January is a difficult window though and we can't allow ourselves to be held to ransom. Probably better to keep our powder dry before attacking the Summer Market with gusto. We'd do well to remember, signing footballers isn't like buying a pint of milk from the local corner shop. Remember what happened to Leeds and Portsmouth? I'm sure our squad will step up to the plate for the rest of the season. And we'd all much rather finish 6th and win nothing doing it the right way than finish 4th and winning silverware by spunking our wealth on the squad. "Don" Levy knows what he's doing, guys. As always, he has the long term interest of the club at heart.

It's been 23 years and we still have mugs that believe this shit.
I love the sarcasm John. Nice one

Umm... ?
What?

We did not SOLD SHARES. If shares are sold, shareholders e.g owners change and money will go from future owner to past owner.
We had equity injection. Which meant that existing owners put the money into the club. Without ownership changing. Fundamentally different transactions.

That’s what has been said by ENIC supporters That it wasn’t an injection from Lewis but a 1.9% increase of ownership generating £150m

Either way it’s £150m of which £100m has been spent

It's easy to blame Levy here, he has been guilty in the past, but Paratici's role is to negotiate the deals.

lol. Paratici the puppet has no control over shit.

Levy has and always will have the final say on everything. The DOF is little more than an agent who recommends players under Levy, waits for Levy to say yes or no and then closes the deal once it is agreed upon, that's it.

Levy is a megalomaniac and everyone knows it.
 
As tempting as it is for once doesn’t seem Levy can be blamed for this one.

However…. I will say I still don’t think his reputation helps us at all as this is the type of stunt he is renowned for when it comes to selling our players hence over clubs hating/refusing to deal with us.
 
Does the club really think we're stupid enough to believe the crap it peddles?

Sure there are some children that lap it up but anyone that uses their head for more than a hatstand can see what a farce this club is
 
Romano seeing a second 'here we go' transfer fall apart in a week.

If we sign Porro I hope all those who have piled in here offer an apology.

If of course we don't I will happily offer my angst towards what would seem a lot of wasted energy as it should not happen.

Bit instead of relying on Twitter let's wait and see.

Ultimately if course, Porro and any player have to then do whatever it is we think we are buying. That of course brings a whole other set of hindsight-related rubbish

If we buy Porro then i still dont think we'll have done anywhere near enough for a club that needs 5 or 6 first team players and should be selling 12 or 13.

Yes, and they’re not wrong. Look all over this website, or any other place where Tottenham is the subject and it’s still v much 50/50 as to whether ENIC are good or bad for the club.

Wouldn’t call them children, just people who desperately want to believe ENIC/Levy are better than they are partially bc of what can best be described as Stockholm Syndrome but also bc realising what our owners are and how much they’ve held us back (even if they have undeniably done good things for the club) is far too painful and to some extent makes supporting the club feel empty when you finally accept that we won’t get to experience nice things/moments not out of some curse, or the game being rigged or whatever but purely bc the club itself or at least the way it operates is fundamentally broken.
