And it is all down to Levy.
Every purchase made under Conte was a decent one, if not a great one. They made money on all the big signings they made and could make more on the guys they still have that they bought.
Inter is "in trouble" because the owners have issues in their non-football businesses and changes in China.
I wish we could be so awful financially that we could buy players win the title and then sell them on for massive increases.
It is laughable to try and blame Inter's financial issues on Conte.

Good posts mate. However, it's all moot because apparently, with Levy running the show, the likes of Graham Potter don't want to come to Spurs. So no wonder Conte told us to do one.
He probably saw the lack of spirit in the squad as far back as the 3-0 Brighton win under Poch... not much has changed since then
Yes there was no chance that Levy was going to give up the control necessary to get a good manager let alone a great one like Conte. And there are legitimate reasons to have questions about Conte and his fit here but claiming he would demand too much money is not one of them.
Blame the person who coined it then or just accept you are on a English forum, supporting an English club and that you will hear English turns of phrase from time to time.
If I'd have meant Bankrupt, I'd have said "Bankrupt".
I didn't say it was "poor".
I didn't say it was "ridiculous" either.
Perhaps go and read back.
Not denying he's a good coach.
....Yet spends a lot regardless.
Again... Respond to what my post actually said please.
After backing him; couldn't he stay and fight alongside the players and fans.....?
The fire-sale wasn't as extreme as the media suggested it might be anyway.
Let's just ignore the financial effects of Covid on the league and club though, yeh?
Shiny buttons. :roll:
He moaned the moment his very first window closed.... After they'd barely kicked a ball!!!!
See above..... Moaning preceded the title..... They then spent big again the following summer; got 5th and left.
See above..... Stay on point please.
Not disputing he did a good job by winning the title.
See above..... You doing a particularly poor job here Iggy.....
No-one said he doesn't deserve credit for his titles.....
My only point here is that his spending demands would be beyond our reach.
Moot..... It's not a criticism; it's just what makes him out of reach for our revenue levels.
Get rafa in
I'm of the opinion, (and it sickens me), that the only realistic way forward is to allow the club to continue its slide until there is no more profit to be had. Then, and only then will ENIC lose interest and contemplate selling. Whilst we are in the PL and turning a modest profit, it's not going to happen. The worst thing about this is it will make our fans want to lose just to bring this about. What an awful predicament. Wanting your team to lose. Hateful I know but what's the alternative? These money grubbing leeches are going nowhere and money/land development are their ONLY real interests.
Announce Bezos! Let him know that for the price of one spaceshot, he can own the best football team in the world. And there's definitely a profit in that!
Nuno out.
My concern is that ENIC is making so much money outside of the club in real estate and putting on events, that they no longer need to worry about the decline of the football team. They already seem to have solidified their spot in the ESL and that is really where the big money is for them.
I think they would like to finish top 4 and get that CL money in but they have shown they are not willing to make the decisions to do that like other clubs do.
Charles Bronson not the actor but the psycho prisoner. Levy would only piss him off once, shit in his pants and sell up
And to think Erik ten Hag was turned down because he didn’t “interview” well....... ahahahah Levy more interested in PR managers, makes sense why he hired Nuno “wE gUnNa MaKe U pRoUd” Santo.
5 of the 11 that day started yesterday with a 6th on the bench
Lol, walk away from guaranteed trophies, Messi, money to come to Spurs
What on earth are people thinking.
Can you provide a link to the Ten Hag story. I heard we choose AVB because of how he interviewed. Odd way to choose a manager, it’s not a banking job, Klopp could be shit in interviews but I would take him anyway.
You could have been describing Jose in your last paragraph
If I recall correctly Romano has (also) said this, but it was denied by Gold or someone else idk.
Guy is indeed dull according to people in Holland but who the fuck cares?
Apparently BFS is mustard in interviews which was why he was appointed England manager
Surely the purpose of an interview is that you employ them if it feels right or don't hire them if it feels wrong.....?
Journalist explains how Erik ten Hag left Tottenham baffled in his interview before Nuno's arrival
At last, Tottenham have a manager. The club's lengthy search for José Mourinho's replacement is over, as Nuno Espírito Santo arrives.
Funny reading this tho'.... Amongst other things; apparently we were perplexed by him not wanting to bring his own backroom staff. Yet, apparently Conte wanting to bring his own scarpered derailed that deal.... Amazing the contradictory bollocks one reads in search of the truth innit.
