There’s no way on this earth that poch didn’t want new top pro signings for the team! He was promised a rebuild and it didn’t happen! Levy was offering him lower quality players that were no better than what he had at his disposal! So many lies! What a joke. 🤷♂️
There’s a huge disconnect between the fan expectation, led by ticket price and a world beating stadium vs mediocre investment into potential, not worldies. That’s the crux of it in my view as a season ticket holder.
Jose wins before Spurs, wins nothing at Spurs, wins at his next job. Conte wins before Spurs, wins nothing at Spurs, wins at his next job. Yeah right, it's the managers and not the owners. The idea that Poch didn't want to sign any players is total BS, and who told him that?... Steve "I hate transfer windows"Hitchen. The club is rotten to the core and it all starts with Jordans mate and MOT Levy
£2.5B club rotten to the core , you should have seen it under Sugar then. Tottenham are the sixth biggest club in the Premier league and we finish roughly around six. What is it you are expecting?
@@adammohamed.. When you're the sixth-biggest club, an actual title challenge should've happened at least a few times. You've certainly had the managers to make that happen but they've all fallen well short.
Jose and Conte have won nothing since leaving Spurs and both have had to take backwards moves to get a job. The Papa John's Cup (Europey Conference) is not a real trophy.
Levys been paying this lads bills the last 20 years what else was he supposed to say - Levy does spend money on players but what he does more is spend money on bang average players
Spends money on players with sell on value on very low wages untill he leaves the club tottenham will b tottenham.He says he supports the club but will not put a penny of his own money in it, jack walker best chairman in history spent the money 2 c his boyhood club win the pl with Daniel greedy greed has no boundaries
Levy has spent money but his constant negotiating for a better deal has meant that he has missed out on key signings because he was trying to save a million or two here or there. He can't see the big picture.
Exactly this. Add to it that the club cannot handle multiple negotiations due to need of Levy signing off. Even when he has hired those to handle the football side. I am referring tor contracts, and transfers in and out.
@@MrCrashturner For Levy, it's all about the negotiations. It's as though he sees it as a game of oneupmanship with the other club and he wants to come away from the negotiations feeling that he's won rather than doing what's best for the club. For example, he dragged out the sale of Berbatov for so long that the club was left with very little time to find a replacement. He can't see the big picture.
@@paulhatton95646 goals in 15 matches, not exactly pulling up trees, he should be doing better for 60 million, as for Richarlison the guy is stealing a living as a footballer
Levy only spent the money when the squad is a mess, we have no prestige to attract top players and left with average players for top prices. He needed to spent at all windows, not only when we are in a mess.
If you don't pay the wages then you will not ever sign top drawer and if you look at City that won the treble, the pay the money and sign top drawer. Also playing twice a week if in the EU cups you will need a serious in depth Quality squad.
I think Man C is an exception.they got unlimited cash flow and they bought the right managers first and good players drawn to them.they paid well for the top managers then.for us, we focussed on spending players and keep changing managers.obviously this is a virtuous cycle
Why would Bastoni go from a winning team to a mid top 6 one ? Spurs fans are entitled but their team is not even all that neither is their club. Aston Villa are a bigger club.
No one got Bastoni, he is still rocking it at Inter. This is not fifa or fm, transfer are not easy. And if Bastoni would change club he would prob pick a top 5 club in Europe. We are unfortunately not there yet. Coys
Great comment by Simon at the end. I think Pleat is an old school manager who was never particularly great at Spurs and is a Levy fan. Conte was spot on, the reason Spurs have not won anything is because their mentality is wrong. Take Maddison, he should think I am going to fight for my place but instead people talk as if he should walk in the team. Every player should fight for their place not think they have made it playing for Spurs
yep lovely guy with great ideas about the game but never gonna sit at the top table an disagree on chelsea completely...nice going forward but cant defend.
A stat actually came out the other day that proved our point as spurs fans, we are 16th in the league for investment from owners. Thats our point. We have MORE money and the owners have never invested theirs to our club like they could. I rest my case here
Conte 2nd season is directly linked to 2 players drop in form : 1 . SON going from 23 goal golden boot winner to only 11 goals (3 of which he scored in one match before December) 2 . Kulusevski going totally missing after Xmas .. he did have a good cross in Conte’s last game but other than that you can’t find much.
