I think we know the answer because it nearly happened. Without Sugar we would have gone.

The thing with me is that it's not football that I love, it's Tottenham. So if Tottenham didn't exist, I'd knock football on the head.
Sugar with his views. No love lost with the PFA here. Worth a listen.
Very true. & in fact people wear it as a badge of honour & boast about it. "I will always turn up & support the boys, no matter what. That's just the kind of guy I am. I will always love this club. I bleed (insert clubs colours). Anyone boycotting the club can piss off. We don't need you fairweather supporters. We need more fans like me. Did I mention I am a better fan than all of you!! :mourbringit:
What do you think will happen if everyone boycotts the club?
By that I mean everyone, not one person buying a ticket for games etc
It could be a new enlightenment, and that could make or break football, set a level decency, erode the presence of the corrupt billionaire.
If the Berlin wall can come down then there is always hope no matter how unlikely.
Keep safe brother
Or we could go out of business.
Nobody turns up, we have to sell players, slip down the leagues, Levy decides he'll get more for the land than the club, sells to a developer.
Gravytrain-ing cunts were always gonna prove useless in the face of any game-wide issue.
Now this is interesting but on balance no. I do love "Football" at it's best it's an electrifying spectacle of power, skill , geometry and magic. As I write these words I recall being a very small boy and running into the front room as my father (long dead and much missed) celebrated as that Brazilian team of 1982 bewitched. That had nothing to do with my obsession with Spurs, but it was real and glorious. I feel that less and less but anyone who did not spend the month between the Ajax semi final and the final grinning innanely probably never was hooked.
If you & the likes of your chums had your way; we'd be fucked right now anyway.
C19 making a mug of you.
I can enjoy a really good game as a neutral but so very few games live up to their billing. The game is played by cynics and run by power-mad despots.
Yes, I was on Cloud 9 when we qualified for the CL final, but I was miserable for months after - not sure I'm over it yet. The only reason I put up with the crap is because I love Tottenham, I wouldn't put myself through all the grief for any other team.
I think my interest in football has faded quite a bit.
When I was younger I’d watch every game I could, regardless of who was playing. Used to love Football Italia. Now I won’t even bother watching England unless it’s in the Euros or World Cup, and I certainly don’t watch any club games not featuring Spurs.
I don’t mind going to watch Bristol City play every now and then, but that’s more about the day out with friends.
My beef is with player wages. Transfers that don't reflect the quality of a player and players not beeing held accountable. Accountable for not winning. Not appearing because they are unfit or injured or just running to the media and creating a bad atmosphere when they feel wrong done by. I am on my tits end with football.
This is a very sentimental post. You would pay to go see a team just because you love them. No matter what they did?
You have a problem with players not appearing when they are injured?
I have a problem with them getting full wages when they are injured.
After 2 months injury the wages should be drastically reduced. Perhaps pay 30% of normal wages
