    Stadium Get the fans back in (the corporate ones)

    Since when was it government policy to only let in 4,000 corporates as opposed to 4,000 normal fans? I'd go for a halfway measure, introduce a ballet for 2,000 season ticket holders and have 2,000 corporates.

    Stadium Get the fans back in (the corporate ones)

    Typical myopic Levy decision (if reports are true) - a short-term financial decision which may have longer-term negative consequences. Like not backing your best manager for many years over two transfer windows. Or commissioning a documentary without asking your manager. Imagine if Spurs...

    Dear Spurs Fans Whenever did I listen to you? God

    Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

    If Kane gets injured, they are going to play Son as a number 10. He can plug the gap for a few matches but not for a long-term injury. Levy is obsessed with control but if Kane gets a serious injury, all that meticulous planning will be worthless. Enic have been burned by strikers in the past -...

    Ex-Spurs Player Dele

    Dele is a purple patch player, he is immature and not all that interested in winning. Enic have built the players a luxury resort, which he checks into to see his mates, see their new motors, piss about a bit, and do a couple of cameos on Spurs TV. He won't fulfil his early promise, like a lot...

    If this is the case, it is going to alienate a lot of the Spurs faithful.

    Transfers Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

    It's going to be a very underwhelming summer for transfers but that has been the trend under ENIC for a while now. It isn't going to get any better in the context of Covid. One of the main issues with the academy is that changing managers at the top can really mess things up. A lot of the...

    Ex-Spurs Player Dele

    Couldn't agree more, you just can't tell. I saw Postiga play pre-season against Stevenage and he was fucking brilliant.

    Transfers Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

    Not too sure why Rose is getting so much grief. These kind of conversations happen all the time but as he is on his way out Spurs have let Amazon highlight Rose. For my money he has been a good player for us down the years but it's clear he is unhappy since the Walker transfer, he probably feels...

    Ex-Spurs Player Paul Gascoigne

    I'm not sure anyone can play Gazza other than Gazza, he is just unique in too many ways. It's a bit like Van Morrison, a lot of Irish artists have recorded versions of his songs for his 75th birthday but they only really work when the Belfast Cowboy is singing them. I expect El Tel will want to...

    Management Trevor Birch Joins Spurs

    Say what you want about Levy, but you can't deny he has single-handedly built up one of the best squads of Chartered Accountants in the country outside of the Big Four.

    Manager Mauricio Pochettino

    It's incredible how his stock has fallen, considering a couple of seasons ago the concern at Spurs was losing him to a Madrid or United. His career has lost momentum and I think he needs to get a new role asap, as football moves on so quickly. That probably means compromising rather than waiting...

    Ex-Spurs Player Gareth Bale

    You couldn't find a player who is less likely to fulfil the Tottenham transfer criteria. Levy likes to sign young players, on relatively modest wages, who haven't suffered serious injuries. The only exception would be if they could organise some kind of loan deal with Madrid, where Madrid still...

    Shame we didn't sign Donny VB, I think Man United got him fairly cheap.

    Management Levy / ENIC

    Billionaires can have reasons for buying football clubs other than profit, look at Abramovic, I'm sure he bought Chelsea partly to get a media profile in the West, making it harder for the dark forces that be to bump him off. But I think the era of the oligarchs buying PL football clubs may be...

    Management Levy / ENIC

    Everyone, KEEP THIS TO YOURSELVES, I've just done a bit of private investigation work on the issue about our future. I am NOT mucking about here. But... I googled "Tottenham Sale" and you would not fucking believe what I found. (Whisper it: You can get 50% off a Spurs Womens Pink Lace Bra) Spurs...

    Media Amazon fly-on-the-wall documentary about Spurs

    It will be interesting to see what kind of viewing figures the documentary gets worldwide and whether it attracts a new legion of fans/people Levy can flog stuff to. Mourinho is box office, he knows how the media works; e.g. the scene in which he turns off the tele and tells the presenter to...

    Media Amazon fly-on-the-wall documentary about Spurs

    For my money the most important signing under Enic in terms of changing this in the past was Edgar Davids. He would rip into the players who weren't performing at half-time and from then on we became a lot tougher. But I think it is a lot harder now to motivate players as they are pretty much...

    Media Amazon fly-on-the-wall documentary about Spurs

    We are so used to thinking of Levy as a constant and the manager as disposable, maybe the future will spring a surprise. Levy will go/Enic sell, Mourinho will stay, Bezos will buy. Who knows! Then the league is a big possibility. But I can't see us competing for the PL without huge investment...
