Not saying Jose was perfect, Nuno was perfect or Conte is perfect. But 16 managers in 21 years says a lot. The ownership is rotten. Spurs were on the Cusp of a great team 5 years ago and Levy failed to invest.

United and Spurs getting closer to a deal in Alderweireld talks. Levy dropped to £60mil but United only want to pay £50. Compromise should be reached. Martial not and won’t be part of the deal.
