Unless there was a mass boycott of games on a consistent basis, nothing will happen... Fans have no real influence on the outcome of their club despite being the heartbeat of it.
It's a pretty shit scenario to be in .
I just would love to be a fly on the wall today and to try and ascertain Levy's logic in not signing ANY striker...
Other seasons, I get it... Moutinho etc, they were almost a luxury.
But this one, boy this is a fuck up of epic proportions.
How any apologist can try defend his decision is baffling.

But that net profit though!
Seriously though, the first 2 months of this window were great - literally a 9/10 window. Now it's 2/10.
Can't believe we're in this situation now - think we'll struggle to finish top 10 this season. Poch will be out by the New Year and it won't even be his fault most likely.

Good point about trying to bully them into selling for less. How would re react if Madrid had offered 60m for Bale at the last minute instead of 85? We'd have to told them to shove it, and rightly so.
If this doesn't come back to bite us then we're very lucky.
No central midfielder either (no surprise) so what are we left with there, Mason (ok), Bentaleb (inconsistent and young but talented), Alli (young/unproven) and Dier (centre back). Great.
Why is it that we can never ever just have a good window with every position filled?

WBA released statement confirming Levy continued to try and get him on the cheap and this was communicated throughout. Utter shambles. We are now being outdone on ambition and net spend by the likes of West Bromwich fucking Albion.

Levy has pushed his tired routine for the last time in the PL, it's now awash with cash, I said as much in another thread. I'm pro Levy but this has put me on the fence.
At least his favourite game went well this year..
Southampton (again)
Lyon (again)
Now add WBA to the list.
It's truly pathetic.

So the squad reads:
GK - Lloris, Vorm
LB - Rose, Davies
RB - Walker, Trippier
CB - Toby, Jan, Dier, Wimmer, Fazio
CM - Mason, Bentaleb, Alli, Dembele, Carroll
LM - Chadli, NJie
RM - Son, Lamela, Townsend
AM - Eriksen, Pritchard
ST - Kane
Its like we decided to swap over the past couple of seasons, Im now very happy with our defence but not happy with CM or having just the one striker! Seriously what will we do if Kane gets injured? I cannot understand how professionals such as Levy, Poch and our scout that we signed, are so blind to this fact? I am a big Levy fan and think in 3 years time when the stadium is built he will get a lot of worthy praise, BUT leaving us with just one striker is pretty embarrassing and could be incredibly detrimential to his career.

That's their side, obviously. Player thinks differently, right?

They were passing on what they were told, by people in the know. Trouble is, the people at the top were over-confident.

I have never put one tread on here lads I'm gutted! ENIC are an investment company bought spurs for £120 million they have ploughed our money from Fans, gate receipts, merchandise sales, player sales and TV money. So they can invest our money in to a new training ground and a brand new stadium which could potentially make Spurs worth around a BILLION BIG ONES!!! They have no real reason to invest in the playing side of things as it's not about football for them just about PROFIT!!! There has been a backward step on the football field since the Champions league season. I have supported Spurs for 40 yrs and love my club but now you have to realise LEVY AND LEWIS DO NOT LOVE US!! No ambition what so ever left with one striker is what can I say laughable . It's our club without us they wouldn't have one it's time to stand up against this profit making organisation .. I love my club COYSThe lot of you who are moaning about Levy need to fucking man up and have the strength of your convictions. More than once there's been a massive fallout against chrome dome when the window closes and you all give it large for a day or so then vanish leaving just a handful of hardy souls battling the BSoDL in the Levy thread in Spurs Chat. So just for once, get in there and give it some. And keep giving it some. And then carry on some more. Nothing will change until its realised that more and more people are turning. 5m plus add ons? ****.
Ahhhhhhhhhh! I feel better now.
I didn't mean any of it really

This is just a farse. I dont know if it is the dissapointment that is speaking now, but the way the window ended I would take 8th this season if it got offered to me now. 1 striker? Dier, Bentaleb, Mason and Alli as our four midfield options? Look at that last sentence for a bit, think it over, and tell me that you are happy with that. I will be the first to say that I like all of them, and that I think all of them are talents, but if someone told me at the beginning of the summer that Dier would be a first Choice Central midfielder and that Kane would be our only striker when the transfer was shut I would not have believed it. In any other business Levy would have been sacked, I cannot remember to have witnessed mismanagement like this. I dont care about broken promises from WBA. Isnt that the same as happened last night with Lamela/Marseille? That happens and that is why we had around 100 days since the end of last summer to sort it out, and why we shouldnt have let all the eggs in one basket. I am so angry now. Nothing would make me more happy than Spurs to surprise me this year, but Pochettino should not be expected to achieve anything else than just above midtable.

I'm sorry but this lets all support levy and not make a big deal of it is actually ridiculous....I don't want to disrupt the club but hasn't levy just done that himself?
Are you all happy with sitting through this same shit every season? Do you not see a pattern?
Levy doesn't buy players we need >> Manager is not backed >> we don't finish 4th >>> manager is sacked >>> best players are sold >>> we are told we have learnt our lessons and things will be different >>>> repeat the cycle again.
Surely at some point we have to try and change things? We are basically enabling this.
