With £££ in football & transfer fee's falling massively its suprising teams are all breaking there record for transfer fee's
Money in football always spikes and simmers when TV Deals are concluded. The longer Tav companies keep paying more, the longer fees will inevitably rise. I personally don't see the vast inflation TV companies are adhering to rising like they have in such large percentages but we'll see. The next TV deal due for English teams is 2022 I believe.
Fair enough, but the media who were breaking the story and its developments were staid local papers and radio, not the headline-splashing tabloidesque Marca, As, Mundo Deportivo or Sport
Real Sociedad aren't a club that normally attracts a media frenzy, quite the opposite really

I remember reading something from an apparently reliable local Norwegian news outlet saying that we were advanced in discussions to conclude a deal for Sander Berge back in 2018 I believe it was. Norwegian locals saying it was a guy with his ear very close to the ground over in Oslo and nothing came of it. I guess unless something comes out at a later date we'll never know Bill.
And that applies to those think they can run a football club better than Levy too right?

Or can defend better than Trippier?
“Except when we get to CL finals but when we lose then I don’t support them anymore”
Talking to a pretty savvy business man recently and he says anyone taking Spurs at face value these days would believe Levy/Lewis have priced themselves out of the market if their planning to sell the club anytime soon ie; not many have the cash to buy a “modest” football club for approximately 1.5bn quid before doing anything else after that, and that rich people are rich for a reason, they aren’t foolish with their money....good point to be fair....
What he does believe tho is this chain of events might happen:
The owners have basically mortgaged the stadium meaning a buyer would never have to come up with all the cash required to buy the club all at once, it would basically be a case of buying L&L out and the mortgage stays with the club, so the club looks like 1.5bn on paper but would take only a fraction of that to buy....
He also believes the naming rights still up for grabs (Un-Levy like) has an underlaying agenda, he thinks Levy and Co don’t want to sell but instead bring in a massive partner, their share of the deal will be having their brand all over the place while Levy still runs the show....if you think about it, it’s a win win any way you look at it...because Levy and Lewis are still major shareholders any money from share sales can “legally” stay within the club as would any additional sponsorship....
It’s almost doing a Man City, but legally!!

He's been here 20 fucking years man.
At least be fucking sensible about it if you're gonna join the debate.
Are you saying all Newcastle fans should suck off Mike Ashley cos he broke Newcastles record transfer fee twice in 12 months?
Man City got a fair bit of investment recently from selling some shares externally didn't they? Seemed like a cover up tactic, I think it was for £300m or so, let me check
Edit: here it is, instant cash and all above board according to the accountants:
Manchester City owner sells 10% share for £389m to US private equity firm
A deal with Silver Lake has valued City Football Group at £3.74bn, confirming it as one of the most valuable sports companies in the world

Its stupid to blame Mourinho when he can see Parrott everyday and probably knows the kid is not as great as fans think he is.So what you're saying then is that you are, indeed, a better judge of team selection than 22 x trophy winner Jose Mourinho
So we now have to thank the owners for our heroic champions league run.
Not Poch and the players.
Yes of course. What a glorious hat trick that was from Levy on that glorious night in Amsterdam.
I see you wouldn't answer the question then? ... are you afraid of the answer? Here have another go ...
Bazali
asked: But how many times have we broken our transfer record under Levy?
Would that be by a player the owners bought? .... you logic is impeccable ...

It's a stupid fucking question that doesn't warrant an answer when you look at the amorphisation of the transfer market over the last 2 decades.I see you wouldn't answer the question then? ... are you afraid of the answer? Here have another go ...
How many times has he broken our transfer record recieved by selling our best players over the last 20 years
I'm told its not the owners that choose our players though
No actually it was the player we never bought in 2018
How many football clubs you run John?Don't be ridiculous.
sammyspurs sees him far more than Mourinho

So you don't know .... got it
FYI - the answer is seventeen times since Rebrov under Sugar ..... can you name any owners who have broken their club's transfer record more times than ENIC and Levy?
as for received records ... you tell me, let's see if you know about anything that you're as usual wildly gobbing off about
