Who knows where we will all be in five years?

The point is that Spurs do have the possibility of being a leading global brand. Particularly if they get the NFL franchise.

And perhaps the investment from a Facebook or similar

Of course we could also go back to being mid table entertainers that we were 5 years ago.

I see what you're saying, but is it going to work like that?
If 'you' get an NFL franchise is the money going to go to Spurs or your holding company or whatever? Will they say that money goes towards paying for the stadium?
As for big sponsors, they want to see success first, or the obvious potential for it. That means owners investing first to get you that far; I don't see that at Spurs (but maybe I'm not looking properly).
I've not analysed your owner so can't claim insight, but I don't get the impression he's looking to speculate to accumulate on a big scale. I get the impression he's like the American owners; willing to challenge for top 4 as this can be done from the clubs own revenues and still gives a nice profit.
Luckily for Spurs many other top clubs are having issues atm, but how long will that continue?
This summer might tell us much. Record profits and no excuse of possible stadium cost over-runs as an excuse not to spend.
 
Poch has brought shithousery to Spurs, no doubt. He understands that all the top teams do it. Need to do it. Barca, Real, Juve, Man Utd (especially when they were good), Arsenal (when they were good), Chelsea, Liverpool....

And yes.......City too. Guardiola is no different to Poch in that respect. And Fernandinho is the fucking master of shithousery. Gets away with it time after time. It's one of the things that makes him so good. Could have had 3 or 4 yellows on Tuesday night. And 1 red. So, agreed...Kane is a bit of a cvnt. As is Alli. And Rose. But let's not get on our moral high horses about it, eh?

No more than anyone else.

Wishing injury on players purely on the basis they don't play for City....poor form.

Nobody I’ve seen has posted any wishes of injury. Just that they have no sympathy for him as he tried to do Delph.

The worst one for me was the way he went down holding his face claiming Otamendi had elbowed him yet the contact was body to body a good foot and a half away from the face.

That was an absolute disgrace from the so called England captain.

He did Raheem with a fucking terrible tackle last season n’all. To be honest he seems like a right fucking dirty cheating **** from what I’ve seen of him. I really don’t like him at all.

A bit of roughing up like Fernandinho did to Kane is not going to hurt anyone.

Kane tried to injure Raheem last season and Delph the other night and tried to get Otemendi sent off.

I agree that Dinho will do whatever is necessary to stop a player,he's the best DM in the world because of that quality.However,there is a distinct difference with his play,in that he doesn't dive or go crying to the ref when anyone goes near him - as opposed to your fannies,he can dish it out and he can take it.

I disagree that Kane “tried to injure” anyone. City and Spurs are both physical teams. And both are adept at the dark arts. No harm in admitting it.

Kane takes an unbelievable amount of punishment from opposition players. Hardly ever complains. Always gets on with the game. Alli too.

You have the blinkers on pal.....you're making it sound like they are victims when 90% of the time they either insitigate or make the most of a situation.Kane is a dirty,crafty,fucker but Alli is a disgrace with his antics,a proper snidey prick.

If you say that's not a deliberate attempt to do someone you'll blinkers are that white your blind.

The Delph one you could possibliy give the benefit of the doubt and say he was very late if feeling generous.

I’ll tell you what was a deliberate attempt to “do someone”........Sergio Aguero’s premeditated, two footed, running jump / stamp onto a prone David Luiz.

Listen, I get it that you guys don’t like Harry Kane. I’ve admitted that he’s adept at shithousery. Like most top players. What I don’t get is why you fellas find it so hard to admit that your boys are equally skilled at the dark arts and equally physical. It’s one of the key ingredients for successful teams. You won’t find a top team in football history that didn’t have it in spades.

Absolutely. Alli is a cvnt. But, as they say, he’s our cvnt. You have yours too. Don’t be shy of the fact. That’s all I’m saying.

I have an open mind in regard our players and i'll call them out as readily as others,we are talking different level here though.

I think it's because ours aren't hailed as saints who can do no wrong and pick up gongs for virtually nothing.
Ours get crucified.

Aguero is universally lauded as far as I can tell. Fernandinho too. Most of them are, in fact, other than Sterling - who received disgustingly unfair treatment from the media. But, even he is now getting great press as a consequence of his own great efforts.

As talented footballers yes - but if they do digress and stamp, elbow, go in high etc the media can't launch a witch hunt fast enough - quite rightly - but the same doesn't necessaily happen to others - especially harry hotspur.

I’m not sure that’s the best example, Sergio has never done that before or since, something Luiz did that day set him off.
Alli seems to put his studs into another player every time I watch him, including for England. He’s just a nasty player, IMO.
What is particularly annoying though is that he goes down screaming like a girl if he gets touched.
One of your players has come out and said that they were sent out to kick City players the other night, doesn’t surprise me.

Again, I disagree. What witch hunt? A bit of publicity for a day or two, as is only natural. No more than would happen to any other player.

Maybe Kane is an exception. Because he is England’s top goal scorer and captain. Nevertheless, I read an article earlier (written by a journo who clearly doesn’t like or rate Kane) criticising him for “elbowing” Fernandinho after the latter had originally elbowed Kane on the back of the head and then deliberately leant on his head / neck as he got up. Barely the slightest criticism of Fernandinho.
