Not to argue against but I’d point out that we possibly have made some signing for real quality but the clubs mentality makes them disinterested or leave as we never seem to show the ambition to push on. I’d wager that some of this seasons few positives, Bergvall , Gray will not be at the club in 4 or 5 years .
I'm not sure where you're going with this. I don't think any of our players deserve more money... quite a few of them deserve less!!! My point which I think you have missed or maybe I didn't explain it well enough is that Levy has a wage budget and he will not increase that. If someone arrives in the good bracket someone is moving out of the above average bracket. It's not easy to see but this is what we do. I will also point out that Haaland arrived from a team who are regulars in the Champions League knock out stage scoring a ridiculous 86 goals in 89 games. He was and absolutely top player but his transfer to City was done and dusted almost as soon as he signed for Dortmund. As for Isak, we could have bought him from Sociedad for the 60m Newcastle paid and his wages are 120k a week. Not sure what Newcastle had won that persuaded him to leave Spain. We won't be in the running when he moves this summer for 100m + and 300k a week.

This is a great point. A lot of people on here think this squad is a top 5 squad and put all this on Ange. Yes, Ange is part of the problem and another coach might have us in 13th or 12th with better tactics and some injury luck. Slot might even have us in 9th or 10th but there is no manager in the world who (along with European football) would have us any higher.

Spending a billion and paying everyone 250k plus a week does not guarantee you win the league...
But it gives you a much fucking better chance than if you sit still, decrease your wage bill and allow Villa, Forest and Fulham to move past you.
The recent debate on here reminds me of this quite brilliant article from a couple of months back

No doubt about it. We bought those players with future re-sale in mind.
The fans will love and adore them as they develop into great players, then we'll turn on them and start blaming the press etc.as they angle for a move to a club with sporting ambition
We're a historically massive club that's massively under achieving, pal.
I won't have my football club besmirched and belittled by you or anyone else.
For all the stick he gets, Gary Neville spent his whole career in the Premier League playing against the likes of Tottenham Hotspur. I'll take his word over yours

The issue is Levy. He's been in the job too long and is getting worse at it. The club needs new leadership so we can make better overall decisions, like Liverpool have done the past ten years. The Ange debacle is a new low, that such an obviously unqualified coach has been given so much rope, and heading for 20+ losses in the league, with multiple players going backwards in their development.
Unfortunately, I am resigned to the fact that Levy isn't going anywhere, so I just hope against hope that he strikes gold when he puts on the blindfold, throws the dart at the board and chooses our next coach.
Translation: "I want to leave"
I agree that should be the issue, but go read the transfer thread, any of them - the amount of people who get wound up by the faux drama and the price of transfers and wages is astonishing. A number of poster who frequent this thread especially.
I agree. We need a new leadership and a way of investing our money better - more isn't even the issue many point it out to be be.
So you want to sell players to plug the financial losses?
Are we about to "do a Leeds" ?
Fans would revolt if we sold players and didn't spend every penny of those fees on the squad.
I'm pretty sure all these finances are just smoke and mirrors. They can use numbers from here there and everywhere to paint whatever picture they want.
I've heard a few people talking about putting stadium depreciation down as a loss.
It's not a used car. Properties are assets and don't depreciate in the same way liabilities, like cars do. Add to that the fact this is a commercial use property, IE, its sole purpose is to make money through use and the money making opportunities are increasing.....
Yeah. I’d add “eventually”, or, “sooner or later”, but yeah.
He expects to leave if we don’t get our act together. And sadly, it’s more, “Tottenham are a stepping stone”.
You have to just tell yourself that until they’re holding up the shirt it’s just noise or if it’s a known star , it isn’t happening.
He’ll be fucking lucky, he can’t even make our first team most weeks.
Sounds like spurs is a great place to be for a young promising player
I fully expect Dragusin agent to pipe up again soon
I wonder what Cup he’ll win when he leaves ?
