come and buy as so we can do a City and Chelsea but that's unlikely so if that's not an option I think I would rather Levy and ENIC than a Mike Ashley or worse.

Levy is very lucky there were no fans this season. Last night was toxic enough with 10k in a fairly unimportant game.

If fans were there watching the shiite Jose was serving up it would have been bedlam.

If we hire another dud manager and sell Kane next season it will be more interesting watching the turnstiles than the pitch

Raising the food and drink prices is probably what facked me off the most last night. After writing that pathetic letter about how much he cares about fans adds 10% onto our pints. All he wants to do is leach on us until there's nothing left.

Pretty much what I said at the end of the game, and at HT, during the live thread.

Also, the players are lucky that fans weren't in the stadium or the boos and the banners would have swamped the ground.

Pathetic fitness levels, performance and suicidal defending.

I don't disagree with any of this. However, it's clear they are in a long term plan and the stadium was the right thing to do as it will stabilise the club for future generations. It was essential it happened.

The way I saw it, the team progression would match that. It's why I still don't get the Poch decision. And this isn't me moaning he's gone, I'm just looking at the facts (Something some of our other fans like to do).

The project was working and we probably over achieved by getting in to the champs league final. We'd built up a head of steam, consistent top four finishes and were the envy of most others with our style of play. We had an understandable blip after the final but we definitely would have recovered. I just find it odd we threw all that hard work in the bin for the Jose project. Most of knew that would fail though.

The worst thing is that its ruined the team. I can't see them coming back from it. Loosing Kane is a disaster but inevitable. To think some on here want him gone after a couple of bad games is also odd. We'll miss him enormously. It's a far greater loss that when Bale left in my opinion.

As to where ENIC go from here, who knows? None of us know the state of the finances but I don't se where this magic war chest comes from. You'll all say our owner is a billionaire but that's not how wealth works. It doesn't mean he just has billions sat around to chuck at problems. I think the team has been reasonably well backed over all but it's the management decisions that have killed us. We had our moment in the sun, time for some mid table action again!

Problem with people asking for ENIC and Levy to go is can you find suitable replacements?

People with money but aligned with Spurs fans vision of a club that plays with flair, maybe with the addition of winning trophies?
Can you find them in this climate?

I dunno Don, FFP exists and is actually enforced.

You could have Anerica buy you and that doesnt change.

Levy has completely messed up on the stadium though I feel. It finished so over budget, and you read about Levy subbing all the contracts out, it looks like he's dropped a massive boIIock on that one

It does exist on paper, but what's the worst they do? Ban you from transfer market? do like Chelsea did. Buy players before the ban, and bring them on during it

It's so flawed that Chelsea and City are stifling the competition in PL with their dirty tactics, and if this was any other business, they would've been struck off.

They get fines, bans from European competition, squad reductions and so on. Chelsea's transfer ban was not to do withFFP was it.

But has any club actually got banned from comptetions?

I feel just a token gesture
Chelsea are so dodgy, you just have to see who Roman has been financially supporting for the past 10 years. ELAD the Israeli far right group that with £100m

I can’t believe that levy increased prices in the stadium???!!!!

That’s after charging the most for the one game fans can go to at the end of the season (not entirely sure we were the most expensive though?)

I didn’t think I could lose anymore respect for the little rat but that just about sums him up

This after saying how much they care for the fans

Couldn’t make it up

========================

He's also increase the price of food and drinks, I am told

And put the fans on the top tier, so they don't get shown on TVs and their noise will be drowned

That's because no one is breaking it though.

Chelsea make oodles off loaning players.

City make an obscene amount from prize money.

There's no great conspiracy. In fact FFP was brought in after City were bought so you could say that's unfair on them if anything.

On top of that Spurs spend plenty and have a high wage bill.

They buy incredibly poorly though and that, for me, is the issue

Where does the money come from though Don? We don't have any and a huge stadium to pay off. We just can't take huge risks just to keep Kane and watch his value depreciate. You could argue that we've got the best out of him so the most sensible decision is to sell now when his value is at its highest. That's what we used to do and it worked. I'm not keen on shackling players to watch them mentally switch off in games and run their contracts down, like Eriksen. It just doesn't work.

Any decision that's made should be for the future welfare of our club, however painful that might be. From where I'm sitting, I think that means selling Kane for £130-150M. We can then start afresh with new hungry players rather than trying desperately to keep players that have long since mentally departed, if not physically.

If we do everything to keep Kane, it's the equivalent of spending a fortune on a wife or girlfriend to keep her interested knowing full well that she loves someone else. It's just demoralising. Far better to part ways and rebuild with someone that wants to be in that relationship.

You need to refer to the "Hazard model"... That's the way to get rid of your top stars... If he gets fit again we might even have him back

No way, there are still loop holes mate, how else do they pay such high wages and fees?

I do think it is definitely harder now than it was to financially dope a club.

Deffo, agree with that last statement

Our recruitment is just bloody awful and Hitchen in charge is just the yes man of Levy.
