    Match Threads Spurs vs Watford - Match Thread - Day 3 - KO 2:00 pm

    Atmosphere was tense more than quiet. I don’t think the fans could trust us at 1-0 to win and go top. But everyone was behind the team. Defence solid. Back 4 transformed. Plan is clearly to build a solid base and grow from here.

    Spurs mimic Man Utd tactic in a bid to boost transfer activity amid £600m debt

    Pathetic Express article (can't speak for the original Athletic one). 'Mimic' Man Utd, LOL. The refinancing of commercial short term debt into long term institutional private placements is as old as the hills, done thousands of times over the past few decades in other industries than football. I...

    I sit right behind the Spurs bench. The sweat pouring off Lamela when he came off was amazing. He really does put in a shift. Ndombele looked super happy. Really warm congrats for him from our squad. Eriksen before he came on just watched the game really intently. Like super studying it...

    Gareth Bale

    Parity with what? In my example Bale would get £200k pw from Spurs (and £200k pw equivalent from RM, probably paid as some kind of "release fee" on departure). So at Spurs he'd be on similar to Kane. Same applies to United however IF they were able to negotiate the same deal. If Bale's on £400k...

    Gareth Bale

    Here is an update to my post in this Bale thread on 15th May 2019 (page 9, post #178). Link http://www.spurscommunity.co.uk/index.php?threads/gareth-bale.136353/page-9#post-6341439 I wrote the following back then: “So there is a stand-off between Madrid and Bale with Daniel Levy lurking in...

    William Saliba signs for Arsenal

    Transfers are poker. Arsenal have ended up having to pay more, and maybe worse terms, to sign a player. Spurs’ “interest” obliged them to have to do that. It is not always a question of “winning” or “losing” a signing. We have depleted their transfer budget. We had a price or terms we (maybe)...

    You know what Daniel Levy is like. He is different

    And to be fair to the manager, no way could he (Poch) have expected an injury crisis like we had, a run to the CL final and 3/4 season at Wembley.

    You know what Daniel Levy is like. He is different

    Nah, I wasn't picking on anybody in particular and certainly not you. TBH, I wrote my post in Word and then pasted it into the thread. I started writing my post as soon as I saw the title. I hadn't read the comments in the meantime until I posted. My comment about glass 'half full' and 'half...

    You know what Daniel Levy is like. He is different

    Very few people have yet realized the change in Spurs’ finances that is happening now and will accelerate over the next 2-3 years. Most analysis focuses on the past (recent accounts, etc.). I wrote an article a couple of years ago on the future that’s now coming to fruition. Within a year it...

    You know what Daniel Levy is like. He is different

    I am glad somebody else has written this post and I didn’t have to write it. It needed to be said. Daniel Levy has transformed our football club. I’m 62. I’ve been a Spurs fan since I was 6. My first match was the Charity Shield when double-winners Spurs beat England 3-2. I’ve been a...

    Hence I wrote “I doubt” ie. as an opinion not as a fact. It was the OP who stated a figure as if it’s a fact.

    I doubt the 25pc would be on the whole fee CP get. Sell on clauses are on the ‘profit’ made by a club. This isn’t necessarily just what they get less what they paid. ‘Profit’ will be defined in each contract. And costs reducing profit might include wages paid during the years the club held onto...

    Gareth Bale

    Article in the Times today, for those interested (I don’t buy it but saw hard copy in Doc’s waiting room). The article doesn’t really say anything new. Endorses the sensible stuff that’s been posted in this thread. RM want him out. Bale won’t roll over and ‘bale’ them out. So a huge stand off...

    Gareth Bale

    Bale wouldn’t have posted a good luck Spurs message, much as he might have wanted to, due to the way it would have been interpreted and manipulated by media in Spain, here, etc. And for contractual reasons. His case against Madrid is that he’s owed 3 years £. If he does anything to suggest he’d...

    About to head off to stadium with wife and one son. Meeting other son there. Daughter lives in Mongolia but she’ll be with us in spirit. I posted here on the night Crouch scored at City.

    Gareth Bale

    The club chose not to play Bale in friendlies prior to his move to RM, not the other way round. It made total sense for everybody, not to risk a £85m transfer (if he got badly injured) for the sake of him featuring in some pre-season games. It’s usual to ‘dress up’ the non appearance as he’s...

    Gareth Bale

    Just imagine, for a moment, that Levy and Poch were chatting a month ago. Levy: you know these major targets we have, they want assurances about our ambition and investment. That we have some kind of plan. Before they’ll sign for us. Poch: yeah, and Toby and Cristian say similar things. Levy...
