I am sure he would not feel the same sense of security operating under the control of ENIC and chairman Daniel Levy. Spurs have attracted some big names in the Levy era including Pochettino, Mourinho, Conte but they have very little to show for it in the trophy cabinet. Scott will be very much aware of the fact that you really do not get much time to make your mark at Spurs. Having achieved promotion to the EPL previously at Fulham and then Bournemouth he did not have any success whatsoever with those clubs in the top flight. He will I think want to do very much better this time around.
Good sound reasoning as usual Sir Outwood. I hope Scotty gets on board with it.
