The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

[JacoZA]

I am on my break at work right now but wanted to share this as I listened to it earlier.

Two really impressive smart, dedicated women fighting for us and some of the stuff they say is really eye opening.

Nice to hear someone articulate the value of legacy fans in a way that doesn’t patronize overseas fans.

I will admit that it immediately gets my back up when the term “tourist” is applied in a negative way to a match-going supporter in any way. Far too often it is used (not by all) as a cover for more unsavory opinions. But again, that is also discussed smartly here - although I do think the impact is vastly over-estimated.

No doubt there are tourists who go to match days who are not Spurs supporters, but I would be surprised if that makes up anywhere near a significant share of the people in attendance.

By that logic you’re saying the squad can never be fixed.

We’re already 5 years into the ‘painful rebuild’, how long are you going to give it?

We haven’t won a trophy since 2008, I’m pretty sure it shouldn’t take 15 years to build a winning squad.

Something drastic and revolutionary needs to occur. We have the financial capacity to get the players in to complete the squad. Worry about the outgoings afterwards. They can’t be allowed to hold the club back.

This is exactly how I see it. It's been a perpetual rebuild that has been terribly managed and it makes it a longer process. If we stuck with a manager (ideally Ange now but previously Poch) we would only be adding 2 or 3 a window and it wouldn't cost so much.

Really hoping Ange is a 5-10 year manager for us. We really need the stability and success that would be. Shame we didn't get Ange straight after Poch we might be competing now.

Today I will be taking my boy to my local league two side. Normally I would be taking him to spurs but levy has finally priced me out. My boy would have been fourth generation spurs, don’t know who he will support now. I hope whatever tourist gets the seats we would have taken sings their hearts out for Ange like we would have done

Also if you’re reading this levy, utter shame on you and the rest of the board.

Incredibly interesting interview with Paul Barber, chief executive at Brighton talking about how the club structure their transfer business. He Details a specific person is in charge of different transfer dealings, he heads the outs, someone else for incomings, one person to manage player/agent communications.
The biggest takeaway is just how well set up Brighton are, and almost the exact opposite to how we seem to do business.
It was almost like a very specific critique of Tottenham’s transfer business.
Players should be in place before a the sale of a major asset for several reasons. Players are there, settled ready to step in with immediate effect. Trying to complete a deal after the sale of £100m player puts buyer in a very difficult negotiating position.
All very obvious one would think but
I just can’t understand how such an intelligent business man in Daniel Levy doesn’t have this set up in place.
Scrambling around late August after selling your best player really isn’t good business or footballing sense.

interview around 13:45 on the replays, worth a listen.

I completely understand how you feel, your son is the future hope he sticks with Spurs, despite the shadow of Levy we have to live under. I agree with you utter shame on you Levy.

We haven’t strengthened for 5 or 6 seasons - nothing I’ve seen recently tells me we’ll be better this season than last. As has been the case for years…

But Levy will still come out with nonsense, most will buy into it or swallow it and we’ll continue to go round & round

I don’t think we will be better than last season, we have been in reverse for a while now as a club. Newcastle (money) have also arrived, regular champions league football is going to be beyond us. This club badly needs boardroom change, i’ve never been so unenthusiastic about signings as I don’t feel the culture at this club is healthy at all. It starts at the top, we just don’t have semblance of a winning culture at all. Levy’s predictable antics are still on full display.

It almost felt like a dig at Levy. He made so much sense in describing why you would get players in before a big sale, sometimes planning two to three years ahead of a sale if they know a player will be in demand. Proper succession planning. Not having one person covering all aspects of transfers meant they wouldn't be stretched and could guarantee everyone was giving 100%. He also said not every club follows the same approach, but it works for them.

Even something approaching a settled system like this with our resources and we'd have a real chance at competing even with the doped clubs

But that's pie in the sky stuff for this club apparently

Was Dan (coys) the parasite at the game today, didn't seem to mention him.

Again with the parasite phrase?

Was Dan (coys) the parasite at the game today, didn't seem to mention him.

A number of posters, across multiple threads, have explained why calling Levy a parasite is problematic, given his ethnicity.

Maybe you missed that, and were unaware. But i've seen the term used a number of times over the last few weeks. It's almost starting to feel deliberate now.

If people are really that determined to be needlessly abusive towards Levy, then can they please just pick a different word to use.

You’re an unpleasant man.

What are you referring too?

 

[chas vs dave]

What are you referring too?

The term parasite is an offensive term towards Jewish people. It was a heavily used term by the nazi's.

I'm not claiming you've used it deliberately in this context.

 

[bc205]

What are you referring too?

"Parasite" is a pretty well known historic racial trope, directed against Jewish people.

Jewish parasite - Wikipedia

Again, i will assume that you were unaware of this. But please think more carefully in future before using it as a term to describe Levy.

 

[g_harry]

I have deleted the comment - certainly was not intended in that context.

 

[UbeAstard]

We've not even put in a serious bid for a Kane replacement yet, agree that there's fucking zero chance the little bald **** would sign up a player if he was just injured.

I'm fucking astonished it's been a week and there's no obvious sign of us looking to target players with the Kane money.

Who should it be who we are likely to realistically get without being rash at this stage ?

 

[McArchibald]

At least there's a whole new team and manager for Levy to stifle, thwart and undermine through overruling, back-pedaling and underinvestment... Let's enjoy I'm a hipster ball for as long as Levy lets it last.

 

[h2005]

The issue is we’ve known Kane was going, his replacement should have been lined up before he left.

 

[Navy Spur]

For an intelligent man it blows my mind how short sighted Levy is when it comes to investment in the team with real quality!

Under Ange this could genuinely be a sliding door moment for us, with some reasonable investment in the team who knows where he could get us.
