What you quoting me for? I couldn’t care less how we do it. Your way, his way, their way, I have no preference, I’m a whore

While I agree with the notion that if we had been bought by a billionaire and he spend £500m odd on signing the worlds best players, leading to us winning the league and/ or champions league, I would be no less delighted just because we'd 'bought the title', as ultimately what counts for me is watching good football and hopefully seeing us win trophies, I equally think that we are seeing very good football (on the whole), consistently amongst the best in the league each season since Jol was manager, and that the end result of this patience will still be trophies.
That's incredibly naive and there is no guarantee it would work. In the end it leaves us further us further behind then we already are. The stadium simply had to happen.
No you may as well not say that because it's nonsense and unrelated to what I said. The easiest and safest way to increase the quality on the pitch and realistically compete is increasing matchday revenue and the most effective way to do that is...
Generally, I'd say fuck all but it's half time in the footie so I got five to kill, sod it, say it............
Totally agree with you, Coops. The hatred and animosity is senseless. It certainly doesn't allow anyone to assess ENIC's operations in a balanced and dispassionate way. This website alone is clearly indicative of just how polarised options are; there never seems to be any middle ground, does there mate? What I would say though, Coops, is an expectation on behalf of supporters for the Board of a football team to actually spend money on buying a footballer shouldn't be viewed as "a sense of entitlement"; rather it should be seen as a basic requirement. Our owners haven't done that in over a year. (And let's remember that the last one they bought, only came about when "the financials suddenly moved our way"; which I believe might be ITK code for, "he became a lot cheaper"!). Let me say that again, mate: our owners haven't invested in the squad in over a year!! I don't think any supporter should feel compelled to be "ok" about that. Regardless of the credit ENIC undoubtedly deserve for developing the profile of the Club, their recent(?) transfer record has clearly not been good enough, Coops. And for me, it serves as the single most arresting factor why many question their motives moving forward. Hope all's good with you mate.

Is that actually a widely known term in football or did you just make it up? Because I think what you think there is possibly massively wide of the mark.
I thought Levy was to a degree speculating to accumulate (how else do we manage to get an almost zero net spend) with the (sensible) transfer policy we've been using and what would you call spending squillions on a new stadium, now we find out that all the time we've had Peter fucking Ridsdale in charge?
Am I having a massive blank moment here?
Ah you too, Coops. Thanks mate. All the very best to you and yours.
You write as though the football side and the financial side are competing interests. In fact they are fully aligned.
I've never seen this. Even amongst the most die hard anti-Levyites, the most rabid nutcases, the good he's done gets acknowledged. I honestly can't recall a total denial happening and if it did it was surely just one or two persons who had temporarily escaped supervised care. I just cannot recall seeing anyone say Willow has not ever done any good for Spurs and certainly not to the extent it must be happening for you to get the itch about it.
I assume we’re closer to winning something serious last few years than any other time you can remember?
