he's spent big.
You've got too much time on your hands my friend
Le Normand too small to play with Romero.
Stan Kronke never gave much of a shit about Woolwich. His son Josh on the other hand last few years has been very public and very driven to push them on.
It would the equivalent of Levy stepping back and letting his son take over and his son at least talking the talk about winning things then really letting the credit card loose.

Well Levy isn't the majority owner, it's more like Lewis finally kicks it, it goes to his daughter, and she decides to loosen the purse strings.
Well if she did wouldn’t that be fun.
Can't say I'd mind it!
But we are never going to spend like that and spending like that doesn't guarantee trophies.
Spurs, whether you like it or not, need a different approach.
We need spend wisely on world class targeted purchases, but we also need to maximise the use of some of the best youth development training facilities in the country and bring more of our youth players through.
We simply can't afford to spend the end of the Earth every year and clubs that can do this are destroying the heart of football for leagues across the world.
There is literally no point comparing us to Woolwich they have a different model so they can do what they want for all I care. I care about what Spurs do and how we are run.
Levy does spend a lot of money on players, the problem is, it is mainly players he thinks he can make a profit on, or cheap bargains that just don't suit us at all or the manage will never play and it's wasted £100's of millions over the years, that could have been spent on players we actually needed it.
Of course, not every "targeted" purchase will work out, nothing is 100% perfect and Levy has brough in players the manager wants, but with a good scouting team and good DoF, you will get more hits than misses and making us challenging and reaping the financial rewards of CL and Europe more often and not.
A long-winded reply, but simply putting it, running the club properly will yield far better results than simply throwing money at it.
So you think Tonali gave his okay to move to Newcastle before they contacted Milan and later changed his mind, breaking down in tears?“Bids always come officially from the club, but very often now if we or a club want a player, they will talk to an agent first and agree personal terms, otherwise it’s just a wasted bid and a waste of everyone’s time. If the player’s not interested then what’s the point?“
If a players not interested what’s the point?
So, we know from a direct quote Bastoni said there were talks and then the clubs started talking price.
What would the point have been talking to Inter if the player wasn’t interested? In fact, transfers just aren’t done that way….
Sorry guys but if this description of the way transfers actually work doesn’t pop your bubble and lift the fog on the PR to cover for a failed transfer, nothing will.

Got it.
She might want to sell.
That's if every club did the same. But they don't. Running the club properly will yield good financial results but won't make the club successful on the pitch.
Agree, but our scouting is horrid and has been for nearly 10 years now. Also we don't seem to find a good DoF that hangs around for more than a couple of years
Agree
So what is their model?
A serious football club
Quick google gave me the Express (yeah Iknow) but
Arsenal have spent £186m more than Man Utd under Arteta as Rice and Timber join
Woolwich's capture of Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber will solidify their status as the Premier League's biggest net-spenders under Mikel Arteta.www.express.co.uk
Before anything else they spend, Timber meant they had the highest net spend in the prem since Arteta arrived.
665m quid outgoing.
I've provided a breakdown on multiple occasions.... Until this season they have not hit 200m net euro.... Let alone pounds.... Let alone it bring bonafide Konke money.
(See TFM)
Up until this season; we had been.
(Figures also previously yprovided courtesy of TFM)
Wage bill since new stadium opened only 20m pounds higher too.
(On phone now so fk going diggingall over again..... Just highly aggravating seeing people spinning untruths bigging up the scum.,)
Focus on the genuine failings - scouting and strategy - rather than manufacturing red herrings people.
Tonali is further evidence that Bastoni could have happened.
So Chelsea and Assanal are allowed to do business on Sundays?
Their spending this summer blows Levy out the water.
He's a minnow swimming with the sharks and the stadium changed nothing.
Compelling degree of info here.
