Some people really don't know a similar quality player costs a lot more in 2020 than they would in 1999?! Must be a very generous owner. Every year I break my own world record for buying a snickers bar. Nothing to do with inflation of course.

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.

How many times has he broken our transfer record recieved by selling our best players over the last 20 years

Third time of asking

He was clearly fine going with Son and it backfired.
Had Son been out in January we’d have signed Piatek, simple as that

Mourinho didn't rate Piatek enough to ask Levy to spend £25m on him, only to most likely be looking to move him on again in the summer, sammy. Our squad is already jammed to the rafters with players we are struggling to shift.

bald
cunt
Levy

:levystare:

He is bald though

Isn’t he?

Bill
Where are you?
 
Simple question

Can we become serial winners (as in cups/leagues) with ENIC at the helm?

I guess if you're an ENIC fan and you still can't answer yes to that, then the follow up is "Are you happy with not winning much?"

Here's what we have to show for the last 20 years with ENIC

As Daniel Levy himself said

"We have to get over this obsession with spending money, it doesn't happen in other countries"

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!!

I think Lewis will sell, but Levy will stay on.

Mourinho on Tottenham failure to sign new striker: I cannot lie

Jose Mourinho says it will not be easy to play in three competitions "without a striker" after admitting he does not expect Tottenham to sign cover for Harry Kane before Friday's 11pm transfer deadline.
www.standard.co.uk www.standard.co.uk

"There's nobody to blame and say you could didn't do your job well or you could do better than you did. Not at all. Again, we don't want a striker to just help us now. We wants a striker to be good for our future, possible to play with Harry Kane together in the future. And with the difficulties of the market, it was very, very difficult to find [one]."

Possibility for sure....watch this space between now and next season for a boardroom/ownership shake up......Levy appears a frustrating fucker looking from the outside in, but he’s a smart guy and always has a plan. There is a reason Jose is here, his track record is second to none, he’s on a very long term expensive contract and Levy acted quickly knowing Jose wasn’t going to stay available for ever. He also knows Jose needs cash to build “his” type of team capable of winning trophies, and between now and the summer that cash will be made available one way or another......

Problem is Mourinho said he was happy with the squad - whether that was a lie to get the job won't make any difference to Levy, as you say he's a stubborn fucker and will expecting CL football with pretty much the current squad because that's what Mourinho promised.
