Cheers haven't really seen any hype since they were ripping it up......would be nice to see them create some kind of cycle of success in periods

So in years gone by Levy was approached by Roman about a buyout and he said "no". Where would we be now if things had gone the other way?
I'll tell you:
It would be like winning a race but cheating, everyone else would have seen the sly move and your victory whilst on paper would remain it would be hollow. That's how I feel about certain clubs:
Man City - anything they achieve is by cheating
Chelsea - anything they achieve is by cheating
West Ham - anything they achieve is by cheating (pure robbery that stadium)
I don't like Woolwich but they have done it the hard way. Fair enough, can't argue with that. Man U have been a massive well run club for many years pulling off some huge commercial deals making them one of the biggest clubs in the World, they genuinely generate a huge income and have for many years. the rest of use (mostly) are doing things differenly

In 10 years time when their cabinets are full of trophies, no one is going to say they won those by cheating. They will say club with history of "dodgy" trophies.

We don't have a "first 11", Poch has said this on so many occasions
Chances are you'd have to look for someone young and up coming and someone who will accept average wages. Those players take time to find, and that's only if they are available.
I think their history will be tainted by the lavish doping of oil money
And in ten years time when ours is full, I will laud our policy proudly in front of those who needed to spend a billion of someone else's cash.
Then again, so will you.....like a true bandwagon hopper. Congrats
Nobody really knows that. He might as well be very frustrated with him
14 years in to Roman's tenure, 13 years since their first trophy and what are we saying about their 'History'? It's written, they cheated!
Except Poch has said he has a great relationship with Levy and Levy has said the same about Poch. So we do know that.
It doesn't matter to some.
All that matters is "trophies".
They see no difference. To them it would be exactly the same if a poor person from a normal background worked hard for 20 years, opened a restaurant from scratch with his own money, and slowly generated a successful business and a top place to eat...........and some rich lazy kid that was given it by daddy and made money in one week.
Thankfully most people have and ounce of decency and find little pleasure in undeserved and vulgar "success" stories
But it 's legal and legit.

in t'other thread, but feels applicable in here 'n'all. Read it or don't. I care not. 
Despite spending nothing, Spurs' ambition should be lauded not questioned

Nobody knows anything then in that case.
The evidence points to a strong working relationship that goes both ways and both believing in the policy.
You can assume anything.
I can assume that your missus wants to bang her boss, maybe she has? Maybe she's unhappy with you.....you never know
What a weird and morbid way to go through life
Are you a fucking fortune teller?
Why are you even here if you know it's going to be so shit for us? Log off and await doomsday in peace instead
Woolwich might have set to high a difficulty rating for their game. Not only do they not compete on the sign-big-front (although they have spunked some cash lately), it seems they also try to mostly have players that spend at least half of each season being injured and they reverse develop their young players, making each player worse every season. Look at the trajectory of Gibbs, Wilshere, Ramsey, Coquelin, Walcott, Bellerin, their poland ex keeper, Bendtner, and so on. Ridiculous.
What the hell do you understand about the points you are making, someone on here will always have a clearer understanding of what you meant than you did.
Strangely it usually turns out to be the same posters, and whoever it is he/they/it are on my ignore list.
My advice is do the same. Life is so much more pleasant when you don't have read the turgid responses to points you are making - from some of the know all's on here.
Probably people who couldn't hit a barn with a football from ten feet, in all of their lives, but suddenly become experts of all aspects of the game.
Calm down it's Friday and nearly lunch time and have a pint on me if you drink, if not lunch on me.
The internet era made the summer unbearable, I may be remembering it wrong but transfer windows weren't all that exciting and high tempo in the 90's. The lack on constant push notifications with stupid rumours made it calmer
