Don't be silly now. Look how the club has been run in recent years. World class training facilities, World Class Stadium, NFL, international branding. Financially we are potentially in one of the better positions in world football.
The club has been building exactly for this.
The remit for Poch / Mourinho was simply to get top 4; keep us in Europe for the least amount of Net Spend.
In terms of the squad, its clear that Spurs saw squad investment during the Poch era as not necessary since the real goal is to build a squad for the new Elite comp.
The current squad clearly knows their days are numbered and most of them will be turfed out come the end of the season.
Well at least we'd have ONE season in the ESL.... 'cos we'd sure as shit be relegated!!
We could start it all off off by setting a new 'Founding Fathers' lowest points total!!
You'd think if your 2 year old could do it a grown man/woman on a website would understand it - but then maybe not if they're American.
I make you right.
League Cup can go. I think most would argue it holds little value (after Sunday that is) but this is filth.
The ridiculous aspect of this is that we would be moaning and screaming injustice of we were not in the elite group as much as we are because we are part of the infamous gang of 6.
The world is awash with the overly wealthy holding way too much power but my objective side knows that if we were not inside we would be looking longingly from outside.
I hate it and really hope I stick to my guns but I am going to revert
back to I'm likely to detach.
I just want Governments and governing bodies to limit the power of the wealthy. That's what is required.
I can’t see fan owned clubs like the big Spanish ones allowing it. Just like the German ones. There’s no way. Fans have to vote in favour.
No we'll not be relegated, we'll just end up getting stuffed every game forever, with no chance of a year in a second division as relief...
The League Cup has been dying on it's arse for years...
It's supply and demand. Football is just like a Big Mac. Enough people want it, are willing to pay for it, and most have forgotten what decent food tastes like.
The supreme irony for spurs is that we are the perennial underachievers, but even that hasn't made us exempt from the fast food football gang (mostly thanks to Levy).

No, I think they had a pros and cons list...the top of one was "make a load more money" and the top of the other was "don't make a load more money" and the rest was a blank page...
I think it will. I very much doubt this will happen.To be honest, I’m really hoping that the level of opposition to this will stop this shite before it gets going.
Even if that happens, this is going to leave a bitter taste for years to come.
I am ashamed
I don't consider MLB a sport. Is a girl's game in school.
MemphisWill
has a point about NFL though. Is massive and only getting bigger thanks to the International games, etc.
It has, yes. It needed reform. But even getting rid of that doesn't create the space needed. Everything else needs to take a back seat. The SL would be the priority above all else because that's where the income (completely guaranteed) would come from.
Clubs won't get kicked out, these huge clubs wouldn't join without looking into it legally
Its Man City being banned from the CL all over again

As if he need smore - crickey..Live feed from Florentino Perez just coming in:
The current squad won’t be easy to shift, they will be being offered to smaller clubs, who will offer less wages. We will have to subsidise a lot of wages to move them
And that list of “presidents and Vice Presidents”.... good god...
How can there be any bit of integrity when the presidents are the owners of the clubs competing? What would prevent widespread corruption, fixing matches etc, with no independent ruling body to regulate it?They’d be a law upon themselves??
The whole thing just absolutely stinks to high heaven, it’s an absolute farce.
