POK getting harassed for this. If the club really did tell him they were going hard on the rebuild, they sold him up the river…

Personally doubt he just made it up

Seems like, after Levy got targeted by the crowd, he was intent for an aggressive overhaul.

However, Uncle Insidious, has likely kiboshed the plan, via seemingly trying to ensure his close family and friends have Billions rather than simply hundreds of Millions when he’s fully retired (insider trading).

That the ownership transfer happened, at what 10months before this Insider Trading charge, seems obviously linked (whether it simply being : without Spurs he felt free to inside trade, or, he passed on because the charges were being communicated by that stage).

Levy must be on a final verbal warning from Lewis, surely? The chants won’t have gone un-noted, so if he’s been told, as he should have, that Ange is his final failed appointment, should that happen, it’s surreal that CB’s are being overlooked.

We are clearly at some financial background conflict, given the nature of the field has changed and we refuse to react (Utd in limbo, yet buy 3 players who will be starting 11).

If we are waiting on Kane, then, Levy is mental, or Joe has lost faith in him and locked the finances, pending what?

How on earth are we hamstrung on a CB, pathetic, the pair of near sighted money grabbing wankers, is why.

Can’t argue with that. A physical presence at CB.

Exactly my thinking

The materials are all there with Gil

I also reckon that Fraser Forster shows a lot of potential to be converted into a wide forward in Ange's system

Everyone banging on about using the Kane money to bring in a kolo muani, I really do think we can save some money here and use big fraser in that role

We can't compete with oil backed clubs and need to be creative with our squad building

I've seen a 4 minute highlight video in this thread about Kolo Muani and I have serious doubts as to whether he can play on a retractable pitch. Forster is retractable pitch proven, which you just can't buy these days

it's ridiculous and delusional to somehow downplay or deny that Kroenke over the last few years hasnt backed Woolwich.

Back at my computer now... Some FACTS:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

CURRENT WINDOW (as at NOW per TFM):

Arse (m/euros):
23/24 in 231.6 out 19.9 <<< so far = 211.7m
Spurs (m/euros):
23/24 in 136.3 out 11.6 <<< so far = 124.7m
Let's do Livepool for posterity too seeing as they occupy a similar bracket to us and the scum:
23/24 in 112 out 14 <<< so far = 98m

..........Lets see how the rest of the window pans out shall we? ...Fair?

--------------------------------------------------------------------

PREVIOUS WINDOWS (since first full season in NWHL):

Arse (m/euros):
22/23 in 192.3 out 23.8 = 168.5m
21/22 in 167.40 out 31.4 = 136.0m
20/21 in 86 out 19.1 = 66.9m
19/20 in 160.8 out 53.6 = 107.2m
= €478.6m (net spend) / Avg per season = €119.65m

Spurs (m/euros):
22/23 in 177.9 out 38.7 = 139.2m
21/22 in 95.9 out 34.6 = 61.3m
20/21 in 110.50 out 13.3 = 97.2m
19/20 in 150.5 out 64.5 = 86m
= €383.7m (net spend) / Avg per season = €95.92m (Hardly the chasm it has been portrayed to be!)

Liverpool (m/euros):
22/23 in 137.3 out 80.7 = 56.6m
21/22 in 87.0 out 29.5 = 57.5m
20/21 in 84.0 out 17.2 = 66.8m
19/20 in 10.4 out 48.0 = -37.6m
= €143.3m (net spend) / Avg per season = €35.82m

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Wages in pounds (Seeing as goalposts get shifted to wages if/when it suits):

22/23 - Arse 103.5m / THFC 110.4m
21/22 - Arse 93.9m / THFC 89.7m
20/21 - Arse 128.7m / THFC 129.1m
19/20 - Arse 115.4m / THFC 93.1m

Arse = Total £441.5m
THFC = Total £422.3m
Diff = £19.2m / Avg per season = £4.8m

Here is my ITK prediction.
We will get rid of 2 CBs and sign 2 more CBs before the window closes.
I am thinking of adopting a Greek God's name.
Before anyone makes the suggestion it won't be Uranus.
 
We are able to have the bare faced cheek to contact PSG over loaning Mbappe, we have finance for that.

But, CB, naaaaa Sell to buy, sell to buy.

Something actual stinks. Our weakest pitch area, reliant on player sales to fix, 2 weeks before season starts, is gross incompetence.

Anyone else reckon that Bryan Gil has all the attributes to be a commanding linchpin of a CB for us?

Maybe that's why we haven't yet moved on a new CB?

Perhaps Ange has asked us to hold fire on new CBs till he's had the chance to see Gil in the role ??

Of course no one will have considered this, easier to melt and whine isn't it

I know, but this is precisely what my earlier post was rebutting!

Have a read again: #29,958
I try and articulate why using 2019 as cut-off for the net spend valuation is flawed.
