Good post. What other fans of a big club actively wants their best players sold. Possibly to a domestic rival. It's absolutely absurd.
You keep your best players, and use your financial muscle to invest in the quality of player fit to compliment them rather than Hotels and cinema's etc...

Every player has the right time.

Beckham at United. Henry at Woolwich.

We could have got 150m for dele and dier combined at their peak. And people like you would have used that as evidence that we have no ambition as we sell our best players.

Nothing makes me think things will be sorted next summer. Our chairman does not know how to run a football club. To me we are simply more likely to win matches with the two strikers we have now than with whatever donkeys Levy will get conned into buying.

My arguments are selective? Maybe you can point me to some examples of Levy successfully replacing any of the first XI from the Poch era team. It’s easy to forget, but Levy has never really had to rebuild a consistent top 4 team before. Replacing players like Zokora and Kanoute is not hard. Replacing world class players is much harder. We are talking about a man who replaced Van Der Vaart with Gylfi Sigurdsson.

If you think nothing will be sorted next Summer then why would you want to into the following season £120m poorer? Even if you want us to win matches with them now/next season ultimately we are still faced with the same problem - all your doing is prolonging the inevitable albeit with less money - nothing about your argument makes any business or footballing sense.

I think your being pretty selective, I mean if you're including Emerson's transfer which was under Paratici then why have you left out Bentancur, Porro, Romero etc..You're never going to successfully replace World Class players, that's just how it is unless you're Man City, Chelsea haven't replaced Hazard, Liverpool haven't replaced Mane for example.

I agree though our footballing structure and our transfer strategy have been dogs but I will never understand why you'd want us to have less money will a poor structure than more money, it will just lead to inevitable more poor decisions.

Lets face it we need to start from scratch again, a complete reset. But is that possible with Levy at the top? History would say no.
We all thought that with the arrival of Conte, Levy would change, that he would understand how his successful new manager's player acquisition worked, that he had to bring in the players that Conte wanted and nobody else but those players. It looked for a while that he had adapted, some early signings crossed the line last summer and we all thought OMG Levy has changed, no more last minute deals for players that nobody else wants, kids or players that had to be googled.
However it wasn't to last. The first inkling that something was badly wrong when no top CB's joined the squad. Next when a youngster was signed instead of a proper RWB. We could all see that once again Levy was meddling in footballing matters. Cracks between him and Conte appeared. As an afterthought a CB finally arrived, on loan from a club that didn't want him due to poor form. Then a massive brain-fart for a back-up striker that finds it hard to score goals in the PL. Though the jury is still out on him TBF, but a Toney he certainly isn't.
Conte's implosion points to the likelihood that he got very little of what he wanted.
So where do we go from here? Please not more of the same. More rinses and repeat and dog day afternoons of Levy meddling. Now Levy has dug an even deeper hole for himself, one that is deeper than his step ladder this time I think. He's been digging like mad ever since his blatant snub of the wonderful Pochettino. A manager the like of which he will never find again. Levy's name is now dirt in the footballing world, our club a joke. Who in their right mind is going to want to suffer Levy's smothering control?
Now it transpires he's employed a criminal DoF, wow what judgement of character Levy possesses!
Levy had a once in a lifetime opportunity with Pochettino, he buried his head in the sand and counted beans instead of backing him. The rise and fall of THFC. The rise and fall of Daniel Levy.

Been saying it for years and will say it forever

"Expensive" manager appointments are just to fool us idiots in to spending our money.
People go on about how much we paid Conte. How much did we pay Conte?
We paid him about 1/4 the price of a defender that would make us a good team. THAT's how much we paid him.

How much did we pay Mourinho? About 1/4 the price of the forward we needed and then gave him Vinicious whatshisname on loan.

And everyone buys the illusion we're showing ambition.

:levylol:
 
I think Levy will be able to get through the quagmire.

The bigger issue is will we be in a position to appoint a manager at the end of the season, if not sooner and to be in a position to back him in the summer.

And we don't need a big name manager but we do need one with big ambition and clarity.

How many would have touted Arteta as being as capable as he seems or Southgate, who let us never forget, if he had been brought in at some point as our manager, players probably like Kane would have decried as lacking quality or the necessary experience.

We just need a wee bit of luck.

Arteta and Southgate aren't capable. They are both in good environments with plenty of talent around them.

Arteta is a lego David Brent. Give him this Spurs squad and he'd have been fired after 10 games. Sadly, Edu and that smughole of a club just gave him some serious talent to work with and the FA gave them just about perfect fixtures (There is a reason they are the most owned FPL players since the very start of the season).
 
It’s a good point. Season ticket renewal is around the corner, if they are jacking the prices 5-10% they will need an ace card particularly with Kane probably off on the summer.

If they can’t get Naglesmann think Levy will run to his get out of jail free Poch card.

Disgraceful...

The diehards that still fork out fortunes to watch this mess should get a season ticket decrease and a personalized letter of apology from the club for this absolute shit show of a season.

think Fabio-Gate has killed their hopes of raising season tickets.

Uncle Joe will notice that as well because it will impact the bottom line.

Levy will be under the most pressure from upstairs during his entire time at the club.

The year ENIC took over, Woolwich won the league and cup double. Woolwich were the best team in the country.

Before that they had won 11 league titles, 7 FA cups, 1 cup winners cup and 2 league cups. 21 total.

We had won 2 league titles, 8 FA cups, 3 league cups, 2 uefa cups and 1 cup winners cup. 16 total.

So you’re wrong. Woolwich had won more trophies than us before Enic took over.
 
Ffs. They only spend shitloads on managers so they don't have to spend so much on changing the squad around when the latest fucker put into post decides that half of them are still nowhere near good enough and can never be magically turd-polished into title challenging players.

Bollocks , what a trolling cunt .

You defend Enic's record not the club .

Before they took over we were still the 4th most successful club in silverware even after another prime wanker Sugar .

Stick that up your duckbum bidet

Yeah,

but then football changed - Abramovic came into Chelsea then the Sheiks to Abu Dabhi and since 2000 guess who's won pretty much all the trophies?
Chelsea and City
