Furthermore if Harrods only had one in stock , [unlikely granted, but you are comparing Harrods and football], But they had another customer willing to pay more they would not sell to you cheaply.

Palace only had 1 Saha in stock and valued him at 80K a few years ago , Levy offered 15 million. Not only did we not get him , Steve Parish ridiculed us in numerous media outlets, rightly so

Poxy cataracts, that should say Zaha
 
Why can't Joe Lewis foot the bill for a naming rights deal? Sell $400m worth of art and name our ground "The Tavistock Arena" then front load our naming rights payments to finance transfers and a top manager? Is it because he can't hire some lawyers and accountants to make this a reality in the way Man City have done with their Etihad bullshit? Or is it because he is an old, greedy cunt who doesn't give a shit about Spurs and wants to have a valuable asset that has risen in line with the rise of The Premier League, without putting in any of his own dough?

Keep apologising for this guys greed with well-worded, rational bullshit, whilst our fans pay some of the highest prices in world football.

Most people either don't understand, are frightened by or sometimes plain insulted by negotiation.
How do you know whether or not anyone will accept 10% unless you ask?

Has there been a time in football when a club has accepted 10% of the players value for a guy that was their best player and highly coveted?

Maybe it is because nobody asks, but it is more likely that it makes zero sense.

How does a fit footballer like that at such a young age have a heart attack? How is it missed on tests and scans?

Normally heart attacks can happen to either extremes. People who don't look after themselves and their diet and are overweight and generally unhealthy... and this is the kind that it affects more. But also people who are super fit as they are testing their Hearts more to the extreme end.

I have a friend who had a heart attack and she was only 18 years old and super fit and use to run marathons. But what sets that off compared to say other times they are excersing is unknown. Very scary.
