He had already posted it and he was spot on

It was reported yesterday that citeh have eclipsed united in the income stakes.

Really? Where was this?

No way do City make more commercially than United.

This made me tittering somewhat!

 

[BBassic]

Shame for all those young players that were starting to make inroads. Back to the U23s with the lot of them I should think.

 

[Stat Brother]

Cracking appointment.

Top 4 and FA Cup now guaranteed.
Jose will thrive at Spurs.
The Spurs fans will really take too him, I wouldn't listen to the plastics on here.






Just in case we get a bounce, in 6 months time.

 

[Mo Gosfield]

Don't underestimate Levy. I suspect he may have calculated that if he can take the club to another level then the income will be off the scale. It was reported yesterday that citeh have eclipsed united in the income stakes.

Given that, how best get to the next level? Spend. Who's good at succeeding after spending? Maureen.

I think Levy knows exactly what he's doing.

Very good spot by certain posters, btw. That includes [MENTION=14640]oldboyroy[/MENTION] and [MENTION=451]BensGrandad[/MENTION]

Levy knows exactly what he is doing. Spurs were going backwards, quickly. He knows that Mourinho gets a quick reaction at a new club and he is banking on the new man kick starting them up the table. He had to act now. We are virtually a third of the way through the season. Tottenham are 14th!!! They are 11 points off 4th ( and thats City!!! ) Are miles behind on GD and have won 3 league games thus far. With the busy festive season fast approaching, Levy knows they have to start picking up points. West Ham ( a ) and Bournemouth ( h ) gives him a chance of a good start.

Revenue. It was stated on radio 5. Can't find the details online, oddly. Their revenue however was over £500 million last time it was counted, which is certainly in the same bracket as united's, if it isn't above it.

My point was that Levy sees citeh as a profitable club, with profit linked to success, and realises you can succeed if you spend.

And it is the only explanation for Levy's actions. He would be stark staring bonkers if he expects Maureen to bring success using the Poch model, and there is no way Maureen will take a job with a second rate transfer kitty. And, to be clear, I'm not referring to this:





If Levy doesn't spend, and Maureen kicks off as a consequence, I will eat [MENTION=494]Kosh[/MENTION]'s big Richie Blackmore hat.

If they are good enough, he will play them. The problem at Spurs isn't youngsters, its the likes of Alli, Dier, Trippier etc, who, quite frankly, have been a pile of poop since the World Cup went to their heads.

The hardest season is the one after a major summer tournament.

I'm sure they'll be the odd outlier, but I'm finding it hard to think of players who returned from the W/C and kicked on again.

 

[BadFish]

Spurs have been the model of a well run club over the last 5 years.

That is all up in the air now, Jose is a basket case.

I think that a couple of trophies might possibly come at a high price.

Tripper is no longer at Spurs, to be fair. Dier isn't very good IMO and Alli is a bit of a sicknote and always has been. Personally I think their issue is that they haven't really freshened up their squad under Poch, primarily because of lack of funds. You simply cannot kick on with a team that barely changes over 2,3,4 years - you always need fresh impetus.

This is an appointment born out of blind panic. Spurs are mortgaged up to the eyeballs now with their glitzy new stadium - they desperately need Champions League football to help fund it. They've become accustomed to that additional revenue stream over the last 4 years, so not making top 4 will be a disaster for them on and off the pitch.

They've stood still in the transfer market for too long, the squad has become stale, they have several key players who don't want to be there any more and will leave in the summer for nothing, the playing side needs a major overhaul. Levy will be hoping Mourinho can attract the players they need without being able to offer Champions League football (they're obviously not going to bridge an 11 point gap).

This has CATASTROPHE written all over it. Pass the Pringles.

 

[blue-shifted]

Prediction

Levy will continue with his present transfer policy. (because they can’t afford it, they spent too much on the stadium)

Mourinho will be strangely sanguine about it. (because his motivation isn’t to win stuff any more, he wants to live in London and get another 3 or 4 seasons of his exceptional wage)

Spurs will pick up a bit this season, but not challenge for trophies or the top 4.

The football will be pragmatic and Spurs fans will tolerate it for a couple of years

Kane and Erikson will go in the summer. The replacements will be better than expected, but Spurs still can’t get back in to the top 4.

Jose will get paid off in acrimonious circumstances in late 2021

Alli is still just 23. Same age as Bissouma.

 

[Springal]

And Dier has struggled with illness / fitness since having his appendix out

West Ham v Spurs, Saturday 12.30

This news has just given the execs at BT Sport a 24 hour boner.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Question is will Spurs fans be happy to win a Cup at the expense of their style of football? Pretty sure United fans weren’t impressed even with the Cup wins and the ground out high placings

Calling [MENTION=522]Kinky Gerbils[/MENTION] and [MENTION=451]BensGrandad[/MENTION]

The football at Spurs has been dire since the turn of the year, not sure what the trade off is?
