I know its very childish of me but I recall a brief moment post that window when one of their light bulb like fans rang the BBC to say. Top four easy. They had won a few games and when pressed on why they'd make ECL the fan said why not. The presenter said...Liverpool City Chelsea Spurs are so much better than you. The light-bulb says "Spurs! You're ha'vin a laff. Calvert-lewin will have Kanes England spot in six months! Not one of them gets in a head of what we’ve got"Them winning the transfer window seems like a lifetime ago.
Personally, I loathe the idea of suing Chelsea and blaming them for our under-achievement. That's not the Tottenham way.
We've had some fantastic players over the last 20 years or so and we've had several opportunities to win trophies. It's not Chelsea's fault that we blew most of them and it's not their fault that we missed out on the CL a couple of times.
And, as for Leicester, Leeds and Burnley - they were relegated because they weren't good enough to stay in the Premier League. Simple as that. The league table doesn't lie. Everton turned up to win the games they needed to win. The cry baby plaintiffs didn't. I wish these clubs would have some fucking dignity and own their mistakes.
That won’t last long thenApparently Everton board are in a meeting to discuss the future.
Personally, I think it stinks. It's always the struggling clubs that get the points deductions while Chelsea and Man City just walk between the rain drops.If we have broke the rules we have to accept the punishment , many fans have been protesting about Kenwright and the board for about 12 years with very little backing from national and local press (which seems to be only concerned about the goings on at the tinmine}.
The fans have been vilified and lied to for years and now the chickens are coming home to roost.My biggest worry is we have not hit rock bottom yet as if the take over by 777 group falls through we could very well go into administration and cop for another points deduction.
Ultimately it is the fans that suffer as none of this is our fault
