This “sham” will continue until all the other good candidates are set and we’ll end up with Howe... which is want Levy wanted all along. It’s nothing more than a fake PR exercise to give the illusion that the club has some ambition while buying time ahead of the Euro’s to stop Kane pushing for his move...... Its all a smokescreen.... Classic Levy. Kane will still go, Conte wont be our manager and Levy will still be there...... We are a mess
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Every time and what a coincidence, these Pochettino and Conte rumours surfaced a week before season ticket deadline renewal. How convenient hey ? Levy has been mugging off our fans for years, yet there are still Levy cult members on here

If Levy doesn’t harbour the ambitions of a top club which clearly he doesn’t judging by the inept failings to produce any sort of winning formula on the football field, then how about he cuts our ticket prices in half. We pay premium prices for watching s** most sesson bar a couple of decent Pochettino seasons, yet even then we won sweet FA. Levy has it in his mind as do ENIC that we are some super power, yet we act like Wigan Athletic in the transfer market. It could all of been so different had Abramovich took over Spursnow we are left in the leech with bald penny pinching to** pot and his saggy balled silent partner Joe Lewis, whilst we have to watch the likes of Chelsea winning trophies most seasons. If you don’t want to act like a huge club Levy, then stop mugging off us Spurs supporters you pr***. If you are going to sign up Conte, then sign up and stop messing around. Stop flirting with ideas to appease supporters, then do the usual and give it the “we tried “ scenario. We all know secretly he’s after Martinez or Potter

I’m quietly confident Levy would fack up getting a sap like Potter on board. I don’t think anyone wants anything to do with Spurs. Everyone knows what a dlck Levy is and with the risk of Kane going...... it’s a huge gamble for anyone of note. I wouldn’t be shocked if Ledders ended up getting the job. I think he would have given it to him when Jose left but he picked Mason instead coz it was easier/ less fan reaction to through him under a bus

Inter are in trouble due to Covid, but mainly because their Chinese owners are being forced by the government to stop investing. It's not fair to make out that Conte has bankrupted them.
Using Leicester it's a great example. Yeah the 84% of turnover on players is stupid, and something I definitely wouldn't want to see at Spurs, but it's still around half of what we spend.. that's the problem that we need to fix.
There's also some leeway between spending billions and a little more to get the right guy the first time. That's what I see most fans moaning about, and that's what annoys me. Yeah it shows a lack of ambition, or tight fistedness or whatever, but it's just dumb. You buy cheap, you buy twice.

Sorry, getting tired of people thinking we have billions of pounds available to spend.
People keep slamming Levy for messing up contract negotiations when we do not have a clue why they fall through.
Whilst Leicester have been successful, they are spending 83% of their turnover on wages, which is unsustainable and will catch them out soon.
We cannot allow a new manager to dictate how much the club can afford. Leeds we’re a PL club when Ridsdale took over and between him and O’Leary got Leeds into a financial nightmare, which nearly bankrupted the club. They had to sell Elland Road and then lease it back to survive.
As it was they ended up dropping divisions like a stone and it has taken many years to recover.
The first duty of Directors in any business is to the Company, due diligence has to be their first aim. We are probably the best run club in the PL, in terms of fiscal responsibility. Of course trophies are hugely important for us fans, but a love all else I want the club to operate in a responsible manner and continue to be around in many years to come.
Many football clubs in the PL are treading water and unfortunately one or two might end up going out of business in the next few years.
Conte might be good for us, but he still has to accept that he won’t have the money he had at Chelsea. Interesting that Inter whilst winning Serie A are in financial trouble and will have to sell of a number of stars to continue trading.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sandy this was explained the other day, the 83% was from an article 3 years ago. So no Leicesters wage bill is not 83% of their turnover now.

I think this is where the majority of the fan base are now.
We're treated like consumers, put paying premium prices for a substandard product. I still can't believe Levy put the food and drink prices up at the Villa game. Pure profiteering. A nominal increase to their revenues but just adds more bad will from the fans towards them.
If the villa game is anything to go by things will get toxic next season unless there is a big improvement.

Completely agree.
I think there's also a disconnect between what fans think we can now spend and who we can now attract. We're now in the lowest European competition. No CL, no EL. That is a huge blow when recruiting players. Now is not the time splash the cash really as we don't really have an awful lot to draw the best players to us.
We need a lengthy rebuild not a quick fix.

Levy messed that completely up when we were so close. We had a team so close at winning major honours, yet they thought it would be wise to not spend a single penny. Once again, penny pinching from the tight bas** themselves ENIC and co. Still, people have their head in the sand and can’t seem to grasp how far the club have fallen under this lot. It’s not like we were successful anyway as they wouldn’t know success if it come up and hit them in the a**, but we were on the cusp of success. Brainless and inept decisions by our board meant we never improved on the squad and we have stagnated since.

