Time wasters come in various guises.
My absolute favourite type are those that spend colossal amounts of time defending their inactivity and charging their accusers with rudeness. Rudeness in this instance of course, being the truth pointed out to them.
This of course, is instead of just pulling their finger out and doing what they should have done in the first place.
Daniel Levy is the master time waster.
Whilst Arsenal got on with it and built their stadium, Spurs bickered with a small family business over pennies.
Only now as the chairman’s bunker basements are being constructed are brochures being sent to blue chip companies begging for sponsorship.
I don’t believe that this is Levy’s first attempt to secure a naming rights deal, in fact I’m utterly convinced that he has left several botched, blundered and broken contracts in the wake of this latest initiative.
This morning, Michy Batshuayi has been named by The Guardian, Sky Sports and The Evening Standard as being close to signing for Chelsea.
The bookmaker Coral announced on Twitter earlier that the player was actually undertaking a medical at Stamford Bridge …today.
I’m not interested in life stories, tall tales, shaggy dog stories or any form of apologist twaddle.
What I want is initiative, action, achievement.
Get some players in, make sure at least one of them is a bonafide striker and get the flip on with it.
I want Spurs to have a proper, worthwhile preseason that leaves us prepared to build on the positives from last term.
It is hesitation and bungling that have marked Levy’s reign.
The suggestion that getting a player over the line is more complicated at Tottenham, than it is anywhere else is preposterous.
Fans can look forward to Levy either doing his job efficiently in the transfer market for once, or being fed more stale hot air about Pochettino being happy with his squad.
For those of you who still haven’t grasped what happened last season, our 3rd place finish was in significant part, gifted to us by the severe failings of other sides.
Levy needs to ensure that Spurs are especially stable over the next few seasons.
Will he do it, or will he continue wasting everyone’s time?
