so sick of this fucking club finding new ways to kick us in the balls. sure, it's disappointing to miss out on a good player but to go silent for 2 weeks and make us all think something must be brewing and then just have our pants pulled down by fucking forest and make us the laughing stock yet again is just so demoralizing. can't wait for all the smiling content from asia that's incoming.

it's been said before, but we aren't a football club, we're a real estate/live event company. we're not competing in athletics, we're just hanging around the edges so we can keep printing money on concerts and hotels. our transfer 'strategy' is rummaging through the bins looking for discarded value. we're the biggest joke in football and everyone from bottom to top knows it.

we're going to sleepwalk through next season and finish bottom half again. no one is bleeding for our shirt and no one wants to come to this joke club. we're just a paycheck and a nice life in london for players who all know spurs don't compete for shit. fuck me i can't believe i let this godforsaken club suck me in and have false hope yet again. i hope we go down. we certainly deserve to

Maybe they didn’t know what the outcome would be. How did they make us think something was brewing if they stayed silent the whole time?
And what kind of spurs fan says “I hope we go down”?

Apologies for being a pedant but it's 'new ways to kick you in the vag' surely?

Liverpool wanted a player, from a direct rival, and went and got him.

If Spurs wanted MGW from Forest; they should have just gone and got him.

There are always excuses as to why Spurs fail under this regime.

We've heard all this crap before.

Spurs under ENIC are not a serious club.

The reputational damage ENIC are now doing to Spurs is embarrassing.

We are having our expectations reduced.

The sale of Romero in September should convince even the company men to stop with the bullshit on the miser's behalf.

Cheer up bud

Remember this , no matter how bleak things seem , no matter how hopeless and depressing ...

We'll always have Daniel Phillip Levy to protect us and carry us forwards , he's our guardian angel watching over us til the end of time


















UNTIL THE END OF TIME

So another transfer is up in the air and the Darkside still looking at others.
Well Sudoku you’re a Levy lover tell me what is next for us?
Take as long as you like I have another 11 days left cruising the Med. 😊

with the benefit of hindsight, we certainly could've put more pressure on forest in the press after they balked at the release clause. we could've publicly moved on when it looked like it wasn't happening. does anyone think this shitshow would've played out the same way were it one of our rivals or another 'big' club? we're a joke and we deserve to go down and suffer all the indignities that are coming our way because we're simply not a serious football club who tries to win things and be successful on the pitch.

why do i hope we go down? because it's criminal the way we run this club and levy and enic should not be rewarded for making us into this sad state.

Your opinion.

Forest say its their highest ever wages contract.

And its a short contract ....... and the only reason for that is that Forest cannot afford to pay MGW wages in a 5 year contract........ which means other clubs cannot afford to pay Forest £60m and match those wages for 5 years.

So if its not £20m (£400k pw) its certainly north of £15m pa (£300k pw) as Forest owner offers the maximum possible wage he can afford to stop MGW being bought.

Its high risk to offer very high wages even on a 3 year contract but its the only way Notts Forest keep the player. And the determination to keep the player is quite clear from the interview.

Don't worry lads the future is bright for our infrastructure, just ask this ITK

"Prof:

The club is close to finalizing an influx of funds. Much of it is earmarked for infrastructure projects (eg hotel and training ground). Trying to ascertain how much, if any, will be allocated to transfers."

If the funds show up then it's proven.....

Football is a complete side hustle for the owners. But we knew that already.

Just sell the club already.

1. Who are you referring to here?

2. What should we have done to "just go get MGW" exactly?

you go in with a bid and wages that pushes it over the line. you have a plan to fight back against resistance and then you do whatever it takes. you bully smaller clubs and make it happen. we do none of this and the only reason we even went after him in the first place is because we thought it would be easy and the moment it wasn't we went silent and folded.

If it gets Levy out of the club, I'd take a season in the championship.
