Hopefully has matured but seems to have been a prize bellend in his early career.

I'm not the same human I was when I was a teenager.
I very much doubt either version of myself would like the other one.

this guy sold lukaku for 100 M to chelsea and the next year took him back for 10M
Looks like he's got one eye on another deal.
 
This all sounds logical and reasonable.

Until you realise that teams with no more money than Spurs outspent Spurs most years.
For a large portion of the 00's you'd say only Chelsea and Man United should have had the power to comprehensively outspend Spurs. The rest of the league didn't have the power of United or the wealth of Chelsea. The Emptycrates didn't open until 2006 and actually hindered Woolwich and yet they completely outspent us and continue to do so most seasons.

The simple fact of the matter is, some teams speculated to accumulate and some ran the team like a business, trying to increase income to subsequently increase spending.
We fell into the latter and, as a result, had a very, vey slow climb. Teams like the rich clubs, Woolwich, Liverpool to some degree gambled by spending the money to elevate themselves as quickly as possible or where there was an opportunity.

What I'm willing to say is that what is done is done and no amount of internet bitching changes it.
If the leopard has changed it's spots and keeps the new ones then this place should be better for everyone.


How many of those other teams were building a stadium ?
 
One thing to be said is that Paratici is really showing how easy it is to get deals done when you have good forward planning and good industry contacts.

We were really up against it with clowns like Hitchens going around signing N'duds every window and even Poch parroting the club's bullshit stance of 'It's very hard to improve our team'.

Good to have someone in that can actually get us behaving like the top club we apparently aspire to be.
All true but it suddenly makes ahuge difference that th e penny has finally dropped with Levy and instead of you buy with funds we get from sale to here is cash use it as you see fit and I wont interfere.
 
In terms of selling GLC & Reguilon, I note both now have "super agent" Kia Joorabchian hawking them around.

Joorabchian will be trying to get them a move to a "big club", and he does seem to have contacts & influence. The downside is self-styled super agents tend to demand bigger slices of the financial pie than mere mortals.....
