Right Jimbo, back home from work, logged on looking forward to reading your report.... and....... nothing..!!

you are obviously struggling for inspiration, tell you what, I'll help you and write it for you..!

London Businessman sees opportunity loophole in Government furlough scheme and lumps all his non playing staff on said scheme to the utter disgust of the Country..

Holds his nerve as the shameless, classless, greedy scousers have done exactly the same and thinks, the unrest will blow over..

Scousers back peddle quicker than the Dabber from the rags midfield and into the treatment room..!

The dippers come out of their shameless situation smelling of roses in the media, it's not their fault see, never is..!

Spuds now front and centre in the limelight and seen as taking monies away from the people who really need supporting and who do not have the backing of billionaire bosses.

Somewhat reluctantly, Spuds cave in and say, you know what, we can actually manage without taking money off the Government after all..!

Not our fault though, Boris shouldn't have offered it in the first place..!

Btw, do you know how much we've got outstanding to pay on our stadium ffs?

Status Quo is resumed, nothing to see here, move along now..!




Bet it's not a million miles away from what you are trying to tell us Jim..!!

You doing home deliveries now Kaz..?

Brighton to Manchester will play havoc with my frozen chips..! Ha!

Soz, not too bad really..

I finish work at 4pm each day now so called on the way home..

Mrs BTB works at a special needs school for children which has closed, my son is home as Uni is closed as is my daughter who attends college..

3 of them at home 24/7 means I'm struggling to keep the fridge and cupboards stocked tbh..

I feel like one of the birds in your garden constantly returning to the nest with a beak full of worms.. Ha!

Read a lot of your posts and it sounds like you've been through the wringer a bit..!

Good to hear you got out the other day and had a chat with 1 or 2 people..

I've a lot of admiration for people who live alone in the current climate, it can't be easy, that's for sure..!

Anyway, you've got you hands full controlling all the hoards on here which is definitely a full time job..!


Take care..!

Read both versions and I've got to say I prefer "Bill the Blue"'s version to be honest; not as long winded and it didn't have the stench of "pleading for sympathy" running throughout it. Just my opinion, so please don't get all depressed and think (realise) that you've just wasted god knows how many hours of your life writing it.

Finally been posted. It's a long read so I've provided a link rather than take up space on here.

I hope that it's okay for me to link to a Spurs website?

Did you write that Jim..?

No wonder you've been missing for 3 weeks..!

Aircraft oxygen masks, Bond villains and furloughing non playing staff to shame multi millionaire players into taking a pay cut..!

The game's been suspended for several weeks and Spuds, one of the richest clubs in World football are on their uppers?

Naw, I'm not having that mate..

An opportunity was seen, taken, backfired and left your club exposed as chancers..!

They've embarrassed themselves and their fans of which you are one and I understand you backing them as they are your team..!

Fair play to you Jim but come on..!

Sometimes you've just got to hold your hands up and see the situation for what it is..

The title says it all really.. Defending the Indefensible'... and that's what your doing here..!

Cheers for posting your reply but without blowing my own trumpet, I'd say my earlier analagy was nearer the mark..!
 
Worse still, given the new stadium’s technological wizardry and high level of finish, its maintenance will, by necessity, be considerably more onerous and expensive than the maintenance of the Premier League’s other, largely basic and functional stadiums

Poor spurs

That's OK, I've already worked out that there's absolutely no chance of prising either any form of chocolate or your newly acquired gin ice lollies off you no matter how hard I'd tried..!


Ha.!

This isn't about a week or three.

You, me, everyone.........we need to come to terms with the fact that this could be about a year or three. Seriously.

Sorry, it should read, the game's been suspended for several weeks to date.

I fully understand it could be some considerable time before we can look forward to some level of normality returning..

Who knows, if we are still in a similar situation 12 months down the line, furloughing non playing staff may become a necessity for Premier League clubs, if the scheme is still available then ..

The issue here though for me is the speed at which Spuds claimed monies from the Government to pay their staff, not illegal for sure but morally not the best decision, especially as the vast majority of PL, Championship and L1 & L2 clubs were managing their fanancies accordingly..


That's what has stuck in peoples craw..!

Bless you, mate, but please be assured that your opinion isn't of such great consequence to me!

Fair play to you, clearly a lot of time and effort has been put in to try make Daniel Levy look better.

You said yourself nobody knew where this was going or how long it would last but he still jumped in as soon as Ashley opened the door. This is the penny pinching that has him in a situation where he can't approach his players for a reduction because he made them fight like lions to get that in the first place.

My main take from it is the people he needs most won't help him when he needs them most. I don't doubt for a second if City, Utd or Liverpool and probably every other club in the league bar Newcastle needed their players to take a cut they would do it. Not spurs though, his players give him a fuck you.

Superb article that Jim. Well worth reading and I think the final point is right, social media is full of people who are "certain" about everything when "certainty", more often than not, is derived from the security of ignorance.

Levy certainly didn't play this one well.

But as I said in the article, the point wasn't to portray Levy as infallible. The point was to stand apart from the braying mob and to try to get them to see that there are far more serious and complex issues at play here than they have allowed for.
