Boehly and his crew have also clearly not had issues with spending money after they took over Chelsea.

To be fair they've done some shady shit to fake their numbers like selling hotels to themselves and recently they sold their women's team to themselves, for £150m. For context Newcastle only cost like £300m in it's entirety, so that's clearly bent as fuck.

They'll run out of things to pretend to sell soon.

Correct me if I am wrong but I think that the Newcastle purchase may have included obligations to renovate St. James' and the training ground. Similarly to how Rathcliffe buying into United included obligations regarding Old Trafford or building a new stadium. That may play into Newcastle playing more by the rules than other oil clubs.

I have no idea but Chelsea are finding all sorts of ways of pissing over PSR.

Anyway, any new Spurs owner wouldn't need to but Chelsea are showing it's not difficult.

We could have done that though couldn’t we? Unscrupulous but clever business. Levy would never do it though because it would mean spending enic’s money rather than any moral reason.

We aren't and never have been anywhere even close to FFP limits, so there's no reason to bother with any such chicanery.

As opposed to dodgy chicanery which lines ENIC's pockets, where Levy has been the Thomas fucking Edison of global football from the day he arrived.

That's the hilarious irony of Levy's bromance with Paratici. Don Fabio was a brilliant financial criminal in engineering book-cooking ways to allow Juve to spend MORE money, and Levy was so impressed he hired him to apply the same methods to have us spend LESS.

If only we had owners that committed to build a new stadium and training ground,😂

Liverpool have 12 players on north of £100k, Woolwich have 18 enough to field a full team and a bench. We have five.

They buy a lot of quality, whereas we buy some quality then pad out with promising youngsters and dross. There is absolutely no comparison in our transfer behaviour.We are not competing with Woolwich or Liverpool on any level. Once they start calling around players because they suddenly need someone to come in they just put us on hold and hope we go away.

And as for jealousy of "business models"? All I know is Liverpool and Woolwich are in a title race - Woolwich for the third year in a row. Yeah it's great we can laugh when they fall short again, and they will, but we're laughing from 15th in the league. We're in a hole and our glorious overlords are doing nothing about it. This shouldn't be tolerated. We have the income. We do not have the ambition.

I’m not sure that a lot of those “quality” players are worth what they get. But you’re right. If we rowed out the boat on some decent earners (& not Werner earners) then we’d be financially competing and at least something attractive to the established player.
But who’d come here in their prime to be run ragged every week because the boss man only has one way of playing which has
1-been hit and miss- mostly miss
2- resulted in a worse casualty list since Harold Shipman (apologies for the analogy in advance. It’s in poor taste but I have a poor taste in choice of football team)
