Who is the Tottenham chairman and what has he done with Daniel Levy?

- čas přidán 25. 04. 2024
- Tottenham's summer has seen a complete u-turn in policy from chairman Daniel Levy, with all their transfers carried out early in the window and £60m spent on a rotation player in Richarlison. James Horncastle and Jack Pitt-Brooke joined Mark Chapman to discuss why Antonio Conte and Fabio Paratici have enforced a new way of thinking at Spurs...

How long will Antonio Conte be at Tottenham? 👇
12-18 months
When Conte learns this summer was a exception. Next summer Levy returns to his clueless ways and Conte walk.
He isn't going anywhere until June 2023, that is guaranteed. The success of this season will decide what happens next.
I hope it's many years and I hope we win some silverware in that time. If we do not win something he will be gone and Levy will close his wallet!
For as long as him and Levy get along (obvs) that said Tottenham is a club crying for a long term manager of real quality and if he brings success it will look extremely good on him as they have not had any real success since the 60s - he would become a god like figure and be able to hold his post for some time.
Mr levy has build a world class stadium and hasn’t put the club in financial trouble how many clubs have done that it’s in safe hands
ive been saying this since it was announced we were building a new stadium, creates revenue outside of football and brings more world class events, so we were only due to big signings
Depends on what the owners want to invest, it's not down to his abilities only.
Yessir! At this point he has to sit back and let the football people get to work to improve the team on the field..
When the pre tax profits from a full packed season in the stadium and the non football events come out, the football financial world will be shocked and levy will not be able to make excuses anymore. Remember levy said the stadium is the game changer to compete with the elite. And not forgetting a full packed stadium this season. Enic will have to make a big big decision soon, either take the big step and help conte build a side to seriously compete with pool and man c or sell the club. It’s simple as that.
@@johnp9904 yes I agree but they lost a lot of money in lock down
Anything with James Horncastle is worth watching or reading
Yep... but his success with the Hairy Bikers, over-shadows his journalistic accolades!
I think he’s a prat personally but each to their own
I agree
Horncastle has highlighted the key concept here of the head coach and the director of football working together. The director of football has a proven track record of success and seems to mirror the head coach’s vision. Manchester United….
Most players are over 6 foot, are full internationals and have had the full Conte pre season. This is a Spurs team that will bully other teams, out-run, out-muscle, out-jump and out-score everyone. It's not just the players - they now have a set piece specialist coach so may finally score from corners too. Spurs now have a team where if one player is injured or subbed, they will be replaced with another without any drop in performance. The opposition may have a strategy for Son and Kane, but there are now eight others (and many more on the bench) who can score in the team. There's no reliance on one or two people.
The transfer policy and quality that has been brought in outstanding. If you need proof, sit back and watch Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea and others panic buying. It's like watching the Spurs of old. This will be one hell of an interesting season and I believe all the answers will be provided this weekend at the Chelsea v Tottenham match.
Are we going to a have a “That’s so Spursy” moment this weekend.. or are spurs going to rise up to the challenge!? love the prem, already a blockbuster of a game.. #COYS
This week will be a test to show their true strength. Can they show the same quality against big boys? We’ll see
Delusional
@@ScenicWisdom Go ahead, do explain yourself instead of a driveby one-word comment.
So what happens when you face a low block team???
Significant improvements in the club. If they can move on the out-of-favour players, loan Tanganga and Gil, and agree another year for Conte, it will be another huge step in the right direction. 3rd in the league and a deep run in domestic cups is a strong possibility.
James Horncastle looks a bit like Bill Bailey via Malta.
I feel conte will Sign a long term contract
If Conte wants to stay, he will get an extension. He is doing Levy a favor, not the other way around.
Daniel Levy and Enic deserve a lot of credit from all of this. Best stadium in Europe, One of the best training grounds in the world, and a world class product on the field. It's fantastic.
