Where the fuck as this ‘Tottenham way’ come from all of a sudden? It’s all I’ve heard in the last 24 hours. I assume it’s something to do with winning fuck all. I really do hate these conceited, arrogant wankers.

The 'Tottenham way' is to try really, really hard against City and to roll over for a tummy tickle against United.

Just compiling some financial figures for a KOTK article and while I'm not a great believer in net spend as a metric, over the longer term it does paint a picture.

Of the so-called 'Big 6' over the 6 seasons to 2019/20 (when the last sets of accounts are available) our net spend has been £750m, United's around £650m, Arsenal (surprisingly) £450m with Chelsea & Liverpool around £350m.

Over the same 6-year period, Spurs' net spend has been just £2m. That's not a mistake; it's two million.

Levy shouldn't be able to show his face at WHL without a phalanx of security guarding him from furious fans. He's cheated them.

What do you expect when their income is markedly lower?

For a number of years, the plastic cockneys from Essex and Hertfordshire have used similar figures to 'prove' Levy is some god-like club chairman ("Yay, we have the most parsimonious chairman in the league. We are so lucky"). Odd fanbase.

The "Tottenham way" is one of thoughtful financial prudence by which the "net spend trophy" resides permanently at the club's ground as a result of a net spend of only £2 million over many many years. This prudence is allied to a shrewd transfer strategy known to other, jealous, clubs as the "Levy trolley dash" which often takes place in the late evening of the day the transfer window closes. This enables Spurs to field what appears to be a team of misfits but is in fact a team working towards the kind of consistency that the club's spending really deserves. I'm surprised you didn't know that.
