You Brits should be happy that SC's main moderator, Archibald&Crooks, is keeping himself busy ruling his SC kingdom - which he rules like a twisted dictator, meting out punishment and creating new, stringent rules to exert his control and taking pleasure in "punishing" people. That guy seems to have severe issues! Stalinism comes to mind.
Imagine if he was a police officer or, even worse, a politician...and got into power 😁


A&C and Rob keep bragging about how many thousands of members that they have., little realizing that A&C has banned half of them and Rob the other half.

From what i see it's the same old, same old user names that post, then delete a post (in case they get banned) repost an edited version and then still get banned,

Those moderators are one bunch of cunts.

It’s a racket. They post their made up “ITK’s”, then they use their multiple fake member accounts to ask for donations. The best thing about that forum is to read when people are getting banned for calling them out.
 
Exactly for the 10th richest club in the world . £10m isnt a significant amount.
Ultimately Tottenham could structure the deal in a certain way so that the fee could be paid over multiple years or they could save £10m elsewhere. Or better off if we get that calibre of CB in we'll make up the £10m from prize money and European qualification

10 million quid isn't a significant amount? Well, its the same as Kane's salary for a year. It more than the prize money of the FA Cup and Milk Cup combined.
 
Can you give one example of the Spanish government "helping" Real Madrid, Barcelona or any other team for that matter?

Edit:

Link not working so I will post part of the article from Financial Times-

FC Barcelona and Real Madrid will be forced to pay back millions of euros in illegal state aid after the EU’s highest court ruled Brussels was right to declare that beneficial tax arrangements they enjoyed for a quarter of a century were illegal.
 
We all know that this bollocks saga of Romero will drag on, Levy wants it to. Just so at the end he can say he tried. In the meantime we still haven't cleared out half the shit in our squad that needs to be sold. This could fund at least another couple of defenders elsewhere. Can see another disastrous summer, followed by Levy glaring at Nuno wondering why he isn't winning the PL. Fuck off Levy and ENIC

Yep. Probably holding onto the dregs that need selling because we don't want to appear like we have a windfall coming.

So so proud.

:nunothumbs:
 
There are 9 league points to play for before the window shuts. Then just after the window shuts there's the 2 week international break. By that time we are looking at mid September before these new signings are potentially even training with the club. It's simply not good enough.
I honestly don't disagree, I'm just saying that I'm not surprised in the slightest if we don't have our business done before then. I can't think of a summer where we have done.

Either way: your question was about when we should melt down and all things considered I don't think we're there yet.
 
Jesus fucking Christ people are sensitive. I'm not saying don't spend the money.

I make one little comment about the fact that people throw around £5m like it's pennies and people shit their pants. Game has gone mad.
Because your wrong and 5m is pennies in this specific situation:
- We don’t have a centre back
- Atalanta don’t want or need to sell
- We’ve had a decade of careful spending and book balancing
- We are hurtling downwards and need significant investment to have a chance of competing

you’ve gone mad, not the game
 
I’m no Levy fan but surely Paratici is in the hot seat now when it comes to transfers and budgets. My understanding is that he has been allocated a sum to work within and that Levy is effectively stadium manager. Perhaps thats wrong or too simplistic but I think for now we should give Levy a break

Did you suggest the same regarding Davinson Sanchez?
 
Barca are almost a Billion in debt, that is why La Liga rules have been enforced. They're still listed as the richest club in the World.
Real also have money issues, they're third or 4th richest aren't they?

I'm not arguing about whether we have the money or not, I'm just sick to the back teeth of the rhetoric that because we're"10th richest" we must be awash with money.

The simple fact of the matter is that I have no idea how much money we have or what budget we have available for players, neither do you. So pedalling the "10th richest" as a reason for us to just pony up millions like it's pennies is sophistry.
This!

And it's peddling, by the way. :)