As conte said in his first press conference as spurs manager, Enic have to match the ambition off the football pitch on the football pitch. Enic have to focus on the pitch now. Conte is not a manager just for 4th spot.
Probably one of the best stadiums in the world, I am Chelsea season ticket holder for the past 21 years. I sporadically work at the Tottenham stadium as security in the VIP area, absolutely fabulous, being born in foreign shores I dont have that ingrained rivalry between Chelsea and spurs, I hold more resentment towards Arsenal (although I live in Islington) and Liverpool if I have to be honest. Maybe it’s because I also work for a prominent Jewish community(I am a Catholic} in north London.
With Antonio Conte, Spurs are guaranteed success. They will steamroll Arsenal
Yeah i agree, it has taken 2 decades of bts work to move forward and bring in the coach and team to take the club to the next level, poch was amazing on the path, i have to add.
Yes for the stadium but this is a bog standard transfer window, nothing has changed. The one expensive player will be a sub. the bargain basement Bissouma our best buy and a 34 year old Perisic coming to the end of his career. Two young potential signings with sell on value. We got Perisic and Foster on a free and Clement 4th choice LCB from Barca on loan. If you think this is backing Conte then you need to lay off the sauce.
There's nobody to challenge Dire for CB, we need a quality RWB who's as good as Perisic but on the opposite side obaviously. We need a strong hard working flexible playmaker who can play in various positions.
We need a quality back up striker and some quality to come in and challenge Kulusevski. We got battered against Chelsea in the middle which put so much pressure on our defence. Romero's out now and Sanchez who can't control the ball nor pass is in his place. How has this been a window where Conte has been backed?
Go and listen to Aleister Gold and to all the propaganda about all the players we were supposedly in for. Levy does this every year and then the excuses come as to why we didn't sign them. Because he wouldn't fork out big money for another superstar is the real reason. Paqueta was perfect for Conte and now he has agreed terms for 51 million with West Ham apparantly. The same with Grealish, Bruno, Dyballa and Diaz as Danile Levy doesn't want a load of superstars on big wages..
@@contesketchup2981 Dude chill out.... It's been a solid window. You've gotten too much into big spending by other clubs. We have a lot of depth in the middle and added Lenglet at the back. Once he gets fit he will show his class. You have to let the talent gel. Look at Darwin Nunez at Pool. This isn't Football Manager. Just be patient.
I would have like to see an all or nothing series with conte
Imagine if Everton had gotten Conte and let him spend the money they spend over the last 7-8 years.....
🤣🤣🤣
Ikr 😂
Excellent headline. Brilliant journalism!
The nickname Juventus on Thames comes from the many players (Romero, Kulu, Betancour) and staff (Conte and Paratici) that came from Juventus, not because they are similar in history/trophies. I don't know why so many people are not understanding this.
How can you not understand it 😂
The bit I don't understand is "on-thames"
Tottenham nowhere near the bloody Thames.
Romero never played a single game for Juventus. More to the point: Conte is a renegade and his story with Juventus is in the past now, a distant past. He doesn't provide much of a link with Juventus.
Anyone who thinks levy is bad for Tottenham doesn't understand reality.
Spurs were a mid table club when he was appointed. He provided the much needed stability to the club with limited budget whilst providing a world class stadium.
consistently flirting with relegation in fact.
@@joshuataylor3550 we were usually pretty solid Midtable mid to late 90's. A few years towards the bottom, but only one relegation scare I can remember. Relegated in the 80's but came back with a bang, with hoddle and co.
They've done a good job but learned from mistakes on the way. The way we appointed Ramos was poor. We looked amazing at 3rd at Christmas and failed to push on, signing saha and Nelson.
We didn't back poch when he needed it and it would have cemented our position in the champs league for years to come.
Super around the infrastructure side, but on the playing side, Levy got it right with conte, which was just as well, because if he failed, Son would go, kane would go and tottenam would have accelerated backwards.
@@willliamtaaffe8099 has to do with the income that the new stadium and Cl qualifications bring this year.
