  • Levy’s Reputation will be the death of us

    Levy’s Reputation will be the death of us

    A new manager through Tottenhams doors is imminent but what kind of manager can we expect?

    What kind of manager would be willing to degrade themselves?

    What kind of manager would turn a blind eye to the clubs lack of ambition on the pitch?

    Levy’s reputation in the football world has never been great but in the last five years he has achieved new lows.

    First he sacked a manager who took us to the champions league final and only fell short of a premier league title due to the clubs lack of support in the transfer market.

    Second, he fired one of the most successful managers in modern football a week before the cup final that would have ended Spurs trophy drought. A manager who had NEVER failed to win a trophy at a club before or since Spurs.

    Third, Levy shamelessly fires a man after only 17 games, despite being awarded manager of the month in his first month in charge. He was told he was no longer required simply because Levy thought he had a better option available.

    Fourth, we have another proven manager in top flight football fired after just 16 months because Levy doesn’t like to hear some hard truths about the clubs lack of ambition and weak mentality. Another manager that has moved on and continued his success.

    Despite boasting a state of the art 60,000 plus stadium, Levy’s actions have left us desperate and rejected by both managers and players around the world. After multiple rejections Levy was forced to appoint an unproven manager in top flight football and even made outrageous claims we had our Tottenham back. What Tottenham he is talking about I don’t know but it proved to be a gamble that seriously backfired. It has been such a disaster that this unproven manager is likely to go down in history as our worse manager ever. 

    Yet it is Levy who needs to stand up and be held accountable for this shambolic series of mistakes.

    When will Levy step down as chairman? When will we really get our Tottenham back?

    The lies and betrayals must end. Only with new club management can we restore our reputation in the world of football. Only then can we move forward and let the last 25 years be an important lesson. Whatever side projects a club ownership may want to peruse, football should always remain the priority at the club as ultimately that is the industry they are in. That is what the fans pay for, that is what the fans expect to get first and foremost.

    Daniel Levy is too stubborn to resign, he is going to need a push there’s no doubt about it but the board is clearly too weak and Levy’s grip too strong.

    That is why we need the protests organised by Change for Tottenham to mount the pressure on Tottenham’s hierarchy and let them know changes in the club are essential.

    Whether Levy likes it or not he has failed to deliver what Spurs fans want (what any fans want) and he will go down as one of the worst chairmen that English football has seen. Congrats!

    Time for change!

    Ange Postecoglou may be on course to become the worst Tottenham manager in our Premier League history, but has he not entertained us:)

    Sucked the life out of us more like lol

    Result: 1-0

    Match Report:

    With just a single win at Stamford Bridge in our last 40 attempts, of course the focus was never going to be on the result but rather the level of performance.

    Could Ange turn this team around? Are the players still behind Ange? Are the fans still backing Ange ball?

    Well as most would have predicted (no prizes there) it was another under par performance with a 1-0 defeat that perhaps deceives the eye. The difference in class was clear to see and at the end of the game a 1 nil defeat actually felt like a bit of a result for us!

    Looking at the lineup it was about as good as we could have hoped for in all fairness, with the only missing player worth noting being Kulusevski. Besides him this was Spurs at full strength, yet Spurs were nowhere near the levels of Chelsea. Chelsea are by no means the finished article right now and have been struggling for form themselves as of late, but top teams know how to grind out results. 

    The fact is the Tottenham players were doing their best, but too many of these players are just not in the same league as the top teams and that coupled with questionable tactics, means players are being found out week in week out. Until we have a chairman that is willing to invest in top class players we cannot expect any more of our team, this is what Levy has brought us to because he simply does not understand football and is more concerned about his spreadsheets and profit margins.

    Tottenham have been heading in the wrong direction for some time and it has to be said these problems started well before Ange Postecoglou came onto the scene. The problems were already visible when Mauricio Pochettino was at the club when the team was neglected for the new stadium build. It’s been a steady decline since and not even world class coaches like Mouruhno and Conte could stop the rot, so what chance does Ange have with no experience of top flight football?

    Fans may be distracted with the hope of glory in Europe this year and may feel Premier league results are irrelevant now with nothing to play for. This may be true but what is more important is this set of players discover their form and get some momentum going. Form is not something you can just turn on when you feel like it, it comes from putting a string of decent results together, gaining confidence and that feeling of invincibility. It is fair to say Spurs have not had this feeling for quite some time. Since Ange took over Spurs have won 36 of his 73 games in charge with just a 49 per cent win percentage.

    So, how bad is it?

    • It is Spurs’ most number of defeats in a single season since the 2008/09 season.
    • Spurs are on course to finish in our lowest Premier League place in history, which was previously set in the 1993/94 term when we ended up in 15th.
    • Spurs could also finish the season with our lowest ever points tally, which was previously set in the 1997/98 season, with just 44 points under Christian Gross.
    • It means that Postecoglou is on course to become the worst Tottenham manager in our Premier League history.

