As I said elsewhere, I think something like this is inevitable but I'd be lying if I said it didn't leave a very nasty taste in my mouth.
The simple fact is we are surely at a stage where without it, what's the point?
Maybe one day, the whole football league will be owned by wealthy motherfuckers.
It'll be like the Olympics without a ban on PED's. Imagine how good the Olympics would be if everyone was juiced,

If you are going to do a thread on this I would recommend switching to a poll such as the below.
Yes please
Not sure or bit worried
No way
exactly and to be honest its our best chance of winning something rather then be in purgatory for 20 more years
Not sure that would affect things according to some media reports Levy and the Sheikh are friends.
I don't even think it would be purgatory. Eventually fans will give up. I strongly believe we are at the end of a cycle. Kane, Son, Lloris are ageing, Erikson, Dele, Toby, Jan, Rose, Walker all gone.
That peak we had between 16-18 is long gone and, IMO, there's no possible way ENIC could ever pull that off again.
In that regard, once Kane is gone and if we fuck up replacing Lloris, I worry what comes next.
Money Talks
Yes, but there's not actually a link a with the Jewish, it's just a historical location.
The issue may be more that Levy himself is Jewish.
ENIC struck gold with Kane and that is highly unlikely to happen again.
A boy from the academy becoming the clubs highest ever goalscorer in the modern game is so rare.
Given the generally poor recruitment over the years I think it's clear that without him we probably wouldn't have been a top 6 club.
It will be very hard to replace Kane, Son and Lloris who have essentially carried this club for a decade.
This is where the standard of our recruitment will be tested. We could either do a Liverpool or we could do an Everton.
What's certain is that we need to spend big. We are too big a club to be taking the Brentford and Brighton approach to transfers.
Sadly hard to see how we can 'take that next step' without serious investment and unfortunately this is where it would likely have to come from.
No point in saying I'd stop supporting the club, because I wouldn't. Doubt there's much that could make me stop supporting spurs tbh.
I expect, like the hypocritical little cunt that I am, a few wins into a 'new era' I would quickly forget my misgivings and enjoy the ride. No point in lying about it.

Good buisness is where you find it .
I wouldn't stop supporting the club obvs, but I probably would stop coming to matches and buying merchandise for a while.
Yeah, that's right Spurs. Do this multi million pound deal and you can say goodbye to a grand of my money. That'll learn ya.
