Dude, get a grip - no one killed the club.

We weren't competing with them before they took over, so how have they killed the club? It's embarrassing to see people go on about it in that way - no wonder other fans hate us.
They obviously haven't killed the club if you take that sentence literally

I really do believe the worst of Enic's tenure is yet to come though. The prem is getting more competitive every year and we are continuing to spiral headfirst towards mediocrity. These owners don't know how to keep up and seemingly don't particularly care , dangerous combination. I'm so glad for that night in Bilbao , as it's gonna need to be a very warm comfort blanket over the next few years ...
 
Relax. Still several weeks left in the window. The Madisson injury must be assessed to determine if he is to be named in the squad.

In the premier league, there is 1 spot available in the HG. Win Son, Solomon and Gil exits - gives room to buy foreign players - but they won't be eligible for the champions league (unless Spurs drop established players).

Champions League is where it becomes difficult. Spurs only have 3 spots available for club trained players (of which there are none) and will have to DROP 10 PLAYERS from the squad. Soloman, Gil, Vuskovic, Yang, Takai, Craig, Dragusin, Son. The other 2....may be Bissouma and Davies? Maybe Tel.

So, even if Madisson is out for a long time and not named in squad - Spurs can only sign 1 academy trained player. The only other option would be to drop Kinsky to sign an international player - but that means Austin is backup keeper for Champs League (no chance).
You can get an exception to bring in a GK if there an injury so every chance Austin is the back up in CL, and Kinsky can come in via exception (if needed)

Why are you engaging with him? He’s nothing more than one of the fucking bellends banned from Spurscommunity who has migrated here just to troll by sucking off the ownership.

Such a boring fucking bunch. Class suck ups, bottom set of PE. Love telling everyone how reasonable they are as if it’s some sort of flex being a cuck for billionaires online.

I like to do my bit for charity

Irving Scholar had a go at killing us imho . But I’m sorry trying to compare us to about 82 of the 92 football league clubs is the opposite of hyperbole, it’s massive under appreciation of who we are .

I mean, there is no way to take that sentence without it being embarrassing.

Our owners, like it or not, mate, knew how to catch up and keep up for a while. I know folks like you wouldn't dare attribute any of that to them, but they definitely had something to do with it. They have certainly been struggling the last 5 years, though, and I would welcome some new owners with fresh ideas and perspective

I think in the context of what I am trying to say, it is spot on.

ENIC have not killed our club - not even close and to even come close to understanding what that means, these Spurs fans embarrassing us should take note of what it actually means to have your club killed.
 
"We want to win the premier league and we want to win the champions league"

- Oh really, how will you pursue that in earnest then, Baldcunt?

"We'll do what we can"

Anyone still falling for it deserves the agony.

We don’t want to do a Bury

Look I get it , I even said Scholar nearly did it . I have never said or come close to saying Levy killed our club .
I do though feel he has very little understanding of the club , its history and traditions. Most importantly he does not understand vast swathes of the fan base and has no intention of trying to understand them . That comment can be argued is subjective


However Lewis clearly has no interest in the club other than financial and any defence that Levy is a passionate Spurs fan is every bit as subjective as saying he neither cares or understands.

You view his actions as caring about the club , I view his actions as long term , self serving greed .

Both these positions are subjective , of course those who want him out are more vociferous. Those who want change feel aggrieved, those who don’t are happier obviously because they have what they want .

Just think Brexit those who wanted out shouted far louder than those who said it’s ok as is .

Difference being this time I want change , of course I will be more vociferous than you , Fixy, Shady and CJJ to name but a few
 
Overwhelmingly positive response to Levy’s interview. Seems you moaners are not representative of the wider fan base.
just got around to watching it and he's as always extremely charming and likeable and loves spurs but it was softball questions by and large. neville touched on not spending enough but let him get away with quoting transfer fees expenditures and didn't follow up with wages to revenue ratios. i would've like to have seen him ask, "do you think you'd win more if you spent more of the club's revenue on player wages that are more in line with the top clubs with similar revenues?"

but hey look over here at our brewery and art gallery!

Very fair assessment.

He did touch on spending and said he thought it was not sustainable. Villa would be a good example - very high spending but now they’re jammed. They’ve spent less than a million this transfer window, on a backup goalkeeper.

That doesnt conpletely meet the objection though because it’s not specifically about wages.

we've yet to see any teeth behind the regulations and the big clubs are finding ways around them completely. at some point the question to levy becomes, "have you been naive to follow the rules so closely while others appear to regularly circumvent them and win things?"

Villa aren't in the same stratosphere, situation wise, which you well know.

Our revenue absolutely dwarfs theirs. There's a vast amount of middle ground between 40% wages to revenue and ~90%. That's their issue, not the transfer fees.

Our financial situation is more akin to Liverpool's than Villa's.

Do you think that wages to turnover is the only relevant factor in deciding how much we can spend?

Like it or not, Liverpool are the biggest club in England and only Real Madrid and Barcelona could claim to be obviously bigger (and even then…). That counts for a lot. We’re not on the same planet as Liverpool.

To scale the numbers for clarity, in the latest 23/24 revenue figures:

Woolwich (Champions League): 716M
Liverpool (Europa League): 714M
Tottenham (No Europe): 615M
Chelsea (No Europe): 545M
Newcastle (Champions League): 371M
West Ham (Europa League): 322M
Aston Villa (Conference League): 310M

Like it or not, Liverpool are the biggest club in England
Not in any relevant commercial or financial metric, not even close.

They are the best team in England because they've never hesitated for a moment in their unwavering commitment to accomplish that.

As does our fanbase.
It's so fucking disingenuous seeing so called fans using these clubs as sticks to beat our own club with.
They either need to raise their fucking standards instead of dragging us down or just fuck off.
