Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

been saying this for a long time Levy invested £100M in 2 players that never produced anything and now worth maybe £40/50M plus his paid the wages so its cost Him around £80M
Levy won't want to trust a manager & "DoF" with that much money again
I assume Hitchen was the DoF at the time so I don't understand why Levy hasn't got rid of him

More likely it just proved him right. I remember in Poch’s book it detailed about how he and levy didn’t envisage spending £60m on a player because getting it wrong was a huge deal for the club. That’s why I was surprised when they spent so much on Ndombele after reading that it was something they’d never do. Maybe levy did it to reward Poch for the CL run so it was a one off? Or maybe he let his guard down for a second. Like you say though, he won’t do it again except is special circumstances. Maybe Conte getting champions league this season would be it, who knows?

Morning all!

Here's a nice surprise for you all, it's that time of the transfer window again.

HAVE YOU DONATED THIS MONTH/YET/AT ALL?

As you all know, SC relies on your donations to be able to provide a unrivalled coverage of ITK, if it wasn't for you guys, the server would crash left right and centre and we simply couldn't afford to run it without resorting to limiting the number of members or something

We know from previous experience that there's a LOT of you who lurk, one time we had 600 voters participate in a poll.

Six bloody hundred. And that's just the yokes who bothered voting. Whichever way you slice it that's a lot. If everyone slung just three or four quid in the pot we'd be sorted for quite a while, so if you've never donated before, please consider doing so now.

I reckon we've a shedload of lurkmeisters, so come on guys, if you're one of them and you enjoy SC's coverage of the Transfer Window (and lets face it, you do because you're here right?), then please chip in. It doesn't have to be a massive amount.

And if you happen to be a Spurs mad gazzillionaire, cough the fuck up. And if you're Daniel Levy, fucking hell shortstuff, put your hands in your pockets. And get the BSoDL to chip in too.

But A&C, where does the money go?

Outgoings: The server costs £400 per month. Forum software purchases/licenses/misc comes to around £500 a year. So currently, the cost of SC is about £5k a year.

Incomings: Advertising/Affiliates can sometimes cover the costs during the transfer window (January, July, August) but thats sometimes. The rest of the year that falls well short. Its difficult to give an exact figure because the numbers don't stay the same but i'd say £100 a month during the quiet months. Donations during the quiet months come to about £50pm if we're lucky.

Rob will know better than I do, but I reckon we're short by about £2500 a year. And the income from ads is probably down.

If one month we raise more than is needed, it stays in the pot as it won't be long before it IS needed. The shortfall is made up out of Robs pocket. I'll repeat that.......It comes out of his pocket. Think about that for a minute. I reckon he pays an average of £50 a WEEK. Just so you lot can abuse each other :D

This is why i'm often cajoling, nudging, outright begging and open to bribery during the transfer window. It's when the most of you are about and our last big donation drive raised enough to cover costs for a couple of months or so.

Any excess raised stays in the pot until its needed when donations/income goes right down. Absolutely nothing goes on anything other than SC's running costs. Well, occasionally the odd prostitute

Instead of doing a “Leeds “ and going all in on champions league or bust perhaps doing a “Tottenham “ will mean not investing when qualification is within your grasp and only a couple of players are required in n this window.

We don’t want to do a Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City , Leicester, even bloody Woolwich have won a few FA cups recently.
That is the reality under Levy’s stewardship
