Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Nope. Dig deep enough and the shit stuff will be there.
Honestly can’t believe people would accept a Saudi takeover. I’d hand in my ST immediately. Our owners may have their weaknesses but they’re British and Levy is Spurs.
He may be a c*** but he is Spurs, London and British. And he doesn’t routinely hack to death people who criticise him.
(*you’re)
Are you ok then with Spurs signing non-British players? Lol
Of course. But we’re talking about the ownership of the club. I’d much rather it stays in British hands. And I certainly wouldn’t support Saudi ownership. Pretty easy to understand why. Chelsea and City’s achievements will always be tainted because they’ve landed on endless funds from foreign ownership which, ethics aside, have just smashed up the organic growth and evolution of football.
I said yes because our owners are far from innocent lambs and likely have made a lot of money working with the kind of governments that people are complaining about being owners of the clubs. I guess it is easier to rationalize it if it is arm lengths away but not sure how much of a difference that their really is.
Almost everybody would have had to accept it. What are they going to do support another team?
I have only ever supported the club, not the owners. So unquestionably would still buy tickets and attend games. I probably wouldn't buy as much merch though. I admit although wold hurt the owners, it would still hurt the club.
I've never found the need to protest etc. I can only really remember the Sugar era onwards, but I would campaign vociferously to get rid of the owners. Although I doubt it would have much affect.

I would cut the head of any journalist they chose to push it through too!
of course
seeing us win trophies in my lifetime would be amazing

My answer is yes, nut them my character is such tjat I think I woupd check out.
I like the idea of winning but I like more the idea of winning with some degree of doubt about the result and because players have been bought and developed and because they really care about the club.
Its a touch idealistic on my part but if we ever won things as a result of a multi billion pound takeover I am sure I will celebrate but it won't mean as much as it would have done had we achieved it lets say during Pochettino' s reign.

Because I would!
We've become a "Win at all costs" mentality.... it's not our fault, we're merely the Western Idiots who have fallen in love with the Western Capitalist dream that money buys happiness.... more fool us!
and the irony is, it takes some Saudi/Middle-Eastern Sheikh to show us what TRUE HAPPINESS IS... buy your success.... that's happiness! and now we belittle it... and yet it's all we ever dreamed of!
Western Capitalist greed mentality.... fuelled by Middle Eastern Oil money wealth to satisfy that greed .,...
only thing is, you've gotta strike Gold/Oil first!
It's a fool's conundrum!

Its better to try to win at all costs rather than lose to make the owner rich.
