I get all that. He's earned a lot of leeway (I still have great respect for him unceremoniously dumping redknapp on his arse).
What I don't get is the unquestionable reverence for him. This summer is clearly more than "making a mistake" and more in "pooling the wool over the eyes" territory, yet lots of spurs fans were performing strong mental gymnastics to convince themselves that wasn't the case, rather than asking fair critical questions. By the end of the window it was so bad, I reckon a lot of spurs fans would have considered the window a success if you had signed Grealish. No window is a succes if all you sign is jack fecking Grealish. And you didn't even get that.
I would have loved signings but at the end of the day every team bar Liverpool struggled, I have seen us spunk millions on shit, I’m glad we didn’t sign anyone if they weren’t going to improve us. The transfer window and the media warps people’s idea of what’s important and just wants signings for the sake of signings. Look at the window in perspective and to do that we need at least 5-10 games. We have a settled squad, no one being linked away, no unrest I’m content that we can compete this season.
