I'll be honest, I'm kinda mystified. You post pics of Lewis's yacht (as though it means anything), constantly go on about enic only being in it for the money, posted some utterly irrational crap in the stadium thread, constantly go on about how Spurs you are..but would have supported taking away the clubs identity and what little is left of its soul.
I'll try and clarify my position for you then. As we're in the wrong thread, ill be brief.
I think ENIC
are in it for their own long term profit. There is a clue in their name and what they are. Thats why, IMO, they under invest in the team, but readily invest in the infrastructure such as the stadium and corporate facilities etc..I dislike and don't trust the NFL connection, and im concerned that should a franchise be granted in London, its ENICs aim to place it in Tottenham, relegating THFC to secondary tennants of the stadium.
In the meantime it's their intention to keep us competitive, but actually winning silverware is of little relevence or importance.
I also think the clubs inability to sign a single player to improve our team in the summer is fucking scandelous, especially following on from the clubs announcement to charge the highest football season ticket prices the world has ever seen, and my tongue-in-cheek references to Joe's yacht is a simple reminder that we have a supra-billionaire owner, happy to invest in his own personal luxury, but unwilling , like other rich owners, to invest a single pound of his tax free wealth in to the football team I love and support. Had he and ENIC done so, I'm conviced we would not have gone through the most barren 2 decades in the clubs history.
This is my view. I know many disagree, but a sizeable minority are also disillusioned with the lack of investment in the squad and worried about the Owners long term intentions. I am not the only one.
I would not have enthusiastically, wholeheartedly, supported moving the club to Stratford, as you seem to be inferring . It wouldn't have been a preferred option. But it was not going be the athletics stadium it is now. It would have been a football stadium for Tottenham Hotspur and I would still have supported my team had we moved there.
I said at the time, and I was in a minority, that keeping Spurs in Tottenham was not as important to me as getting a new stadium a club as big as us deserved. Especially as the vast majority of our fans, even match going fans, don't live there.
Much like Aston Villa would not limit themselves to the Aston area of Birmingham, or Everton are moving from the Everton district of Merseyside, unlike most, I did not see the necessity of Spurs remaining in the Tottenham area of North London. I know most on here slaughtered me for it, but I wanted to to see us get the stadium we deserved before falling too far behind our competitors, and at the time it looked like Tottenham (the area) was never going to happen.
These are my views, not popular I know, at least on here they're not, but there you have it.
