Airfixx and the gang after waking up to headlines like this
Tottenham post world-record £113 million profit
Which allows us to then go out in the next trf window and spend it all on players....?
:mourfacepalm:
Gay = "dirty"????
Where did I say gay. Don't twist it mug
Well you've suggested little else for the last few pages.
You're a mess.... There's no need for anyone to help the process along.
I asked you when I posted it mug.jog on and let the grown ups chat
Ooh your hard
You seem to have lots of homerphobic pictures. See what I did there
Eye and did they push on or did they under invest from there and flog the squad until it died pushing us back and undoing all that hard work?
They scrapped the model that got us there off buying young hungry players with potential seemingly not spending until the very last second became the new model or just not at all.
They then tried last year to fix it but it was to little to late the damage had been done and it looked like Poch and the players had also become frustrated with it.
Even Kane's making noise about how we need to be more ambitious.
I'm hoping that getting Mou in means we are gonna start throwing some weight around financially because really there is only 2 clubs in England and 5 in the world who should be outspending us now.
And we are gonna be in a better boat then most when the covid 19 situation is fixed hopefully to get some business done

CL was amazing but lucky and the not buying players in to help rotate policy ultimately killed us in the league and in the final.
And becoming a regular top 4 club was included in the they have taken us very far but can't seem to take the last step.
Let's face it if they had put there hands in there wallets and got a few decent players in that where very available to us. Mane, Ndidi, Grealish, Perez 4 players we obviously just didn't pay the cash for who would have improved us I can think off off the top of my head.
They also seemingly have fallen into the habit off letting players run down contracts now (Jan, Toby, Eriksen and Dembele I believe all recent ones) and letting Llorente go because again we didn't wanna pay the cash and selling Tripper cheap where also big mess ups.
Lots been going wrong last couple of years that's why we have gone from a whisker away from the PL title 2 years in a row to below Sheffield United and struggling for top 4 in that time frame
You are going to be disappointed, that's not going to happen especially not now.
Eye like I say with what's going on wouldn't surprise me and tbf that's ok as I doubt anyone will be bar the Oil money clubs.
But we could see other less lucrative leagues having to sell assets to survive and that might spur us and other PL clubs and the bigger foreign teams dip into the market when they knew others are desperate
What's that got to do with it?
You said: On the field dire for the past 3 years
....That's nonsense.
I can't wait to see the back of them TBH, but I think FFP has put paid to that ever happening. We'd cost too much to buy and be too restricted in the market for a serious investor to change things now without bending the rules. With City on the Ropes and other clubs having transfer window bans now isn't the time for rule bending.
People may shout about the facilities, but a training ground in a field wasn't hard to build and will be surpassed by the elite clubs within 10 years.
The stadium was a fucking fiasco. ENIC came in around 20 years ago and spent most of that posturing here there and everywhere, ultimately taking too long, costing too much and potentially never seeing the benefit of it on the pitch. I don’t have a problem with the place, but I can't really see how having to pay the finance on it, with still no naming rights over a year after it opened is helping us.
Then there's just the general embarrassing transfer window antics year after year after year.
All that for ONE league cup and rarely if ever have we seized a moment and pushed on from any glimmer of improvement. I think Levy landed on his feet both with Redknapp and with Poch. They were likely both taken on as the cheapest options.

They will sell eventually. That's what investment companies do.
Stadium: Increases matchday revenue; it's pretty simple. In the meantime, the naming rights deal is a deal worth taking time over as it'll be a long term one. When it finally arrives it's a huge windfall.
A windfall that the playing side won't benefit from I would guess
Well you were guessing wrongly yesterday that they were taking money from the club by paying themselves dividends...... Ergo; meh.
