Addressing the Levy/ENIC discussion, a thread:
This first point is to the many Spurs fans who have evidently only began supporting us in the last few years (not criticising them, just saying they are less likely to understand ENIC has revolutionised our club) here are our average premier league standings before the takeover
I also must mention
- Signing Poch (one of our best ever managers)
- Building the 17/18 side (one of our best ever teams)
- Building the new stadium (arguably the best sports stadium in the world)
- Investing over 200m in the squad + manager despite the debt from the stadium

The “signing” issue
Firstly, no one has really got signings through this window due to the bureaucratic complexities of brexit and the coronavirus, as well as the massive debt we are in due to loss potential revenue from the stadium.

Despite the potential loss and our position as a smaller financial power in the league, in the last 5 years we have spent:
- 68m (15/16)
- 112m (16/17)
-87m (18/19)
- 86m (19/20)
- last summers brilliant signings as well

Yet @kanefromthelane or other entitled Spurs fans will have you believe they are bad owners because they don’t spend 300 mil a year like Man City and Chelsea do. Football is a business, a business has to be run correctly, and that’s what Levy is doing.
To summarise - we used to be a club like Crystal Palace until these visionaries took over. They aren’t perfect, but unlike the rest of the top six they aren’t funded by oil states or hedge fund billionaires. We can’t afford losses on signings without replacements
This is why we often struggle to ship deadwood out, and I admit this is an issue that must be changed, but this isn’t football manager, we can’t click our fingers and sign a Ruben Dias. Our ownership has revolutionised this club, don’t let entitled fans make you think otherwise.
End of thread.