Thanks Jim, definitely buy David's book, not difficult to say David, Spurs miles away from winning a trophy, not about spending money but how spend, Levy responsible for managers hired and players signed, simple as, Ange in a wee world of his own.
@@Masterful100 Cut the bullshit out man! We are the biggest WASTERS what planet are you on? Yes Im sure Jose & Conte wanted Doherty, Rodon, Lenglet, Danjuma, Bergwijn, Vinicius etc!!!

This lie keeps going that Tottenham didn’t spend for one whole year after the cl final. It was the year before that. After that final, they did buy players.
Levy is the only consistent problem spurs have .... Wouldn't pay for Raya , we get vicario , wouldn't pay for Diaz , we get Johnson , it has been like that for us ever since he's been there , countless times going for the temu option , always going for other clubs 2nd or 3rd options .... The greatest example was when poch worked miracles and built a top side on very little money we won the lottery with those players as in paying relatively small fees for players that become top players , that squad there was our chance , it was our golden ticket to Cement our place in regularly challenging , all we had to do was take that last step and invest with more quality each year like the big clubs do , get rid of a couple , freshen it up with a couple .... We had waited forever to finally be in that position and what did levy do when poch was begging him for a rebuild ? He sacked him and then let our squad rot for three years , completely undone everything and now we're back where we were again , trying to nick forth for a successful season .... These pundits make you laugh , he is with out doubt your biggest problem
@@dannybruns2196 so (I agree) you say our best squad under Levy we got through cheap unknown players who became really good for us?

@ well there is a debate as I disagree haha. I honestly don’t know what players/signings you refer to, other than our “links” over the years with like luis Suarez, Bruno Fernandes, recently Eze and Ivan toney…what is this long list of players we “should have signed” 🤷🏻♂️ hindsight is a great thing but a lot of our big money signings were players with big reputations or at least talk of being the next big thing, like lamela, Soldado, ndombele, lo celso, etc big money spent and wasted. But again you overlook the good signings like carrick, Defoe, Keane, Modric, bale, berbatov, van der vaart list goes on. And you say it happens once in a blue moon…just look at city.. had you really heard of Rodri before he went there? De Bruyne everyone laughed at them paying 50mil. Bernardo silva, David silva, Kompany, new guy savinho…I mean they were hardly everyone’s number 1 targets you bang on about? But they did spend £100mil on Jack Grealish …who now has hardly started a game for city this season 😬 Again I don’t know who you think we can realistically go for in the market that we haven’t done already and get? Please don’t say Eze this summer…injured again for palace and hardly pulling up trees when he has played but some spurs fans are obsessed with us buying the “flavour of the month” player and moan when we don’t. Sorry I just don’t get it.
@@jackwelford417 we pay well over the odds for average players because levy will not pay big wages , it's been the case since he took over , ex players tell story's all the time of how hard it is too get anything from him and if we do bring someone in who turns out to fulfil Thier potential we sell them and they go on to win things somewhere else .... Also we don't buy on reputation , we buy our players on potential , when was the last time we bought someone on pure reputation ? Someone who is a known top talent ? We don't and the reason we don't os because he won't pay a big wages because of this famous wage structure we have , it's a fact 🤷😂 were run as a corporation not a football club , you just don't get it no ? well try and get this , we've won a league cup in the 23 years he's been chairman !!!! 😂😂....tells you everything you need to know , still we've got the best training ground and stadium ! whens the last time a stadium won a trophy ? It's people like you that say he spends the money , yeah he does spend money he spends it on above average players and because he doesn't have to pay the big wages it ends up saving millions
@@jackwelford417 also listen to all those players you listed not one with a proven big name reputation , all potential , so he buys them at inflated prices but doesn't have to pay big wages , lamela , soldado , noumbele , lo celso all players that never fulfilled anything like the potential thrown at them .... Then look at the decent signings , Carrick , berbatov , bale , modric , etc all moved on to win things because we never it enough quality round them .... Who was the last top quality player we brought in with proven top class quality ? Also all these players you listed with great potential , how come no top clubs came in for them ? Out of all those decent players how many went on to win things elsewhere ? 27 explayers have gone on to win trophies at other clubs since our 2008 cup win 😂😂😂😂 do you think that's just coincidence !! Yeah levy has done a amazing job , a league cup in nearly 24 years , leave off mate
@ yeah, hence I said “barely any”, you’ve managed to give 8 over a 12-13 year period, 2 of which weren’t good signings at all and another of which was good for 1 season, so 5.