I think there's a disconnect with wanting to win stuff and just being nice all the time/accepting that we're failures.
There is money to spend. According to the last set of accounts (June 2020) there's £226m cash in the account, with only £5m of the long term debt payable in the next 2 years. Even with the latest refinancing deal it won't be that much. There's money to spend.
Levy has got some of you lot brainwashed

Oh the Villa game was a sign no doubt mate. Fans now are sick and tired of Levy. If he thinks he can play the I’ll pretend to get Conte or Pochettino card and we end up with Martinez, I hope the fans boo them to f** all season because I certainly won’t be spending a single penny until this bald c** starts showing me he cares for the supporters
Spot on and good article.
But if we do get Conte I will be the first to say well done to Levy. I just hope it's not a house of cards and built on lies.

That’s my worry. Starting to believe he’s doing it so the fans renew the sesson tickets, then we get the “we tried” Spurs line we know so well. Suddenly Graham Potter or Martinez will be the manager. Only Spurs can go from Conte to Potter.

I don't know if I could handle that.
I may have to stay off football for a while.
Hope the message from Levy with the Conte appointment is that we mean business, and letting Kane know that too.
If it wasn't for the Jose debacle I would have been much more confident and and in a better place mentally.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
From Leciester financial accounts to the year ending May 2019, they had revenue of £178m and wages of £149m. That year they made a loss of £18m
The last financial year to the end of May 2020 (so taking into account covid) their wagess & associated costs had gone up by £8m while revenue fell £25m to £150m. They posted £60m losses last year.
So in 2018/19 wages were 83%
and 2019/20 wages were 106%.
This season will be massively worse and while they have less Matchday revenue to lose compared to some, their wages are very high relative to revenue.
AND for those of you continuing to moan about the impact of our stadium, the reason why Spurs will outperform Leicester over time is demonstrated by Leicester Matchday revenue of £15m compared to Spurs of nearly £100m. In fact Spurs sell £800k worth of food & drink at each home match, which on its own exceeds Leicester ticket sales.
I really do not think that Conte will need to spend too much and we have a large squad where a good number are, or will be, surplus to requirements.
He will not make us title contenders over night so you can expect and hope that where he is supported with a decent quality CB and CM, we will make good progress which we can build on in a years time

Refreshing to read. Getting really bored of reading the Levy bashing but each to their own.
Good read this thread.
For all his supposed penny pinching I see Levy manages to pay himself an enormous amount for a guy who finished twice over budget on his main project. The ticket prices are offensive too.
Just as a footnote does anyone think The Scenes is Sandy?

So we not getting Conte now ??
Your post suggests he has said no. Do you know something that's not being reported in the media ??
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Conte apparently is having second thoughts based on the level of investment Levy is willing to put in. Quite honestly, I think Levy is right to stand firm. We can't just get a manager in to bankrupt us. This is the warning sign about getting a manager in like Conte and why we should have gone for Poch or ETH all along. We need a manager that can work within the financial structures of the club. It's all very well saying "put your money where your mouth is" but there are rules that stop that. Lewis can't just throw in a billion. FFP rules have tightened in the last 5 years or so.
Conte is not the right man for us. I'm surprised so many thought he was.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And who is the right man? Poch I suppose.

Using Leicester it's a great example. Yeah the 84% of turnover on players is stupid, and something I definitely wouldn't want to see at Spurs, but it's still around half of what we spend.. that's the problem that we need to fix.
There's also some leeway between spending billions and a little more to get the right guy the first time. That's what I see most fans moaning about, and that's what annoys me. Yeah it shows a lack of ambition, or tight fistedness or whatever, but it's just dumb. You buy cheap, you buy twice.

Sorry, getting tired of people thinking we have billions of pounds available to spend.
People keep slamming Levy for messing up contract negotiations when we do not have a clue why they fall through.
Whilst Leicester have been successful, they are spending 83% of their turnover on wages, which is unsustainable and will catch them out soon.
We cannot allow a new manager to dictate how much the club can afford. Leeds we’re a PL club when Ridsdale took over and between him and O’Leary got Leeds into a financial nightmare, which nearly bankrupted the club. They had to sell Elland Road and then lease it back to survive.
As it was they ended up dropping divisions like a stone and it has taken many years to recover.
The first duty of Directors in any business is to the Company, due diligence has to be their first aim. We are probably the best run club in the PL, in terms of fiscal responsibility. Of course trophies are hugely important for us fans, but a love all else I want the club to operate in a responsible manner and continue to be around in many years to come.
Many football clubs in the PL are treading water and unfortunately one or two might end up going out of business in the next few years.
Conte might be good for us, but he still has to accept that he won’t have the money he had at Chelsea. Interesting that Inter whilst winning Serie A are in financial trouble and will have to sell of a number of stars to continue trading.

Sandy this was explained the other day, the 83% was from an article 3 years ago. So no Leicesters wage bill is not 83% of their turnover now.

Thinking of it, we could've had Grealish if we'd just given them 25m. Njie and Nkoudou must've cost around that. Now he's a 100m player.

