It

It’s my silly game to say that I think signing players who have already proven they can handle the pace and physicality of the PL is less of a gamble? I’m not sure what even makes that a game, let alone a silly one?

I thought the silly game was naming selective players to try to prove/disprove the above but I suppose the rules for this silly game are set by you

All hail our new CEO and owners.

lol…. You think that was on them?

Who says the wages are too high?

If we are competing on wages with the other big PL clubs then we are paying too much, as pretty much every other club pays too much to players.

 

[MartyFunkhouser]

We are still owned by Enic BTW

Are you happy that we played badly and lost because you think that is a point scored for Daniel Levy?

I think thats flannel, I think we all rub each other up to point scorer on here...........I do and you do for sure. I think we all need to take a breath

@Lemonade Money and @Baleforce are Levy fans first, Spurs fans second

Joe Lewis must be sitting in his living room, looking at where the Klimt and the Bacon used to be, and wondering whether his children are serious people.

Don't mate............take a step back

We have all rubbed each other up the wrong way on here at times and some will come on and gloat...........I like to think I am an honest bloke and I have done it on here massively.

But lets not reduce it down to this

What is the right level of wages in your view?

Those wages that produce players that work.............you should look to buy the players first, not look at the wages..........sounds abit moneyball but its right.

Two thirds of football are bankrupt for a reason

what @MartyFunkhouser said

I'm not saying you are saying this, but there has been an attitude of "we are finally doing things properly and matching the wages, everything is going to be fine" but just paying better wages doesn't necessarily get you better players

We can all talk unsubstantiated biased bollox.

Hmmm….I think I probably am saying that to be honest!

Like I get more goes into it. They have to be right for the system. They have to compliment each other. They have to have the right attitude. But fundementally I am way happier signing these players than I was before, and as long as we can sustainably afford the wages, I want to keep signing these sorts of players where we can and when we need.

Fair enough, I’d much rather we find the value in the market and exploit it.

Better than a Liverpool fan. Or a retard.

 

[DTA]

Sorry but I just don't think that adds up.

Levy had sole control of how Spurs spent their money. He had loaded the board with 'yes men' (and women) so that he could be sole decision maker. Joe Lewis was happy with this because, as I said before, his net worth was growing nicely (along with Levy's).

When ownership transferred to Joe Lewis' children the ambition changed. Having an ambition of winning as many trophies as possible probably doesn't tie in very well with an ambition of growing net worth as much as possible. Levy effectively had complete control over how the club spent it's money. Therefore the new owners brought in new people to dilute Levy's power and then ousted him. They now have a CEO who is aligned to their (new) objectives.

Is their objectives getting the club relegated because they almost done it last season.

 

[DTA]

I think being 17th and facing relegation heightened the emotions last season. They need time before they can really be judged.

But they were directly responsible for that.

 

[Jurgen the German]

But they were directly responsible for that.

What about the previous season when we finished 17th that Levy presided over?

We were nowhere near relegation that season. And you know it. We also won a cup.
