Spurs are one of the most embarrisingly run clubs in England...

We had to give a player away last season because didn't know the rules properly on how many players we can loan out.

The club is an utter mess and is the only reason why Kane is leaving, he knows it.

And people wanting Levy to spend more money? On what? Levy best buys?

Like I said, running the club properly would yield better result than throwing money at it.

To be fair the targets we are linked with Tapsoba, VDV, Muani, Veiga I won’t complain if we get them.

Major issue with this club is each and every season we leave a big hole in the team, can be goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, attacker. Either way some additional spending should at least prevent that issue which always fucks us.

Won’t solve everything as you need vision to go with spending if you want to try to win titles.

We both fear it because we know how it's going to go.

Even those that are offering counter views, deep down, they know how this summer is going to end up as well.

Maybe, but we did get off to a good start, with some exciting players in.

I think it has been numbed a bit by the lack of movement in key area's like CB's.

And people know, the longer we leave it, the more difficult we make it for Ange to bed these new players in before the season starts.

Longer we leave it, the less likely teams are to get a replacement in time and will be less willing to sell players that are important to their team.

The only players that get cheaper as the window goes on, are players that clubs want to sell.

We need to give up hope of ever being on the level of the title contenders again.

Levy will never spend even half as much as Chelsea City United Scum Liverpool etc. even Newcastle now are blowing us out of the water.

There is no hope left. We are a bargain basement club who’s limited to dumpster diving. Europa League is our best case scenario for the foreseeable future.

Yeah, we all thought that before Levy fluked it with that Argentine bloke...you never know, lightning could strike twice...

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

Iirc it may not have been 200m net but it was a considerable sum in each of the 21/22 and 22/23 seasons

They had one of the highest if not the highest net spends over the last two seasons

So this summer they have already spent 200 mill with a couple of transfers still in the pipeline and no major outgoings. Where is this money coming from, how can they afford to spend over 200 mill this summer?

I wouldn't complain at all, they are all very good targets.

I don't think we really need "additional" spending. I just think we shouldn't be wasting money in the first place on players we don't need and will never use, which ultimately leaves us with the big holes each season you refer too.

Of course, additional spending is always welcome, but there is so much more we can do to make our lives a lot easier before we need this additional money.

We are one of the richest clubs in the world, of course we can afford to spend to a certain degree, would never argue against that and we most certainly have the capacity to spend a bit more than we do, but it's meaningless if we don't use it wisely enough, is all I am sying.

They are related though mate.

Sure, there are wiggle arounds when data is presented in certain ways.

The only person that's wriggled here is you.

My OG post/contradition stands as a matter of fact (regardless of you insisting on subsequently carving Levy into the proceedings).

The rest has just been the goalpost shuffle on your part...

Talking about investment yet hiding behind gross spend is BS.
