He thinks he is smarter than he is imho
They've merely not bought players at the pace that those "random fans" want.
............Not enough for me to not continue to enjoy our cup victory.
Each to their own ...I don’t pay for your ST and you don't pay for mine.
That's a safe purchase.
HG, EPL proven....... It's not a lot when you see a lot of the prices being tossed about.
ok so 'someone saved a quid tonight' didn't get a lot of traction but we're work shopping here. safe space and all. how about:
tiny transfer
cheap ass levy
lying levy
the world's worst transfer man
wages scales
transfer fails
he'll sign the cheaper man
palhinha!
will we see him
in central midfield?
and now there's 3 weeks
'til we play burnley
just tiny transfers in our hand...
clickbait geeks
out in the streets
tweeting bullshit out for likes
reading one
we just laugh
football london is just so bad!
fat greek man!
he makes his stand
in his shithole stadium
moving on
we slog along
the bids we make, are way too small...
but oh how it feels so real
posting here
while drinking beer
we're signing
rodrygo and messi!
but I say softly, slowly,
chorus: (everyone!)
hold me over tiny transfer!
count the years left on his contract
under bid with shitty wages
do you want to let him go for free?
(repeat)

Just pay the money. Knock a couple of more floors off the hotel.
Whilst your overall assertion that ENIC control Spurs is correct. The company you attach ENIC Ltd is really nothing to do with the direct ownership of Spurs just a UK subsidiary.ENIC is 'controlled' by Collecott and Levy. It is owned by the Lewis trust. Ownership and Control are not the same.
ENIC LIMITED people - Find and update company information - GOV.UK
ENIC LIMITED - Free company information from Companies House including registered office address, filing history, accounts, annual return, officers, charges, business activityfind-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk
ENIC has no assets except the club, so it is a dumb argument to focus it on that. The matter is that the ownership that has the capital to invest, doesn't. Levy and Collecott can't sit there and magic it up, it needs to come from the Lewis Family.
There's a whole different thread for this nonsense where it has been stated (and ignored) multiple times.
The immediate ownership of Spurs is ENIC Sports Ltd, a company based in the Bahamas of which I believe Collecott has no directorship.
Liverpool are not called Dippers because of their pragmatic approach in the transfer market.You act as if Liverpool didn't spend years being called the Dippers precisely because they followed a pragmatic, hidden-value approach to their transfer strategy. Even when Klopp came along they bought Bobby Firmino and Christian Benteke, and these were not Big Names that Big Clubs were competing for. Then they followed it up with Mane and Wijnaldum, with only us for competition there, and Salah came the following year as a Chelsea reject reborn at Roma.
Not a single one of these transfers was a marquee signing, not a single one was even over 40m pounds, and look where it got them. NOW they cam afford to spend the earth on whomever they want, because Klopp earned it.
But we're not competing with them. We're competing with Newcastle, and even in the past 3 years we've massively out-spent them. Here, take a look at this fun little chart I made (all prices in Euros, all data from transfermarkt: Spurs, Woolwich, Newcastle):
In case anyone is confused, we've been spending a lot of money to try and catch/keep up.
Edit: I can't get the Scum link to work because the forum autochanges to Woolwich, even in a URL.
The are called Dippers because of their fans, it is short for Bin-Dippers under the stereotypical always searching in bins for their next meal.
Don't give up the day job.
His latest tweet will do his reputation a world of good.
Keeping aside the Club trained math nonsense....
lets say Son, Bissouma, Solomon, Dragusin, Davies leave (sold or loaned)....We keep Romero.
and Buy/loan Paulhinha, Gibbs White with Kudus , Takai in...
I dont know about others - I would be 100% happy with this window. Its good enough for me for where we are as a club with first season under Frank

at least you think i'm employable
Still no one in there that strikes me of being able to drive the team on when needed. A leader basically. Someone with a nasty streak who you know hates to lose and keeps going. Maybe a Gallagher, Elliot, Palhiniha or a MGW. Either of these, maybe a couple of these and a feared number 9 that CB's hate coming up against.
Just a general bit of balls throughout the team when things ain't going to plan. As good as they maybe I don't see it in any of our front line or midfield.
