    There’s a huge disconnect between the fan expectation, led by ticket price and a world beating stadium vs mediocre investment into potential, not worldies. That’s the crux of it in my view as a season ticket holder.

    Levy has spent money but his constant negotiating for a better deal has meant that he has missed out on key signings because he was trying to save a million or two here or there.
    He can't see the big picture.

      Exactly this. Add to it that the club cannot handle multiple negotiations due to need of Levy signing off. Even when he has hired those to handle the football side. I am referring tor contracts, and transfers in and out.

    Jose wins before Spurs, wins nothing at Spurs, wins at his next job. Conte wins before Spurs, wins nothing at Spurs, wins at his next job. Yeah right, it's the managers and not the owners.
    The idea that Poch didn't want to sign any players is total BS, and who told him that?... Steve "I hate transfer windows"Hitchen. The club is rotten to the core and it all starts with Jordans mate and MOT Levy

    Great comment by Simon at the end. I think Pleat is an old school manager who was never particularly great at Spurs and is a Levy fan. Conte was spot on, the reason Spurs have not won anything is because their mentality is wrong. Take Maddison, he should think I am going to fight for my place but instead people talk as if he should walk in the team. Every player should fight for their place not think they have made it playing for Spurs

    Levy is the only consistent problem spurs have .... Wouldn't pay for Raya , we get vicario , wouldn't pay for Diaz , we get Johnson , it has been like that for us ever since he's been there , countless times going for the temu option , always going for other clubs 2nd or 3rd options .... The greatest example was when poch worked miracles and built a top side on very little money we won the lottery with those players as in paying relatively small fees for players that become top players , that squad there was our chance , it was our golden ticket to Cement our place in regularly challenging , all we had to do was take that last step and invest with more quality each year like the big clubs do , get rid of a couple , freshen it up with a couple .... We had waited forever to finally be in that position and what did levy do when poch was begging him for a rebuild ? He sacked him and then let our squad rot for three years , completely undone everything and now we're back where we were again , trying to nick forth for a successful season .... These pundits make you laugh , he is with out doubt your biggest problem

    The Spanish manager came from the youth set up. I think people are doing what they usually do when a new manager comes in and that's get put under a euphoric state. Personally I can't see it working out with Tuchel, I think we will go back to making at the most a Quarter final, but, if we do win then it will go down as a Anglo/German win not just an England win. This is international football where the nationality is a key part of the presentation, so the manager being German will have a huge influence in what ever result there is. Personally, I think International football should be managed by a manager with the same nationality. Other wise the whole national component means nothing if not considerably less.

    It’s very easy to allocate blame to managers, they didn’t perform, but with Tottenham managers are just scape goats. Maurinho and Conte have one thing in common, which they have in common with many managers, and that is that they didn’t win anything at Tottenham. Postecoglou has also won something at every club he’s managed and he’s 15 months into this job and the knives are out again. At some stage, reality needs to set in and the fingers need to be pointed in the direction of the common denominator, and not the endless string of highly successful managers that can’t get it right. Managers have changed, players have changed, staff has changed, and still, no silverware, but there is one thing that hasn’t changed and it’s abundantly clear where the problem lies. Tottenham is the third most profitable sports franchise in the world, and the most profitable football club in the world, which is clear evidence that it’s a very well operated business, which is what it’s all about for the owners, and to hell with the fans and silverware.

Trying to turn the club more into the American model of sports entertainment instead of proper successful team. From day one ENIC we’re very clear they are not football people but investors looking to make money from the club. Alan Sugar hated his experience in football and sold the club on to people he knew didn’t give a monkey about the team becoming successful. That’s the reality

    There is such a thing called organisational culture. Sir Richard Branson wrote his book about it and how hard it is to change. It is certainly feasible that Spurs have a problem of culture within the club. Things like the way their fans behaved last season in relation to the Tottenham v Man City game bear this out. You could argue the fans do not make up the clubs culture, but Ange specifically stated that there were "people within the club" who held similar views. That is reprehensible and he probably should have walked then.
