    Levy's Plan

    Disagree. Arnesen was a DoF with a huge bias on recruiting players in. His track record of doing that was as hit and miss as the next man. We didn't need that model as much as a general manager for football operations to cover our chairman's own weaknesses. Levy's only real attempt at that was...

    Johan Lange - Sporting Director

    And I do think the club were genuine in their attempts to sign Semenyo. They were probably hopeful that Conor would give us that cultural boost in the changing room.

    Levy's Plan

    So in the THFC business model there is clearly an annual P&L and Balance Sheet. There is also a mid and long term plan. Within that there would be revenue and expenses that are very predictable and easily modelled. Above that there are some more difficult variables like whether we're in UEFA...

    Johan Lange - Sporting Director

    What player would have made a difference though when it is the club culture that is taking us down and now the player quality? Weren't we involved in 2 of the big 5 or 6 transfers in January. We also picked up a highly rated 19 year old for the future. I really believe we need to see the wood...

    OMT Spurs v Athletico

    What I'm gonna hang onto is the difference between La Liga and the PL for this one. A La Liga match fit Gallagher turns up at Spurs and has been 2 yards off the PL pace for 10 games. So have a feeling AM will be technically better and more organised than us but we need to use the PL intensity to...

    Luka Vuskovic

    It probably wouldn't be a contractual based decision. It would be a financial one. I could easily argue that we'd get that wrong and sell a player whose stock is high as a short term decision rather than leverage him to get us back into the riches of the PL. That is the sort of thing Spurs do.

    What was the trigger in our downward trend?

    Unfortunately, Robbie was pretty poor in his second stint at Spurs. He left as a 28 year old with almost a one in two scoring record. He returned as a 29 year old and went to 1 in 4. So I can imagine that conversation happening about a 30 or 31 year old Robbie and it was quite logical. Robbie...

    What was the trigger in our downward trend?

    Just a thought but exactly how good is/was Conte? He spent a very long playing and managerial career in Italy. He then had a brief hiatus with Mourinho's Chelsea side and won the league. He disrupted the league with that 3-5-2 system for one season but then opposition managers got wise. He...

    Would relegation be that bad?

    We all would. Money ruined football. That playoff labelled the "£100m game" is toxic.

    VAR: Sponsored by Chelsea

    It won't be enough. Writing a letter and letting organisations like the BBC run with a small story is not what's needed. What Spurs needed was a public statement of discontent through their official website demanding answers from PGMOL. It should have been written registering discontent about...

    Would relegation be that bad?

    Wonder what the odds are for Spurs winning silverware next season. Either coming first in the Championship or winning the playoff final comes with a trophy right. That would be 2 trophies in 3 years.

    Would relegation be that bad?

    Here's the problem though. What happens if whatever manager type you put in doesn't make one difference to the players? You can have your arm round the shoulder type or you can have your tough barsteward type. You even have the ones who can customise their coaching approach player to player. The...

    The "If we go down" thread

    We're not so good at cup finals this season. We have one every week and come runners up every time.

    What was the trigger in our downward trend?

    A few thoughts from me.... The lack of succession planning for Kane and Son wasn't the only problem for me with those guys. It was not treating them like equals that became the problem. Jose designed a system where 27/28 year old Kane and Son (and Moura) could just be as casual as they want...

    Igor the Interim

    Nah, he'll be way more subtle than that. Managers only jettison and deride players in extreme circumstances. More likely, they just find themselves on the bench and if they can't come on and make a big effort then they'll likely to stay on the bench for the next one. There's also training as...

    ENIC

    It's certainly worrying. We were proud of getting ahead of those clubs like Villa, Everton, Saudi Sportswashing Machine. It was our narrative that we all apparently had the same opportunity when ENIC took over but Levy forged us ahead of them. Now we find ourselves scratching our heads why our own club can't be...

    Igor the Interim

    Vic, Kinsky, Porro, Spence, Udogie, Souza, Romero, VDV (1 game league suspension), Danso, Dragu, Gray, Biss, Gallagher, Sarr, Palhinha, Simons, Tel, Muani, Richi, Solanke If (big if) we do have Udogie, Spence, Dragu back for next week's fixtures then he's 20 strong and 18 outfielders. Problem...

    You mean to say Spurs players are being passive aggressive? Like we've never seen that before from our senior players.

    Levy's Plan

    Your ENIC comment is interesting and I've always felt Collecott was a massive part of the problem. If you think back to the model, Matthew was dual role as both THFC and ENIC CFO. That is a conflict of interest in my mind. Levy shouldn't have stood for that. He should have had his own finance...
