To the left, to the left?I'll have you know that my cock points in the right direction.
No one is denying that mistakes haven't been made along the way, but over that whole time period you have covered, we have had a massive upwards trajectory. Previously it was only Aston Villa that were considered as challengers to the top 4. its now a top 6, because of Man City (oil money) and Us. We need to push on and continue on the path that we are on. As i have said, mistakes have been made, but the strides forward greatly outweigh them.
A lot of this is just impatience though. The club have appointed a DOF who knows how to build high level winning teams. A manager who knows how to coach them to win titles. Both have repeatedly said we need time and patience to build that side - adding 2-3 quality players per window.
They have both been here just over a year. In that time the club have consistently made signings. We have one of the biggest net spends in europe.
Yes we all want every single gap in the squad/team solved in one transfer window but that's just wholly unrealistic. The question you have to ask yourself is: is this squad better than the one Paratici inherited? The answer is yes every single time. We've strengthened midfield, wingback, added attacking depth, and a top quality defender in Romero.
A couple more windows and I don't think anyone can dispute that the squad will be in a really good position to challenge. This is how Arsenal did it and previously Liverpool. They are realistic, sustainable models that we have to follow. Forget about teams owned by nation states or Chelscum.
I can see the plan. We just need patience.
Reading a whole load of the comments under the Athletic’s article on the club’s response and it seems there’s loads of fans who are really happy with them. 75% I would say. I’m assuming they must be foreign based fans who don’t pay a fortune to go to games.
Foreign fan here ?Reading a whole load of the comments under the Athletic’s article on the club’s response and it seems there’s loads of fans who are really happy with them. 75% I would say. I’m assuming they must be foreign based fans who don’t pay a fortune to go to games.
We are the most patient fans in the league. As for Conte & paratici I get what you’re saying but they might both be gone in 6 months time.
This place isn't even close to representative of the wider fan base. There's always been a culture of shitting on ENIC/Levy on here that's far more venomous than you see elsewhere, even when things have been good. Look at the response on Reddit to this statement, it's almost the polar opposite of here.Reading a whole load of the comments under the Athletic’s article on the club’s response and it seems there’s loads of fans who are really happy with them. 75% I would say.

And it's nothing to do with the foreign vs season ticket split, I'm a season ticket holder and do not relate to about 90% of the complaints about our ownership on here tbh.
At least half the complaints are some variation of "Conte not been backed" or "we don't spend enough". I'm glad the club hasn't bothered to pander to people with those views tbh because I agree with them that that's just not true. Since the stadium opened we've spent the 5th most money in the league. We're one of the top 10 richest clubs in the world but so are 5 other PL teams, with another owned by an oil/gas state on top for good measure. I see a lot of people who are completely outraged here, I don't see any actually engaging on a factual level about what we've spent since the stadium opened and why they think it should be more, other than the fact that we don't have a title winning squad right now. But that's not how football or finances work, wanting a team at a certain level does not mean that you can or should just go out and spend what's required to get there.
I think there's plenty of valid criticisms of Levy and ENIC but I rarely see them actually made and they certainly haven't been made by the Trust in what they've put to the Board. And actually, of the criticism I have had, I think a lot has improved since Paratici came through the door.
Appreciate that some of this probably comes of as condescending or inflammatory but this place is a real echo chamber for anti-ENIC stuff at times and I suspect a lot of people are going to continue to be surprised at where the balance of opinion is in other Spurs communities.

It’s the same on every other forum as it is on here so I don’t think that’s accurate.
Not the same on the Athletic, not the same on Reddit (which is 3-4x bigger than here), not the same on large areas of Twitter.It’s the same on every other forum as it is on here so I don’t think that’s accurate.
No anti ENIC chanting where I sit in the stadium and very little booing at end of games when we lose, most of which seems to emanate from the south stand. Conte's first home game when boos greeted half time came mainly from south stand , season ticket holders around me were pretty disgusted at the so called fans.there are also loud ENIC and levy our chants at games now. You can't put this down to a loud minority on here. We're well past that point
Member since 2015 So your experience of 'always' is eight years and i'd argue that the first three or four years, if not longer, it wasn't anywhere near like this.This place isn't even close to representative of the wider fan base.

Going further back, SC was Levy-love central. Big time.