We are not blessed with oil money or a sugar daddy like Chelsea. Yet people kept saying he should have spent earlier and what not, it's not that simple. Levy would never risk bankrupting the club especially before the stadium is completed and that's what i love about him.
He's not the one who decides how much spurs spend, he's only a chairman who has a say but the money comes and goes to Lewis.
@@willliamtaaffe8099 Relegated in the 70s actually, not the 80s. And we came back up the very next season.
Brilliant window for Spurs amongst the top 6 Paratici madness
We put Daniel Levy under a lot of pressure to appoint someone who knew how to run a football squad because he was running the club from a business point of view to make money but not win trophies
All levy has to do is back him and sit back when the season starts. Conte will then grill his players to perform to his standards cuz now his time to deliver has arrived
We as fans deserve this it's been a struggle since the 70s 😒
It will also have been made manifest to Levy that he'll look like a complete incompetant if Conte simply walks out the door having been messed around by the club.
He’s getting double teamed at every meeting conte and fabio have been bffs for years now and they are bullying levy to make changes
Can you do a podcast on Chelsea and on Man U? Thanks in advance.
Levy got his hands wrapped by Uncle Joe, he was told to give up some control and get the best people he can to take over the footballing side. Choosing Paratici, the initial plan was Conte but Levy and ENIC still wanted to do it the Levy way until they realised with Nuno, that without Conte, Paratici is just an upgrade in the HR department.
Conte taught Levy a lesson twice!
It's a matter of time before Levy messes this up. He can't help himself.
It will be the next 2-3 windows. Typical levy will say, conte I got you 6-7 players, no need to buy anymore players. If that happens , conte will walk
I put it to you that Levy has not changed his after season, bargain-bin-hunting-ways due to pressure from the Italian duo. In stead, consider that Levy slowly improved Spurs since the early 2000's, never overspent in a ManU like fashion, rebuilt the stadium, restructured the club's debt, appointed both the Don and Conte in full knowledge of how they operate, got Enic to play sugar daddy, and then went on (arguably) the craziest transfer window in the club's history. While I do describe myself as a pro-Levy conspiracy theorist, I feel that there is enough here to support the idea of a systematic approach to strategic goals., a slow and steady improvement in the club's value, both on and off the pitch. Spurs is a football club AND a business, and it is non-sensical to see the two sides as unrelated because footballers don't come cheap. Levy might just be the shrewdest operator in European football, but because he's such a private guy, and usually suffers under social media criticism, we are not recognizing his greatest achievements. Just a thought.
Nah.
He's the same as the rest of them.
Sometimes you hire a pochatino, sometimes you hire a villas boas.
Sometimes you sign a dele Alli, sometimes you sign a absolute bag of wank.
These business men thinking they know football are all alike.
There guessing.
The best ones just put an actual football person in charge, sign the checks and shut up.
Yes levy has done great with the stadium.
Property development is where these kinds of people's skills thrive.
I give him credit for the stadium.
But the main reason spurs look good right now is conte.
The reason city and Liverpool look so good is because of pep and klopp.
The money men in the boardrooms are just winging it.
I reluctantly have to agree with you on some points. Yes he has balanced the books, but hopefully he has learnt that football isn't the same as other businesses! Buying young players as an investment might earn money in the future but aren't ready today! Getting last minute bargains on the transfer window won't have preseason to get matchfit or especially if from abroad have time to acclimatise and learn how the manager plays! Let the manager pick the signings not the board because he knows the players he needs and he won't play them anyway to make a point ( e.g. Bale never played under Mourinho!) You also tend to make more panic buys and they think if you pay £60 mil for a player they must be good like NDombele. It's not just about skills but also if they can adapt to the manager and the pace of the premier league which he wasn't and couldn't. It ends up losing the club a lot of money.Yes Levy has given Conte what he needed to stay, but I just know that sooner or later Levy will be unable to help himself and relapse into city businessman and go for profit margin Conte will walk and we will be back on the spursey rollercoaster of ups and downs and nearlys for another 20 odd years until the next false dawn! But hey such is the life of the spurs fan of this club we love!