    Entertainment Value: 6 / 10

    Based on Chelsea’s performance as Spurs were crap.

    Standout Players: It is hard to pick out players at the moment, no player really deserves a special mention so I will have to give it to young Mikey Moore (un used Sub), nice to see him back in the squad 🙂

  • We must be sustainable says Levy

    Tottenham’s Daniel Levy preaches the same message again to the fans, which I am sure has gone down well 🙂

  • Tell us what you think Ange!

    An interview with Lilly White

    Spurs suffer another defeat in the Premier League, this time to Fulham raising more questions on the future of manager Ange Postecoglou.

    Our interviewer Lilly White puts some tough questions to Ange!

  • Another hamstring Ange!

    Spursy Toons: Hamstring Ange

    Tottenham Hotspur legends offer their availability to Ange following their 6-2 thrashing over AC Milan.

    But who will be the next man to fall on the merry go round?

  • Newcastle Inspiration

    Spursy Toons: Are you inspired Mr. Levy?

    Newcastle are the next team to end their Cup drought. When will Spurs break this dismal record?

  • All I care about is Kulusevski

  • Ange-Not a Clue!

    Spursy Toons: Ange & Levy, have we not suffered enough?

    Tottenham record there 15th Premier League defeat of the season under Ange Postecoglou.

    When will this farcical show come to a close?

  • Are we losing our identity ?

    Are we losing our identity ?

    Maybe I should be thanking Daniel Levy and Ange Postecoglou. 

    After so many defeats this season I’ve stopped counting and for the first time in my life I don’t feel anything after a loss. I no longer feel that anger, frustration or disappointment when the final whistle goes, I’m completely cured (well, almost:)

    True I can’t remember the last time I felt excitement in a game either, or the last time I could share the envision of this club. Is this what the club has come to? Has this club lost its identity? 

    Or has Enic created a new fan base that is no longer results based but instead focussed on sharing a football experience for tourists at premium rates?

    Are team selections now based on popularity rather than performances? Just how far down the list of priorities has the football results become?

    Many fans expressed their bewilderment on transfer day deadline as fans remained glued to their phones waiting for those announcements of much needed players to try salvage the season. Instead they were notified by Tottenham Hotspur of the announcement of a four day Beyonce concert this year. Not the kind of news you would expect to be announced on such an important day you would think, but that appears to be the new direction of this club.

    Maybe old skool fans like myself need to learn to change with the times and just enjoy the experience of being a Tottenham Hotspur fan and sleep peacefully knowing how fat the Spurs shareholders are all getting in this remodelled Tottenham envision. No, f@%k that!

    We have seen an increasing number of protests recently for “Levy Out”, I know I’m not the only one that is questioning the direction of this club! But this new global fan base may have given the club the power and freedom to completely ignore the loyal and long standing fan base that has helped build this club over the last 24 years under Enic.

    The fan base has changed in modern football, that is for sure, the big clubs (and Spurs) have been working on their global brands for many years now. With summer tours in Asia and round the world trips for a single friendly in Australia, Spurs are no exception to these marketing games and it seems just as much effort goes into the off season these days.

    In fact the global following is so involved now through social media we even see them online criticising other Spurs fans, if they dare to criticise the clubs methods or the managers style! But perhaps these people should check our club motto again.

    After all it’s the fans that should define a club’s identity and if we don’t live by our own motto, then what can we expect from the team and staff at Spurs?

    ‘To dare is to do’ does not mean stay quiet and it does not mean settle for second best, we didn’t win over 20 trophies because we were afraid to dare.

    Fans shouldn’t be afraid to question the club’s direction, nor should they be ridiculed for pointing out the simple facts of the team’s failures. It’s important the fans are not afraid to speak out, everyone at the club needs to be held accountable and if it’s time for change then so be it, ‘to dare is to do’. 

    The mentality at Spurs needs to change, the players have to demand better from themselves and the fans need to demand success from their club because that’s what it’s all about. 

    We need players on the pitch like the Roy Keanes of the world who are not afraid to criticise their own teammates when they are below par. And we need fans that are not afraid to confront their club and demand better, because if you want to be the best then you have to act like it, on and off the pitch. 

    If you think it’s ok to criticise our fans because they demand more from their club then you do not understand. I am guessing you took the blue pill.

    But for the rest of us we are wide awake and we see how it really is, this isn’t kindergarten soccer, it’s not about taking part, it’s about winning!

    We dare to criticise.

    We dare to change.

    We dare to dream.

    To dare is to do, don’t forget it!
