Yes, but they haven't won a Premier League title since Mourinho went to Chelsea for the first time. They had their invincible campaign during first Abramovich season.

Totally get where you're coming from as I've had a similar mindset in the past.
You know what though? There are so many sugar daddy's coming in now it's not the same as when Chelsea or City did it.
Even if QSI came in for example we will have to compete against City and Newcastle, plus Pool and Utd's new owners (likely to be the same type) and then Chelsea (If Boehly continues to spend like a mad man).
So actually all that would be happening is we are keeping up with the pace, rather than easily claiming a title with oil money as it used to be. The times have changed.

Chelsea took Brightons manager and head of recruitment. How's that working out for them. I'll stick with Paratici thanks.

You know Kroenke is the richest man in sport according to Forbes right?

I didn't hear it sung on Sunday but a few disgruntled voices after. One boy said he wasnt leaving the stadium and wanted to make a stand against levy but got fucked out lol. Heard some other fans saying they want Poch back...

Probably wouldn't matter IMO. Investors tend to have their own agenda and will act with the long-term in mind.
Hughes and Bruce were in charge at City and Newcastle respectively and were disposed of within a year (if that's anything to go by).
I think QSI replaced whoever was in charge at PSG with Ancelotti a month or so after buying them.
Then what do we call it if they win the League this season because they didn't just wake up and win it on a budget!? I mean they have been the biggest spenders over the last 3 transfer windows! Spending 278 million in this time.
Does it not constitute as 'buying' it because the money isn't 'oil' money?
The aim is always the same buy better players and win something, which applies to every club in the world. Regardless of where the money comes from!

And that’s why Levy will never really feel the fully wrath of the fans. They just blame whoever’s in the dugout.

Yeah, I would take Conte leaving as a sign that QSI are not investing. Otherwise I would expect Spurs to back Conte and push for Silverware this season rather than embarking on yet another long-term project

I don’t want Poch back, one reason behind this being I’m an absolute pochette and I know this will end with his relationship to the club in tatters. The sentimentality means he would be the ultimate human shield for Levy.
I do think he’s deluded and arrogant enough to appoint Tuchel instead though.

True, so they had more control.
That said, I don't think any particular individual would be a deal breaker as far as investment is concerned, especially not at the prices being talked about.
I expect that what appeals about Spurs to QSI is the infrastructure and potential revenues. Those are harder to put in place than a manager.

Unless you are Daniel Levy
No, well certainly not in the South Stand anyway.
Crowd were up for it Sunday initially, the way we were playing and the way we conceded soon put pay to that though.
Was expecting maybe some half time booing, but was real strange ending to the half, I thought and I am sure many others did, thought we had been awarded a penalty, and were cheering that, next thing players were walking off for half time, couldn’t work out what was going on.
Afterwards when leaving didn’t hear any ENIC out, but did hear a few Getting Sacked in the morning chants.
Thursday will probably be a mixture of both of them if it goes south

I think Pochettino is nailed on TBH. Given our next few games, It wouldn't surprise me if it's as soon as next month, if not sooner.
And despite what people say, Pochettino will be (quite rightly) given a really warm reception and it will quieten the protests. In the summer we'll make a couple of signings, people will settle themselves into a "lets wait and see" mentality and it'll buy Levy 12-18 months before the bouncing rubber penny drops once again and we're where we are now again.
It is also possible that in the summer, Levy goes to circus school and learns how to walk on stilts, comes back, puts on a syrup and we announce a new chairman who's 6ft 4" tall and looks like a cross between Catweazle and Jon Bon Jovi. And the disciples of the bouncing penny will fall for it.
TLDR; We need to wise up by not letting up on him. This should not go away again. Not again. If it does then stop fucking complaining, give Levy a great big aubergine and bend over.

That may be so; but the difference in spending between us and them over the time they have owned Arsenal could easily have been matched by Levy and Spurs based on our income alone. It's about 20m per season over 5 years.
We could have been in their position without needing to financially dope ourselves. That’s what I really don’t get about ENIC at this point. The whole idea of the stadium was to allow us to compete without sugar daddy investors and now we have it we're doing it anyway, what’s that about.
I'm just thinking aloud there.

PLEASE
That's what they sold it as, whereas it was really about doing a massive property / infrastructure deal which netted them billions.

Yeah I think you're right, these reports back it up.
Tottenham owner Joe Lewis would like to sell his entire stake in the club as he ‘seeks an exit strategy’ after 23 years in control. The ultimatum would reportedly make it unlikely that Qatar Sports Investment (QSI) will pick up any share in the north London side as they would be restricted to a minority stake under UEFA laws given their ownership of PSG.
