They've built a decent mid table side who are struggling with injuries and confidence.
The expectations off the pitch are of a CL side, but they just aren't. On the pitch they try to play like a CL side but don't have the players and end up paying the price.

Ironically, now is the time they could do with Moyes as their manager.
TBH I do think Zirkzee and Hojland are pretty bad. Way below the standard needed. One of Ten Hag's worst qualities was his dreadful talent spotting and massively overpaying for it at the same time. He did far more damage off the pitch than on it TBH. Almost everyone he bought was a bad buy in one way or another which is just a death knell. Talent spotting is so key. Man City and Liverpool have been so good because they've hit on the vast majority of players they've signed in the last decade. Particularly big money signings. Klopp absolutely nailed it retooling his midfield and replacing Mane and Firmino. 
Us and Man U have albeit for differing reasons, recruited so so poorly for the last couple of seasons.
Not that it concerns me unduly, but Ten Hag worked with Onana and Antony before sanctioning their purchases at a combined £140m, and he didn't fancy Kudus 
It's staggering isn't it. Add to the other Dutch or Eredivisie players he seemed to almost exclusively go after shows huge question marks over judgement.

And over 100 million for Hoijland and Zirkzee. Jesus wept. Clubs and agents must have loved a phone call from Ten Hag even more than one from Sullivan.

I think they've brought bad karma on themselves by sacking the tea ladies and cancelling the staff fry up.

The trouble is, the Ferguson era spoiled them and now they think they can get that season after season but the facts are, they are no fucking better than we are and we're fucking shit.

I'll never forgive them for letting them N17 cunts win that.

CUNTS!

Yeah, it's really similar to us.

Another thing that's, somehow, worse there is their ownership situation.

They have a tougher summer than us coming up. If they are in as much financial trouble as suggested they will have to sell half their squad- at least the ones they CAN sell. They’ll take a hammering on a load of the shit ten hag overpaid on and to compensate they’ll have to get rid of their actual talent. If they sell Fernandes they are proper fucked. 
Amorim is definitely paying some of the price for the bald ones follies but he’s not been able to get a tune out of them at all. It’s remarkably similar to our situation.

Amorin is under massive pressure now. CL entry would have been huge for them and a possible game changer, now they looked fucked. The only thing that might save him is changing managers (again) very likely won't make any difference.

"If the board and the fans want me out I will go tomorrow, without any conversation about compensation" is (roughly) what Amorim said after the defeat.  

I have a lot of respect for that and a shame more managers don't share his sense of pride/ethics.  I find it ridiculous that if we want rid of Potter we have to give him x million despite him performing poorly at his job.  Why do football clubs agree to such things?

You really do post utter bollocks 
Since when do spurs and Manure influence us?One of them will be in the champions league and we aren't even the conference league so different level of income 
Sullivan will spend within the financial rules not what those two clubs do
Is this another start of one of your conspiracy theories? 
The man is an absolute pillock, who is also obsessed with Sullivan. Got a feeling he secretly admires him though, as he achieved so much more in business than Oxsaw did.

What worries me now is what kind of players Potter is going to be able to lure here in the next few months 
That's a good point actually. Even if we had shit loads of money to spend, which we don't, who the fuck is going to be chomping at the bit to play for him after his recent awful audition and his well publicised Chelsea failure? 
Yea, nobody will sign for us because the manager failed at Chelsea. You desperate fucking cսnt. Why do you feel the need to post 10x a day that you don't like him? Sick of you spamming this board up with your repetitive, look at me drivel. As said, you would have been hounded off of here years back with all your attention seeking and repetitiveness.
Even KUMB got sick of him and fucked him off. That alone should be an instant ban.

Our spending will have nothing to do with spurs or Manchester United. They are completely out of our league financially.

PSR will dictate what we spend. Flogging Kudus, Aguerd and Alvarez will help.

Player recruitment is going to be an issue with Potter in charge for the reasons mentioned already IMO, i just hope we don't go all in for someone like KDB (fantastic player or WAS) on silly wages with the club bigging them up as a "marquee signing" even though they are well past it and injury prone, but lets face it we do have from for this kind of signing, just hope he fucks off to Saudi so Sullivan can't try and lure him.

Hopefully we can target and attract up and coming talent from championship clubs or even Div 1 rather than cast offs from bigger PL sides or Johnny foreigner on an earner, fully expecting us to be linked with a whole host of them from clubs in Europe and players most of us will have never of heard of or seen play🤷‍♂️

Its going to be long shit summer for us long suffering fans and as much as i look forward to August and the new season im not sure we will see much improvement with PE teacher Mr Potter in charge, but the 3 new boys should make going down difficult, but don't put anything past our lot to find a way🤣

Would love to be wrong BTW and top 8 here we come but think that will remain in the fantasy part of my head!!!!
