The issue with Simone argument is, for years people have warned Levy this was the trajectory for Tottenham for YEARS, and he’s completely ignored them. You have past scouts, board members, players, managers all leaving and becoming widely successful. Why is that? Why can they leave Tottenham unsuccessful and then find success at their next job? The fact we are in 2023 and Levy is just NOW CONSIDERING the use of statistical analysis to make data driven decisions at a footballing level is appalling.

[@wolfen210959]

He isn't wrong though. by his own admission he spent more than he had coming in, because he wanted success for the club, he thought he could buy his way into the top 10 for more Sky money, and he failed, because the more expensive players he brought in didn't perform as expected. The difference is that Simon gambled with his own money, but the fans want to gamble with someone else's money.

[@WilliamConnery]

Daniel Levy is the man to blame. The culture comes from the top. He was lucky to fall into Kane and Son at the same time and then failed to properly invest in pieces around those two. For a club like spurs, this era was precisely the time to “go for it”. And levy continually let managers down.

[@kenadams3513]

As an ex-player, How the manager/coach deals with you is hugely important. Conte went in there thinking his chest-beating, tub-thumping style would spark the players into life...but it didn't. Some players don't react well to a strong hand. I personally preferred to be challenged and cajoled; some like to be praised; others like a scrap to get them fired up. The best coaches know the individual and manage them accordingly. This is why I think Pep is the best manager on the planet

[@DeanRTaylor]

No idea how he missed it, I actually think contes comments are fair. He was trying to out pressure on them to improve but the players are bottlers, he's obviously been proven right considering how far spurs have fallen without him, which imo is where they should be with their current squad.

That first call was spot on. Simon seems to have a real hatred towards the most important part of football - the fans!

[@wolfen210959]

Fans are only the most important part of football, in the minds of the fans. Money is the most important part of football, club owners, recruitment teams, managers, players, put money before any other consideration. In the olden days, before the advent of the Premier League, fans were the most important part of football, because all of the money came from fans, that all changed when the Premier League was formed with the billions from Sky, which introduced commercialisation on a massive scale. The club that finishes bottom of the Premier League will receive at least 10x the money from Sky, than it does from it's fans. The lower down the football pyramid that you go, the more important the fans become, because the fan income will be vital for the survival of the club, and in most cases will outstrip the income from Sky, via the EFL, below the Championship i mean.

[@jaedon7446]

Spurs should never lose to Mura. Understandably he was outraged. We as fans were too. How is Conte at fault for being the only person at the club with standards???

[@jaedon7446]

[@eternalanglo1528]

Only the most obtuse and opaque pundit cant see the last 20 years of nothing on the pitch falls onto the lap of one man and one boardroom. It's not only about Conte, its Jose, Nuno, Poch, AVB, Jol and all the players that have come and gone in all this time. The players we did get was bad enough but its the list of players we didn't that hurts more. Its failure after failure, frustration after frustration. Pattern recognition is one of the keystones of measuring intelligence so it surprising that Simon cant or wont see that the only common denominator in everything that happens at Tottenham is Levy.

[@adamg8814]

[@rootytoot6085]

Come on Simon, Levy is to blame. He's been in charge for 22 years and counting, appointing and then sacking all the managers you're trying to blame, with no plan and no clue. How can it be the manager's fault, when we've had a total of 17 in the past 23 years?! Yes, the players aren't up to scratch, but who's chosen most of the current squad, and why do we have around £200m-worth of players out on loan that no one wants? It's because of Levy, who always thinks he knows best, and ignores good advice he doesn't like (e.g. don't hire Paratici). By all means sack Mourinho just before a cup final, with no plan, leading to 72 days' search for a replacement, hiring poor old Nuno at the end of it, as 7th choice. Well done Daniel! Starve Poch of a rebuild and sack him instead of backing him? Marvellous! And of course don't even think of bringing him back when you have the chance, either, that would be far too sensible. Conte wasn't the right fit for Spurs, a 'win now' manager who is used to having a decent squad to work with from the get-go. Bad choice Daniel, a pathetic attempt to buy yourself out of trouble with the fans, aided and abetted by that crook Paratici. All the managers had their faults and made mistakes, they're only human, but none of them caused this situation. Now we're back in pre-Nuno mode, 60 days and counting since Conte sacked himself, working our way through a list of managers who won't come to us because of Levy. Who else is to blame for that, Simon? And now the toxic teletubby has run out of road. A supporter for 60 years, I really can't see where we go from here. Poch, on the other hand, knows exactly where he's going and good for him.