Like Carragher said, they should've spent more when they were competing for the title as that might not come around ever again. Now they are in a rebuild phase and it will take some time for them to become challengers again.
My mindset is that you should always have 2 for every position. However, with Spurs, we always get or go after players who can also play other positions. Take the midfield for example. We need a 6, but we have players who can play 6 but are 8s. We bought Gray who is supposedly the 6 we're looking for. Yet he is another who can also play another role. In this case, a right back and the 8. Due to all of this, we have a depleted squad when we get hit by injuries, which is what you are seeing. Romero and Van de Ven are out. So Dragusin and Davies will be the starting centre backs. Again, we see a LB in Davies, who can play at CB, now slot in.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The Spanish manager came from the youth set up. I think people are doing what they usually do when a new manager comes in and that's get put under a euphoric state. Personally I can't see it working out with Tuchel, I think we will go back to making at the most a Quarter final, but, if we do win then it will go down as a Anglo/German win not just an England win. This is international football where the nationality is a key part of the presentation, so the manager being German will have a huge influence in what ever result there is. Personally, I think International football should be managed by a manager with the same nationality. Other wise the whole national component means nothing if not considerably less.
It’s very easy to allocate blame to managers, they didn’t perform, but with Tottenham managers are just scape goats. Maurinho and Conte have one thing in common, which they have in common with many managers, and that is that they didn’t win anything at Tottenham. Postecoglou has also won something at every club he’s managed and he’s 15 months into this job and the knives are out again. At some stage, reality needs to set in and the fingers need to be pointed in the direction of the common denominator, and not the endless string of highly successful managers that can’t get it right. Managers have changed, players have changed, staff has changed, and still, no silverware, but there is one thing that hasn’t changed and it’s abundantly clear where the problem lies. Tottenham is the third most profitable sports franchise in the world, and the most profitable football club in the world, which is clear evidence that it’s a very well operated business, which is what it’s all about for the owners, and to hell with the fans and silverware.
He has spent money but lowered the wage bill while doing it. That only works if you buy quantity, not quality. We need quality he's also backed a useless manager with good money but gave very little backing to proven top level winners like conte and Jose regardless of whether we liked their brand of football or not give them the right players they win.
We’ve brought lots of players including great ones we’ve sold great ones just when it looks like a trophy is just around the corner we are becoming the nearly club.we’ve lost out on players like Maddison when at Norwich grealish villa the list goes on we’ve got through far to many managers.changing owners won’t guarantee success unless it’s a sugar daddy
Spurs overspend on average players because they are saving on wages. Hire big name managers unable to produce goods with resources provided to appease fans. They do the bare minimum to keep the simpletons in the stands from becoming disgruntled completely. Trying to turn the club more into the American model of sports entertainment instead of proper successful team. From day one ENIC we’re very clear they are not football people but investors looking to make money from the club. Alan Sugar hated his experience in football and sold the club on to people he knew didn’t give a monkey about the team becoming successful. That’s the reality
In my 60yrs of supporting spurs, Pleat had one of the best 3 spurs teams I’ve seen. Good manager, so well educated about English football, had a great eye for potential talent. Nice to see him looking well at almost 80yrs old.
There is such a thing called organisational culture. Sir Richard Branson wrote his book about it and how hard it is to change. It is certainly feasible that Spurs have a problem of culture within the club. Things like the way their fans behaved last season in relation to the Tottenham v Man City game bear this out. You could argue the fans do not make up the clubs culture, but Ange specifically stated that there were "people within the club" who held similar views. That is reprehensible and he probably should have walked then.
I hope that England's second World Cup win comes at the leadership of a German manager. Since there seems to be a large bias against people of German descent in your country
Spurs fans, you are spurs you don't deserve success. Levi has dragged you up from a mid table club to a club who's challenged for the league and been in a champions league final in the last decade. I get your frustration with not winning anything but honestly you guys don't have a winning history or culture.
@@HarryNorbert come on guys, the whole time i've been alive you guys have won 2 trophies, Leicester have won the league and fa cup in the last decade. Man United have been awful for a decade and won more trophies than you guys have in 50 years, you guys have won the top league twice and it was before England won the world cup, sporadic wins across decades is not a culture of winning.
