Nostradamus made up so many rumours that some were bound to happen, it's just people forget the ones that didn't. same with ITK. Just educated guesses

Personally think it's easy to make shit up like this. Lets highlight a couple of top senior players that are less reliant on us turning them in to top players:
Toby
CE
Lloris
Jan
Now lets make out most of the youngsters are grateful but these more senior players have less patience. What could they be losing patience with?
- Wanting more cash whilst they can earn it
- A chance to win something whilst they can
Now it stands to reason if we fail to perform, win something or offer more money they may decide they need to move on. This isn't ITK, it logical.
So players, agents, clubs have protracted contract discussions, what's new there? Everyone is pushing for the best deal they can get, have you ever bought a house? How long do those discussions go on for?
Now would a manager like players in as early as possible so they have time to condition and integrate them? For sure, does it mean our manager isn't ok to wait as he understand the situation (which is what he has said) for weeks?
It's just utter garbage.
Well I would have abandoned the club for moving to Stratford.....not so much abandon, but despair at my club no longer existing.I am not sure fans would do as you suggest but I agree entirely with your sentiment.
Human beings are by their very nature selfish and we all want the best so my view is that unless FIFA or the Premier League or maybe Governments impose monetary controls (wage caps, FFP, or whatever) football will kill itself.
It just cannot be right that a player can cost 200 million pounds, with the immoral wages to boot, or that players like Rose and others can bemoan poverty.
BUT, Rose, Neymar and all those other players and us posters are symptons and not causes of the megalomaniacs and the obscenely rich.
I just would welcome a return to a semblance of normality and a couple of signings at sensible and sustainable valuations.
We have been customers, well I prefer consumers, for the entirety of the Premier League era...and yes, that includes Spurs fans as well to a degree.I'm not blaming posters for what happened but I am saying that this modern cumstained fan culture has played a massive part in the current situation.
PSG fans should have walked out on their club the moment it was bought by a country. Too many of them lapping up the "next level" though and lauding a 200M pound signing to their rivals online etc.....disgusting
The fans have accepted what the money men wanted them to become.

If we "do a City" I'm out.
I don't expect everyone to do the same, but don't talk about modern football and then turn up and cheer Qatar FC.
Of course but everyone should have a limit.We have been customers, well I prefer consumers, fro the entirety of the Premier League era...and yes, that includes Spurs fans as well to a degree.

Insurance paid for some of that at least, tbf
Woolwich?Of course but everyone should have a limit.
FC Utd fans might be hated by lower league purists and called hypocrites but we all have a level which that line crossing becomes relative.
The good thing about Levy is that he will do it his way no matter what.
The club comes before any player and any manager and he will see his vision through to the bitter end.
I will be there all the way supporting it, and if at the end, we become a club operating at 800M debt, playing in a library I will watch a smaller team for kicks.
All that shit that comes out on the O.S from the players is pure bullshit.
To be honest, that's the way it's been for most of your life as a fan. Certainly for the past thirty odd years. In the past few decades your Ledley Kings and Steven Gerrards have been a rarity so I don't see it as anything new. It's why I never support or idolise players these days. I support the badge and it's historical value for me.How can you feel part of something when you know 90% of the players want out or would leave given the opportunity?
No shit....All that shit that comes out on the O.S from the players is pure bullshit.

We are the Tottenham so fuck all the rest.
Bring it on all you muggy little cunts of other teams that think they have a 'project' because they spend £250mn every window. Traditionally small clubs like City & Chelsea who think spending more money than everyone else somehow makes them 'big'.
I broadly agree - would much rather have our model and compete than buying the league a la Chelsea / Man City.Well I would have abandoned the club for moving to Stratford.....not so much abandon, but despair at my club no longer existing.

If the sun is to be believed we will not be turning up to st James park on Sunday, all the players are so underpaid that they're going on strike until Levy agrees to pay them £200 fucking grand a week because we all know you can't live on less than that these days....
Heroes welcome my dogs arse!!
Just fuck off with your bullshit 'we've got nothing else to report on' tabloid trash
Turn up late, threaten to hand your notice in, and demand a pay rise
Jesus!
What a massive overreaction.
It's business. His business is football. If we win the league or a decent bit of silver wear And hell sign on again and everyone will forget the day he went fishing for a bigger pay packet.
What could make this summer even worse?
I know. Barcelona giving up with Coutinho and signing Eriksen instead.
