Its basically his young age and inexperience behind his failure for Chelsea and his poor start (imo) for Spurs. I'm not a fan of either team, so can look at it from a neutral perspective. Hes been criticized for his poor man management, and that says it all. Its a team game, and as a manager and supervisor, you have to realise that you cant see, and dont know (especially with his age and tactical inexperience) everything. It seems like its his way or the highway, and he wont take advise from his team and staff. Its fine if you make the wrong decision sometimes, but you need to admit your own mistakes, and learn from it. He seems more intent on passing the blame on to everyone else, and being left behind because of his own stubborness. This is why he lost the dressing room at Chelsea, and it'll be the same at Spurs if he doesnt change his ways pretty sharpish. Imo anyway.
You're bang on mate.
Because his high defensive line worked at a very pacey Porto side, he thinks he can implement it in British football. Unfortunately anyone who knows a slither about the EPL, knows that for the most part, the pace of the game won't allow it, on top of the fact that none of the teams in the EPL can play keep ball.
Couple that with the fact he's using Gallas and Vertonghen, probably the two slowest centre backs in the league and you're facing a massive uphill struggle, before you've even started! He did exactly the same with Terry and Luiz at Chelski and naturally it flopped worse than my cock after I've taken ecstasy.
Spurs' transfer policy really pissed me off the other day. We missed out on Moutinho because it would have meant paying him an extra £5k a week to supplement his third party ownership fees, f**k all really when you think about it, especially after we've saved £15k a week getting rid of Dos Santos (finally).
And according to a friend of my fathers, Mel Bernstein, (a football agent who works for a Russian football club) Spurs lost out on Loic Remy and Yann M'Vila because they wanted £60k+ a week.....so f**king what, look at all the top clubs and £60k's a drop in the ocean, Jesus I mean we paid Redknapp £55k a week to be a manager! Worse still, Jay Bothroyd gets £40k a week at QPR, yes that's right, QP bloody R, of all teams!
Daniel Levy is a thingy and needs to find the balance between running Spurs as a business and running Spurs as a football team. How can we compete with the other top teams, when we won't spend?
Look at Utd's forward players, RVP, Rooney and Hernandez earn £550k a week and up until a week ago that was £610k a week, because of Berbatov. Chelsea have Torres, Hazard, Sturridge, Mata, Malouda that stacks up to £560k a week and least but by no means last look at the old 'blue mooners' themselves, Man City, Balotelli, Dzeko, Aguero, Tevez, Cruz, Nasri, Silva, between them a massive £900k a week!
Sort it out Levy!