More Spurs content please 🙏🏻
Spurs have done the transfer business this season completely opposite to Mufc !!
Fantastic content! Spurs have everything in place to fill the trophy cabinet! Let’s get it done! COYS
it's not that conte didn't have a 1% belief that Tottenham could win. He has explicitly said that he was not in a place to start at a new club following what happened at Inter.
As an Arsenal fan I can agree Tottenham look like a definite 3rd place team possibly 2nd. I think if they get a world class CB then they could possibly challenge for the title. A CB of VVD level. Possibly try snap up Ramos from PSG.
Hahaha good one.
What are you smoking? Lenglet, Davies and Dier are still their 2nd, 3rd and 4th best CBs playing in a 3 that's nowhere near Champion Material.
Also Bentancur and Höjberg are both very good players but also not world class, neither is Bissouma.
Yes their squad depth increased and they're a bit less dependent on Kane and Son but, in a lot of positions they don't have a players in the very top bracket like City, Liverpool and Chelsea. I wouldn't say they're a certain 3rd, much less 2nd. It's gonna be a interesting fight between Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal for 3rd. If Liverpool continue having lots of injuries they might slide in there too, if Chelsea sign, a CB like Fofana and a striker that suits Tuchels style they might be able to give Liverpool and City a challenge. Arsenal I feel are particularly missing a topclass 8 (someone like Bellingham, De Jong, SMS, M.Nunes, JWP) and another CDM + maybe another Striker with a different profile, to really go for Top 2-3.
@@StuttGooner conte factor is huge tho. With a abysmal coaching under nuno and most of the team unhappy and their captain Harry wanting to leave they literally had a United situation then Conte came in and got them 4th. I agree with you Arsenal we need a world class 8. Bellingham would be a dream however with no UCL we have no chance unless we can finish 3rd or 2nd this season then maybe. Also would like another winger to compete with saka
@@StuttGooner Romero is a good CB however they need 1 or 2 more top CB's dunno I just see dier and Davies and always expect an error from them
@@kidkaka1787 for us I think a CDM is even more important, if Partey is injured we're done, Sambi is to offensive, more a 8 and Elneny is, even with a lot of sympathy, not at the level required. Maybe B.White could play it, but it's a gamble that you shouldn't take. The lack of quality replacements for Partey, Tierney and Tomiyasu is what prevented us from top 4 last season.
Jack suddenly look a lot younger!
The rich have got richer during the pandemic, so considering the type of people who own Prem clubs, the amount of spending by clubs like Spurs is not that shocking.
I bet Tottenham to win the league. If they come up short, a top 4 and an FA Cup win is a big stepping stone. This is also why tournaments like the conference league and the Europa League are so important for rebuilding teams . Looking Roma right now, and look what the Europa League experience brought for Atalanta and Villareal.
Not one Tottenham fan disagrees, the club is heading in the right direction and we will see the rewards.
The twinning with the Old Lady is spooky, actually ... while Tottenham is happily shining its Spurs, in Turin, Andrea Agnelli can be seen watching his Juventus morph into a wannabe: a well-dressed but disgruntled "Tottenham sous Les Alpes" (actual Gazzetta headline: "Juve are all work and no play") with absolutely zero chance of winning a sausage. Perhaps in the Conte-verse, there can only be one. Chelsea beware.
These guys really don't get it, you don't have to dig deep to find the real reason with this "change" in strategy.
Jorgen klopp conducting a webinar. Wow. Nice !
Underrated comment 😂
James Horncastle is elite, the man knows his stuff
Lets be honest though. How many of our 7 new signings would get into the top 3 prem clubs? Hardly world class signings are they ? We fucked up not getting this money in when Poch was banging abouy the need to strengthen.
Why is this channel so London-centric (specifically Chelsea and Spurs)?
