Football club not a business

That was my first thought when I saw the post. Running a successful business is one thing, but running a successful football club is something else in my view. It’s nice to know that we’re not going to go bankrupt any time soon, but what I really want is success on the field in the way of wins and trophies.

There’s a sensible middle ground and we are aren’t in that bracket which is frustrating
 
We've won less than West Ham over the last 15 years.
Throw some cold water over your face and let that sink in, man.
You talk about everyone getting behind the club. Believe me, everyone wants to. It's watching these rotten, stinking owners get richer while the team just makes up the numbers many can't get behind.

The only way to get over the misery is for us to win something maybe? Even then there's still gonna be sections of this fanbase moan like crazy.
 
Again, not crying about it just stating facts.

Also, we considered one of the Big 5 in the 80's long before Levy and co rocked up at The Lane so wtf are you talking about.

Our owners are scum, but they're not getting a single penny from me as long as they remain.
Here's the thing: the club derives the lion's share of its revenue from 2 streams - television and sponsorship.

The television revenue is based on league finish in a given year, but the underlying contract (and the next) are based on viewership. The value is calculated based on viewership of the matches, and related program which indicates interest in the sport.

Sponsorships are partially based on viewership, but also on overall marketing metrics - Social media (not just the club's accounts but how many people interact or discuss the club), talk about the club on traditional media and uptake thereof, etc. Lots of other factors at play here other than shirt sales and the like.

So if you watch, if you read, and even if you complain on the internet...you're generating pennies that end up flowing to THFC.

At the end of the day, there's simply no way we can control who owns the football club. Why waste energy on it? The only person it effects is you.

TLDR - The more you moan about ENIC, the richer they get

#levy out.... 1 win against Chelsea away in 32 years UNACCEPTABLE.....2 away wins at Woolwich in 32 years UNACCEPTABLE.....2 away wins at Anfield in 32 years UNACCEPTABLE..Record Fa cup semi final defeats in a row ever (7 or 8 ive lost count!!).... UNACCEPTABLE....sacking Mourinho on the eve of a cup final UNACCEPTABLE...Not buying Grealish for 40m then buying Ndombele for 60 million...UNACCEPTABLE....Not buying Berahino when spurs could have pushed on for the title UNACCEPTABLE....sacking Harry rednapp because hes linked with the england job UNACCEPTABLE...constant low balling with other football clubs in negotiations to the point of being black listed by major footballs clubs (its a sellers markets you either pay the price or do one!!) UNACCEPTABLE...How long is Levy gonna go on for?? hes in his early 60s now...just a blood sucker to any ambition....I give Ange until February until this all unravels....what is the point in going to Leicester having about 10 corners first half...then their first shot on target goes in?? Never mind the spurs tradition of playing well...win by any means necessary like the other big clubs...spurs do not have the firewpower to go to leicester clearly and blitz them 3 nil at half time....theres no defence...Romero is substandard he is a f**king liability and so is the GK from corners....you can have maradona up front but useless if your gonna give goals away like candy to a baby! #levyout #ENICout

I get the moaning thing. I really do. I just find it so boring and repetitive.

Same jokes that weren't funny 5 years ago, same comments that are no longer interesting to read.

I get that this is people's therapy.... venting.....whatever.....but honestly, most therapists would have told those going over and over and over again with the same points that there is nothing more they can do for them and really, they need to probably stop putting themselves in whatever position they are that is making them this way.
 
Duh

You said in one post that the moaning is counterproductive, then you say in another post the moaning makes our owners richer (headed by Levy).

Levy = your Spurs hero. So surely you like the moaning and all kinds of Levy chat on here, it's why you're always at it, I see now.

Fucking hell you're so desperate for a gotcha moment, you've gone to these kind of lengths to prove...absolutely nothing. :davieshmm:

Have it - you got me mate, well done, whatever you need to seek engagement, if that get's you going in here, enjoy lmao

Worse when we have our own 'fans' who continually ridicule and mock the club and mock other fans who don't hold the same opinion as them.

Sorry but that's even more a load of bollocks than your opinion of The Empire Strikes Back.
