    Tottenham actually not being just a joke? The year after Harry Kane left?

      As a Spurs fan, inspiring hope then creating back to reality is also typical Spurs…just wait

        It would be something if Spurs won the EPL and Kane lost the Bundesliga.

      You ever read The Rime of the Ancient Mariner? Kane is for sure the Albatross of the story. I’m a total casual fan because my wife follows them and so I watch them. I like them so much better without Kane. I wish them the best, until it comes time to play Liverpool…

        Next week - why the Tottenham Stadium is Xanadu to Daniel Levy’s Kubla Khan…

      Clearly he was the issue /s

      But it’s fine to see that happens with some teams.

      Sporting also claimed the title the exact year after Bruno Fernandes left and he our best player in decades.

        He wasn’t clearly the issue. He’s been doing well at Bayern with a team only partially built around him. He probably wouldn’t have be the best fit under Ange, and perhaps we wouldn’t be doing as well, but he wasn’t THE problem at Spurs. Perhaps symbolic of many of the problems that have dogged the club since Poch’s peak. Arguably a case of Ewing Theory.

        I’d put the main issue down as Levy neglecting the football in favour of the business (the stadium etc), then seeking quick fixes when things turned south. But with Scott Munn coming in to take over running the football side, along with Ange as coach and Lange as scout, we could have reached a turning point. Time will tell.

          Of course a player like Kane won’t be an issue in any club. I hate when people actually argue that.

          Let’s see how far Spurs take this

      Weren’t a joke under Poch - Levy just didn’t invest in new players and burnt that squad and the manager out. A few years in the wilderness with the wrong managers was the worst thing that could have happened. But here we are with the right manager now, back as a contender.

        But still with Levy at the helm.

          True. But now with Scott Munn running the football. We can only hope Levy has learned his lesson and will leave the football side of Tottenham Hotspur FC to football people. If he can rake in the cash from the stadium and other ventures then more power to him, just as long as it doesn’t come at the embarrassing expense of good football.
