Levy About To Prove His Genius Here

By The Boy -

There’s this Tommy Cooper sketch where Tommy meets the parents of his girlfriend. The father asks, ‘What are your intentions toward my daughter, young man?’

‘We’re going to the pictures’ says Cooper, quick as a flash. ‘No no man, after that!’ retorts the dad.

‘Well I was hoping to get hold of ‘er in a shop doorway!’

Boss of the current Premier League champions Antonio Conte is asking what Levy’s intentions are toward Tottenham.

“My question is this: what are Tottenham’s expectations? If they don’t win the title, it’s not a tragedy. If they don’t arrive in the Champions League, it’s not a tragedy,” he said.

“If they go out in the first round of the Champions League it’s not a tragedy. If they go out after the first game that they play in the Europa League and go down against Gent, it is not a tragedy.

“Maybe for Chelsea, Arsenal, City, United and – I don’t know – Liverpool, it is a tragedy. You must understand this.

“For us, if it is not a tragedy you can keep calm and then face the Champions League and try to do our best as we always do. But you must understand the status of the team.

“I think Tottenham were very good and I think Pochettino is a very good manager and the club is a very good club. But in this season, you built something important.

You never won.”

There are in fact two significant questions for Levy to answer at this point in time.

One: if spending like a loon is not sustainable long term (which I don’t believe anyone of sound mind is prepared to debate) what other than crossing his fingers is he doing in the short term to consolidate the existing squad?

I asked this week how the £60million sink hole of Lamela and Sissoko was to be filled – and didn’t receive a coherant answer from anyone.

Two: Conte’s use of the ‘W’ word was chilling.

Winning is what it’s all about. Never in my life have I encountered such a never ending elaborate array of excuses for not winning as Spurs fans in the last few years.

There’s been a conveyor belt of invention, back peddling and misdirection.

The convoluted cobblers has just been swept aside with three little words.

‘You never won’.

Levy decrying paying over the odds whilst trousering £50million+ for Bonzo pretty much sums up – how Levy likes to do his sums.

Walker bless him has mentioned winning stuff. If you go back a few weeks before the Spurs lads were media trained by the North Korean Tourist Board, winning stuff was mentioned by a good few more senior players.

£50million+ later and the party line is that we’re calm, we’re not getting sucked into the madness, the squad is complete, the squad is a family.

We know from bitter, agonising experience that Levy is a prevaricator. This stadium has been nigh on a decade in the making.

Unless the bald one now does a u-turn of Dementia Tax proportions, he’s approaching the hurdle, the handicap, the bad idea of all bad iides that is Wembley with a strategy that largely consists of crossing his fingers.

Two: when is he going to confront his allergy to winning?

You can wax lyrical about ‘how far we’ve come’ under Levy but you’re being as illuminating as the bores that stare at housing estates and remark profoundly, ‘I remember when all this was fields’. Unless you have built a time machine we can all get in, you’re not making a point. You’re just mumbling. Mumbling, dribbling. Wasting valuable oxygen.

I’m not shocked by Levy pulling the drawbridge up on this transfer window. Bewildered yes, but from shocked. Not only is running away the default position of all cowards, but we also we know he is a f___ of a buyer. A truly dreadful buyer.

Daniel’s tenure at Spurs is a graveyard of scouts, directors of football, Indian spirit guides, managers, coaches, development shamen and talent spotters. It’s telling that nobody survives – bar his good self – and now we have a bizarre scenario whereby scouts that Tottenham previously binned have been ushered back into the fold; inertia has been rubber stamped.

This whole New Destination™ business has seen Levy come into absolute bloom. Look at his happy little face, his happy little Economics and Land Management face. This guy speaks about the turnaround timings on the retractable pitch gubbins with the same selfless adoration a mother has when describing her newborn baby’s little crinkly toes.

All clubs buy stinkers. It’s all part of the gig, but it is here where Levy turns the Guano Amp up to 11.

When the cornered we get some cock and bull story about ‘building’ and ‘jam tomorrow’. With Levy tomorrow never ever comes.

We won the League cup.

I like many of you didn’t give a damn how we did it. It was magical. Happy happy happy Harry.

Klutz Von Baldbrain dismantled that team while they were getting showered after the game. What is this beancounter ever going to build? He couldn’t build a Kinder Surprise toy.

The depressingly anodyne Culture Of Levy doesn’t attract winners. He’s a machine washable suit kinda guy.

Levy has debased the fanbase into cheering a low net spend, fist pumping contract extensions and bragging about training facilities. It’s humiliating.

Well run clubs (of which THFC is not one) nurture their fan base with actual achievement. Why are all the crazy Asians on TV leaping around cheering watching Chelsea and Manchester United play? Because they are associating themselves with success. Pot after shiny pot.

Crazy Asians on TV leaping around cheering watching Spurs are doing what, responding to a big red Asian sponsor’s name on the jersey? Maybe a low net spend is like viagra over there. No, I don’t get it either.

 

The only building going on under ENIC is the further feathering of ENIC’s nest.

Only in Levy Land could you have a serial non-winner being the highest paid chairman in the league, whilst smirking at our rivals for being so stupid, so gullible as to pay market rate for reinforcements.

If Levy’s plan is to hope that Josh Onomah turns into a £30million player, hope we get no injuries, hope that all our lot improve will everyone while everyone else’s go backwards… I wish him all the luck in the world with that.

If Spurs win anything (tangible) in the forthcoming season it will be by the self same genius employed by people who find money in the street, people who win on scratch cards.
