I'm not saying we shouldn't be frustrated or disappointed. I am, too, that we didn't get an extra striker. I, too, would like to see a shiny new player come in and make us even better. What I'm calling out are the proclamations of doom and over-the-top statements, as if we'd be going from being third with the best defense and GD to relegation fodder, just because we didn't sign a bench player. I'm calling out people blaming Poch and Levy without knowing the full story behind why certain transfers didn't happen, but who are just speculating on the why. I'm calling out those who make stuff up or selectively choose the things that suit their narrative and can't provide a balanced view. And finally I'm calling out people who are whining all the time and can't see all the progress we have made and how well positioned we are to continue this progress.
I think those are fair things to call out, wouldn't you say?
I think it would be fair things to call out, and I think your reply is very very good. The fact we share the same frustration/disappointment means I can very much relate to your post, I can see the passion for the club that burns within and I can assure you I feel the same, of course people react to frustration in different ways which brings me to....
I see a real lack of empathy on this board sometimes, and it frustrates the hell out of me it really does, just to be clear I am not singling you out on this, its across the spectrum and you are the unfortunate recipient of built up annoyance within me that has obviously bubbled over, so sorry about that.
Those are fair things to call out and I would like to think I am not guilty of any of them, but if we all said nothing because we do not know the goings on between Levy and Poch then this forum would be very dull indeed.
Half the time all we can do is speculate, is that not what this place is for?
It would please me greatly if sometimes we could all entertain the notion that as posters sometimes our view could quite possibly be wrong, or that a different opinion might be worth politely debating, rather than such and such is moaning again, because things then get posted that puts other peoples backs up. I think some people get to precious and see disagreement on their views like a personal attack.
I do think Poch is the bees knees, I think he is also bringing out the best in Levy, but I do not think either of them should be held on such a pedal stool where someone cannot come on here and question things if it does not sit right with them, I do not think it makes them any less of a devoted Spurs fan to question either of our hierarchy.
Please forgive my rambling, I am recovering from my frustration at our lack of transfer dealings, I did not intend to transform into a poopy head overnight...I am getting over this and last night certainly helped.....I threw a wobbler I hope you can understand this!
With regards to Poch and Levy I will choose to do exactly what I did after the disappointment of not signing a striker in the summer...
I will choose to trust.
