PLEASE HODDLE AND LEVY SPEAK TO THE FANS

It’s all about acknowledgement and assurance! Many will think this response is yet another knee jerk reaction you get after a spurs defeat (its almost customary now). Others may say that we shouldn’t be questioning Hoddle today, as he should have been replaced months ago.

Some are in support of Hoddle yet blame the board for their lack of support and financial backing. Whatever your opinion the fact that we are continually having this discussion, proves one thing, that we are not entirely happy with the current situation.

What ever your stance you cannot say that Tottenham Hotspur have performed well this season. We may not have gone backwards (although some may see it going this way), but we most certainly have not made big strides forward.
Whilst I have said before we need patience, I’m certainly starting to question whether Hoddle has what it takes.
That’s why we need some reassurance and quickly.
Firstly before reassurance the fans need some acknowledgment of our situation. We need to know that the Board and the manager have identified problems and are looking to resolve these. We need evidence that Glenn Hoddle realises that certain players are not good enough for the club and we want evidence that the club are going to make changes.


That is why they need to come out and publicly acknowledge what these are. After this has been done we then need assurances
Fans don’t want to hear about players we almost signed, we want action and we want it quickly.
So it is about time Hoddle and Levy made a public statement apologising for the sorry state of affairs at White Hart Lane. It is about time they publicly state that the current team does not have what it takes for us to move us forward. How can Hoddle persist with the same players over and over again who clearly do not cut the mustard? I want to hear what Hoddle and Levy have to say about the situation.
I want to hear what they have to say separately in order to gauge their personal opinions on this matter. It’s about time the club gave us answers, as this is the least we deserve. These issues are dividing the fans and are not making the club the harmonious place it once was.
The club are allowing us to become an embarrassment to our rival clubs and many are not prepared to stand for it any longer.

So Tottenham I have some questions for you.

Why do we have so many injuries year in year out?
Why does Glenn persist with the same players who obviously do not make the grade?
Why is it that certain individual’s lack enthusiasm when wearing our colours?
Why do we not use youngsters when the opportunity is there for all to be seen?
Is Mr Levy happy with the performance of Spurs this season?

But the question I would most like the club to answer is a simple one,

Does Glenn Hoddle really feel that Bunje has warranted a place in the team in every game this season?

…. If the answer is Yes then PLEASE Mr LEVY he is not a celebrity so GET HIM OUT OF HERE!

Again if you have any questions I strongly advise you to email these to the club. Feel free to forward mine.
