I bet you'll not find a single quote where I said that.
I've often said spending big money gives you a better shot at winning trophies.
And considering we don't spend big, and we don't win any trophies, the evidence backs me up doesn't it?

Liverpool spend big, West Ham spend big, Everton spend big, Woolwich spend big.....in fact we spend the least of all clubs, yet keep finishing above them.
You seem to think because City and Chelsea broke football, thats the only model to follow, yet Leicester beat them all to a title while the year after we were runners up.
Your theory isnt about Spurs and trophies, its just about you wanting players.
Yes, yes I did
Tottenham News: Pundit touts '£65m' bid for PL ace after big development
In the latest Tottenham news, Danny Mills has tipped the club to make a £65million bid for a red-hot Premier League ace after a big development.
Carlos Vinicius for 40mil or Danny Ings for 65 mil ?
Too choosy a manager certainly didn't help.

Grealish deal agreed with old owner of Aston Villa but new owners refused to sanction sale after completing their purchase of club in record time. New owners bet that the £200m+ advantage of getting to PL outweighed any price they could get for Grealish......and they were right
So money available,......just not invested by manager
So
RESPECT THE COCK
you don't believe all the journalists reporting from the players side (not Spurs side) ?
Hmm I think Poch was picky this window yeah but Levy's pathetic attempt at signing Grealish was the problem.
£3m + Onomah
Daily Mail claim that we (along with Liverpool and United) are in for Dybala again in the summer.
This rumour will not die until he goes somewhere else.

I suspect that's a rumour - the feedback from the local press well connected at Birmingham at the time is that Levy bid somewhere around the £25m mark which the then owner accepted saying that he couldn't complete until Villa was sold (typically there is a standstill agreement on sale of assets during the sale of a business), new owners bought and completed on purchase of Villa in far shorter time than anyone expected.
Unexpectedly they said no sale - we are betting that with Grealish in the side we can make PL which is worth hundreds of millions to us so we aren't interested in selling the player. Balls of steel to make that call, but they were right. Sadly for Spurs.
Problem was there seemed to be no Plan B, C or D, after De Jong and Grealish. I'd have had a younger player lined up who needed a year of development as one of the options simply because we know no club ever gets its top pick of players every time.
Here is where it all went wrong