Don't forget once covid was over the huge increase in revenue from the New stadium has put us in a much better and higher revenue stream.
Why is he butchering paraticci’s name 🤮
Juventus of EPL will fight for top3
One day, horncastle will speak in fluent flowing sentences
As a United fan I would love for us to have someone like Paratici. It feels like by letting Ralf Ragnick go we let someone like that slip away! :(
Paratici has the worst transfer record of any Juventus football director I can remember and possibly even the club's entire history. Chiesa was his only major success, otherwise he spent heaps more money than his predecessors to land flops on high wages. The Juventus squad is now loaded with his Bosman signings that nobody wants and he's paralyzed Juve's ability on the transfer market for many future summers. It was so bad that his buddy Agnelli had to let go of him a year ago and Exor (the holding company that owns the club) that to send two new people (Arrivabene and Cherubini) to clean up his mess.
The only reason why you'd need Paratici at United would be to make the club's already bad transfer policy even worse.
In order to become "Juventus on Thames" you need to start spending 80m plus on a single player, we've never done that and we probably never will. Lets not exaggerate like that on thumbnails and create false narratives
Not an accurate comment. Spurs have under previous regimes broke transfer records for players. The most notable example was Jimmy Greaves from Milan. Money spent is all relative. I am assuming you are talking in the Premier League era
@@meatmog Obviously. Its not just the amount of money though but the quality of the player. Juventus have bought some of the best players in the history of the game with ridiculous amounts of money for any era and i'm talking talking consistantly for years not just a one of. in order to be called Juventus we need to get marquee players, players that make you say wow
@@alex-je8fd waddle Gascoigne Lineker Klinsmann Sheringham Peters not top tier quality? Juve also wasted alot of money hence poorer financial strength in current context. It is not true that Spurs have not signed wow players as you call them. Gascoigne in 1990 was considered the best midfielder in the world or pretty close and Lineker and waddle were pretty much the best in their positions. The European ban robbed spurs of some further European glory and the unfortunate demise of Irving scholars money meant that spurs had to sell their best assets. Ironically Bergkamp, a Spurs fan was offered to spurs for 4.8m we did not have the cash so he went to Arsenal for 5.3m. It took Spurs until now to rediscover its place amongst the elite teams
@@meatmog Mate, its blasphemy to put us in the same sentense as Juventus and even i a hardcore Spurs fan know that. They were dominating thier league when Serie A was the best in the world, we never did that, ever and they were getting the top players when they were in their prime, all of them. We need to win a trophy after sooo many years to feel some joy and i believe we will but we shouldn't be delusional.
@@alex-je8fd I disagree. The 1961/2 Spurs Team were the best team in Europe at that time. They were robbed of the European Cup that year.watch the video 1962 semi. John White dying cost us the dominance of that period after that. This is the reason we struggled until the later 60s to win trophies again
I know people like to believe that for Levy its only about success off the pitch and never on it, but the two go hand in hand. Success on the pitch means champions league football which is hugely lucrative and he is building the Spurs brand up and for that you need an elite coach and elite players. If you're winning then you're making bank and I think if Levy trusts the vision of Paratici then that's just smart delegation.
No, success on the pitch means trophies.
You must compete to WIN. This is not youth soccer where improvement is the goal.
This difference in the definition of success is exactly the key issue at Tottenham.
Too many fans, Levy included, define success as - consistency in the top 4 of the PL/aka participation in the Champions League. That's why, in 2021, Levy was so heavily invested and interested in being part of the Super League. It was soon revealed that he valued that participation over and above winning the Carabao Cup final.
To others at Tottenham, success means winning one, some or all of the competitions that we take part in, and then trying to be reasonably consistent over the years.
These definitions say a lot about the way the fans that hold them view their own club.
I favor the latter definition.
@@nochso6835 He hired Conte to win trophies. If you win trophies then you play European football. If you play European football then you make money. Us fans want trophies and Levy wants more money to bathe in, so with smart recruitment and strategy, everybody gets what they want.
