    Those clubs found the secret to success and had owners that created a winning culture that over comes financial disparity - there's no way they just dropped off without a trace

    If those clubs are the marker than we have done it also? I'm talking more than a one off trophy or two.

    If it was just good decision making then why has no one else done it? There must be a real lack of good decision makers out there in your world if that's all it takes.

    I'm saying money wins out in the end and there's no evidence that without more of it we would have fared any better. .

    ***OMT*** Tottenham Hotspur v LiVARpool - Sunday April 27th 4.30pm

    What's humiliating about tomorrow? i don't get that narrative. We aren't competing for the title so liverpool securing it v us is neither here nor there

    Money creates a situation whereby the odds have been significantly stacked against anyone but the aforementioned clubs, demonstratably more so than at any other point in history. In order to circumvent that disadvantage you need a run of extreme good fortune and/or years of good work with no...

    Sky & PL money wiped out the value of the traditional big 5 mate, that's the point the game changed from that point onward - that's why Chelsea and City leap frogged us. Sky + PL & CL created the top 4 - we missed out on that due to (as @Raziel's post explains) mismanagement in the 80s/90s then...

    Like I have said previously the data/results from the last 20 odd years show that unless you are spending in line with City through to the Arsenal/Chelsea then you are not going to be picking up trophies. So different owners would highly likely have made no difference to our return over the same...

    I've explained why - prior to 2020 ish our revenue was much lower than the rest of those clubs (or tied up in to the stadium build) in fact the top 6 is really a misnomer as it was really a top 5 that we managed to break in to through consistent league performance, up until recently we were much...

    We've won a trophy, same as each of those clubs - the discussion is not what seperates us from those clubs it's what seperates us from those that win consistently/semi-consistently. You can't ignore that since Sky & CL money came in to the game trophies are being won by fewer and fewer clubs -...

    It's not an excuse It's looking at things over a long period of time and spotting trends and i think that there is a clear and obvious trend regarding trophies being hoovered up in the manner described. Those smaller clubs winning a handful between them doesn't disprove the trend, it is part of...

    This is what i was getting at in my post - in 15 seasons, 30 of the available 45 domestic trophies were 'won' by 2 state/oligarch backed clubs. That leaves 15 trophies on the table over 15 years - with a fair portion of that time being pre stadium revenue era, about 10 years? So that's 10 years...

    The inference from the post you quoted is that our declining number of trophies is down to the owners - the counter argument is that the football landscape has changed from the decades we were successful and that trophies are generally won by a small number of rich clubs - eg those who were...

    But we got close in the first place - there's a multitude of comparable clubs outside of the richest that didn't even manage that. If it were simple then trophies wouldn't be hoarded by a select few.

    Contingency planning : When Ange is sacked, who should replace him?

    The 10/11 first XI team was really strong on paper, one of the best in the league and depth wise it was pretty good too given what subsequent managers had to make do with and Harry's penchant for stockpiling seasoned pros.

    Unless we were bought by an oligarch instead of ENIC the chances of us doing any better over the same period on the trophy front are quite low as it's generally the richest clubs that hoover up all the trophies.
