I think he's happy because Levy will have been clear from the outset one hopes. Clear that we do things differently. We have to sell the Eriksens of the world to buy the Bergwijns. And I think that's something we all understand given the club's financial position.He adds in that he’s happy the club were trying to sign one. Think this ties in with the itk that he is happy. Although I doubt he’s happy he doesn’t have a new one, but I think it goes back to his time at Man U. I think the promises that were broken to him there he still carries with him. I know we don’t entirely know what goes on behind the scenes but he feels like he has the support of the chairman at spurs, which is obviously important to him. Let’s see how that is at the end of the summer but for now I believe he’s content.
Having said that, I find it hard to believe there wasn't a single striker in world football we could have signed as an option. Especially given Jose's reluctance to throw Parrott in. So in that respect, given our collective disappointment, I find it hard to believe it wouldn't have been taken negatively by Jose.
However it's the first few months and his patience is still full to the brim. Give it another window where a priority signing isn't achieved, and I think we might see him changing attitudes, and I would back Jose not Levy in such a scenario.
By sacking Poch and bringing in Jose, Levy has basically stated that he's not content with mediocrity and expects a CL finish at least. But he has to be prepared to face the expectations on his shoulders too, not just sit there demanding success because our stadium is pretty.
