Does it not thrill and delight the very bones of every Tottenham supporter to see what is happening at the club ?.
We don't have a manager who says "Give me a zillion pounds and I'll win you the Premiership next season"...we neither have a Chairman In Daniel Levy who will allow us to commit financial suicide in both the transfer market and the hard core business investment plans that a new stadium demands.
This is no "instant fix" set up but an infrastructure which is slowly and methodically creating something the likes of which I have not seen since for over 40 years when I was a young man (and had hair...
)..Poch and Levy are trying to build a dynasty that will survive for generations to come. They are creating an ethos, a culture, a belief that you don't have to 'cherry pick' the best that are out there...you simply have to apply yourself to studying and discovering the next strata of new talent. Then you convince them that your dreams are also theirs....it's a simple ideology but one that takes great skill in conveying properly to the next generation of footballer standing patiently in the wings.
Let us not underestimate the pulling power of Mauricio after the last two years. He represents the youthful side of Premiership managership but also is the shining light as regards the willingness to give such relatively young players an opportunity to establish themselves as contenders for regular places in the first team squad. He has earned not only my admiration but also my respect for holding such values and staying true to them. This is what is now acting as a powerful magnet to the stars of tomorrow and with the astute Mr Levy balancing the books I have no doubt that once we are firmly established at the new stadium there are no limits as to what this club can achieve. I envy all of our younger supporters but I am firmly convinced that even at my age I will still manage to see the dawn of a wonderful new era at this club before it's time to buy a 'giant slipper' and a 'onesie' then retire quietly at 7.00pm to my memory foam mattress and watch video replays of Gilzean and Chivers.