If Levy doesn’t harbour the ambitions of a top club which clearly he doesn’t judging by the inept failings to produce any sort of winning formula on the football field, then how about he cuts our ticket prices in half. We pay premium prices for watching s** most sesson bar a couple of decent Pochettino seasons, yet even then we won sweet FA. Levy has it in his mind as do ENIC that we are some super power, yet we act like Wigan Athletic in the transfer market. It could all of been so different had Abramovich took over Spursnow we are left in the leech with bald penny pinching to** pot and his saggy balled silent partner Joe Lewis, whilst we have to watch the likes of Chelsea winning trophies most seasons. If you don’t want to act like a huge club Levy, then stop mugging off us Spurs supporters you pr***. If you are going to sign up Conte, then sign up and stop messing around. Stop flirting with ideas to appease supporters, then do the usual and give it the “we tried “ scenario. We all know secretly he’s after Martinez or Potter
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think this is where the majority of the fan base are now.
We're treated like consumers, put paying premium prices for a substandard product. I still can't believe Levy put the food and drink prices up at the Villa game. Pure profiteering. A nominal increase to their revenues but just adds more bad will from the fans towards them.
If the villa game is anything to go by things will get toxic next season unless there is a big improvement.

I think there's also a disconnect between what fans think we can now spend and who we can now attract. We're now in the lowest European competition. No CL, no EL. That is a huge blow when recruiting players. Now is not the time splash the cash really as we don't really have an awful lot to draw the best players to us.
We need a lengthy rebuild not a quick fix.

I’m quietly confident Levy would fack up getting a sap like Potter on board. I don’t think anyone wants anything to do with Spurs. Everyone knows what a dlck Levy is and with the risk of Kane going...... it’s a huge gamble for anyone of note. I wouldn’t be shocked if Ledders ended up getting the job. I think he would have given it to him when Jose left but he picked Mason instead coz it was easier/ less fan reaction to through him under a bus
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Levy messed that completely up when we were so close. We had a team so close at winning major honours, yet they thought it would be wise to not spend a single penny. Once again, penny pinching from the tight bas** themselves ENIC and co. Still, people have their head in the sand and can’t seem to grasp how far the club have fallen under this lot. It’s not like we were successful anyway as they wouldn’t know success if it come up and hit them in the a**, but we were on the cusp of success. Brainless and inept decisions by our board meant we never improved on the squad and we have stagnated since.

I think there's a disconnect with wanting to win stuff and just being nice all the time/accepting that we're failures.
There is money to spend. According to the last set of accounts (June 2020) there's £226m cash in the account, with only £5m of the long term debt payable in the next 2 years. Even with the latest refinancing deal it won't be that much. There's money to spend.
Levy has got some of you lot brainwashed

Oh the Villa game was a sign no doubt mate. Fans now are sick and tired of Levy. If he thinks he can play the I’ll pretend to get Conte or Pochettino card and we end up with Martinez, I hope the fans boo them to f** all season because I certainly won’t be spending a single penny until this bald c** starts showing me he cares for the supporters

That’s my worry. Starting to believe he’s doing it so the fans renew the sesson tickets, then we get the “we tried” Spurs line we know so well. Suddenly Graham Potter or Martinez will be the manager. Only Spurs can go from Conte to Potter.

I don't know if I could handle that.
I may have to stay off football for a while.
Hope the message from Levy with the Conte appointment is that we mean business, and letting Kane know that too.
If it wasn't for the Jose debacle I would have been much more confident and and in a better place mentally.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
From Leciester financial accounts to the year ending May 2019, they had revenue of £178m and wages of £149m. That year they made a loss of £18m
The last financial year to the end of May 2020 (so taking into account covid) their wagess & associated costs had gone up by £8m while revenue fell £25m to £150m. They posted £60m losses last year.
So in 2018/19 wages were 83%
and 2019/20 wages were 106%.
This season will be massively worse and while they have less Matchday revenue to lose compared to some, their wages are very high relative to revenue.
AND for those of you continuing to moan about the impact of our stadium, the reason why Spurs will outperform Leicester over time is demonstrated by Leicester Matchday revenue of £15m compared to Spurs of nearly £100m. In fact Spurs sell £800k worth of food & drink at each home match, which on its own exceeds Leicester ticket sales.

I really do not think that Conte will need to spend too much and we have a large squad where a good number are, or will be, surplus to requirements.
He will not make us title contenders over night so you can expect and hope that where he is supported with a decent quality CB and CM, we will make good progress which we can build on in a years time

Good read this thread.
For all his supposed penny pinching I see Levy manages to pay himself an enormous amount for a guy who finished twice over budget on his main project. The ticket prices are offensive too.

So we not getting Conte now ??
Your post suggests he has said no. Do you know something that's not being reported in the media ??
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Conte apparently is having second thoughts based on the level of investment Levy is willing to put in. Quite honestly, I think Levy is right to stand firm. We can't just get a manager in to bankrupt us. This is the warning sign about getting a manager in like Conte and why we should have gone for Poch or ETH all along. We need a manager that can work within the financial structures of the club. It's all very well saying "put your money where your mouth is" but there are rules that stop that. Lewis can't just throw in a billion. FFP rules have tightened in the last 5 years or so.
Conte is not the right man for us. I'm surprised so many thought he was.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And who is the right man? Poch I suppose.
