Now that's some revisionism. Where did all the "the stadium will pay for itself, it won't impact our ability to spend... quite the contrary!" posts go? I mean that's what we were told for years.Didn't we break our trf record in 17/18 too..... ?
....Add to him Serge, Lucas, Llorente, Foyth, Gazzaniga = 100m+
"Utter neglect".... Drama queen.
You were told we'd spend less whilst the stadium was being built..... No-one lied to you. Get over it.

I'm not senile. I do remember what was said 2 years ago unfortunately.
We weren't told there would be zero impact. It was said that regardless of us spending less we would still operate in the trf market and tend to the squad.
I think you've mis interpreted the notion of paying for itself.... In years to come as it generates higher income levels; yes.... But how do you figure it pays for itself during the building phase? That would be gibberish.....

Daniel Levy insists stadium cost does not affect Tottenham Hotspur’s transfer budget
Levy also denied that Nike were interested in the new ground’s naming rights.cartilagefreecaptain.sbnation.com
" “Daniel Levy said no. The fact that stadium costs had risen does not impact that number. Levy said that with a debt of £637m, subject to reasonable assumption on interest rates, the net spend on players would not be affected. There is a certain amount the club wants to invest in the team. If players are sold, that amount increases.” - 2019
Transfers safe despite rebuilding, Levy tells fans -2016
Be honest.
It’s times like this you realise something is fundamentally wrongLook at the team that lost to Portsmouth at Wembley, a relegated club in administration.
What a shit show that day was.
Don't change your argument now. You said no one ever said that the budget will be affected. Admit you were wrong please.How much were we spending circa 2016 > 2018 compared to before? We were pretty much consistent in our spending until the fabled 'year off. We then had a spend up the first season we got home.
....I'm sorry, i see little to be aggrieved over; but as I've always said - Show me cash being horded or taken out of the club and I'll join the riots

LOL - Airfixx logic 101 for you right thereBottom of the prem NET spend over 5 years weren't we ? I guess that means we earnt less money than Bournemouth and Burnley.

Levy says a lot of things I wouldn't believe most of it, this fella doesn't want to match the ambition of others simple as that.Daniel Levy insists stadium cost does not affect Tottenham Hotspur’s transfer budget

Come off it mate. He said it in 2016 so spending window should surely be something like 12-16? Not the 16-18 when we spent literally 0.My overall argument hasn't changed. I've made a number of comments to refute the notion of "utter neglect".
The comment you refer to (verbatum) was incorrect..... Sure, I'll concede that.
... However, I don't think we have significantly contradicted Levy's pledge as the belt tightening was already in action and we continued to wheel and deal and 'look for value' in a manner we had before. Sure, Neymar, Coutinho and 1 or 2 other deals hugely inflated the market, but we weren't splashing big money prior to 2016.
Any dip in spending spending felt negligible.... Especially as the whole 5 years of low net spend meme would effectively date between 14-19.
...So what really changed during that time frame?
we will always be perennial bottlers until we win something. no ifs or buts. and audi cup don't count
Who else is sick to death of being laughed at all the time ? The but of all football jokes somewhere along the line involves Spurs. Until we start winning trophies, we will forever be labelled as ultimate losers and to right, it’s bordering on pathetic now. Really pisses me off seeing all those Woolwich fans celebrating and it’s their right. I’m not complaining about them as such, but more to the fact that a shit Woolwich team can win 4 Fa cups in 6 years, yet one of the best Spurs sides in donkeys years can’t achieve or win a single dime. Infuriating supporting Spurs it really is.
