Daniel Levy - Chairman

Given how some people are keen to apply market forces perspective to our ticket prices, have they considered this…if a commercial enterprise, with shareholders, was consistently underperforming against the level of investment, and the chief exec consistently gave himself pay rises regardless of performance there would be a shareholder revolt and the chief exec would be ousted. Of course that doesn’t apply to spurs because reasons….

It's all gone a bit Arsenal fan TV "Wenger OUT!" in here... Sad to see to be honest.

How's "Wenger out" working for them? Be careful what you wish for

About the same as Pochettino out is working for us I think (though I think they’ve won a couple of FA Cups since Wenger?..... More than we’ve won in ENICs entire time at Spurs).

Story dates back to 2016. First time reading about it. Make me empathise with Poch's last year here but conversely makes me question Levy and co. Much more.

We paid Saudi Sportswashing Machine more for Sissoko on deadline day than Liverpool paid for Wjinaldum early in the window.... Only at Spurs are players worth more when not getting them in for the manager to have a preseason with them....

Here’s a quote from one of his posts

“You have a choice. Support or don't.”

So if we choose to criticise we are not supporting? That’s some next level bs right there.

also the success is a measure of investment and how it’s applied. If levy/enic are requiring spurs fans to pay top dollar then this ought to be justified in how they use this income and the goals achieved.

Was that in reference to ticket prices?

It’s working out for them one place and one point below us - that after they had their worst season in over 20 years.

They continue to win the odd trophy, we don’t.

So we’re performing at, or arguably below, the same level as a Wengerless Arsenal.

It was our worst season for GHod knows how long as well! If you think we have been performing below Arsenal since Wenger left then good luck to you.

Getting rid of Wenger was the right decision. They had already started to slip down out of the top 4 and down the table. The bigger problem is they have owners who are content with finishing in the top 4 when they really should be challenging for titles most years with their history and resources. They were always going to struggle post Wenger just as United did post Fergie given the duration both were at those clubs, doesn’t mean it was wrong to force Wenger out. They’ve just picked the wrong managers.

it was in relation to my comment that the level of success, investment, and stewardship of the club did not justify the top dollar ticket prices bring charged.

So it's about whether or not ticket prices should reflect the quality on the pitch and not whether Levy is beyond criticism?

If you say so. They have been in serial decline since he left. They would suck your dic k for constantly finishing Top 4 and the odd trophy, which was what Wenger was delivering before any of that Wenger out stuff started

It was only a Matter of time though before someone got their brick together and over took them as we eventually did under Poch. Should have happened earlier had Harry not taken his eye off the ball. But the issues over there were not only Wengers, but more to do with the owners.

I don't think that - nor did my post say it ('arguably' is different to 'is').

They've won trophies, we haven't. They drfit between CL and EL qualification as do we. Neither of us has made those competitions this year.

Little to choose between the two in terms of achievement. We have probably played the better football over most of the post-Wenger era; however, they have the silverware.
 
While I think in hindsight sacking Poch was a mistake, am I the only one that was terrified that a relegation fight might have been on the cards after that horror show at Brighton? I don’t think I’ve seen a performance quite like it, apart from possibly Brighton away under Mourinho!

The point I’m making is a lot of people have said that Poch should’ve been given the season, but for my money, we looked in freefall and I was fearing for what came next before he was sacked, as tragic as that was. The players looked like they had stopped playing for him or were totally bereft of confidence, probably a bit of both.

Not sure about a relegation fight but we were in free fall not doubt about it. And yes it did look like the players had stopped playing for him. I wouldn’t have backed our spineless bunch in a relegation battle, you need guts and fight to get out of that situation.

Arguably means you think there is an argument to say that and judging by your next 2 paragraphs it looks like that is what you think?

like I say, good luck to you, but I’d rather have been Spurs in the post Wenger years than Arsenal.

I’d agree with a lot of that, it’s just that poch had been saying for some time that we needed to have a major overhaul and subsequent events have proven him 100% correct. I think if levy had backed him properly in the first place we wouldn’t ever have got to the stage where performances had deteriorated to that extent.

so we’ve been slightly less s brick than aresenal, so what, who cares about Arsenal? I only care about spurs. Sure it’s fun to laugh at aresenal and Chelsea but the bottom line is I don’t really give a crap about either of them