He hasn’t changed at all, Perisic was free, Bissouma was cheap, Lenglet is crap and we got him on loan, Spence is a championship RB
Maybe he is leaning after twenty years.
What's Kloop doin here??
Man U made a massive mistake not getting Conte.
Still need a top end LCB
The midfield also sucks
@@keepscrolling6042 I actually agree. Even with Bissoima or Benta, we need like an insane talismanic playmaker
@@chriscotonou7765 i mean, current midfield is okay to fight for top4, nothing else. Pochettino had sissoko, prime alli and eriksen for creativity, conte has kane and kulu for creativity nothing else
@@chriscotonou7765 I don’t think you can really play an out an out playmaker in Conte’s formation. With just two centre midfielders they both need to be able to cover ground and win the ball back.
@@keepscrolling6042 creativity doesn’t come from center mids in the 3-4-3. Maurading center backs and dangerous wingbacks are very important to supplement the creativity of the front 3
Sorry, Juventus on the Thames? Haven’t Juventus won things called trophies? Apparently they don’t matter.
Love Jack
Juventus on Thames is the worst thing I've heard in a very long time.
Nah it was clever and funny... and I do support Spurs.
Jealousy
Funny thing is parratci failed in juve lol
The levy problem is one day to go let’s get a phone call in
Love the hype surrounding Spurs this season. It would be even more glorious come April next year.
atleast your last 3 comments are spurs related, obsessed
Rent free
I’m just the audience responding to conte(nt). Like I said, it’s the media who’ve been obsessed with Spurs lately. Don’t know if it’s paid or not but just an observation.
Lets not forget the money spurs made from the s. Korean tour.
I don't understand how grown men bite their nails on camera while talking 😂 Especially British men, who consider themselves... you know.
Wait, so Spurs are now controlled by the mafia?

Juventus of the Thames is hell of an undeservedly over emboldened statement
Inb4 spurs are found guilty of paying off referees and get forcibly relegated
@@zagreus101 this is the way , thanks for making me chuckle
@@zagreus101 that never happened to Juve, there was no "paying off of referees" but go off with your ignorance
@@alexab543 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calciopoli
Juventus never paid referees. It's proven nobody inside the club actually did it. They're just scapegoated becauss they don't have political backings. Their owners are purely bussiness people, whereas both Milan clubs owned by politicians.
Daniel Levy is a Failure has been for 20 years...One decent window changes nothing ..We don't win trophies!!
Look at our wage bill over the years and you’ll see we have been punching above our weight. We have a world class infrastructure. Now we can compete. relax
@@theblackhand1 i care zero about Wage bills I am a spurs fan I just want to win trophies like all football fans
Let's break down this "brilliant window"
- Richarlison; massively overpriced
- Bissouma; brilliant purchase tbf (unless r*pe cases come back)
- Perisic; he's 33 now lads
- Lenglet; deemed by his club as worse than Rudiger/Christensen
- Djed; ask me again in 4 years
- Forster; 34 year old back up keeper, no analysis
Don't get me wrong, they've slightly improved an already strong team, but the media love-in is bizarre
@Oli Pascoe I wasn’t intending to agitate, so I apologise. I suppose the point I was making is Spurs have made zero inspired signings, and added nothing transformative. Fair enough, they were good to start off with and maybe only needed a little improvement, but the media/fan response has very much bemused me. Mad that you can’t talk purely about spurs with a spurs fan without them mentioning Arsenal.
Both cheap skate clubs difference is Juve win trophies
How many cheap stake clubs have built a stadium like that?
Now the finances are coming from the stadium the money is there for players without bankrupting the club.
Juventus on Thames uno lol hahahahahaha
Another levy propaganda.
Don't Juve win trophies tho?

Always one !!
They're called that in Italy because they have Juve's management team and have signed a few of their players, not because they win stuff.
