Elon Musk’s doing a good job of it
"Top 6 clubs" (now 7) as a notion is too broad a term in this respect.
Clubs like us, Arse & maybe Liverpool are diff. to the other 4 in this respect; maybe not bankruptcy and relegation, but bad deals CAN hamper in one way or another.
They haven't "gambled" their future, but they've taken a risk with the funding and support. They've fully backed him in a way that Emery and our managers have not been. I suspect that if they failed this season that might have been it for Arteta perhaps, but with a young squad ready to be moulded by the next guy. They've binned almost all their shit. Ours still starts.
#TeamMusk then.
I don't use it for good reason..... I hate the way it continues to impact the psyche of our fanbase regardless.
That's just wrong though. Emery signed Pepe, Torreira, Tierney, Saliba etc. over a year and a half, while offering stupid contracts to the likes of Aubameyang and Lacazette as well. They did back him.
Where are Pepe, Torreira, Aubameyang and Lacazette now? Surplus to requirements and the team is better for it. Tierney is barely even first choice now, and Saliba is only now getting his chance.
Told you that’s what’s happened. It’s levy not wanting to renew and not Conte.
Yes, which proves my point. They gambled with Emery, backed him and failed. It doesn't seem to have impacted them in the long run does it?
Or sack him and appoint mason for the cheap option.
No, because they fucked it all off.
Sessegnon, Dier, Davies, Lloris all still start games - I know everyone is currently anti-Hugo, but Woolwich have let two decent keepers go whilst we still rely on a 36 year old past his best.
Sanchez is still here, Lo Celso, NDombele, Winks, are still our players (albeit on loan). Woolwich flushed anyone not wanted for whatever price. To get them gone and start again.
That's the gamble. That's the bravery. That's what we need. Not going to happen.
You said a couple of days ago that Conte had thrown in the towel cos he'd been lied too..... Then you said changed tact and said that it's all media hot air and mis-quotes....... You seem to be throwing rather a lot of shit at the wall to be claiming clairvoyance.
They were incredibly lucky to get off the hook with PEA & Luiz.
If the internet/twitter didn't exist , do you think most spurs fans would be happy with how things are right now ?
Which in this case means that they didn't gamble, because they could afford to do it again, so they didn't "bet the farm on it".
This goes against your first point.
Which begs the question (that you also answered to be frank), if Woolwich could do it, with less revenue than us, why the fuck doesn't this cunt of a chairman do it?
Because he's a cunt of a chairman!
I'm not sure that you can do it all again though. Writing off an entire squad at a loss of £128m is one thing, doing it again (whilst spending vast sums) would be the risk. It's not something anyone can afford to do. Except Chelsea it seems.
Stop putting everything on luck. They didn't earn shit on PEA and Luiz. Zilch. Nothing. They just saved a max of 15M on wages, WHICH IS WHAT WE PAID FOR JOE RODON! The difference between succeeding and failing isn't 15-20M.
As if the twitter accounts drip feeding people every hour to make them melt isn't bad enough, the exact same tweet gets reposted 10 times on here.
Ok, but Di Marzio isn't just some random journalist.
Given his connections, it's obviously going to be a very well informed opinion.
