I have never been so disinterested for the start of the season as I am now.
We've got a midtable manager who was the last resort after a ridiculous 72 day search.
We've got the same old mediocre players with little noise being made about the likes of Dier, Sisokko, Winks, Dele and Aurier being on the way out.
There have been no new signings with the only serious links being about a Japanese player I know little about and even that appears to be getting drawn out.
It's just disheartening. It's the first pre-season match today and I cannot muster up any enthusiasm for it.
 
Bang average manager, no new signings, Kane probably off, but they will still charge the highest ticket fees on the planet.

It's an utter joke, and not a funny one either.

I've always thought a club charging world class ticket prices and paying world class boardroom salaries but refusing to sign world class players is one of the biggest anomolies in football.

How the fuck are they still getting away with this after 21 years?

Well they own the club and fans are not really customers because they can’t go elsewhere plus the Prem money for staying in the league is often enough.

We clung on to a top 7 finish by our fingernails and luck. Forget all the razzmatazz of the NFL stadium, the abseiling down from the roof like Bojo, the real-estate, the talk of sponsorship deals, investing in climbing walls and whatever the fuck else it is Levy and his team of estate agents are doing...we are roughly back to where we were in the naughties.

We've been playing like a mid-table club for a while, we have mid-table players like Dier and Winks that don't seem to be on the move, we have a mid-table mental fragility and we've employed the services of a mid-table coach.

I'm all for giving Nuno a chance but we desperately need an overhaul. If Poch and Mourinho couldn't get a song out of the current players, I don't currently have much faith that Nuno can turn piss into champagne either.
 
Hope fans let this bald cunt know his time is up at the first game

Proper toxic shit - full boycott of his NFL dream fucking scum maggot

That is the problem many fans don't want owners like those two clubs have because apparently they have the cheat codes whatever that is.
But conviently ignore how devious and shifty our owners are, if we are to get precious over potential owners being clean then there would be nobody about to buy us
 
So, I dunno if this information has been posted before, but I'm a boring cunt so repetition is to be expected. And because I'm boring, I went here: Tottenham Hotspur - Transfers 20/21

And from there, I could see the net spend every season since ENIC took over in 2001 and I went all the way to the 20-21 season. 20 years of ENIC and the net spend is...£407.6 million. So the average is just over £20m a season over the period. Interestingly, for the last 10 years, the total net spend has been £148.35 million. Not even £15m a season, on average, over the past 10 years.

I haven't looked at other clubs - over the same period - yet. When I can be arsed, I will.

On the face of it, that seems quite a low net spend on average over the 20 years, and really low over the past 10 years. Take into account that our wages/turnvover ratio is always amongst the best in the league.

I don't know exactly how much Levy and Lewis bought the club for. According to Wikipedia, they paid Sugar £22m for a 27% stake in the club in 2001, and then in 2007 they got Sugar's remaining 12% for £25m. So that's £47m for 39% stake in the club. So I'm guessing they paid around £150m for the club overall?

What could they sell the club for today, to the oligarch of the month? £2billion? Let's say £1.5 billion, given the debt the club holds, that's a massive return on their investment. £20m a season average net spend would surely have been paid for from revenues the club generates. So they have rode the wave of the Premier League growing enormously over the 20 years they have owned the club and have, on paper at least, made a fuck ton of money.

Oh, and Levy has paid himself £6m a year since the 2016-17 season. I don;t know what he was paid before that.

For the sake of repetition as well :
Our net spend for the last 5 years is higher than the Dippers.
Our net spend has increased greatly since moving into the new stadium.

You seem to imply (apologies if I'm wrong) that Enic are not spending all the revenues on the football club.
In turn, this implies that either THFC have a shed load of cash on hand, or that Enic have taken money out of the club.
Neither of which is true.

Oh and Levy hasn't paid himself £6m a year since 2016-17.
