Fuck, I never realised they’ve not put a penny in since they bought the club.
As has been said elsewhere, they’ve taken over 1 billion out. And that’s pounds, not pennies.
Dodgy age injury prone
People speculate he's 27 and why he scored so many for the youth teams
I dont mind him at least he's decent and covers a homegrown spot.
Have not seen him play
The Glazers have taken out about a billion pounds since owning ManU.
That includes for example Glazers borrowing say £500m and paying x % interest, then lending it on to ManU at (x + 4) % interest. With Glazers getting that extra interest
Then there are 'management fees' , dividends and a few other ways to 'legally' take money out.
Charrington is a non-executive director, and those often focus on special tasks for a board. He could be involved in the sale of the club or give advice about the acquisition of additional capital. Given his background in banking, I would say it may be one of those two things. A non-executive director might also critique activities of the board and offer insights into possible changes in structure.
Same, just once or twice, do we really need to spend 25m plus on another player who couldn't make the England u21 team.
Well if better players cost more we know there is a reasonable chance
You have zero control over who owns the club. Your choice is very simple stop watching commenting on engaging with the club if the ownership bothers you. That's it that's all, the lamentation and handwhringing is just performative. The clubs are now owned by billionaires and the going rate is millions for the playing staff. These are facts. That your choosing to be morally exercised about this as opposed to say distribution of aid in Gaza is a luxury. And litigating the eras of Irving scholar nearly 50 years later is proper odd. Any way we have derailed the "transfer thread " (lol) enough
Erm.. you're saying this on a forum dominated by people absolutely determined to make the fans say nothing positive about the club, based purely on who owns it. The current ownership doesn't bother me - the fact that people seem to yearn for worse ownership is more of the issue (we've been there, and arguably have never had better).
Regardless, coming onto a Tottenham Hotspur forum asking me to care more about something else that is going on in the world is an irrelevancy. Like when people ask why the local shop isn't open on the facebook group and people say "There's a war in Ukraine, it hardly matters whether the shop is open or not".
edit:
Fucking ell, the irony of the first and second sentence and the guy who liked your post. There's no hope
O
We spent more than that on Gray who is back up in the same team,
O
Is that the currant joke?
Gray was 18 when we bought him now 19 , Hackney is already 23 so I presume less upside potential. I have never seen him play and I wouldn’t pretend to be an expert even if I had .
Promotion might have killed it ?
Further to the word "dichotomy"...... Far better Spurs sides (that likely cost comparatively less to assemble!) and far better Spurs managers have failed to win trophies during our recently ended drought.

He’s obviously gonna stay and play a season in the PL with his hometown club. Should they go straight back down, then I’m sure he’ll be on the market.
Yet we've got to numerous finals anyway.
