Levy, and whoever else has been running Spurs has royally fucked the platform Poch and that group of players elevated the club too since leaving WHL. 

 

In football, as we've seen past 13 years, shit flows back to the top. Levy and Spurs hit their glass ceiling under Poch - their sporting cycle, that generational team of players (Lloris, Rose, Walker, Toby, Dembele, Alli, Kane) peaked to become a fantastic side, but even at their best they were never best in class.

 

Something proper broken in that Spurs' dressing room/squad/group. Could see it throughout that Amazon documentary - seemed like Mourinho was talking to a brick wall half the time. In-fighting, even Dier marching into stands (appreciate circumstance), but just hard to imagine that in Guardiola/Klopp dressing rooms - the two teams Tottenham have to finish above to ever win anything anytime soon.

 

Conte's top tier, but it's a dream to think he can 'achieve' anything there; I say 'achieve', as now I feel, because of aforementioned level Poch elevated them to, media and now a large portion of Spurs fans now believe they should be challenging at the top of the table, and going into every game winning it. 

 

No signing that Levy has made for a long, long while has come into that side and been a flying success, or really elevated that side. Son is only name I can think off going back as far as when Poch first came in there, going back further your looking at Eriksen/Lamela/Dembele/Vertonghen/Lloris which is years ago now.

 

Around Spurs now, there is an air of expectancy - something that was often levelled at our fanbase - but whilst we never actually expected CL football, a good majority along with London based media do expect that from Spurs now. It baffles me, as I think that mentality and levels of expectancy are built on sand. Strip back their incredible stadium, A list appointments in Jose/Conte, they've a CL final and coming 3rd in a two horse title race to Leicester since winning the league cup in 2009 - before that 1991. 

 

Someone has to finish 6th in the table. Delusions of gradure. Love to see it though, that odious gremlin Levy! 

 

Enjoyed Lampard's quip with Neville - "Favourite ground to play at? - '3 point Lane"

Problem is that Levy has screwed the pooch so completely with their debt that everything is an existential crisis for spurs. If they not in Europe, they' re f*cked. Thus, the super league and fighting tooth and nail against the sale of our club.

 

Look forward to them doing a Leeds.

Crazy you can punch cops in other countries and not get immediately shot. :lol: 

A happy medium seems logical! (Not stabbing, before anyone lunges in with a cutting comment)

 

Grim. Surprised other police weren't wading in stopping that. Poor sods were defenseless. Likely Protocol and strategy though. I assume wading in would cause a tidal wave from the fans and giving them what they want.

For a good while they were a Eufa Cup/Europa League side under Ramos, Jol, AVB etc. then, like I say Poch gelled a group of players to hit career peaks (Walker aside...), and they still only finished 3rd in a two horse title challenge. By the time they got the CL final, that group were on the wane - the side that finished 3rd I think was better than the team that lost to Liverpool in the CL. Kane hitting 30+, Alli scoring, Walker/Rose bombing on, Vert/Toby being best CB partnership in league for good two year, an un-tackleable Dembele....

 

Levy's hanging is hat on achievements that are really isolated, what Poch gave him when everything worked - real 110% stuff, but still their glass ceiling was CL qualification. If you take a step back - someone has to finish 6th, that's Spurs. Levy's running that club into the ground through his maniacal-Napolean-syndrome attack at Spurs' natural glass ceiling by trying to continue to attack said ceiling with tooth picks made from pound notes. 

 

Don't think he's daft enough to run it into the ground ala Leeds - but there is something rotten to the core there. Heard the term culture used a lot lately, but whatever 'culture' Poch instilled when he was there turned sour before he left, and is festering. Could see that dressing room was too fucked/stupid/not arsed to by into what Mourinho wanted - and who ever is signing players there, what have Fernandes, Bergweijn done - highly doubt they were top of Mourinho's list of improvements needed for that side. 


Conte is going to be the same as Mourinho, probably even more brutal and to the point. Jose obviously tried to implement change, and can imagine Levy took exception to how the running of the club is being dealt. Trouble for Levy is now, Spurs need Conte more than Conte needs Spurs - balance of power, and energy in that club is fucked as soon as they booted Jose.
