Levy gone!


Also, someone is fishing I reckons, a certain cup run in 95 began with a win vs Derby. Derby are two time league winners, so they're an established elite side.
Then power houses Bristol took a hiding.
International renowned Norwich were volleyed all over the park.
Some no marks named newcastle were swatted aside.
Then some other minnows named spurs were comprehensively vivisectioned.
From there it was all wrapped up, strictly business in the final and man utd dealt with.

Ah happy days, the agent johnson era had arrived. wonderful.

Only recognise Frankfurt as a proper challenger in that, sorry. Tell me all the stats you want about Bodo Flipping Glimt, but I'll never accept you beating them as a metric of how hard your journey was to the final. Bodo Glimt, really? Say it again, but slower

And you've got your head in a twist. This isn't some playground argument about who's dad is bigger than the other. I'm not interested in comparing our 1984 cup win with your 2025 Europa League win (not sure anyone is, other than you). In fact, I've never suggested that Evertons trophies are somehow worth more than yours. Perhaps a Freudian insight into your Spursy mentality, there. But go ahead, convince yourself that the Spursy mentality is down to Levy, and not the hills you as a fan base are willing to die on

The original point was that Spurs fans appear to want to die on a hill to defend Ange and have concocted some odd narrative about your owner not backing him in order to do so

I may not be able to tell you about what it means to win a trophy in the 21st century, but I'm certainly over qualified to tell you what bad ownership looks like, and what bad managers look like too. And Levy ain't it, but Ange definitely is.

Mad you won't admit that

Only in this Everton echo chamber would Roma, Galatasaray, Rangers, Man United not be recognised as a proper challenger - any neutral in this would laugh you out the room.

Ange had his failings, numerous in fact, but he understood were a side good enough to win a Europa and I would argue more importantly B) that trophy is not beneath us. Point B was a huge failing of many of Spurs managers who would choose to follow the boards wishes of throwing the competition aside in favour of trying to qualify for CL football via the league.

For that we will always be grateful to Ange and I do wonder if some of the reason that Levy has been forced out is because the true ownership of the club saw the celebrations in May, saw that it also delivered CL football and generated great financial returns and then wondered why the great Daniel Levy hadn’t bothered pursuing the same strategy in previous years when we had vastly better sides.

He wasn’t fully backed that second summer, it’s just fact. We spent money sure, but only Solanke was his signing and the guy was supposed to be Kanes successor. We spent £40m on Gray - looks well spent but he was 18 and only played as much as he did due to injuries. We bought another teenager in Odobert - again a Johan Lange signing rather than Ange. Bergvall 18 - Lange, Yang 18 - Lange. Timo row z Werner on loan.

It is undeniable he wasn’t backed that second summer beyond Kanes successor Dominic Solanke

Hello friend. May I ask you s few questions? Marvellous let's begin.

1) what Spurs forum do you usually frequently?
2) what do you think of Jimmy Greaves?
3) what are your feelings about Liverpool FC?
4) what so you think about spiritualism?
5) have you ever been banned from this or another forum?

1) many including JA606 and TFC
2) he is dead
3) prefer them winning the title over the scum
4) I dont
5) I was banned from Spurs community about 2 years ago - 1 of thousands of people banned from that as they are a little sensitive over there. Never been banned from anywhere else.

1st Para. I think most neutrals would look at those sides today and laugh you back out of the room. Regardless of the names, none are competitive rn

2nd and 3rd paragraph, won't debate: fair points well made. Good insights for an outsider.

4th and 5th, give me a break. The 185m worth of signings you made (185m!!!!) were of the profile for Ange: young and athletic players that wanted to play his style of dynamic football. He just wasn't good enough to get enough out of them aside from a few one off knock out games against technically inferior opposition

Let's see what Frank does with basically the same group. I personally want to see Spurs do well, my Grandads team. Hence why I'm so surprised by Spurs fans' rose tinted glasses towards the Ange era and them turning on Levy

Can’t remember the player but they were acting like they knew about it before it happened but could only share behind the scenes and had a load of people congratulating them for some weird reason - I just asked why they couldn’t share details openly to protect “their source” but the newspapers that had been running stories for days could

That got me banned
