80’s we were the biggest club bar Utd/Liverpool even tho Goons, Villa and Everton won more…. 90’s we were Sugar’d (Mike Ashley 1.0) and ENIC have done a 6/10 since to steady it. We haven’t developed into anything, we’ve merely drifted back up to somewhere close we always were in the 50’s-80’s
Not saying they are Sugar / Ashley low level, but the football side is a shitfest based on our heritage.
They aren’t hopeless, but they are certainly not geniuses like you make out
The "forgotten" man Reece Oxford may be a useful backup option at CB; although I doubt he'll return to the EPL to be a backup.
I think he would be considered a home-grown player (and he was once a Spurs academy player, before joining West Ham)

Our massive valuation is like you say tied to the huge investment in the club's assets. The underlying infrastructure. Big modern state of the art stadium and training facilities. Like you say...externally financed with long term debt structured to support that investment.
The valuation of the club is therefore tied to the long term cash generated by these assets. More fans..spending more in the stadium...the hope players will develop better at a top notch training ground and be sold at a profit.
All of that doesn't happen overnight, though, so whilst we are valued sky high the cash will come in time.
To expect the owners to put their hands in their pockets just isn't how ENIC's business model works and adds financial risk. They've shown they will pay transfer fees in recent years with Romero,GLC,NDombele, etc. The big issue is we have recently signed too many duds more than anything.
He's got it bad for Spurs/Conte.
Our guy is a magnet, Levy use him you fool!

This is exactly the type we should be scouring, especially HG who have fallen due to career/personal issues.
No idea if he's as good as he might have been, but this is where we can really turn the team around (if we get 2-3 HG underperforming to peak £ types in).
Then I want us to Rape You.
Ahem...Dele....
You questioned risk aversion around transfer dealings; my point around risk aversion was linked back to why it isn't worth the risk overpaying for players in that category (I.e. recent injury history)I have never mentioned lamptey not once now that is madness
Ahem...Dele....
He's broken himself physically for his Gym shots though...
I know, mate, I don't think he will ever be the same player as he was. He had some hamstring issues, right? Hasn't been the same since.
Maybe a change of scenery will do him good as a player but even then I can't see a Lingardesque renaissance from him
You blew all this hot air about 30m > 2bn and "unlimited budgets:" and this is the best you can come back with? I'm embarrassed for you.
Admit it... You didn't comprehend a damn thing written, did you? ....So you thought "screw it; I'll just throw around some more big sounding rhetoric and wing it".....
Your take that ENIC simply lay back and counted up the booming TV revenue as we naturally regained a so-called rightful place at the top end of our game is utter ignorance.
20 years of mis-management left us in the relative shitter. We didn't just randomly/accidentally drift to where we are and have been of late. You're talking crap. You seem to have forgotten that before Sugar, Scholar was run out of town as many GENUINELY feared for the future of the club(*) and that Sugar & Tel for a while were seen as saviours only for it to prove to be a false dawn.
(*Genuine fear; not this faux-fear of relegation the melts conjur up every summer when we don't keep up with the spending of the petro-clubs.)
Sugar's subsequent reluctance to embrace the brand opportunity of the birth of the EPL left us in the gutter commercially speaking..... The timing of his dis-investment couldn't have been any worse.
FFWD..... That run of league finishes of 3rd 2nd 3rd 4th between 15 & 19 is the best sustained run of league finishes this club has had since 1962..... In an age of petro-club domination where even Man United are struggling to get on an even keel since Fergie left.
You say in the 80's we were the 3rd biggest club despite the Goons, Everton & Villa winning more, but just around the corner you'll be arguing that only trophies speak for the true stature of a club.
Yes, I'm fucking starving for a trophy (probably more than you and your foot-stompy kin well ever appreciate!) and I'll whole-heartdly decry that I want more, but your hollow, blow-hard take on the journey our club has been on and what you feel you are entitled to is a joke.

By Kicker he was rated as the 13th best CD in the Bundesliga after a half-played season (above, f.ex., Joško Gvardiol, Mats Hummel)

Saw his passing is a weakness, but as said, due to HG if the club think he's the best Tanganga replacement to balance those books, cool beans...