[@WR10678]

Everyone’s forgetting that Conte rejected the Tottenham job a few months before becoming head coach. Levy can’t be getting backed by the media after his management off the field. He let Poch starve for signings for why? What was the plan behind that. What was the plan behind Nuno Santo after Mourinho. What did he say to Conte to change his minds. What was the plan for Conte? What was he presenting to Arne and Nagelsmann?

[@paulorganisation1]

If you look at the premier league you would find that it has happened to many clubs mate.

[@Epsilon04]

“Reoccurring failure” Spurs have come on leaps and bounds under Levy’s management. Kept their best players like Son and Kane, best stadium in the league, fiscally responsible, hugely increased revenue, ambitious managerial appointments and backing in the transfer market( spent nearly £200m last summer) what do Spurs fans expect? They are never going to be serial winners as there are several clubs who are either richer (City, Chelsea, Newcastle) or bigger (United, Liverpool, Arsenal)

[@DilbertWhitehead]

@@Epsilon04 it's that attitude that'll keep them where they are. All those things are great but mean nothing without trophies or regular Top 4. Spurs used to be a big club, they need that big club mentality back

[@Epsilon04]

@@DilbertWhitehead regular top 4 though is likely a thing of the past for everybody bar City. There are now seven clubs in the mix every year with the emergence of Newcastle and that’s before you throw ambitious clubs like Villa in as a shout. United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle, City and Spurs also all believe they should be in the top 4 every year, so Spurs don’t have a divine right. As for the “used to be a big club” they still are one, but in terms of being a successful club they haven’t been for a while. Their last FA cup win was in 1991 and last league title in the early 60s. Point I’m making is that people are talking like Levy has ruined Spurs and presided over a significant demise, when in reality he has moved the club forward on and off the pitch even if things haven’t been great recently.

[@DilbertWhitehead]

@Lunihan - and despite that they should still have a lot more pulling power for top players (who aren't just money mercenaries) than those other clubs. They are still defined as one of the Top 6, maybe the 6th one but still technically there and will be in terms of fanbase and global pull etc. The landscape does all seem to be changing though so maybe you're right and they've already fallen out of it 🤷🏻‍♂️ everything feels a lot more short term these days so if Villa and Brighton have one great season I can understand people thinking of them as bigger than Spurs

Instead of buying one or two marquee signings every season to improve the first team, levy buys multiple average players who barely improve the squad. He has never and will never pay the big money for rueben Diaz and instead will give Jose joe rodon, or pay sporting Lisbon’s asking price for Bruno and instead go for the cheaper option of lo celso. Liverpool weren’t flying when they paid Southampton’s asking price for vvd and within a few seasons they’ve won the lot. People wil say we can’t shop in the same market as the other big six teams but maybe because we have neglected our squad for the past 8 seasons and our scouting team are possibly the worst in the prem

Who sacks them? Why sack Poch? Jose?(!), Conte*. Conte is a winner. Why he doesn't work is when he isn't given what he wants. His words were the most poignant of all. Some managers know how to deal with superstars and not B teams. When faced with mediocrity some like Conte hit the wall and can go no further. Conte would have done wonders at United the past summer. He got to buy $250M in players. That whole team save Son and Kane should be wiped off. Start that by selling Kane immediately. Close it for $100M and GET GOING. Oh what's this? You have no manager to provide a vision and identity? After the Glazers, Levy will get the 'worst owner' accolade. EVERYONE I know agrees with Conte's words. Especially the Spurs fan. So Simon, do us a favor already.

[@MradArawak71]

Simon talks so much BS! Big words can't hide Levy's failure over the years and he has turned spurs into a laughing stock.

Exactly. Earlier Simon was saying Tottenham need a Klopp type of manager, who can do well on a tight budget, etc. But Tottenham had one, Poch, but like you said, Levy didn't back him. If Josef Stalin owned a football club, Simon would be defending him too. It's just ridiculous.

[@terryplows4432]

Conte was spot on...

[@chrissmith6495]

...and the talkSPORT Nose Pick of the Day Award goes to Simon Jordan. Not easy to win as there's always lots of competition.

[@dabu8701]

Ed Woodward got the heat for the failure of Man Utd over the last decade as the main constant when they had multiple managers Surely the same premise should apply to Daniel levy, he’s overseeing everything at spurs despite the chop and changing of managers 🤷‍♂️

[@FRESHNESSSSSS]

Kate with some decent points at the end which they just ignored

[@DEKINSPORT]

grate discussion 💪

[@bareknuckles2u]

"Unequivocality...intenable"... great stuff!

