    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    I watched the game yesterday from a beach in Benidorm (I know, poor me!) so had to watch via a stream. One thing they said in commentary that I hadn't noticed before is when defending corners we seem to go zonal at the near post, man to man at the rear. I'm tactically ignorant, but if this is...

    And, he got that goal.....against England, knocking us out of the Euros. I was screaming at the TV, not now!!!! All bloody season I cheered him on, willed him to be the player we all hoped for, and....nothing. Puts on a Portugal shirt, and breaks my heart!

    Tottenham express interest in signing Piero Hincapié

    One more window, and he has to write us a letter

    Loan Watch Troy Parrott - Excelsior Rotterdam

    I think at 22, HG or not it's best for both us and him to move him on if we don't feel he's up to the standard. It's one area the club always seem pretty good at: moving our youth to clubs they can build a career at even if they don't make it here.

    Alejo Veliz returns to London with permission from his loan club

    He can't play for another club this season, due to the 2 club limit. But, as he has played for us already and under 21, he doesn't need to be registered, does he?

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    Mix of both amortisation and new signings, but in the context of multiple years of posting losses, (without going full BSODL) it shows the club spends every penny (and more) of revenue on the team.

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    Player trading. This year, as in multiple previous years we have spent more on transfers than we have brought in through both overall revenue and sales, incurring a loss overall.

    Can we take a moment to laugh heartily at Everton?

    Issue seems to be the absolutely market value, and not at all dodgy in any way 'sponsorship deals' through businesses close to Usmanov. When he was sanctioned, the deals were void. Oddly, seeing as this was all completely above board and in absolutely no way an attempt to flush money into the...

    Financial Fair Play (general thread)

    You keep saying 'English law' like it means something! There is no law they could invoke. There is no court they can bring a case before. Unless the PL acts so egregiously as to completely ignore it's own rules as written - then there is a case for breach of contract. But outside of that, there...

    Financial Fair Play (general thread)

    Which law are you talking about? There is no law, no statute, no common law that would/could apply that would be enforeable by a court. The only possible court I can see that may be able to hear a case would be the CAS, and that is explicitly excluded in PL rules EDIT: With the exception of...

    Financial Fair Play (general thread)

    Part of the rules clubs must sign up is that the decision of the panel and appeal panel are final, and the CAS explicitly has no jurisdiction, no cases can be bought before them. There is no statute that covers it, ergo: there is no route through the courts. There are no basic rights...

    Financial Fair Play (general thread)

    But the PSR rules are exactly that, rules. They are the agreed terms all clubs must abide by to play in the Premier League. They are not laws. There are no courts. The rules themselves explictly bar cases going to the CAS (which is where UEFA rules came unstuck). All matters are concluded by...

    Harry Kane

    True, but the devil in me finds it VERY funny he left for guaranteed silverware and is very likely to end the season empty handed. I am a small, petty, bitter man - I know, but the longer he goes without a trophy the funnier I find it and well worth losing out on a few million quid

    Dele Alli at Everton

    Why on Earth would he return to us???? The whole point of the deal was to free up wages and a squad place from a player that had little to no chance of ever returning to the first team The deal was hedged in the highly unlikely event he found form and fitness again. It's pretty much turned...

    Hugo Lloris netted a £2million golden handshake by Daniel Levy for the remainder of his contract

    Good. The club saved money. Hugo got his move. And we treated an honourable servant of the club with decency and respect.

    Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Chelsea thread

    I'm sure you've said it repeatedly in this thread: It's not that they don't have saleable assets, it's that clubs with the money to pay big fees are tight on FFP, and clubs that have wriggle room on FFP have no money to pay big fees! It's all well and good saying this player is worth this...

    The Naming Rights Thread

    He was heavily involved in the INEOS deal wasn't he? Purely guessing, but maybe been poached by Ratcliffe at United?

    Player Watch Player Watch: Lucas Bergvall

    Yep, true but it means that it doesn't have to be done today. If he's got to stay until the summer anyway there is no reason it MUST be done tonight. We can do it tomorrow and the deal would go through in June when the window reopens
