Where do we go now?

[sidford]

So another terrible performance this season but this time in a final which coincidentally makes it 4 finals In a row were we have not scored.

The fact we played like that isn't exactly a surprise considering how we have played for the past 2 seasons.

What I'm thinking of now though is where do us fans go from here.
We have no manager after Levy's comical decision to appoint Jose after sacking the best manager in past 30 years.
We are now hated by fans of most teams in the premiership after the ESL debacle.
You can make an arguement that we had to agree to go into it but why couldn't Levy and the board see how disorganised and farcical the plan was?! That's unforgivable.
We have a broken squad with no connection between fans and players. People might say I'm going over the top here but how many of us fans actually feel a proper connection these days with the players? If any of them were sold, apart from Harry and IMO Hugo, would you actually care?
If we did sell some of them to raise funds do you actually have faith in the recruitment department to replace them with better players?

I read so many comments on here where people say they are numb to spurs, there is no attachment anymore, people miss matches who haven't done so for years,.hardly celebrate a goal etc.

I don't remember such a low ebb to the club and the owners. I genuinely think that a number us "legacy fans" are close to becoming so disillusioned with the club that they will stop paying extortionate money to spend their hard earned cash following spurs again.

The fact is a lot of this squad have scar tissue over not getting over the line, they look nervous and sketchy in these types of matches. The new blood in the last couple of years hasn’t been consistent or good enough.

Pochettino managed to convince a lot of pretty good players that they could take on the world and they played way above themselves, that together with some real quality players who’ve departed, has gone and we’re just left with a mixed bag of a squad that doesn’t really believe in itself.

Whoever comes in as the next manager has a massive job. Huge decisions to be made with loads of players futures up in the air and all hamstrung by Levy’s usual intransigence.

I used to reply ‘the pub’ but even that is complicated now.

 

[homer hotspur]

The championship?

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Easy. Nagelsmann comes in, gets a few new players, three players are sold, the squad starts putting together coherent team efforts again, fans are allowed back into the stadium again and we all start talking about how very magnificent it is and befitting our great club and by this time next year these two last seasons will be forgotten.

[King of Otters]

Destroy and rebuild.

 

[topper]

Super League?

 

[TPdYID]

To answer the question posed as the thread title...we go balls-deep for Nangelsmann and hope his charisma can rub off on a few players, which rubs off a few more...

The cloud hanging over the club, with constant talk of doom & gloom has made the environment and fan-base toxic. We need a man with a plan. Someone that's going to light a fire under the players feet and get the fans back onside. Siege mentality needed!

 

[daveduvet]

Cull the chaff. Restart from the ground up. We ain’t as big as we think we are - said with a heavy heart

 

[13VanDerBale13]

The same place we’ve been going the last few years, nowhere.

Nothing will change until we rebuild from top to bottom.

 

[Seafordian Spurs]

If money is yer main metric for guaranteeing success then we are where we probably deserve to be.

Poch, with some luck, had us over achieving.

Now the bar has been raised we expect to be able to make a tweak here and there to compete when the reality is that we need that painful rebuild.

And even then we'll be back to our place in the pecking order - a Europa-ish League team.

The medium to long term with, hopefully the extra revenue generated from the stadium, means we will be better at competing for and acquiring better quality players. It should be rosier...

...but Son and Kane will be gone by then. And the short term is going to be us suffering more pain.

That's the thing though mate i genuinely don't think that will actually happen regardless of whether Nagelsmann comes in.
Imo he won't join us when a bigger and better club is in for him so can't see him coming to us.
If he does we might get 1-2 players in but that's nowhere near enough.
I genuinely do feel that there is now such a big disconnect between the club and fans over all of what's happened with Enic in the past 10 years and especially since our 2 failed windows that Enic may get a very big surprise when fans are allowed back into the stadium. And also I think that if same players are here they might find that the atmosphere in the stadium will be a lot worse than normal.

 

[EastLondonYid]

Will look a million ,no zillion miles away from the side we had four years ago with Poch.
A total mess.
The only place we go from here is hopefully appointing the right new coach,and then us being patient as we rebuild ,
Really patient.....this will take years I'm afraid.

 

[double0]

Its very simple we need to move a lot of players on and start a fresh.

We have players that are mentally damaged Levy has to invest on better players otherwise with slip further back.

 

[rossdapep]

Nowhere fast under ENIC

 

[Bobby TwoShots]

To the pub

 

[wiggo24]

We need to get a new manager with a clear, progressive style of play.

We then need to support said manager when it looks like we might actually be making progress, rather than shitting it every time we look like we might be on the verge of actually competing.

If a Harry Kane lite could come through the youth academy again whilst that's all going on then that'd be very helpful.

Anything less and we will be here again in 2 years time after another season of mediocrity, getting excited about the next big young managerial name and wondering whether this time he might get backed. And repeat.

 

[cjbyid]

CL qualification ain't happening so hopefully no European football at all.

Need a season to rebuild with no distractions.

Easier said than done with spurs though.

 

[Lifelong]

Nowhere fast under ENIC

I fear you’re right...enough is enough, but who’s to take over....it’s definitely a gamble...
