I have continued to berate Tottenham Hotspur Chairman Daniel Levy with regard to his lack of support for manager Mauricio Pochettino in the transfer market and I feel last night’s embarrassing loss to Bayern Munich is a culmination of this.
Running Liverpool and City close saw us punch above our weight, thus needing quality recruitment to maintain our challenge at the top.
Liverpool saw this was needed when finishing behind us and the purchase of Allison and Virgil Van Dijk turned a good team into a top team. They have not only overtaken us but surged ahead whilst, save for an amazing Champions League run, we have been in decline over the past couple of years.
Whilst we have retained our CL position, our general form has dropped off markedly. Fortunately our relegation form of the last part of the season was matched by the Arse and Utd allowing us to hold on to fourth.
Poch has not always got it right but he has done marvels with the tools provided, but it could not go on. People tell us Levy is a financial genius and brilliant negotiator but if so why will Christian Eriksen, Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen all leave for nothing next year (we should have been getting £100m+) and why has nobody questioned why our new stadium’s original cost of approx £450m escalated to in excess of £850m – some have suggested it might even reach £1b?
Who is responsible for the hundreds of millions overspend? Why has nobody in the media ever questioned this. A couple of years ago we all had such high hopes that the Club could be entering a long period of success but lack of investment and incredibly poor business acumen may see an end to our dreams.
