Clrnc there's clearly some truth to what he's saying. That being said, can't dispute that Spurs are much more serious force now than they were during his time (just still not serious enough) - regardless of club loyalties, Levy is probably significantly responsible for that.

The challenge now though is that they face a very tough period of paying off a stadium without CL football for who knows how long. That could undo all the progress they've made (fingers crossed).

They probably do need a manager who through force of will can reshape the club culture like Arteta did. Not an easy job and I have no idea whether Ange would be capable of that (even if the intent is there).

    est imagine if I was so shit at my job that I couldn’t use the software correctly and instead of sacking me, they binned the software. Must be nice.

      goon The PL Chief Executive attending the Arsenal-Everton game so he doesn't have to present 115 Charges with the PL trophy. What a surreal situation.

      😆

        I'd rather referees came to the right decision, however long it takes, then for them to make the wrong one. Whilst VAR has had its issues, the overall number of correct decisions has gone up so giving that up for more mistakes is ludicrous. However, whilst I can understand referees making mistakes due to the speed of the game, making them when you have the benefit of replays is just unacceptable, hence why for me refereeing feels far worse than its ever been. Regardless, the issue is not with VAR but the officials using the tool. If they did end up scrapping it, I don't think I could continue watching this shit.

        goon i would rather the PL got this case right. By all accounts we will have another full season before we get a verdict. This team has made a mockery of fair play. But hopefully the premier league has its ducks in a row and doesn’t get caught out on a technicality- “your honor, UAE doesn’t own the club, we just give it unlimited funds through our various state owned entities.”

            Claudius Do you genuinely think there's a chance of any significant punishment? It's quite political when it's an oil nation state. Can they just threaten to restrict UK's access to their oil in response to any sanctions? Wouldn't be surprised if those conversations are happening behind closed doors.

                invisibleman18 Saudi pumps out 3x as much oil as UAE. I don’t thin these guys have oil leverage. This is purely a football issue. The PL likes them because they have brought us Haaland, KDB, Guardiola and the champions league. But at what cost to competition?

                  For the league this judgement is still quietly framed by the Johnson government's threat of an "independent regulator" after the last attempt at a breakaway ESL. It's impurely an impure football issue.

                  As for the geopolitics, I think they'd be more likely to play a part of sorts if that hypothetical "independent regulator" were involved. The UK government has no track record of stepping up to Gulf monarchies.

                  Burnwinter their underlying stats have been alright all season, they just kept missing their chances. This was pretty much always coming.

                      Burnwinter our strikers don't have high xG, thats one of the problems. Saka has our highest xG.

                        Ange definitely has the right mentality. I don’t know if he’s tactically good enough, but either way I reckon he’ll be a good manager for them.

                          JazzG this messed me up so bad.

                          So funny!

                          Yet so sad.

                          When someone says something like ees ze istory of ze Tottenham, now he understands.
