It will probably end as it is now as nothing has changed with our ownership, I don't think Masters can look at anything again unless something massive was to change.

Well done right back in mix, mad to think some sections of media genuinely were getting giddy about the Rags doing the treble not long ago

No coincidence docs are leaked to attack their owners after beating the rags and gubbing Wham...

no surprise that the owners are being attacked now Newcastle are threatening to break into CL places.
Hopefully it's also no surprise that very few people, if any associated with Newcastle give a shit about these attacks.

I do like the way your owners are a bit more 'fuck you' than ours with this sort of thing. You will find that once you are an established threat to the old sky four and (fucking) spurs the attacks will ramp up I think.

I took my girlfriends dog for a walk the other day, it had a crap but had a piece of poo dangling out of its arse, no idea why but it popped into my head that if the dog was the old ‘Sky Four’, then that dangling turd would be Spurs.
Funny how the mind works sometimes.
I actually enjoy the attacks because it shows we're getting to them and I love that. I just wish our owners would get together with your owners and maybe do some challenging in court regarding some of these rules that the league bring in to try and stifle competition to keep the so called big clubs in their lofty positions.
All this faux outrage is laughable. Many on here said, long before the takeover was approved, that the government would have a word.
Well done for smashing down the doors but now be prepared for the media to do a number on you. When you lift your first trophy (in this era) be ready for a shit storm.

Ah! You're making the same mistake the racists make, though not for the same reason I hasten to add.
Your owners are Saudis, ours are Emiratis, why would they have common purpose? Ah! Well they're both Arabs and Arabs are etc, etc....
Think on this, the Glazers are Jewish, so is Daniel Levy, they were both driving forces for the European Super League, but no one is suggesting their Jewishness has anything to do with that, or heaven forfend the fact that they both, in their different ways, gouge their respective clubs. Their Jewishness is immaterial and anyone suggesting otherwise would be heavily condemned.
But when it comes to Arab owners all sorts of commonalities are inferred, usually hidden behind the fig leaf of state owned, oil clubs etc, but it's all just a cover, they're talking about Arabs and we all know what Arabs are.
I'm not sure you're right.
All Mick is saying, (I think) is we both have owners that have broken through the cosy cartel. Both can see how devious the cartel are in the desperate attempts to remain where the money is and perhaps, by joining forces, we can take them on.
The media will never give us a fair hearing so maybe the courts are the only option. I do not necessarily agree as I'm sure our owners have already looked at that option but ......
The comments I made had nothing to do with both clubs being Arab owned. It was about both clubs being held back by other clubs who think they have the god given right to have everything their own way, so they try to stifle competition. All they’re interested in is maintaining the status quo for their own benefit.
Our club is owned by a consortium of three companies who have people at their head who are, Arab (Yasir Al-Rumayyan), Jewish (Jamie Rueben), Christian (Amanda Staveley) and Iranian (Mehrdad Ghodoussi) and that's irrelevant as far as I'm concerned.
I don’t look at people in any way other than the type of people they are, whether they are good or bad people or are good or bad at their jobs as in this case it effects the club. Anything else about them doesn't matter.
I'm ready for anything that's coming.

Both owners have not broken through the cosy cartel. We are presently under investigation by the Premier League, our reputation is trashed, trophies yes, respect and influence? No. The cosy cartel want us gone and while I don't think they'll succeed, they might yet.
Newcastle? They're in the top four and might well be in the Champions league next season, but FFP will slow their progress and sustained success is not easy, no matter how well run a club is, with many a pitfall on the way.
Besides, and this is something we rarely talk about, we see City breaking through the cosy cartel but that was never our intention.
We wanted to join the cosy cartel, we're not revolutionaries, we're arrivistes.
Our frustration is we've arrived but we're not welcome, but that's our problem and nothing to do with Newcastle, what Newcastle do is of no concern of ours.
The Geordies might piss on Tottenham's chips, maybe even Chelsea and Liverpool this season, but that's noises off for us, we'll worry about Newcastle when we need to worry about them.
Allies in the fight against the Yanks? I think not.
To paraphrase Pep and Lord Palmerston...There are no eternal allies, no perpetual friends, only perpetual interests.
At the minute you seem to be the lone voice having to take them on by yourselves. Quantity sometimes has a quality of its own as it's easier to have a go at individual clubs rather than a two.

Spurs are going to be very busy if they're attacking every team that could finish ahead of them over the next few seasons.

Well said. There is just a lot of ignorance out there. In the real world the Saudis are one of our biggest trading partners. They invest billiions in the UK creating thousands of jobs. They are one of our strongest allies in the Gulf region especially in sharing intelligence. It would be absurd to turn down external investment from any country (or individual) at this difficult time. We would have no trading partners left (including China and the USA) if we turned away investment because of human rights issues. You can debate the morals of this position but this is the reality for every country in the world.

That's how Daniel Levy spends a lot of his time. He is fixated on briefing the media about other clubs. That's why Pep gave him a name check. Don't forget Levy is the man who told the press he "wouldn't pick up the phone to Manchester City." More recently Spurs have been briefing that they wouldn't "do business with Manchester clubs again." Just pathetic deflection tactics but these days Spurs fans seem to have wised up about the sort of people who are running their club.
