The Official Tottenham Hotspur Thread [Vol 7]

[blindswelledrat]

You gloating bd. Have a nice time.
Now it's the close season I quite like the idea of turning this thread into an irrelevant bragging thread.
I need to finish this post quickly because I desperately need the toilet and Ive yet to assemble the team to help me carry goliath to the urinal

I wonder if he bit so he becomes unsellable (for now) and cant move away from his beloved LFC?

That circumstance may at least shut BCM up. Every cloud and all that!

Just proves i was right all along about the fellow .

Pounds, Sterling

Selling Palacios, Crouch and Livermore for a combined fee of £28m is just incredible. For all his flaws at running a football club, he really is a world class businessman.

Whilst I think any football fan would be happy to hear their club had received £8m for Livermore - I think generally because any football fan would then think, great, £8m more to spend on new players. Whilst we all know the £28m you speak of, maybe some of that will be used to buy new players, while half of it will be going straight into Levy's pocket.

Be fair jammy they've got to surface the Lidl car park. That doesn't come cheap.

Spurs are in profit for the last decade from transfer deals, whilst being one of the top spenders in the premiership. I'd call that clever stewardship.

I don't think its ever clever to sell your best players every summer.

Look at the upside. You don't have to pay for or maintain a big trophy cabinet. All that dusting takes a lot of work.

They would be the flaws I was referring to, yes.

Whilst you don't want your club to be in debt or have to go bankrupt all of that as a fan of club is really pretty irrelvant to you... you pay to watch your team entertain you...

I think it's more about the foreign investment that's come in to the Premier League. Everyone seemed OK when it was British families and businessmen pumping money into clubs, not so much when it was rich Russian and Arabian oil barons!
