What I really do not understand, is why you are so scathing about Harry Redknapp and the things that he achieved, or the players that he brought in. Yet are so unwilling to say anything that is remotely critical of AVB or Levy. You only ever say things like we cannot know what is going on...Levy has the club's best interest at heart...I will withhold judgement till the end of the season...Player X may still turn into the player we need...etc. etc. I cannot wait until tomorrow evening where I fully expect to look on here and finally see what you actually think about our season. Maybe you may even post something about what you would like to happen next, actually make a statement about what you really think, rather than telling us all that everything is perfect as it is.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to answer your questions.
1. I have been critical on Mr Levy on this forum; concerning the picking of some of manager’s we’ve had in the past.
2. I only joined in October so you wouldn’t have known about my previous critical concerns against Mr Levy. I give credit when it is due and criticise when necessary.
3. As for AVB; I think he has done a good job since joining Spurs. This season we finished with the highest points tally since any Spurs manager since 1967. There has been a lot of criticism of some of our players; if I accept that then that is another reason why we should give AVB credit. We’ve ended up 5th and with the highest points tally since 1967 and we achieved that with players that members on here are critical of. And all that in his first season. There is nothing – concerning AVB – to be critical of, but congratulatory.
4. As for the best interests of the “club at heart”: I’ve said all along that for Spurs to compete with the top clubs we need more revenue and one of the way’s to achieve that is by building a bigger stadium; which is in progress. So considering I think Mr Levy is pointing us in the right direction. And of course he said he is going to invest in Spurs with more players. AVB has confirmed this. Of course we shall have to wait and see.
5. I am disappointed in us finishing 5th but under the circumstances I think we’ve done well. I also think – until we get more income – that we are punching above our weight. Maybe we are achieving that because of Mr Levy’s handling of our purse strings. After all we are not in debt and planning for the future.
I hope that I have answered your question, but if not, then please point out where I’ve avoided you and I will try to correct that error.
Regards, voice.
