    What was the trigger in our downward trend?

    Yeah exactly, it’s a balance, and you make an interesting point about passive aggressiveness. I do find it odd that our squad is just completely incapable of playing any sort of low block, box defending system for any sustained period of time. Like, there’s arguments that Romero and VDV for...

    What was the trigger in our downward trend?

    In the instance of how the last year has gone though, I think the issue is that the players weren’t listened to enough. It’s always a balance, but I think the club have gotten this aspect very wrong. At the same time, I think Levy and Lewis offering their opinions on players directly to the...

    What was the trigger in our downward trend?

    Not sure I’ve seen this posted anywhere today so apologies if I’ve missed it, but Harry Redknapp has done an interview in The Times where he talks about Levy and Lewis trying to tell him that Robbie Keane was rubbish, and that he should ask Rafa Van Der Vaart who he wants to play upfront with...

    What was the trigger in our downward trend?

    Fair enough. I’ve seen you mention the Everton game before and I must admit I don’t recall it the same way you do. I remember it being in the midst of the horrible run (in terms of results, fixture congestion and injuries), we had just lost Brennan for 6 weeks and then we lost Solanke just...

    ENIC

    Yoooooooou know what I meant. Champions League club full of what appeared to be at the time top players with high potential waiting to break out. Or the year prior, being 5th and comfortable a repeat European finisher.

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    Agreed. What I find interesting looking back is that the media and pundit coverage of the Spence / VDV incident was all about Frank needing to learn that you can’t make big players wave to the fans after a loss in a derby, but that he’s a good coach and will be better for it. Almost none of...

    ENIC

    Agreed. I think we can get up again pretty quickly. But our valuation seems very toppy right now. For it to recover to the extent that it is now I think is a different conversation. I think we’d have to be back in the CL within 2 years of relegation for it to be seen as a strange blip in an...

    Levy's Plan

    I completely agree with you. I’ve said it over and over again but I think he failed to understand what made Tottenham different and special. Particularly under Poch, and let it go when he should have trusted him. But the general point I am in complete agreement on, he doesn’t really ‘get’...

    Does the valuation even rebound to the same extent if we go straight back up? I feel like so much of what is baked in to the valuation (other than the infrastructure) is that we are this promise of a sexy London club, basically part of the elite, a super league club, that is just waiting to...

    Levy's Plan

    I think he was the best Chairman in the league up until 2018, and then he became one of the worst, or certainly one of the middle of the pack.

    The "If we go down" thread

    Leeds were unwinding the financial gamble of trying to make the CL without the sustained revenue to underpin that push. We’ll be in a much healthier position, hopefully a position of strength relative to the rest of the league, and with a cohort of young players who can lay the foundation of a...

    The "If we go down" thread

    Yep, just inexplicably dumb. And it’s a real shame, but how can both our captains and supposed ‘best players on the team’, ‘only real world class players’ do what they did? They aren’t up for this fight, And GHod, what shame about the legacy of Bilbao and these players potentially being the...

    The "If we go down" thread

    Yup, much needed reset, which starts with getting them out. Doing just enough to tread water for years but being the literal reason the club would never push further forward, which players and managers are now comfortable calling out. Going down will be embarrassing, but I think there’s a...

    OMT Badgers vs Eagles

    This is the saving grace. Both because it’s gonna be funny but also if it hastens their departure. Our valuation will not recover to its current level for a long time under them if we get relegated. I hope they decide to just get out. And it might motivate a good buyer who sees a deal.

    OMT Badgers vs Eagles

    Sure. But he’s not ‘finishing 18th in the premier league’ bad.

    Wow.

    OMT Badgers vs Eagles

    VDV now, absolutely, not worth having here. But he’s a good player in a dreadful environment. We have zero culture, zero togetherness. All the players look terrible right now.

    OMT Badgers vs Eagles

    I agree. But he gave the ref the opportunity to make the call. After all the talk in the last couple of weeks of two hands being on the player. Just dumb. Our players do not care. They are not properly locked in. They just want this whole experience to be over with.

    OMT Badgers vs Eagles

    Honestly I think that’s disgraceful from VDV. It’s lazy. It’s giving the ref an opportunity to make that call. And there was no need. These players just aren’t on it.

    OMT Badgers vs Eagles

    Actually think all over that is the right team. Tudor has picked who has shown up and tried to perform. Can make an argument for Richy starting but I understand managing him. Bissouma has been a problem and deserves to be back on the bench IMO. Way too weak.
