for all those responding to RichieTHFC kind words about the club and the owner you may as well wait awhile as he has taken a month's leave

Re: The Tottenham Thread (Merged)
Dude, how selfish are you? I'm not supporting them because they are getting bought out by someone, who has way more money than me, who will likely( if they follow our owners strategy), set the club up for life, build a superb stadium, enhance the youth system and keep season tickets (in relation to say domestic fuel bills!), cheap and with few increases for years to come. Its not about you and its not about me. People like Colin Schindler are all about them and the sympathetic ear he always got because he supported City, plus he is a self serving opportunist, making money out of the misplaced belief of people that they some how had a say in the running of a successful football club, or that their ticket money was the true driving force behind big signings. As has been show by many other posters, all the successful teams who won league's, had benefactors who pumped money in. Why wouldn't you want a responsible and benevolent owner for you club?

I've had a quick look and it's already started, apparently it's ok for them to spend money because we did it first. What about it not being fair on all the other Prem clubs ? They don't seem arsed about that now. Bunch of fucking hypocrites.
You're wrong. Theres a thread on Glory-Glory where a large portion of us hope it is avoided.
Personally if Spurs became a club like City, I'd cease to follow football with the kind of dedication I do now. I'd keep an eye out for the scores and watch Match of the Day, but that'd be about it for me.
I'm fairly disillusioned with football now anyway because of the inability to compete on a financial level and my interest is trending towards other sports, a buy out of Spurs would be the final nail in the coffin.

Re: The Tottenham Thread (Merged)
actually, we're fifth. Behind you, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Sunderland. So yeah, Sunderland not a great example.danburge82 said:Is that the same Spurs who over the last five years had only been outspent by Liverpool and City? Why haven't you already stopped supporting them? You've bought all but King in your strongest XI, and most of your bench are bought as well. Pull the other one, mate. You look at City's spending and say its a disgrace, yet do you hear fans of about 80 other English clubs banging in about how Spurs' spending is a disgrace? Because you've been "blowing teams out of the water" (remember that peach of a line?) for a number of years. Your football club is no different to City's, it's just not quite got the same ambitions or spending power, but the same principles all the same: spend big, aim high, challenge on a level other clubs can only dream of. Do you get many Sunderland fans harping on about having won more league titles than you and how they wouldn't follow their club if they spent money like Spurs did? Because I'm sick of fans of clubs like yours coming on here year after year lettin us know how many cups your won and how our spending is a disgrace!RichieTHFC said:stony said:I'll look forward to reading all the backtracking from spurs fans if they get a huge investment.

Re: The Tottenham Thread (Merged)
Opposition football fans that have been guilty of vitriolic abuse of our owner and the way our club is run don't half make a rod for their own backs with their laughable "If a cash-rich Arab took over our club, I'd renounce my support for the club" comments.
Forest are a classic case in point. A large number of their 6,000+ following delighted in singing, en masse, such wonderful ditties as "You have no history" and "Owned by a terrorist" when they played us in the FA Cup at our place in January 2009. Fast forward to this week's Kuwaiti takeover of their club and their forums are full of overwhelming support for their new owner and any dissenting voices are very difficult to find.

It's not taken long for the new spurs thread to get shrouded in a cloud of takeover arguments, who'd have guessed?
Back on topic (ish), has anyone seen Adrian Lopez play? Seem to be heavily linked and I watched a bit of the U21 champs last year in which he was good, but what about in the domestic league?
Seems like a good option, versatile and young, and not on too high wages at the moment either.

Havent seen him play to be honest, but his goals to game ratio doesn't fill me with optimism.

From what I've seen he appears a bit lightweight and flatters to deceive. Decent but not top 6 in England material
Re: The Tottenham Thread (Merged)
to me it sounds like spurs are trying to fuck us over and if duncan castles reports us subsidizing adebayor wage is right they are doing a good job of it. I suspect spurs will low ball us with this 5 mil offer for somebody who scored over 15 goals for them last year then after getting that done get big money in for modric so we are to late to ask for a decent fee for adebayor

Fucking hell, get over yourself. You just aren't that important, and no one, absolutely no one will give a shite if you start following rugby union, cricket or some other non-sport. Football has been about money since Sky came in. Christ, get off your high horse.RichieTHFC said:stony said:I'll look forward to reading all the backtracking from spurs fans if they get a huge investment.

An oil barons plaything. Living well outside of their means. It's bad for football and I'd hate to see it happen to a club I love. My interest would diminish considerably to the point where football will become something I used to enjoy.
