Several of the ‘supporters’ on here want Woolwich to succeed because they misguidedly think that it’s going to hasten Levy’s exit. As if that’s going to happen. Woolwich have twice won the league on our ground — in ground-breaking years for them — and our owners didn’t exactly commit hari-kiri in embarrassment.
Having said that, there are at least a couple of genuine Scum fans on here taking the piss who wouldn’t get through the door of our pub on game day.
I'd be stunned if a single Tottenham fan wants Woolwich to succeed. It would make a bad situation as a fan much worse and i doubt Levy would be concerned, it certainlywouldnt hasten any sale of the club . About the only good thing over the last 4 seasons was pipping them to the champions league spot, a rare bit of enjoyment. But what did it achieve? We didnt push on at all and they've carried on spending and improved again. Because they have owners that want success and we have owners that aren't bothered. Its not wanting them to do well its facing reality.
 
of course it's not far off and the point stands. Airfixx Airfixx is just being difficult and nit picking.

So if we do avg 150m per season can I claim 200m instead too?

Fuck Woolwich and fuck polishing them up at our expense.

P.s. what are you doing in this other than being awkward?

MemphisWill MemphisWill has given this board a pretty accurate description of Kroenke’s record as a sports franchise owner. Add to that, Woolwich are far worse now than when he assumed full control. While you can talk about Levy selling our best players, Kroenke sold Van Persie, their best player, within a year (or maybe two?) of acquiring majority ownership.

I agree they were shit initially but got better. I dont know if the kickback on the super league spooked them or something else but regretably they have got their act together. Ours did well enough for a while, we improved from Sugar but they've now led us back to pretty much where they found us. They have had loads of last chance saloons and they may have even pulled it round if they had a plan and spent some money this summer but the game has moved on and they cant change. Where is the plan?
 
Anyone else reckon that Bryan Gil has all the attributes to be a commanding linchpin of a CB for us?

Maybe that's why we haven't yet moved on a new CB?

Perhaps Ange has asked us to hold fire on new CBs till he's had the chance to see Gil in the role ??

Of course no one will have considered this, easier to melt and whine isn't it
 
Meanwhile, over to Ange Postecoglou
