Nobody is ever buying us at PL team prices..
Literally nobody. Anyone with that much money isn't stupid enough to pay it.

Nobody is buying us at the price Levy would ask you are right there however at a reasonable price a billionaire or oil state would be mad not to try imho. The infrastructure and being in London alone for all the non football moneyspinning shit is mental - they are absolutely making a fucking fortune the cunts.
I actually think they are making so much coin out of us that they will never sell at any price at this point - why would they I suppose they are printing money.
We are stuck with Enic and Levy forever lads. Where does the breaking point come for fans is what I am interested to know. I only go a few times a season now since I left London but if I was still there and had my ST I wouldn't be going any more.
People voting with their feet is the only way anything will change and this won't happen ever it seems.
If they fail to win this weekend fans should be ripping the place to pieces and doing walkouts in every home game for the rest of the season.

Is it true that if you don't use or transfer your ST for 3 consecutive games you lose it? Genius move from Levy that.
There has to be a lot of fans who wouldn't care any more if they did lose theirs - absolute waste of money and endless heartache this club.

Rant over sorry!

Nuno was fired after the stadium went toxic in that horrible 0-3 defeat to Man United. The question is; is the place going to be toxic against Leicester?

Of course not. It's full of Koreans, tourists and people genuinely convinced this idiot is a real football coach.

NFL’s two games a year v 20 + 61,000 crowds is unlikely to be a factor.

Concerts v league places, that’s an interesting one. Let’s assume a concert generates a profit of £1m. It’s about £1m between places in the Premier League, so rationale would be you would only get ahead with these concerts sitting beside success in the premier league.

No Europe at all will totally kill any benefit of concerts / other events I’d imagine ( unless we are talking Conference league which is entirely a loss leader ).

Everything hangs on Tottenham staying up and being competitive I think. Which makes the current state of things ever more puzzling.

I can only assume the club is about to be sold. That’s the only thing that can possibly explain this problem not being dealt with.

I think all the non football stuff is seen as risk free, guaranteed income. Being ambitious on the pitch means spending money with no guarantee of results.
I genuinely worry now that we're done with even pretending to be competitive as the management look in other directions for the business.

For those of us that wants him out it’s the most clear signal to send to Levy. He’s affraid that the broad majority of match going Spurs fans rather turn on him. If Ange is to make a questionable substitution like the Moura->Bergwijn did for Nuno, his time is definitely out. The worry is that the stadium now is packed with tourists rather than vocal die hard fans. Weekday matches is in that way preferable to voice agony towards the management of the club.

But he’s not backing him is he? Backing him would be giving him signings. The situation is even more bizarre because he isn’t buying new players.
It’s totally fucked up and makes zero sense! This club.

Already feels like Stellini and Mason but we haven't even sacked the manager.

Seriously, wtaf are they doing in the transfer market.

Any idiot can see that trotting out the same 11-12 players every 3 days fo 2 months is going to end in disaster and soon we won't even have 11-12 players.

If we don't have players, not A player, but players (plural) in before Leicester, we will lose and more players will get injured. Right now what they are doing is sabotage and then farming the attention from all the negativity.

Are injured players due back or something ? What’s changed that this week is so pivotal? Very arbitrary

I assume that losing to Everton made his position critical. The club banked on Everton, being also a shambles with a new manager, losing to us and giving us a bit of a boost.

But now Everton went home with all three points, and they have the theoretical points against Liverpool from the postponed derby that in a scenario were they win (they won't but theoretically they can) would cut the gap to us even further.

Prof on coys:

I know we are working on several possibilities but have no idea whether any of them will come to fruition before the window closes. I hope/expect at least one to cross the line, but that one may not be pleasing to some COYSers. There is also a player most of us would be happy with that we're trying to prise from his current club, but (my opinion) I don't see it happening during this window. Still working on the young player I referenced a week or so ago but that one also feels like it may not conclude until the summer. Apologies that I can't be more specific, which is frustrating for me and I'm sure is frustrating for COYSers, but I gave my word.

Everything happens in the last hour of the transfer window. You should know that by now.

Liverpool and Villa are both away games. We need our place to be full of venom for Ange and Levy.
We want Levy out
You don't know what your doing
Sacked in the morning

All the THFC greatest hits really.

I agree with everything. I can't see a world where ENIC ever let us go. I don't think there is a number that makes them sell what with the absolute guaranteed income the business makes. Been trying to explain this to those who seem to genuinely believe ENIC/Levy have taken nothing from the club and are just building the value before selling for a profit.
They have built a venue that makes money. They use the clubs value to borrow money for non THFC business as well.

The only way they'd ever go for me is to stop themselves losing money year on year. And that would take an absolute catastrophe.

If i was ever allowed to join any of those shithole sites, I could easily pretend to be ITK and make up this sort of bollocks. The fact anyone takes it seriously staggers me.

I've heard a couple of times lately you lose your season ticket if you miss 3 games. I've had a season ticket since 2017 and never seen that anywhere.
I tend to go to games if I can't sell my ticket.

I was thinking that fans could easily protest by going to the game but not going to their seat.
I'd be up for that. Watch it in the foyer. No food or drink. Thousands of empty seats.
They can't say we didn't show up. But it would look embarrassing on TV cameras.

Postecoglou on thin ice at Tottenham but Levy still hoping for turnaround

The Tottenham manager looks set to stay on for upcoming games against Hoffenheim and Leicester, with Daniel Levy taking injuries into account despite the team’s poor run
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

Fucking hell. Levy really is clueless. Explains a lot. Levy is hanging his hat on the freak City away result, and seems to genuinely think when the injuries clear up, Ange is the man to take us to success. Levy is an absolute moron when it comes to football. He is genuinely completely clueless

Postecoglou has been running with double-digit absentees (or thereabouts) for weeks and was without 10 senior players at Goodison Park, including his first-choice defence, apart from the right-back, Pedro Porro. The hope, fervently held by everyone at the club, is that things will start to improve once the selection crisis eases.

Yet Levy knows that when Postecoglou’s team click with all of the main players available, they are capable of thrilling football and results. It was only two months ago they won 4-0 at Manchester City. The Carabao Cup first-leg win over Liverpool came the Wednesday before last.

Yeah we're fucked. Our chairman has completely bought the bullshit and actually thinks the injuries are why we are where we are, and that Ange's football will lead us to success. Fuck me. By the time it actually clicks with the evil bald dwarf, we'll be even lower in the table.
