Financially, in the World, we are a big club. He may have a point but coming from him it sounds like sour grapes. Anyone on here would have more credibility

Big six in UK, top 20 in europe
The big, big clubs blow spurs out of the water for wages, same with Newcastle, and Villa. Can't compete, so big big clubs maintain advantage and merely big clubs like spurs struggle to motivate players week in week out to chase 6th place. Big Ange failed at Spurs, as for spurs to be a big big club they needed to kick on and challenge for title not chase second tier pots. Anybody can spot top top players, but good managers should be finding good players and making them top top players. |

Spurs are famous for selling Bale and Kane. They are a feeder club.

They are a big club with a small club mentality/owners who are more interested in making money.
They just spent 1bn on a stadium and have the highest matchday revenue in the PL. They can pay more if they want to but they don't. Villa are competing, can't spend because they spend 90% of revenue on wages, which the media ignores. Newc and Villa have spent plenty but quite poorly. No reason why they can't consistently compete with Man U and Chelsea on the pitch. Villa are paying Sancho 200k a week. Did the same with Rashford last season, gambled on getting CL. Wasting a bit more on Elliott's wages. |

Not long ago I would have debated this, thinking Levy was being shrewd and slowly building us up. How wrong I was. Probably the most sensible answer yet, with hindsight. |

Spurs used to be one of the biggest.
They can be again but it will take more than wishful thinking. |

We nearly had Kraft, or so I was led to believe. He build up New England Patriots and I was itching to see what he could do with us. This is one of the reasons Mourinho was employed. Decent club with a new stadium and a tried and tested manager... then covid hit and it all went up the swanny.

If a manager wins a trophy and still gets labelled a failure, that says more about the expectations than the manager. Spurs haven’t been serial winners for decades — so delivering a cup should be seen as a major step forward. Spurs identify as a cup team, so a manager who wins one has succeeded by that metric.

The players rather than previous managers are to blame.
A shower of non team players led by the verminous Kudus. Please God they get relegated |

If you're not a 'big' club, run your club well for 20 years consecutively off the pitch at least if you want to break in. Otherwise STFU.
Arsenal sold their best players for nigh on 10 years to pay their stadium debt down and were a laughing stock, worse than villa are now. But they built a 60k stadium and generations of a global fanbase from the football they played. Villa and Newc are in nappies and not even trying to build that. Villa are a financial basket case. |

spurs are only considered a 6th club because their based in London, or else they,d be a 7th,8th,9th club, any top player will choose city,l,pool,chelski,arsenal,UTD before spurs, so spurs could match the wages of any of those top 5 clubs and spud,S would still only be 5th,6th choice for the player so why would they offer top 5 wages

I suppose spurs could offer them more regular football
and captains armband, which triggers sponsor bonuses. There was a time when Citeh were strugglin and had to overpay to get big names, but no restrictions back then. You've got so much to look forward to next season 1tp. |
