The prodigal son returnsStayed out of this thread for a couple of days to improve my mental health, did I miss anything?![]()
It’s so odd isn’t it. A no brainer. & you just don’t see fans at other clubs so protective & supportive of owners, especially ones who win nothing & rip off the fans as much as possible. A very odd fan base we have. In fact even fans of owners who win CL & title criticise their owners. We have die hard fans of owners & chairman where winning a FA cup seem like some out of this world fairytale!New owners who are willing to put their own money (to what is allowed) on top of the financial power of the stadium and with some bloody ambition. Why would nobody want that?!?!
I don't get it. It is obvious that ENIC and Levy arent working as the owners of the club and they just dont want to do what is necessary to win.
It’s something that never got enough scrutiny, neither from Spurs fans or the wider media.Sold the best striker in the world for 100M and replaced him with absolutely no-one
Get out you nasty little, speculative weasels. Stick your 6% increase, and blatant theft from OAP’s….
A slightly better Mike Ashley is not the benchmark you utter criminal bastards
Sold the best striker in the world for 100M and replaced him with absolutely no-one

Gil was just a kid- his development and ceiling are now permanently stunted because he signed with us and has hardly played any ball in three years. Levy and Gil’s own stupid decision to come here has proved awful for his career.Perpetually awful dross like Gill, GLC and fucking shitbags like Hoj and Royal will all be on our books next season. Not one will be sold. Two or three possibly loaned
We don’t have the drive to fund a rebuild. These players should just be forced out and paid off. No-one is paying a fee. We are blinkered and blind, Levy doesn’t see it and half the maniacs on here will
Disagree and still think we can get 15M for Wankberg or 12M for the Brazilian simpleton. GET REAL
Fuck their residual balance sheet value, amortisation etc, fuck them off

I honestly cannot think of any club that would sell a player of the stature of Harry Kane and the only attacking players you bring in are Johnson and Solomon.
It’s completely and utterly unacceptable on every single level.
And before any moron chirps in with the “we used Kane’s sale to bring in the likes of VDV and Maddison” that’s complete and utter bollocks too.
Vicario, VDV and Maddison are signings we have needed for YEARS and should have been brought in with our without the sale of Kane.
We have a system?
I'll tell you why it hasn't much scrutiny, it's because the vast majority of people are adults and understand that replacing a player like him straight away is near on impossible
We also understand that the manager didn't want him replaced like for like and was more than content to have this team and these players at this current stage of the rebuild (sorry not sorry)
Such a dead argument.
They knew his contract was running down and he was unlikely to re-sign so they had plenty of time to source a potential replacement.I'll tell you why it hasn't much scrutiny, it's because the vast majority of people are adults and understand that replacing a player like him straight away is near on impossible
Is this "new system" the one where, the team passes the ball around a lot, getting it up around the opposition box, only to pass it all the way back.
Yeah, something like thatIs this "new system" the one where, the team passes the ball around a lot, getting it up around the opposition box, only to pass it all the way back.
We have seen how effective this is, at Newcastle recently we had,75% possession but lost 4-0, because we don't know how to defend or score.

You're excuses are becoming more pathetic by the day. Everyone sees through you now pal.
Yeah you're right, we should have gone for Haaland just in case Kane might not have signed a new contract.

To be fair there are not many good forwards about these days but brennan johnson wasnt the answer. I said it seemed like a desperation signing but others think he was high on anges list.
