The target for Poch and the team was not to win any trophies but to build the stadium?CL final I don't think changes the bigger picture (a win might help profile wise tho); NWHL + top for was the target....

Yes - the usual suspectsIt's so blatant Poch is telling the chairman he wants to be heavily backed in the transfer window why does anyone refute this?
He ain’t a supporter Mrs P, he is nothing but a troll!I use the disagree button very sparingly, but we have to put up with this rot from the media, really fed up with reading comments like this from our own supporters. I'm pretty pessimistic by nature, but after Wednesday night, I just can't see him going anywhere, certainly not at the end of this season.
Yes I know this can come back to bite me, but for once I have faith in the manager and the chairman to do the right thing for our club.
Stopped reading after thatI use the disagree button very sparingly,
Yup. People tend to forget this. Daniel is not some undisputed dictator. He has a board that has to agree with him, and big papa Joe who can overturn him at any moment.Surely levy doesn’t hold all the cards anyway, he is just a puppet for Enic, they are surely the ones who control the money and make the final decision?
I agree wholeheartedly with you, Mrs P.I have no idea why people have to pitch manager against chairman, blaming one or other when things go wrong or only crediting one of them for our progress. Surely to goodness we need both to work in tandem and do their respective jobs to the best of their ability, which in turn will mean success for the Club, on and off the pitch. This is the modern game - love it or hate it!
I keep reading the transcript of that presser mate. And as much as I want to see it differently, Poch is saying openly imo (& any backtracking would make him look a bit stupid, which he isn’t) that the next 5 years for this club can’t be like the last 5 years.
He needs the tools to compete with Klopp, Pep and whoever is in charge at the chavs and the scum.
Put those two things together.
I think his words were quite strong indication that he has to be allowed to do things differently and to my mind that can only mean money because he seems to have an otherwise pretty free reign at the Lane & rightly so.
I think it's hilarious that people assume that the only way Pochettino can speak to Levy is via press conferences....I'm sure he has his phone number...unless Levy has got one of those £1.50 a minute premium numbers, and Poch is too tight to call him....

Hhmmm........It's so blatant Poch is telling the chairman he wants to be heavily backed in the transfer window why does anyone refute this?

MP: "But because I know very well how this business works and we know very well that we need to operate in a different way - that doesn't mean to spend more or less money - when I say operate, it’s not only to say spend money or sell players or buy players.
"To operate differently is to be transparent and way ‘that is what we want’ for the next year, for the next five years, for the next ten years. And start to work hard."
What do you think these words actually mean?
Tottenham will now enjoy a higher than ever revenue stream, well technically we already are as Wembley pushed up matchday by 50%. EVERY form of revenue have increased from TV, commercial, match day etc.. as a result Tottenham will spend. How that revenue is divided up we don't know but on the player side of the business, it will be split between increase on wages and new players (probably those new players in a higher bracket of wages too??).
So much of the clubs resources have been channelled into the stadium, taken away from their day to day jobs aligned to making the club function, these resources can now be reappropriated back to their day to day roles. This is just a small example of us as a club having to do things differently than those we compete with, NO OTHER CLUB WAS BUILDING A STADIUM, all their resources were focused on delivering a team to play football at the weekend. We can now do the same.
We are now in a period where all this changes, where staff get to focus 100% on the jobs they were originally employed to and we employ a ton of new staff to bolster depleted numbers (eg Marketing dept). Just think of the role that Darren Baldwin (in charge of out pitches at stadium and Hotspur Way) has had to do, he's had to dedicate his time towards creating the world first sliding retractable pitch, that alone has taken him all around the world, then digging up pitches at the training centre to create tests, then setting up the pitch in the new stadium....Oh and by the way just create & landscape a garden for the new Lodge complex whilst you are at it. This type of thing has impacted almost everyone job at the club.
I'm going to stop here because this could go on and on for pages but we are in a very different place than where we were 2yrs ago, as a consequence we need a new plan. What got us here was a plan. Only a fucking idiot would assume that there isn't a new one (probably already well on its way).
He gets paid by the word, disagrees are worthless...Just press the disagree button mate the essay is so long winded.
Just keep ignoring what he actually says, then it wouldn't be so utterly tedious.Just press the disagree button mate the essay is so long winded.
I agree completely but I don't see that as an issue for Poch or the club. There's a recognition that we have almost gone as far as we can without a few key additions to move us closer to the top 2 clubs.I keep reading the transcript of that presser mate. And as much as I want to see it differently, Poch is saying openly imo (& any backtracking would make him look a bit stupid, which he isn’t) that the next 5 years for this club can’t be like the last 5 years.

What do you think this means? Please explainJust keep ignoring what he actually says, then it would be so utterly tedious.
Its also due to the fact the club is run completely differently these days to say under Redknapp where we might get tasty bits of info thrown at us. The club do not tap up players publically, advertise transfer funds available. It's all done quietly but it leaves some fans with nothing else to think about.I think it's hilarious that people assume that the only way Pochettino can speak to Levy is via press conferences....I'm sure he has his phone number...unless Levy has got one of those £1.50 a minute premium numbers, and Poch is too tight to call him....
