    And don’t forget they’re not talking about selling. They’re talking about additional investment.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Some close to the club have suggested that he's not fully recovered from his malaria. Maybe just needs more time? Yet another tricky one, but balancing the squad whilst improving the "1st team" isn't an easy job because there are relatively few obvious out-and-out weaknesses.

    Global exposure. There are countless ways that can be done, and the value is enormous: companies are prepared to pay hundreds of millions for it, and this way they can get it for no net expense. Influence. . 25% ownership can buy you very considerable influence. The Man Utd deal illustrates...

    Player Watch Player Watch: James Maddison

    It’s worth remembering that Eriksen was consistently the player who covered the most distance in play. Because he was so naturally athletic it appeared effortless, and because it appeared effortless he got accused of not being athletic enough! I think we sometimes don’t appreciate how good...

    Match Threads Fulham vs Spurs

    Interesting bit of psychology there isn't it? The past negatives are "they". The more optimistic look ahead is "we". (Personally I think as long as they don't get sloppy, we'll smash Fulham.)

    Ange said he's had a few setbacks and is still quite a long way off from a return to the squad.

    What Our Opponents' Fans Are Saying About Us 23/24

    This from Villa Talk, in response to the discussion about Ange being “the most over-hyped manager in the prem”: “ . . there was a lot of hype early on, but it's because they were top of the league and won all their games. As they had a slump the hype largely disappeared, and hasn't really...

    He appears to be a conscientious and intelligent player who I would expect will seriously try to address any weaknesses in his game> But for a youngster who isn't yet a regular, he is doing incredibly well, making progress and making an impact. I don't think the criticism of his play was...

    La Liga 23/24

    Yeah, but it feels like favouring one team over the other to me if you add a bit of time to let them score. Just as bad to blow early to save the a team because they're under pressure. The only fair thing is play to the clock regardless, is my opinion.

    Why bad form to play to the clock?

    I’ve still got mine. I didn’t think it was ever compulsory to sell. I may have forgotten the details though!

    You don'r trust a billionaire who asks for the government to pay for a new stadium for the club he's just bought into, claiming it's for the public good, and who's moved his tax residence to Monaco to avoid paying taxes ... Why ever not?

    The Utd deal feels very unstable to me, unless there's a lot more to it than I know, which is very likely.

    Depends on the agreement between the Lewis and the Levy trusts. There will 100% definitely be a shareholders agreement between them. In my experience virtually all joint owners have a clause that says any offer made to one party has to be made to the other(s). This would mean that if the offer...

    New Stadium Details And Discussions

    I remember a consultation meeting with architects, Levy and one or two other Spurs execs, before NPD existed, when the plan was the redevelopment of WHL, concentrating on rebuilding the West Stand and improving the other three stands. I believe it was during that period and as a result of...

    New Stadium Details And Discussions

    I think many people either forget or didn’t know that redeveloping WHL was the club’s preferred option. Bit because of the limitations caused by the existing footprint, the maximum capacity would have been mid 40s, with no scope for expanding facilities and all the other stuff that brings in...

    Indeed. The difficulty in predicting how a sale would be organised if the major shareholders have different objectives is that there will certainly be shareholders agreements in existence between them, yet we have no idea of the detail of the contents. They will certainly restrict some of...
