Gotcha...
What you've described there sounds fairly common for most teams tbh (subject to an obv. growth caveat)...
I pressume the hope/aim was for Poch to manage that 'rebuild'. However does the modern game even allow for such managerial longevity any more...?
Don't think anyone [correction: the vast majority] disagree with the outcomes. It's more what needs to change to achieve those same outcomes.as a group of fans I think we would have taken it on the chin... We know rebuilding is sometimes necessary and upsets things. I for one would be ok with a mid-table season if I felt we were moving in the right direction but it's the constant poor squad choices, formations and tactical nativity that is the concern...
I haven't seen anywhere that profits from the stadium will be re-invested into the Football Team.As much as we take the piss out of the NFL thing the stadium does allow us to buy players.
I wouldnt be suprised to see Fernandes here in January and the Ajax GK in summer.
I support Spurs and didn't realise that someone as gifted as you existed. Please could you call Daniel Levy and tell him you are available to coach the team to league and European cup success.Poch is clueless. That's it. He hasn't suddenly become clueless either, he always has been. I've said it for years. Somehow the team acheived despite it and he kept getting away with it. Now he is finally being found out.
Not sure it does unless the manager them-self is able to morph into different versions. Guardiola has know this for a while. Klopp learnt the lesson after 7 years. Modern, high profile managers have a shelf life which is why Ferguson is perceived as amazing because he would swap out key players when he thought they were getting complacent.Gotcha...

That is not just magic sauce. You need to have a big budget and an infrastructure to attract the right players to do that. We don't have that. Not the failure of Poch or Levy to implement in the same way.
But absolutely the fault of both not to recognise the inevitable. Poch more than Levy in my view but there's no clear lines here.

Wasn't a case of too well too soon under ENIC we have never been on a fast path it has always been a slow slog, part of the problem was not investing in the team for two windows that was a terrible oversight which has in part set us back.We did too well too soon. Victims of our own success.
I believe the infrastructure ENIC/Levy are building will benefit Spurs in the long run.
State of the art Stadium - check
State of the art facilities - check
Stadium used for NFL gives another source of income - check
Efforts to expand the brand globally - in progress
Gradually raising player wages - check
Spending more in the transfer market - signs of progress
Unless the team is bough by some Saudi prince, you have to gradually become a super club. it doesn't happen overnight and it doesn't happen without set backs.
Rob Peter to pay Paul. Unless you have unlimited millions.Wasn't a case of too well too soon under ENIC we have never been on a fast path it has always been a slow slog, part of the problem was not investing in the team for two windows that was a terrible oversight which has in part set us back.

Then in hindsight maybe we should of had a buffer to prevent this is wasn't like we didn't know it was coming.Rob Peter to pay Paul. Unless you have unlimited millions.

Have a good evening mate ochbye:Next level banter there..... Real grown up stuff.
Dick jokes and 'dissagrees' - What a scholar!

Doesn't sound like something Levy would do.
