Match Threads Spurs vs Villa - Match Thread - Game 37 - KO 6:00pm

[wadewill]

I’m so fucking pissed off that I can’t just up and leave. Think that’s why I’m annoyed at Harry, lucky bastard

 

[bubble07]

I love the club too but I know when I being taken for a ride imo we should take a short term hit on paying for tickets, merchandise and such for long term benefits for the club. The owners need to know that we as supporters are not here to pay whatever they think they can get away with charging.
£60 a ticket in a one off game after COVID, after ESL, after the shit show of a season, after our best and very loyal player giving up hope and now wants to leave. Enough is a enough we as fans have to do something for change and the only thing ENIC understand is money apparently because they certainly don’t give a shit about the fans

But the sad reality is he knew there would be 10000 fans prepared to pay £60. If he new rhe fans wouldn't he would have reduced the price

Unless 42000 season ticket holders do something collectively nothing will change. But I'm also aware it's impossible to do that. There will still be 42000 season ticket holders so there's no impact to him financially

Let's get back to buying young hungry energetic players. It serves us well.

From Soldado to Doherty it hasn't gone well.

Oh don’t, we’ve done the same for our six year old! It’s his age group that I feel most sorry for, we’ve got all these kids now walking around in Spurs kit having created a new generation of fans only for them to be served up with what we have witnessed over the last two seasons.
My wife sent my lad to bed on 70 minutes because he started shooting our players on tv with a nerf gun asking why we were so rubbish and why do we keep losing. Glad I wasn’t there otherwise I’d have joined in with him in all honesty.
Daniel son, thanks for the training ground and stadium but you need to pick up the phone to Jeff and tell him to name his price, clear your desk and exit through the tradesmen’s entrance because you ain’t sorting this out.

I know what you mean UncleBuck. As soon as my two good friend’s kids started taking an interest in football, I went straight out and bought them spurs kits despite their dads being Manu and Celtic. I’m from Belfast and one of them has now been over to the new stadium for a couple of games. But boy, am I feeling embarrassed and fucking guilty now after a season like that. I agree though that the only way out of this shit is to get rid of ENIC. Levy has been running things for over 20 years now so it’s not as if he hasn’t had a proper chance. The only language they understand is £££ so by withholding my hard earned, it’s better for the next generation of fans in the long run. I seriously believe that it has now got to that point.

Sadly not really surprised by that game.

Broken team, average players, no proper management and playing like they know the season is over Sunday.

Do feel sorry for the fans who went though, ridiculous they had to pay 60 quid.

 

[Derryank]

Didn't watch...how bad was it?

Worst this season?

 

[TURKISH69]

Been a fan for 47 years ive never been so embarrassed as i feel now as a Spurs fan!!! Ive not been on here for over a year because i over the years was always called out for being anti Levy but i could see what was happening in 2010 when we got Saha and Nelson on loan when we were flying and needed two top players just imagine!!! But now on reflection im not renewing my season ticket as there are more important things in my life the money could go on.. Enic and Levy have fucked our club right up, under Poch we will never see it ever again that good until the club is sold!!! Which aint happening because the fucking Spurs fans have no back bone the only club out of the Elite 6 not to really stand up against Enic the other 5 clubs put us to shame embarrassing. Tonight was the opportunity to tell Levy and Enic to fuck off refuse to go in the ground after charging £60 a ticket fucking shocking!! When clubs were charging £30 and sone letting the fans in for nothing!!! Our football club is a fucking shambles from top to bottom and me and you as fans are just as much to blame!! We are a fucking laughing stock!!!!!!

 

[Shadydan]

The disconnect from the club to the fans is actually worse that last days of Sherwood, I'd never thought I'd see that.

 

[DiVaio]

Danny Rose is still the best LB at the club.

Reguilon, Davies, Tanganga, Aurier, Doherty, Cirkin, Sessegnon, Foyth.

All of them would perform better as left back than Rose right now.

Temporary walkouts would be good. You don't even need to organise, much. Just say that at a particular minute in a game, all those who want to make a statement walk off the terraces for 10 minutes (no, not at half-time! ). Maybe the 61st minute. And do that a few times. The optics would be noteworthy.

Or boycott the concessions within the stadium. Don't spend any time on the concourses and spend your money on the High Road or the local area before you go into the ground. Go to a pub for a few drinks before the game and then congregate there after the game. Book a table at a local restaurant with some mates and have a sedate lunch. Or pick up a takeaway on the way. Don't buy any merch at the club shop.

There are things fans can do to impact revenue without having to boycott actual games, although that would be the best option.

 

[ardiles&villa]

Poch had Dembele, Eriksen, Walker, Rose and Vertonghen in their prime, plus players like Wanyama who while less skilled, would give their all. He recognised when they were getting past their best and a refresh was needed. Levy didn't back him up. (The importance of Dembele in our good times was immense)

This is where it all went wrong. Poch should have been backed for a reset. No matter how you remember him and whether you agree with his sacking, this is what should have happened and again it all falls at the feet of one man.

 

[ernie78]

I’m still stunned/frustrated that fans went, £60!!! Levy taking the royal piss. Large demonstrations outside old Trafford and we run to give him our money to watch that shite!!
We’ve been utterly shit for a long time now, he tried the ESL and we haven’t got a manager. He’s shown Sheer contempt for us fans, he knows we are like little crackheads who will feast on any scraps he leaves us. I’m so over his shit. The best stadium and training facilities are useless if you have a shite team.
“Taken our eye off the ball”
Fuck off levy, you knew what you were doing, hoping you could wrangle more out of a spent squad despite 2 managers telling you we needed to rebuild.
poch said it would be painful you’ve made it fucking excruciating!!

 

[rez9000]

Burnley are 2-0 down and have literally nothing to play for. But they're playing with verve and energy even in the 81st minute. They understand what it means to their fans.

 

[jbstarr14]

What’s worrying is that there’s a good chance of us selling the likes of Ndombele Lo Celso and Kane before we ship out Ryan Mates

Levy is in trouble cause he has to either go into the red to save this team(he won’t) or he will have to sell his superstar whilst still claiming we are an ambitious club

Hope he took notes of those boos around the stadium

I can see Harry coming out openly about wanting an easier challenge now

FYP

 

[Buggsy61]

I admit I have been a massive Levy fan and by and large he has been good for the club in putting the infrastructure in place but the club looks tired now.
It was clear tonight that we are coming to an end of a chapter.
It’s time to go in a different direction and I honestly believe that the winds of change will blow through in the near future and that we will be under new ownership within 18 months.
Recruitment and squad management has been truly appalling and whoever is in charge is going to need to take a big financial hit if we are going to get back to the top table but it’s going to take at least 3 years, especially when you take into account the financially doped clubs we are up against.
Pretty depressing picture to be honest.

And then some.

Danny Rose is still the best LB at the club.

Now there's opinions and then there's opinions

Turkish - was wondering where you had gone to my like-minded friend!! Good to see you back!!

Danny Rose was awesome in the champions League final run.

 

[Phil-spur99]

If there is all this secrecy about the new manager because he (or she) is in a job already then it better get announced as soon as this horror show of a season is over otherwise the poisonous atmosphere will take over all summer and into next season - we need to start with the purge and treating the infection - no time can be wasted!
