You don't have to buy overseas. Prices here are ridiculous. In any event Spurs Kit is now the same price as the of Liverpool, Woolwich, Chelsea...... Do we have the same value football team? My guess you going to say Yes. But we all know who's 15th on the log, who's 1st on the the log and who's second on the log.Our shirts cost £29.99 in 1992. In 2025 pounds that’s about £80. The current shirt costs £95.
Given the huge increase in demand since 1992, that’s not a huge increase in shirt prices in real terms.
You’re just angry at inflation. You can’t buy a house for £50k either.
How has the Football Shirt Market Changed - Hobby FC
In recent years, the football shirt market has changed drastically. From being a simple hobby (and a big reason for starting this site) to its own enterprisehobbyfc.com
All false.
Levy's salary is double Ben Davies.
American salaries are higher than British ones.
I don't pay to go to a stadium and admire it I go to watch football.
And finally: this is football. It's all sentimental. It's why we're here and passionate about it. Again, if all you want is a dispassionate economic analysis go and support Deloitte.

There are industry standards for squad investment too, and guess who isn't meeting them.
Harder to Win? We could've been where Liverpool or Woolwich are. Was it not harder for them to win
Dumb Argument. Absolutely no substance
She seems confident she has her facts straight.
What do you think?

That's the part that is more shocking than anything.
The glittering new stadium that was supposed to chang everything, all the revenue streams and riches the club takes in, yet you still have Levy balking at the price of top class managers, as well as anyone and everyone who could help the club on the pitch. The stadium didn't help the club, it only helped them.
The wool was pulled on this fan base collectively that getting the stadium done was going to help the football take a step forward. The club is worse than ever and refuses to change course. The radioactivity is affecting transfers and who only knows what else.
To be fair we have appointed two world class managers since we moved in, and we did pay top dollar.
He just didn't seem to think world class managers would need or want world class players.
Had a surge of 90s nostalgia earlier today… us teetering in 16th (!) place, anxiously looking at a result between fucking Ipswich and Southampton. I mean… our Chairman thinks we’re European Super League material FFS! Complacency and delusion off the scale.
Do you think Nike prices kits based on how good a team is? You realize when Nike signs a contract to take over our kit and apparel manufacturing, they set the sale prices?
Both cheque book managers. We hired cheque book managers without the cheque book.
No it's not.
Never be embarrassed of being a Spurs supporter.
Wouldn’t change it and still go every home game but we’re pretty hard to defend at the moment.
Conte made no sense in this regard.
Mourinho wasn't hired to make the squad better. Mourinho was hired because Levy (and many others - check his thread at that time) believed Poch did not have the mentality and ability to instill the pragmatic "winning is all that matters" mentality to get our squad over the top. It was believed we had capitulated in 2 successive league title chases and then folded in the CL final in Madrid because we were too mentally frail to cope with the pressure and we needed a serial winning manager to come in and instill the final piece. We didn't bring Mourinho in to buy players for him - it was believed we had a squad capable of winning silverware that just needed a better manager.

There was a degree of that with Conte too, certainly a bid to exploit the remaining window we had on Kane's contract at a minimum.
Both Jose and Conte were explicitly, self-consciously short term moves to make right what had gone wrong with Poch.
We're past all that now, finally.
But it explains why all the anti-Levy stuff has broken out in a different way since the Conte meltdown. As long as people could still pretend we were in the Poch moment where we genuinely stood toe to toe with the elite and on the doorstep of major honors, how could anyone say the leadership hadn't done a good job?
It's a different perspective as those heights look ever more unattainable in the rear view mirror.
I started supporting the club when I was 8 as well. When I was 9 we won the double. It has been downhill ever since. When I was 14 my 2nd team won the World Cup and have won nothing since. Too much too early and neither likely to be repeated.
Villa from 3 years in the Championship to miles ahead of us in 6 years . Levy is a clown , he has had an eternity to learn from his mistakes , yet here we are watching him repeat them again .