[@FreshAlchemy]

Simon loves making up words, he's so clever 😂 He's also mastered the art of the malapropism!

[@Ajs_1988]

Simon sounding like a complete drip here.. keeps going back to conte, what about the other 15 or 16 managers he's failed. Didn't back poch when he was this close, didn't sign a player for 3 windows. Sacked jose a week before a final, to save money incase he sacked him! Sacked harry redknapp just because he was linked with England .. ego! The bloke is a brilliant businessman but micro manages every aspect of the club including the football side .. and he's failed at every turn! Levy Out!

[@bloodshotk]

Jose and Conte, the biggest managers in European football who have won almost everything in Europe and apparently they're both in the wrong. Simon believes Levy has been totally honest and told these managers that he will give them everything they want for them both to come out and openly criticise the way the clubs run. Grow up Simon.

[@TommyDJr45]

I agree that the players have gotten a pass, but I don't understand his Conte stance. Conte left and had them in 4th, if anything he should be applauded despite how you may feel about his tactics. Blame him for what? overachieving? lol

[@royferguson2297]

Conte was 2000% right about the team and the club he trained them all week and then they went and played a different way. Mr know all should take into account he lost three good friends and had Major surgery. Conte in a winner why would you want to stay will a group of millionaires who have no balls, no fight and no interest in anything but their bank account. And I would put money on Kane being the selfish one, 65 plus direct free kicks and one goal what has that cost us.

[@FreshAlchemy]

100% is the maximum I'm afraid.

[@leedavis6000]

Gone through more mangers then I’ve had Sunday dinners. Nothing to do with levy thou. Quite embarrassing for the honest talking Simon jordan

[@praiseayobamiabraham1219]

Levy sacked Mou the eve of a final😂😂😂 he definitely just doesn't want to win.

[@Tarek_ElMaddah]

I agree with Simon. The caller Kate was very logical too.

[@albertbrammer9263]

In the last 25 seasons, Spurs have had 13 full-time managers. Levy has been in post for 22 of those seasons. He is also the highest paid guy at that position. Put two and two together.

[@waynewayne2472]

the hardest thing with the spurs job is that you have had 6 or 7 transfer windows of Mourinho & Conte signings which arent very attacking, look at how many poor defenders, defensive midfielders and hard working wing backs they have for the 3 - 4 -3 style . it will take a lot of unpicking

[@purehyperbole5727]

I used to think that agents were the biggest chancers in the game. The football managers are gaining ground on them.

[@colinturner4158]

Conte highlighted part of the problem which as not been addressed since poch

[@user-fo9hs9ep8g]

Conte's 📸 used here is selected by Levy's mate 😀

[@phildemetriou440]

Odd how Jim 'argues' with SJ when it's just the two of them, but ALWAYS sucks up to him when there's another person in the studio 😁

[@davidoboyle4001]

Martin keown especially gets a hard time 😂

[@rhysjaggar4677]

Maybe people think there may be a trade sale in the not too distant future and they don't want to be the choice of the outgoing owners?

[@garypipe1770]

I think there are certain questions that need to be asked 1: Do Spurs spend enough money? A: Yes, they have spent plenty. Problem has been recruitment. 2: Will a new owner solve the problems? A: Potentially but it wouldn't be a quick fix. If a new owner comes in it will more than likely take many years of good decisions before you realistically compete for trophies regularly. 3: How much blame needs to be put on players? A: Huge amount of blame. These are good players no doubt but the performances have been abysmal. Attitude has been a massive problem. 4: Are the fans expectations unrealustic? A: 100% yes and I blame the media for that. They have lied to you by classing you as part of the "Big 6". You haven't won enough trophies in your recent history (Last 20 Years) to be in the same category as City, Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal. 5: Can you compete with the big teams in the transfer market? A: Not properly no. If elite players have a choice between Spurs and Utd for example they will choise Utd everytime as they have a much higher profile than spurs do.

[@blankeon6613]

Conte is right. Tottenham are not playing for trophies, they are content with being mediocre. Levy would rather not take any risks but risks are required to change Tottenhams mediocrity... New ideas and expensive players.

[@BarnesyHK]

Steve Hitchen was the main person responsible for buying Ndombele. He really pushed it, not Levy.
