Tottenham reveal SHOCKING news about transfer strategy
With his club competing admirably on multiple fronts one would think Daniel Levy would be getting out the checkbook to see Spurs through to the end of the season. The latest news though is shocking.
Despite having a manger crying out for more money or else he’ll leave. Despite competing better than the club have in years. Despite the fact Tottenham could very well win the title or even given a little luck the Champions League (alright, alright, they’re still in it). Despite moving into a brand new, money spinning stadium. Despite all of that, it is rumored that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has decided the club is going to spend even less money on transfers and wages.
Daniel Levy is going to return to his old ways and buy younger players for less money and get them into the club on cheap contracts. It is his feeling that the signings of players like Serge Aurier, Fernando Llorente and Lucas Moura have upset the wage structure at the club and broken the system that he had so proudly put in place.
Tottenham have always done a good job measuring the financial risks against the potential rewards when it came to playing in the transfer market and Daniel Levy deserves a lot of credit for the stable foothold he has put the club on but this is absurd.
At some point he needs to remember the passion. That football is about winning things. It’s about making your family, your friends the people you go to school, work and live with proud. The supporters at Tottenham deserve a chairman who wants to win as badly as they do and understands that at times football must come before the business.
Until now Levy has done a nearly perfect job. When he took over at the club it was a very different situation and he has been able to mastermind a tremendous change in fortunes both on the club and off it.
Tottenham are a wonderful club with wonderful supporters and they can’t be run like a business all the time. Yes, I know this is modern football and things have changed but some things remain the same. Football is about pride and passion and Tottenham cannot live in the past. They have done too good of a job to get here and things are different now.
Even the announcement of this is bad. It will hurt the growth of the club. There’s already players like Adrien Rabiot suggesting they feel “too good” for the club and that they’re above it. That’s not true but the fact that it’s out there is bad enough. Players are not going to sign for a club that lacks ambition to that extent. Why would they?
Tottenham supporters deserve more than this. They’ve been patient over the years. They have waited on the new stadium. They have waited on the signings. They have waited all while paying some of the highest prices in the division.
It is time that was rewarded with some ambition. Ambition that can match their dreams.
