Amazing how we went from there to where we are now in a matter of months. Just amazing.

Spending all Your dole money on the roulette machines doesn't count as working in a bookies even if you do occasionally go home with enough money to buy a happy meal from me on your way home.You work at McDonalds. If the bookies were normally wrong, you wouldn't need to flip burgers, you'd be making money off the bookies.

Did you ask for all this when Ramos and Redknapl were sacked?No I was told we have sacked the manager and given a wishy washy holding statement. That is expected as an immediate response.
What I would like, and what I think will benefit the supporters as a whole, is a little insight into exactly why the club changed their tune from ยดwe are investing in the future with a bright young manager and talented young players' (to paraphrase) to 'We expected immediate success from our transfer dealings and demand our manager makes us title challengers NOWยด'
All I'm seeing at the moment is lots of media speculation from 'sources.' Sure a lot of that is classic media bollocks but I don't doubt that there are a few people briefing from within both camps (spurs and avb)
De-listing from the stock exchange seemed like a decent bit of financial strategy at the time but it just seems to have made the decision makers even less accountable to their paying public.
Our PR department is becoming more and more closed off to the needs of the fans. For christ sake they aren't a government they are a football club. Why can't they just have a full and frank relationship with the fans instead of constantly sticking their fingers in their ears and batting us off with 2 paragraph soundbites on the official website.
If Levy isn't going to be forthcoming, then surely our so called director of football should be on hand to explain this rather important football decision no? Where is he? I don't recall hearing one peep from him in months. I don't want to go back to Redknapp style mouthing off to the press every 5 seconds, but truth be told I actually found his up front approach quite refreshing for the first year until it all became about him.

So? Redknapp went through a similar patch and nobody called for his sacking at that time. How do you know that the long term Ramos project wouldn't have gotten better, just like you're convinced the AVB one would've?i didnยดt need to for Ramos because we had 2 points from 8 games (sorry) and the new guy came in almost immediately.
So if this involved legal confidential issues, or a major issues behind the scenes in terms of relationships with people or how the club is run, you want all that plastered all over the place? If not then the alternative would be for a statement only from Levy, and how would you know whether or not it was truthful, or in anyway less patronising or pointless than the letter his posted on the official website when he sold Keane and Berbatov?When Harry was sacked, yes I would have liked to have known what exactly it was that made him push the button. I still do because it would solve a hell of a lot of the arguments that go on in here. Some people still believe he was sacked for football reasons and not because he fucked about with the England job and then had the audacity to have paul stretford come in and try to paly hard ball on a new contract.
But there I am speculating again. Because Levy has never truly explained what happened.

I don't. But my anger currently lies with levy and the board, and more specifically our comms policy right now. I don't want to make this about individual managers. And I'm not convinced AVB's project would have been the right one. But I am convinced that a drastic sacking like this right before christmas is a stupid move. Some might argue that it gives the new guy time to bring in signings in the transfer window. But it appears Levy doesn't want a Spurs manager concentrating on silly little things like choosing the right players to play in their own system. He did the same with Harry, Ramos and Jol a lot of the time.How do you know that the long term Ramos project wouldn't have gotten better, just like you're convinced the AVB one would've?

As we de-listed they'll be no AGM. Real shame as it's normally right about this time of year!
I still own some shares as didn't sell back, not sure what purpose they have now.