100% Levy is doing wonders at Tottenham... Spursy fans are just ungrateful, they got a new £1billion stadium, Levy bought Tottenham from Lord Sugar for around £100m... The club is probs worth /valued at around £2b Show some respect Spursy fans
Why should anyone care what the club is valued at? Yes they got a new stadium that increased ticket prices. He didn't build the stadium to save the manatee. He's filling his pockets with that money. Football is about winning not stadiums or club value. They're 10th in revenue and 20th in wages.
@@russellward4624 football is about what the owners decided it’s about. And increase evaluation. Tells you a hell of a lot. The club has progressed. The only thing we haven’t done recently is when the Mickey Mouse cup that brings nothing of value & people forget about it within six months. Just ask Ramos , if you even remember him.

the players bought aren’t quality because of the wages and the is the fault of the owner 65 mil solnake 50 million brennan lol
We spent 120M the summer after the CL final, it was the previous year we didn't spend money, Jim got his timing mixed up.
Quite right. Levy’s problem is who he hires to make recruitment decisions, etc. we’ve had barely any decent signings since Comoli left.
Lol what? We signed alli, vertonghen, lloris, alderweireld, dembele, dier, trippier, son in the space of a few years post comoli
@ yeah, hence I said “barely any”, you’ve managed to give 8 over a 12-13 year period, 2 of which weren’t good signings at all and another of which was good for 1 season, so 5.
It’s who they are mate, win well and lose badly, Spursy 😂
Like Carragher said, they should've spent more when they were competing for the title as that might not come around ever again. Now they are in a rebuild phase and it will take some time for them to become challengers again.
My mindset is that you should always have 2 for every position. However, with Spurs, we always get or go after players who can also play other positions. Take the midfield for example. We need a 6, but we have players who can play 6 but are 8s. We bought Gray who is supposedly the 6 we're looking for. Yet he is another who can also play another role. In this case, a right back and the 8. Due to all of this, we have a depleted squad when we get hit by injuries, which is what you are seeing. Romero and Van de Ven are out. So Dragusin and Davies will be the starting centre backs. Again, we see a LB in Davies, who can play at CB, now slot in.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don't believe Poch didn't want additional players.
The Spanish manager came from the youth set up. I think people are doing what they usually do when a new manager comes in and that's get put under a euphoric state. Personally I can't see it working out with Tuchel, I think we will go back to making at the most a Quarter final, but, if we do win then it will go down as a Anglo/German win not just an England win. This is international football where the nationality is a key part of the presentation, so the manager being German will have a huge influence in what ever result there is. Personally, I think International football should be managed by a manager with the same nationality. Other wise the whole national component means nothing if not considerably less.
Saying English managers are better in the media 😅😅😅😅😅😅
bang on about cheapening the cap - its a disgrace to our national heritage
SOUTHGATE picked his favourites all the time why did Gordon not get any minutes in the euros!!
It’s very easy to allocate blame to managers, they didn’t perform, but with Tottenham managers are just scape goats. Maurinho and Conte have one thing in common, which they have in common with many managers, and that is that they didn’t win anything at Tottenham. Postecoglou has also won something at every club he’s managed and he’s 15 months into this job and the knives are out again. At some stage, reality needs to set in and the fingers need to be pointed in the direction of the common denominator, and not the endless string of highly successful managers that can’t get it right. Managers have changed, players have changed, staff has changed, and still, no silverware, but there is one thing that hasn’t changed and it’s abundantly clear where the problem lies. Tottenham is the third most profitable sports franchise in the world, and the most profitable football club in the world, which is clear evidence that it’s a very well operated business, which is what it’s all about for the owners, and to hell with the fans and silverware.
Utd got Bruno Fernandez we got Gedson Fernandez!
David Pleat is definitely old school.
The teams above Tottenham, for the most part, have better squads. It's not rocket science. Postecoglou is not a miracle worker.
He’s not a good manager either
Good to see Grandpa Munster is still doing well
He’s spent loads, just spent it on dross 😂😂
He has spent money but lowered the wage bill while doing it. That only works if you buy quantity, not quality. We need quality he's also backed a useless manager with good money but gave very little backing to proven top level winners like conte and Jose regardless of whether we liked their brand of football or not give them the right players they win.