@@jumhed994 ah hah! Thanks
The question is more of what motivates L&L. Financial success. Spurs has increased its value without titles. Now for the club to be financial equals to United and the likes it needs titles. It’s highly unlikely to be valued at Bayern or Galacticos with a single title. So L&L believes it can with just 150m. Not likely, 150 annually better shot at it. Enjoy it as it last. Clueless Levy
Levy's many things but clueless isn't one of them.
@@northernbloke6787 yeah I agree
@@northernbloke6787 did I write about anything other then football finance. Yes, did I mention how Levy grown clubs financially yes. Which hasn’t come with titles. Levy is out to make a quid before titles. That makes him clueless. It’s a football club not a vehicle to grow wealth. So winning titles should be the first objective. So yeah that makes Levy clueless. Please don’t equate financial growth means you know bit about most things.
@@MyObessiveDirector Case in point, firing a manager(Jose) that got you a shot at a title just before final. Only a clueless chairman would do that.
@@robwyyi I'm sorry but your looking at this all wrong. The best way to ensure future success is profitability, every club should strive to be profitable. Look at every other 'big club' outside the top 6 and they all have failed to make the impression Levy has in building themselves up to the others level.
Levy has overseen the financial rise of tottenham from nothing to being able to compete with the other top teams. Without massive cash injections like Chelsea and City. Success on the football pitch is very difficult when Klopp and Guadiola are in the other dugouts. Other teams attempt to improve to you know. Levy can make all the best possible decisions (not that anyone does) and spurs still could fail. That's not spurs fault that's the situation. For example spurs probably win the league in 16/17 season if Chelsea have European football but that's outside their control. To say he doesn't know how to win titles is true, he's not a football person but to say that's a failing of him is ridiculous. His job is to find the right footballing people to make tottenham successful and overall he's done okay, Harry Redknapp, Poch and now Conte are all progressing the club forwards, and behind the scenes he's brought in Fabio Paratici who oversee Juventus' rebirth and could do the same for spurs. If you don't think spurs are closer to wining now than they were 10 years ago then I can't help you. But Levy for all his faults when it comes to penny pinching has brought spurs from the nowhere they were to a contender. It's easy to say Levy's at fault for spurs lack of this or that but ultimately its been his stability in charge that's lead to you being able to talk about how he needs titles to further increase profits, thank you captain obvious. Lastly no one thinks that one summer’s worth of transfers is going to ensure titles for spurs. Levy is merely stepping up investment to back the manager he has to show his believe in Conte and attempting to get the most out of the manager he has while he has him.
Juve are not bottle jobs. we get told by media every single year THIS is spurs year. Every year spurs faans are disappointed with no silverware, time and time again. They are trying to convince us they had a great transfer window by signing a bunch of players Chelsea, City and Liverpool would never have signed as below their level. Richarlison is the perfect example 10 goals in 30 games. Thats 1 in 3. City and Liverpool sign strikers that are almost 1 in 1.
What media would that be? Most mainstream English media jumps on the chance to trot out another lazy 'Spursy' narrative.
Spurs have Kane and Son, who outscored or equalled individual goal returns from every team you mentioned. They are now building a squad, which is something they lacked in a few awesome years under Poch (which is where these expectations of success were really set).
Are you reading different media? Not one of them had us down to finish in the top four at the start of last season (rightly, I might add) and when Conte was appointed all they could talk about was how he was probably going to leave at the end of the season. Even this season most media are saying we'll finish in the top four again and at best maybe pick up one of the domestic cups, hardly overboard.
You can only score from the opportunities you get, you can't just wave a magic wand and make opportunities happen. City and Liverpool signed strikers that have been getting silver service from the teams they play with, Richarlison has not had the same level of players around him. I'm not saying that he's as good as the other two, but he hasn't had the same level of opportunity either.
U must of been dreaming
Which media ? Not the English
Juventus and Tottenham are allies
One is a winner and the other is working to be.
