Levy Should have...!

...so he went out and hired another Ramos. I guess it actually makes sense, in the way that a battered woman who picks a new man that also abuses her makes sense.
Our club is rotten, and Levy is the reason. We are so fucked.

The problem is the buck should now stops with him - the club's going backward, the stadium is years away (if built) and there is no connection between the team and the club. Add in the fact that the biggest spunk up the wall of £100 million last summer's transfer window and if this was any other business ( let's face it - that's what Spurs is these days ) the CEO - that's in effect you Danny Boy - would have gone by now.

TwanYid, I know you have a reputation for making nonsensical rants. But what in the bloody world has made you decide after 3/4 months that we have another Ramos. Surely you can't just write Poch off after a few months. What's the point in even hiring managers if our supporters can't even give them a few months.

Why do we constantly look at the finer details and not the bigger picture? We keep going missing in games and making silly mistakes and our defending seems woeful at times, but these are things that can be fixed over time. Lets take some pressure off and build something and actually try to finish it instead of deciding its no good and demolishing it all before its even half built.

I've never been anti-Levy, nor have I been a BSoDL, but I think this is a fair point. He deserves credit for the way he's handled the club's finances, and how we've developed our club into something bigger than what we were 10 years ago, but we're starting to look shakey now. We need a bit of stability, and perhaps his trigger happy nature is creating a shift in our fortunes and we may see ourselves plummet again as a result. If Poch is added to the list of 'former Spurs managers' then you've really got to question Levy's ability to judge what makes a good manager. Either Levy is constantly hiring the wrong type of manager, or he's firing them too early. Either way, he's responsible.

It's all speculative isn't it ? No-one really knows the ins & outs of the decisions made by Levy & THFC management. Did DeBoer talk himself out of the job by mouthing off to the press while we still had manager in place (if you could call him that) ? Was Poch 2nd choice, interview well & given DeBoer's public announcement of being courted suddenly find himself the outstanding candidate ?
The fact is Poch is now manager, we have to give him time. Time to move on the players whom don't fit his style of play, time to bring in players (Levy permitting, of course) that are more suitable to his tactics/preferred shape. We cannot keep half backing managers, then when they don't instantly succeed sack them. I'd like for us to give Poch 2 years, then see where we're at. There may be bumps (big ones) along the way but hopefully it'd be worth it in the end.

FFS OP - De Boer is not a magic bullet. There is NO magic bullet.
De Boer has done a good job at Ajax, but it is largely working with very young players coming through the revitalised Ajax system already schooled in playing the Ajax way. He's not had any experience of a job like ours with a disparate hotchpotch of egos and shirkers.
I feel people's pain, and their need to look for a panacea, but as long as the players here know they can shirk hard work and it will cost the manager his job and not them theirs we'll have the same cycle repeating itself. Poch needs time to reshape the squad, although whether our recruitment strategy allows this, who knows?

Agree. I'm not anti-Levy either but eventually, 500 managers/players later, all evidence might point to the fact that it is his lungs that are diseased and not the air around him.

If you think it is bad, if Poch gets the bullet this season, the eyes will only be looking in one (bald) direction.
There will be no hiding this time.