We’ve brought lots of players including great ones we’ve sold great ones just when it looks like a trophy is just around the corner we are becoming the nearly club.we’ve lost out on players like Maddison when at Norwich grealish villa the list goes on we’ve got through far to many managers.changing owners won’t guarantee success unless it’s a sugar daddy
Sonny really needs to move to another club asap, hopefully Man United
Luton legend
Spurs overspend on average players because they are saving on wages. Hire big name managers unable to produce goods with resources provided to appease fans. They do the bare minimum to keep the simpletons in the stands from becoming disgruntled completely. Trying to turn the club more into the American model of sports entertainment instead of proper successful team. From day one ENIC we’re very clear they are not football people but investors looking to make money from the club. Alan Sugar hated his experience in football and sold the club on to people he knew didn’t give a monkey about the team becoming successful. That’s the reality
Who is this puppet? Exactly what's wrong 😢
England too many club games
Mighty Elite Simon = Top LAD Proper Clobber 💯 Facts
In my 60yrs of supporting spurs, Pleat had one of the best 3 spurs teams I’ve seen. Good manager, so well educated about English football, had a great eye for potential talent. Nice to see him looking well at almost 80yrs old.
Nice man, honest. He could probably manage Spurs now tbh.
Simon Jordan : “ Every part of the PL is foreign “ , but the English still boast , “ The EPL is the best in the world “ .
The EPL will always be in England, that’s what makes it English, nothing to do where the owners are from ya dimbo
Those two things aren’t exclusive? They can both be true. Don’t really understand your gripe.
@@DNOPLAYSGAMES must be Andy Murray....scottish anyway
Well, its played IN England infront of ENGLISH Fans watching ENGLISH CLubs - so yes it is the EPL.
@ so how do we gauge it as “ the best in the world “?
Von too tree haha 🧛♂️
There is such a thing called organisational culture. Sir Richard Branson wrote his book about it and how hard it is to change. It is certainly feasible that Spurs have a problem of culture within the club. Things like the way their fans behaved last season in relation to the Tottenham v Man City game bear this out. You could argue the fans do not make up the clubs culture, but Ange specifically stated that there were "people within the club" who held similar views. That is reprehensible and he probably should have walked then.
Zzzzzz
I am sick of Spurs fans moaning about them not winning anything. Do you hear Charlton or Sheffield Wednesday fans doing the same?
It should be hugely embarrassing for the England team , not to have an English manager , what did the previous foreign coaches win with England ?
if england win the world cup no one will care
I hope that England's second World Cup win comes at the leadership of a German manager. Since there seems to be a large bias against people of German descent in your country
The refs in PL ARE english - and there you have your problem = Not good enough
Spurs fans, you are spurs you don't deserve success. Levi has dragged you up from a mid table club to a club who's challenged for the league and been in a champions league final in the last decade. I get your frustration with not winning anything but honestly you guys don't have a winning history or culture.
Spurs are one of the most successful clubs in English football
Are u serious spurs have won 26 trophies including two leagues 3 European cups 8 fa cups ..you actually no nothing about spurs
We were very successful before the Levy era! Just use Wikipedia before you make yourself look more of a c**t than you already are!
Does his book include the times he got caught picking up hooker's?
@@HarryNorbert come on guys, the whole time i've been alive you guys have won 2 trophies, Leicester have won the league and fa cup in the last decade. Man United have been awful for a decade and won more trophies than you guys have in 50 years, you guys have won the top league twice and it was before England won the world cup, sporadic wins across decades is not a culture of winning.
100% Levy is doing wonders at Tottenham... Spursy fans are just ungrateful, they got a new £1billion stadium, Levy bought Tottenham from Lord Sugar for around £100m... The club is probs worth /valued at around £2b
Show some respect Spursy fans
I read this comment and thought jesus this guy is deluded. I then looked at your pp and it all makes sense
Why should anyone care what the club is valued at? Yes they got a new stadium that increased ticket prices. He didn't build the stadium to save the manatee. He's filling his pockets with that money. Football is about winning not stadiums or club value. They're 10th in revenue and 20th in wages.
I read this comment and thought wow this guy is deluded. Then I seen your pp and it all made sense.
Bottleteta forever
@@russellward4624 football is about what the owners decided it’s about. And increase evaluation. Tells you a hell of a lot. The club has progressed. The only thing we haven’t done recently is when the Mickey Mouse cup that brings nothing of value & people forget about it within six months. Just ask Ramos , if you even remember him.
