How will Levy weaken us this window?

[Arthur Hucksake]

We could have had a proper got at top 4 this season, but he has opted not to. Instead he is choosing to save money.

The club even rates Mason and the sort above Tommy Carroll which is outright strange. They even think Dier or Drunken Churches make for a better right back than Naughton when Walker gets crocked, or needs a rest.

We have weakened the outfit and saved money.

Not just January, bet every transfer window.

 

[Arthur Hucksake]

He's a WUM. I suggest ignoring.

No, I am not. You will see for yourself come end of season. Be the nearly men, like we always are. It is by design while Baldy and old Joe are turning over a steady pension fund. It is all about just those two.

Sure, of course you're not

 

[Arthur Hucksake]

People forget when he flogged Berbatov and Keane and we ended up with the likes of Pav and Campbell ... ON LOAN.

 

[Arthur Hucksake]

Why would I wind anyone up? I didn't sell Berbatov and replace him with Fraser Campbell on loan. What is wrong with you.

Didier Zokora replaced Carrick ffs.

Absolute brinkmanship and you call me a WUM for pointing it out.

So other than half the transfer windows we weaken every transfer window?

Did selling our fringe players and buying Stambouli, Fazio, Vorm Davies and Dier weaken us this season?

We've lost a few star players to Real Madrid and like anyteam struggled to adequately replace them but outside of that I really see no basis for your nonsense.

Tell us about this pension fund and show us how the money travelled from the club's accounts to Lewis's and Levy's.

Cheers.

You think Dier, Vorm, Davies of Fazio have improved the club in any given sense?

Berbatov, Modric, Carrick, Bale. £200m on those alone we brought in, and what did we get in return?

10/11 .... Purchased. £32m .... sold £33. Net profit.... £1m.
11/12 .... Purchased. £8m .... sold £35m... net profit .... £27m
12/13 ... Purchased... £61.5m ... sold £62.8m ... profit £1.3m
13/14 ... Purchased... £103.7m ... sold £113.5m ... profit .... £9.8m
14/15 .... Purchased £22.95m ... sold £29.2m ... profit .... £6.25m

Now take your accusations of being a WUM elsewhere.

£45m on a new luxury yacht for old Joe above other operating profit.

And I am the WUM? ... good luck to you all. Enjoy the show.

I never even factored in the booster for TV money that come in. That was pretty hefty. Wages didn't move in that time. All in Mr Joe's back pocket.

 

[Arthur Hucksake]

I'm not winding anyone up, I genuinely think we are being mugged off.

Don't forget the club was taken off the market, it's a private entity again now.

They do not give a damn about any stadium, let alone trying to build one. Why would they? They have it easy already with other entities they are piling Spurs profiteering into.

The club is being run like a Burger King franchise. You think i'm a WUM? Like I said, good luck to you all.

 

[dontcallme]

People really don't forget that.

But 1 window which happened around 7 years ago hardly counts as "every window" does it?

Have you forgotten that, over that period, we've built a £45m training centre and spent £100m+ on developing the stadium project thus far?

Again you're confusing not strenghtening with weakening.

Can you quote a post by the OP where he has substantiated his viewpoint?

 

[Arthur Hucksake]

The money from the training centre was funded by private enterprise in a sponsorship deal. Who knows where that goes. Maybe the money we earned from spraying our faces around times square with Derpsey on centre stage.

And £100m on a stadium so far? Do you really believe that? Has the tarmac been lifted yet?

Look at other projects. How much was the Madejski Stadium built for? How about The Stadium Of Light?

Was £100m spent before the work actually was a realistic proposition.

 

[Arthur Hucksake]

People ignore the numbers, that is up to you. All I see, it would be a miracle to finish 6th after an extremely strong position to strengthen. Levy realised that mediocre brings home the bacon more than pushing out to solidify. It is why we need new owners. Bacon being his own back pocket and the owners. Remember, no shareholders here to discuss now.

Levy not selling dear Ade to wham is also weakening us.

His whole transfer policy weakens us.

Ade won't go anywhere because he doesn't need to play football anymore. Just sit on the money.

What private enterprise and what sponsorship deal? I'm fully prepared to have a sensible discussion about the points you make but if you're just going to pluck shit from your arse by way of justification, there doesn't seem to be much point continuing.

As to the stadium, you appear to have missed the fact that the club had to buy a huge number of properties in order to free up the site for stadium development. You also appear to have missed the fact that site preparation is well under way as part of a £50m contract that the club has already entered into with constructors. In addition, engaging architects and proceeding through the planning process don't come for free. So, yes.........£100m is the low end estimate.

Interesting.

Let's see your evidence.

How do you explain the £40m ENIC put into the club a little under a year ago?
