The Current State of Spurs (and some sympathy for Thomas Frank)

[MartyFunkhouser]

He’s only been here 5 minutes.

And we have scored more goals than many clubs people continue to cream their sock drawer over

Well unlike others I consider winning the UEFA cup an achievement & I didn't want Ange sacked. He should have been given this season. That's a whole different thread

It's odd that we wanted trophies finally win one then say it's the UEFA cup & it doesn't mean anything. I wouldn't mind winning the FA cup which he also achieved in a short period of time. Was that nothing

I find it strange people don't see them as achievements

It's a trophy I'm proud we won, I find it odd that it's an achievement for palace but not for us.
In a similar vein with the Tel narrative, not good enough, he's French and comes from a weak German league.
France, double WC winners, PSG currently CL holders, Harry kane is a GHod because he's smashing it up in the BL, thought it was a weak league.
It's never as binary as it is made out.

Undoubtedly tough for a dry technocrat to follow a charismatic leader like Ange who had just ended a trophy drought (however flawed his football was). Injuries don't help, squad building has not provided ideal conditions.

But I can't escape the feeling that he is too small time and too conservative for this club.

Barring a complete crisis I would give him the rest of the season, but he's currently underperforming my expectations which were already pretty low.

That being said, if we can score this many goals with no discernible attacking method, then imagine how many we could score if/when his plan (whatever that may be) actually starts working.

Fingers crossed and merry Christmas to all. COYS.

Lewis is still the owner, their involvement is just a legality loop hole.

Point is, Levy wasn't doing anything without his say so, the idea he was working as a lone wolf is BS

I don't expect anything to change unless ENIC have decided to actually change. As much as I disliked Levy's leadership, he did it under the auspices of Lewis. Whatever decisions he made, they were with Lewis' tacit understanding.

I could see a scenario where new buyers just put him back in charge to be fair.

Would these new owners want to win or just make money? If it's the former then please GHod no to Levy.

No one is criticising Tel because he's French or because he's come from the Bundesliga! At least I've never seen any criticisms along those lines. Moreso I've seen people and I include myself in this critiquing his abilities. Where he's come from is irrelevant.
