He is a cunt. But he's our cunt. Poch is his last chance for me but I agree with him getting rid of AVB. The atmosphere at the lane was damning after Bale left.
Lev loves to gamble. Poch is still a gamble because he's young...Roll the dice Lev! Gambling sweats ahoy!
The last day of transfer periods were Lev heaven in the past. Recently he's been a bit more sensible. It will be interesting to see how it pans out but he seems to be learning from his mistakes, albeit very slowly by giving football men like Baldini more of a say. I'm still not sure how effective a board, manager and baldini roundtable is when it comes to signing players, but us getting a left back early on and a CB seems to be a nudge in the right direction.
At least it's Goal reporting it. They usually have decent connections to Spurs.
When does the window close?
Not soon enough! I believe 9/1.
9th January? :capouestare:
I honestly think it's working. Levy is adjusting to football chairman-ing and is still learning the differences between club and business. On the business side of things we will never have a better man to watch over the budget. Footballing terms he is still learning.
I don't necessarily disagree, but I think where mine and others frustration comes with Levy is that it has been 13 years now. If he hasn't learned yet, will he ever? Still, my opinion with him is I'd rather have the devil I know. He's very strong in some aspects but also has glaring weaknesses. In that respect, he pretty much perfectly encapsulates Spurs.
Oh I agree he`s great on the business side of things. Unfortunately as a supporter my interest leans more towards the football side of things. And having this super shrewd business fellow at the helm means we never seem to be prepared to go the extra yard, take the extra gamble, push the boat out just that little bit further to push on and achieve things. So long as the business looks good, just on the periphery of the big boys seems good enough for Mr Levy.
I'm sure Wimbledon Leeds and Portsmouth fans would have agreed with you prior.
I think he believes he has found his man in Baldini, who's yet to prove his worth. A season and half a window doesn't show enough yet. He's sieving through managers to get to the right one, lets hope it's Potch. He's making large steps in the last couple of years to improve his weaknesses.
Here's something (ITK) for you, then:
[Update 108] Grey Fox says Club Confident
Been told the club are confident that MS will become a Spur, but may have to wait until the start of the season to save the face of the Southampton chair "they will both be here at the start of the season" comment. CB is complicated but expect a 1st teamer in by end of window and expecting Verts to sign on the dotted line early next week. Other targets such as Jay Rod and H Moreno will probably have to wait until January. A number of loans lined up for outgoings and at least one midfielder and one defender to be sold.
Still a slow day, may need some more
Just looking at the landscape this is pretty much the same conclusion I'd arrive at just by looking at news stories and using common sense. That would be a very strong and intelligent summer window for us. It would certainly indicate a more mature and well thought out transfer season than we normally engage in.
