You know what this means? The Matrix has fucked up the dates.
As this little kid told me the other day.
Do not try to go to the forum. That’s impossible!!
Only try to realise the truth.
There is no forum…..

I think we are talking about 2 separate things.

I am talking about the Fans Forum, which is tomorrow.
There is logic behind it to be fair. If you say a bonus for winning then the fear is the players sit back as soon as they are ahead and end up conceding. The intension is presumably to make sure they do actually win by pushing for more goals.Whether what Foster it telling here is true or not I cannot say but it looks strange that a win is not enough but that one have to win by 2 goals to cash in one one's bonus...
Ben Foster shares Danny Rose's Daniel Levy claim and how Spurs stars were paid
The Tottenham Hotspur chairman is known for the way he structures financial deals at the club and one former player has been speaking about their bonus systemwww.football.london
"One of the lads, Danny Rose, was at Tottenham and Daniel Levy is so famously known for being an absolute businessman, brutal, ruthless businessman. Apparently their bonus schedule, their bonus payments were almost impossible to achieve, almost impossible," claimed the goalkeeper.
"To actually get paid a bonus, you would only get it for beating one of the big boys, one of the top six teams. So you're talking a Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, and apparently, I swear on my life, this is what he said to me, you've got to beat them by two clear goals as well. [1-0] it's not enough mate, you ain't getting that bonus. Winning games, they expect you to win games as Tottenham manager, at Tottenham apparently.
"To get the bonus you have to obliterate your opponent. You have to beat Man City 2-0, 3-0 to get that bonus payment which is bonkers. I was saying 'Rosey, there's no chance, that's impossible'.
"He was just saying 'I know Fozzy, I know'. He said there was one time they were winning 2-0 and in the last minute they conceded a goal and everyone was looking at each thinking 'OK come on lads we've missed out on the bonus', and they've still won the big game."
The obvious flaw is that you end up conceding because you are pushing for another goal at the expense of your existing lead.
And even if you win the platers may feel negative about the result because they don’t get the bonus.
So not very bright. But i do believe it is true. You can see the thinking behind it. Sadly, it’s probably contributed to our bad record against those big teams.
Ah ok.I think we are talking about 2 separate things.

That makes sense
I wouldn't disagree that this really in the only sustainable strategy and one I would prefer all clubs abide by, however I also feel at times Levy uses this as a way to justify a lack of additional spending.
he seems to have fallen on his feet recently with Ange (although still early days) and a couple of younger signings. Fabio and a few others seem screwed up appointments but if Fabio did lay the foundations of for us finding some recent gems then I can understand his loyalty and wanting to keep him as a 'consultant'.
As I said early days...
Let's be fair, it's more than a couple of younger signings....
Maddison
Romero
Bissouma
porro
Udogie
Sarr
Van de Ven
Kulusevski
Bentancur
You could argue our recent signings have been some of the most consistent in terms of quality that we have ever had at this club.
Has anyone ever told you that you look uncannily like Will Smith , especially when you are angryMe when I saw Levy last season
Me when I saw Levy today
What does lack of additional spending actually mean though? The issue at Spurs since the stadium has been opened hasn't been the money, it's the way it's been spent.
All young, good on the ball. Really gave Ange something to work with which he has needed. Recruitment seems to have been good since Paratici and chief scout Gabbanini have been in at the club.
Is there a demand for a Daniel Levy Appreciation stall on the high road at the moment
T shirts, scarves, face masks etc. Daniel Levy / Donna Cullen half and half scarf maybe???
A Daniel Levy “he’s one of our own” t shirt could he a bestseller.
He has shown amazing loyalty to the club. Almost 25 years!! Maybe a commemorative
mug to mark the occasion. Possibilities are endless. Surprised no one has done it before.
Trying to decide if I could
A/ make a killing
B/ be the victim of a killing.

Yeah agreed.
This aren't all signings from this year either... this has been 2 odd seasons in the making.
We fucked up the last few managerial appointments - Conte especially did not particularly suit the players we were buying clearly - I'm not sure anyone could argue with that.
No you have to blame Conte for everything.
It was Conte's fault the ref and lino missed Mendes goal at Old Trafford.
we're still keeping our fingers crossed on:
Porro
VDV
Kulu
Richie
There are strong indications from each that they could be the biz. We've obviously struggled with Gil and a few others but that was my point. Whilst some of the decisions Levy has made have been questionable, and the Fabio debacle annoyed me, he is meant to be behind a few of these signings and worked on making us more data lead in the recruitment phase. If this is the reason some of this is working out then I understand him being kept about
