It is silly when people compare it to themselves & say if it were me I'd be happy with 10k a month.

You are actually not far off though. He's not stumped up any cash (as I said before this simply doesn't happen in business) but he has acted as a financial guarantor to the banks that we have borrowed money from to get the stadium built without a Naming rights partner to finance it from the get go. I'm not patting him on the back BTW, I expect such things from our owners. I'm also hugely cautious at dishing out too many complements to our owners at this stage as there are so many ways we can be fucked by him/them should he wish to sell (it's a corporate minefield webb of companies that have been set-up at Tottenham that could all the set up as a means of extracting money out of the club, so need to see how things pan out over the next few years before the Champagne corks let fly).
So, the way that things should be is that we need to increase our revenue to compete, they only meaningful way to do this was to build a stadium to drive those revenues. This is what is being done, this is sustainable and it's for the long term future of the club. All this could have been done 10 years ago when our average league position was something like 11th, but I bet us fans would be just as excited as we are today about what the future might be ahead for us. Think back to West Ham fans, this was their dream too and they believed it. The difference is today we happen to be one of the best sides in Europe, this year we will find out just how good. Very few players will want the leave a team that is as good as ours, in fact we can attract some of the best players to us, in fact players are choosing to join us over Chavs, Woolwich and Liverpool, this hasn't been the case for at least 20yrs.
I completely agree Poch is the key and really the only real worry we should have as supporters but even here I have supreme confidence that Poch is a man of his word, I think he will at least see out his contract. Everything about him, pre-Spurs and whilst he has been here with his actions and ethos at least support my confidence. I also get the feeling Spurs also see this too, they wouldn't have offered him a new deal, he's been given the keys to the football side of things and he's our longest serving manager for 30 odd years. It's clear to me that he's worth a multi-million pound package, far more so than any individual player.
Oh for god sake man come on. Yes I seeked and was sent on anti racism courses over a long period of time , which I’m sorry that I had to go on one but I did and feel fully rehabilitated. But I will not apologise for having a sense of humour however dark it is. And yes if you had suggested bringing Barry Bennell along I would have laughed. As I did when I read your post
Maybe It’s you that has sexual tendencies for children?Unless of course he is a nonce as well as a racist cunt. he certainly got very defensive when I said he was on par with a pedo.
Refusing to pay for one of the best CB is insane. This is astonishing. I know Levy is smart with money and money tied up in the stadium but if he’s not willing to pay for a star then this team will implode. We have so many players that should be getting paid this. Just sad reading these reports.
I doubt he'd be that unprofessional, but then again Liverpool fans probably thought the same about Coutinho before his "back injury" so idk.
Being in negotiations is the complete opposite of refusing to pay.
Davies, Mendy (he's hurt), Alonso, Monreal.. don't know about other teams
Levy brought us to where we are now. I trust him just like i trust Poch.
Does anyone believe Poch when he a says doesn't got involved in negotiations? Even if it's Levy on the phone saying "He's breaking our balls, how important is he to your team?".
No, he's a little fibber. He's 100% involved.
He's already partnered with one of the best centre backs in world football. I'm sure he'll do just fine
The manager will have a major say in who stays and who goes,Levy knows what side is bread is buttered Poch hasn't done much wrong since he's been in charge,OK Sissoko aside things have gone a lot better than anyone expected and that's down to the chairman and the manager working together and long may it continue and if one or the other makes a decision and its agreed and doesn't fuck up the team playing the way they play then fine make the decisions....
Him and Jezuz will definitely be involved, just easier to say he doesn't get involved or comment on rumours all the time.
Too be fair, we don't know what he is asking for, I really hope we don't lose him but I totally understand that we can't compete with wages from other teams. If we give him 200k a week, Jan, Erickson, All and Kane all want that... we pay about what we should in wages compared to our income apparently, hopefully with the new stadium, NFL games, probable rebranding of the stadium and constantly getting into the champions league will change that soon.

As you say we are not in the new stadium yet, our revenues are rising. Why would Levy make a final offer at this stage of the season. Does not make sense. Different matter at the end of the season.
I went to Virgin a few years ago and got BT for free and don't have sky anymore apart from sky sports. Can't say I miss it that much.
Helped by BT's really good EL & CL coverage
Thats not the fucking point though is it. We are moving to a huge capacity new stadium (i know), where our fans will be asked to pay hugely expensive ticket prices. We deserve to see our best players playing for our club. Not sold to another club that appreciates his true value.
Davies ? Behave yourself . Why is it that guardiola, mourinho and conte are all after Danny rose and not Davies then ? You know something they dont I take it ?
How do you know they're after Danny Rose?
There was no bid in January.
Talking nonsense.
Agree. Have agood WC and most top clubs would want him and a massive deal would present itself .
Does anyone else think this is just the usual bollox sprouted by the media, along with the likes of Kane , dele and eriksen all to be sold before the year is out?
I think negotiations will have been put on hold until we know where we stand re CL and the stadium being ready, once this is confirmed I believe contract negotiations will start!
So let’s all chill, Toby is the best CB in Europe, Poch and levy know that! He will see out his career at spurs!
(I reserve the right to melt if any of the above proves to be incorrect come the summer)
