    In fairness to Crawley, there isn't much he could have done with that delivery that got him out.

    Yes the context was explained. 'Buy cheap buy twice' is one of the main reasons we have spent so much and our net spend looks so large. No one is saying you know less than others about the issues and facts at hand. You are completely right and you made a good point about the amount we are...

    We don't have to do it for every player but he made the point that players will join you if you pay the wages even if you aren't a massive elite club, like they did at Chelsea and City when they first started spending money.

    I would question why did we build the stadium if the transfer policy was going to be buying young prospects and developing them.

    Hang on, you have posted one fact which is the amount we have spent on transfer fees in the last 5 years. The context around this has been explained and with the money you factually stated, we have also bought 35 players (not including free transfers and loans) which is roughly £15.8 million per...

    Sorry I mean players who are judged to be worth their wages. Not to every single player. My point of 'pay the wages and the players will come' is more of a general point that wages are the biggest determining factor of where a player chooses to move to.

    We have people who are pro-Levy doing similar things (funnily enough they don't offer a rebuttal though). To your credit, you are providing a response but it isn't one way traffic. Also, don't claim your argument is the side of 'reason' or is the 'reality' of the situation. If anything, you are...

    I don't think anyone is saying we do what United have done but there is a mid way. Look at what Arsenal and Liverpool do. We have similar revenues to them.

    I would say this makes Levy look worse. If we could only get the funding for the stadium with these covenants restricting our football spending to a level where it wouldn't be 'game-changing', why take on the large debts and build the stadium? How does this benefit the football club in any way?

    We might have but this is down to Levy's 'buy cheap, buy twice' policy where he has consistently gone for players with mid level transfer fees and who will accept mid level wages. Funnily enough, these players turn out to be average and when it is decided we need to replace them, Levy just does...

    The spending has increased because the general level of spending in the PL has gone up significantly and so has the money PL clubs receive. We haven't made a conscious effort to spend more, it is just general PL 'inflation'.

    We finished 12th the year he took over, not great but we weren't relegation candidates either. The club was a sleeping giant with one of the largest fanbases in the country and located in London, it's not like he took over Bury FC.

    To me, that shows he doesn't really care about winning. He was happy to take a risk with the football club when it came to loading the club with loads of debt to build the stadium.

    That's true and he has done a much better job than Sugar but Tottenham was seen as one of the biggest and most successful teams in the country before so it isn't like the Sugar era was a reflection of how we always did.

    The club existed before Alan Sugar owned it.

    We don't need to back it up with transfer fees and wages as Levy has got his own strategy which is definitely going to work for us. It hasn't worked for anyone else but it definitely will for us.

    The bloke has used the football club to vastly enrich himself and his mate and done it at the expense of the football club. Forgive me if I don't tug my forelocks because he does an interview through the club and give us a load of empty platitudes.

    Nah, he would just say he believes you can League Titles and the Champions League without 'breaking the bank' and he wants to do it the hard way.

    Yeah it just comes across as saying the right things to shut the fans up for another 1-2 years so they keep pumping money in. Some of the stuff Levy said just came across as blatant lies.

    Oh yes, you are 100% correct. Any excuse for the bald ****.
