Their plans on the pitch make little sense, keep hiring cheque book managers but we don’t have the squad for them. I have not seen any true vision for the club in the same way Liverpool have shown or Woolwich, these are not oil giants like City.
We didn’t need the new stadium to hire someone like Ten Hag or Potter as coach buying up and coming players while the chairman has zero involvement of who comes and goes other than signing the cheques.
Conte and dare I say Paratici feel like short term appointments until the next opportunistic moment like a teenager moving on to his/her next crush. The running of the club as an actual football club feels stale, out of ideas, flat and done. Maybe Conte wants a long term project but it would surprise me.
The off the field is fine, stadium and training ground are done, financing fixed long term. They have set up the club well for a new owner who has ambition on the football pitch hence why now would be a great time to hand over. The club needs new energy and vision, it’s stale as fuck. We are in an entertainment business and we are the most boring people around. If ENIC/Levy was a footballer manager they would be AVB, won’t get you relegated but won’t inspire anything.

Anyone feel they been dealt a right shitty stack of cards in life supporting this club? It’s endless fucking heartbreak isn’t it? Literally cursed
Woolwich fans having a party and taking the piss.
Probably win the league as our disgusting trophy drought continues. And some fans seemingly content with the status quo.
What the fuck is the matter with you guys

Can the club be sued for the slogan of, "to dare is to do".
False advertising.
False advertising.
Well carry on supporting ENIC and we’ll certainly be out of Europe.I feel like I’m in a brexit thread
Problem is, this isn't new. Its been a couple of decades of poor judgement. As you well know. We can argue infrastructure. And maybe you would win. Although where have our youth come from? Last in the first team was Tanganga and Winks and they were there before the new academy was built. Villa and leeds beat us on that narrative. Let alone city, liverpool, chelsea and Scum.
But player acquisitions and, well i don't even need to argue.
Failure after failure.
Its true I dint have a golden folder. I cant quite remember verbatim what you said. But you my friend have always been a lets wait and see , maybe teflon has a plan kind of guy.
This isn’t a dig. You’re as Spurs as anyone and just want the team to win. Christ. Youre more spurs than me. I checked out 3 years ago.
But I hate that folks think hes going to change. Its battered wife syndrome. Worse than Stockholm syndrome even.
Even if he did splash the cash I have no confidence from 22 years of observance he CAN change.
Frankly id be gutted we do get 400 million from Qatar with a secondary share option and teflon gets to spend it.
You say we couldn’t realised money straight away from the stadium, but we could have. Even at a cut price 250m naming rights after covid we could have given that to Poch and say rebuild.
Guy is clueless at football. Its as plain as the battered mars bar you eat for tea.

Can we stop comparing the amount we are spending to Chelsea, Liverpool, Arse, Man Utd, Newcastle etc.
And just focus on the fact that we have giant holes in both the first 11 and squad that needed filling.
Does anybody disagree that we need a couple of CB's, a longterm backup to Hugo, some kind of creative outlet in the middle of the park who can supply the front 3 (I'll just call it the Eriksen role for ease) and a LWB to replace Sess because we know Perisic can't play every week and isn't suited against certain opposition.
So while Porro on paper was a good transfer that fixed an issue, an Danjuma is hopefully an upgrade on Gil.
We didn't really address too many issues did we?
I always see people saying that we will tackle these issues in the summer, but what about this season? Are you writing off this season? or do you think we can win a trophy with the aformentioned holes?
I just don't understand the mentality of some people. We pay the most for tickets in the UK, which probably also means in the world, we are in the top 10 richest clubs.
This window we've done 2 loan deals and shipped 3 out. Please somebody make the pro ENIC position make some fucking sense to me if you can.

FUCK ENIC
Correct. Allowing Abramovich in fucked football. Everything since they has been a follow on from that.
Your not a spurs fan, your just some idiot whose opinion is neither asked for or wanted. So do us all a favour and go back under that rock you crawled out of. Today is not the day for your turgid and unyielding mumblings about how wonderful levy and enic are.

The Great Con of Tottenham Hotspur - World of Hotspur
Share This: As fans’ restlessness and unease grows, Tottenham’s ownership seems primed to double down on their failed policies of the past 22 years. And while some may perceive Tottenham’s chronic malaise as neglect, or ineptitude, a closer look reveals far worse; everything is going exactly...

Aaah, the old "be careful what you wish for", the eternal fallback of the unambitious. Don't take that new job, you may not like it, don't buy that house, it might fall down.
Don't sign that player, he might turn out shit, don't bring in that manager, he could be worse than the last one.
Me, I'm going to carefully wish for owners whose primary concern is making us a successful football club where it most matters, on the pitch.
Just thinking things through and asked myself these questions
1.Do i enjoy the way we play football at the moment?- No
2. Do i think we will win something this year? - No.
3. Am i confindent that we are moving forward as a club& team? - No
4.Have beigals been reintroduced in the ground matchday? - No
5. Do i enjoy the match day drink pre/post game in the pubs with my mates? - Yes
Out of all them,the only positive is the only one that has nothing to do with ENIC.
Make of that what you will.

I voted ENIC out.
My reasoning for this is because I think they’ve taken the club as far as they can, and can’t see them levelling enough money to take us that final and most difficult step - to win things and consistently compete for the title.
There’s no doubt they’ve done a lot of good - certainly put us in a much better position on and off the pitch from when they took over.
But it’s clear that they can’t/don’t want to take that next step.
