Igula Igula pulling his teeth out as we speak
tommyboyspurs tommyboyspurs !....congratulations buddy. One of the outspoken minority arguing for this sort thing for years.


Take a bow, son. Take a bow

:adesalute:
 
I wonder if the additional monies include the amount to making the loans of Romero and Kulu permanent, or if it’s in addition to both?
I read this AM that we were going to defer on Deki’s permanent signing and accept the extra cost to defer in order to give us more flexibility.

Excellent news all around today. Saving a HG spot and signing a decent back-up keeper on a free. Let’s hope we get in our targets early. Poor Igula must be having a meltdown — probably looking for emotional support from his friends on Woolwich Mania.

as i said he is ty 100%

same moaning
 
OMG this £150m news is going to fuck a lot of people off who pretend to be Spurs fans on here.

:levywhoa::levywtf::conteshock:

(my one criticism is why announce this now and not just keep it quiet until we have spent it on transfers?)
They have to announce it, it would be pointless trying to do it on the quiet because other clubs would know because we would have to register the change in shares to companies house and the other share holder would have to be informed. The other reason for announcing it before Friday is they have a meeting with Conte and they need to show that they are going to invest which will tell him before the meeting he will be backed.
 
Yeah, there was a table a few months back with what limit clubs had on FFP and......i know this will shock you, we had the most money available before incurring any FFP penalties.
Sir Archibald Crooks Sir Archibald Crooks ! Another veteran of the cause, I believe.

Happy days, my friend

So 150m cash plus about 100m sales roughly that’s 250m war chest. Fucking hell

Own dream but

Eriksen - Free
Perisic - free
Bremer - £30m
Bastoni - £50m
Bissouma - £40m
DJ Spence - £15m
Kostic - £25m
nkunku - £60m
Martinez -£55m

The above is close to doable.

Fuck me that's ridiculous!

(I'm still totally lost on how the £1.7b loan/debt actually gets factored in).
I think this is why the deal hasn't yet been signed off on / ratified.
From what I understand, in public Abramovich has said he doesn't want any of the money back, but behind closed doors it's a different story. It's getting close to the 31/5 deadline for the expiry of their license. Must be nervy times for Chelsea fans I would have thought. A couple of weeks ago it all seemed like they had fallen in a bucket of shit and come out smelling of roses. The longer it drags on the more doubt must creep in.
 
Thank heavens for the relentless pressure applied to the board over the last couple of years guys.
In a world full of airfixx's, stevees, and shadydans we'd still be being urged to #BackNuno and be wary of doing a Leeds or Portsmouth.

Absolute vindication of the likes of myself and the numerous other posters who argued for years for our club to compete.

Must be a weird kinda of feeling for the doing things the right way brigade and the spending within our means cult

Join in the fun, boys. Come join the party.

LOL

you're unbelievable.

levy does something good in your eyes and you think it's because of you.

Piers Morgan logic.
 
£150m of £5bn. I'm not knocking it, but he's probably got that down the back of his sofa.

You should only ever gamble what you can afford to lose and not miss.
Ideally on a bet that could pay off with winnings that are worth winning.

I was absolutely convinced we'd beat Norwich 5-0 but the odds of 18/1 weren't tempting enough to me. To make it worthwhile I'd have had to stick £30 or £40 on it. I "could" afford that as a loss, but I'd rather not.

Then again, £720 would have been nice

I doubt very much that we’re bringing in nine and we’re certainly not bringing in both Martinez and Nkunku to a squad that already has Son, Deki and Kane. So, no I don’t think it’s remotely close to doable.

With due respect, this is how we set ourselves up for disappointment and then blame management for not meeting unrealistic, fairy-tale expectations.

It's such a bizarre situation. And it's not just about who gets it, it also affects the valuation.
 
I'm not sure why people are patting Levy on the back here. This is ENIC so more likely Lewis?

It increases their ownership of the club....it isn't going to please everyone once they've read the details of the release. Especially those who have called them leeches and accused them of sucking money out of the club but refusing to show where in the accounts.

I'm glad they've done it, but it is long overdue....also, remember it doesn't mean in the future they might not do it again too.
