I posted in the expectation I would be torn down; can you give everyone what your view of recent years is as a counter-balance, did I get it that far wrong?
If we'd won the CL, which we should have and no one will ever be able to talk me out of that point of view, we would have broken the stigma that is attached to this club, well a least beaten it over the head and injured it severely.
The conversations we are having now, the sponsorships, the players' attitude would all be different. It was well within our grasp.
That was THE illustration of PJ's assertion that Pochettino is a terrible game day/big game manager. He failed us at that critical point when against all odds we were in the final.
But then again, we had the squad at its prime. So if you take that into account, it wasn't against all odds and Pochettino just flat out naffed up and failed the club when it counted.
That is not down to Levy. He put us into that incredible position. But Levy, at the same time this was happening didn't make the transition he needed to make to keep us competing at that level. Some will argue it was all about lack of player acquisition, but that should have already been in place, we never should have floundered like we have if the right people were involved in moving the club forward, as in the right management team.
Along with the stadium he should have been building, or much more wisely had someone else building, the football operations side of things. This is where he has majorly naffed up.
If he had as much foresight on the DoFO side of things as he did on the stadium we would be top 4 every year and challenging at every level already. We would be a destination club, not a stepping stone.
If we continue with this management structure we will be overtaken on the pitch by smarter more focussed clubs with better management. We can generate all the money in the world, but if we don't have the right people deploying it we might as well pile it up in the car park and take a match to it.
