Maybe. But let's not for get that just not long ago, there was this narrative that these 2 overstepping each other, and that Kane looked past it, so it's better for Tottenham to sell him, and rebuild around Son.
It's hilarious how you imply Levy is any different to the "impatient" type of chairman/owner.
There was never a narrative that they were overstepping each other, and Kane "looked" passed it because of his injury.
Spurs fans coming with all this shit after topping the league for 2 weeks. When you read their shit you think they already won the treble and the toxic one is already a legend. Stupid club with deluded fans.
Solid post. Bang on the money.
Or maybe he's just left alone to do what he does best without the shackles of "you must field 3 youth academy players and play wingers because that's how we used to zing under Fergie"
Spurs can win the treble, we still would credit Poch, the ref, the God of football, everyone but Jose Mourinho
Then a year or so later goes to Arsenal, rinse and repeat.
It always makes me laugh how he manages to swindle the fans with his charm when the good times are rolling. He tries to suppress his true urges but they break through the surface eventually.
It does help if they give in to a control freak though. The moment they don't...it's under the bus.
Well we give Pogba and Martial all the love we can, arms around the shoulder and all that. You don't want to run? Dont run, you don't want to be told to track back? then don't. Just go out there and enjoy la
That's so inaccurate it's laughable
You think Solksjaer instills fear into anyone?That's so inaccurate it's laughable
What?? Posters were actually saying to sell Kane? Like a large portion? Not just a couple of nutters?
We actually started very well in Poch's final full season (I assume you mean the CL final season). I vaguely remember there being faint talk of a title challenge that season (we were 5 points off the top after 11 games) which clearly never materialised. Problem is we were getting worse and worse and by the time he left, I don't think we'd won an away game in a year or something like that.
And I don't even necessarily blame you guys either. Indeed, still early days. But then there's a chance they really are going to win trophies. We'll just see what happens, without being overconfident of certain success or certain failure.Funnily well said.Perhaps a couple of Spurs fans were saying we should sell when his value would be highest but they generally got shouted down pretty quickly.
The key to good management is to instill fear into your players? Emm! maybe in the 70s-90s. Respect and buying into your philosophy is the modern way. Nagelsman gets players doing what he asks. He looks as about as intimidating as a cub scout.
Thanks so much for your input. May I suggest not reading any Spurs threads such as this in future if it causes you such frustration. Merry Christmas.
A couple of utter nutters that got utterly destroyed by 99% of Spurs fans as soon as they said it.
Solis post and bang on the money without considering how long those coaches stayed at the club ? Jol lasted for 3 season , Redknapp lasted for 4 , Poch lasted for 5 season , i don't think there were any Chelsea coach who lasted more than 3 in the past 20 years. Jose Mourinho has the longest stint so far for Chelsea & so does Zidane with Real Madrid which might be his last season there.
You mean the urge to turn toxic when the team doesn't win and the players doesn't listen, yeah you need that urge if you are a winner ,not like certain norwegian serial loser smiling on tv whenever you guys lost.
Nobody cares about what Dele Alli is thinking or saying , he isn't influential enough in the dressing room to cause an uproar like your french virus, it's him who have to follow what Mourinho wants from him, not the other way around. We actually have a good club structure here , no players are allowed to have more power than the manager. He will get rid of Alli soon without any issue just like he got rid of Danny Rose and that's how a proper club should run , both Pep and Klopp can get rid whoever they don't want without anyone questioning or making drama out of it .I think Sir Alex wouldn't be as half as successful if he coached in this era , just look at the popularity of the players he has gotten rid of , i can imagine your board would turn their back on him, your fanbase would call him toxic and the media would hound him out for having beef with the likes Stam , Beckham , Nistelrooy and many more. It's why Mourinho keeps saying United has no structure since they put too much power on players especially those with high transfer fee/wage/popularity, it's business FC. Also why your club need a puppet who doesn't command respect nor having any credential as manager.
Hopefully you never get promoted
Great post that.
Levy has long nurtured a long-term plan for turning Spurs into an elite club. He's kept to that plan through thick and thin and has now implemented some of the major steps involved - e.g. construction of a world class stadium and construction of a world-class training centre. Funding all of this, to the tune of around £1 billion, has for many years involved sacrificing short-term investments in the squad.
But the initial point is, he's not patient with manager's even ones that were massively overachieving not long before that (or in Redknapp's case still overachieving at the point of dismissal).
It's next year that will be the traditional meltdown year.
Redknapp wasn't really fired for football reasons. In the last season, we were flying, much nearer the top of the table in Jan than we were to a 4th place finish. Then the England position came up, he believed in the media hype that he was the only possible candidate and that (and his court case for corruption) meant that he totally let his eyes off the job and started thinking, and even talking in public, like he was the England manager.
Dreadful way to approach games. Jose fecked up really badly today.
I lost track of how many times he did that with us, it was horrendous to watch.
I certainly would have been happier if we got a point against Crystal Palace at OT. Jose got a point. We didn't get any. We didn't drop two points. We dropped all three points.
It is slightly better than getting battered by them at home. To go with the defeat to them the season before.
I remember he did that against Bayern at home in a CL semi final when he was at Madrid. Of course he lost
Because Ole is so different? His tactics involve doing this from the beginning of the game! He’s set up to counter midtable teams.
I didnt see the match, just the highlights, but looks like Spurs should have won that game, they had incredible chances to go up 2-1 again but Guaita's saves were amazing
