I kinda made a statement similar to this when spurs signed no one, and got blocked by Sandy because of it :D
I dont get why a club cannot spend the money it generates from us, the fans. The people that watch the games on cable/sky and buy the shirts and are the reason people advertise on and off the pitch.
Spend what you earn. reinvest it and strive to improve your weaknesses. Especially if your rivals do.
Pool had Coutinho money, and CL money, and invested the £ back onto the pitch.
Some call it ambition. I call it common sense.
Its football first, then a business, not a business first that centres around football.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Did you not spend that on the stadium? Or did you get a loan for that?
Arsenal take the lead in their game. I haven't looked at the table yet but I imagine they're on our arses.

Thank fack we don't have your standards
Plus haven't Spurs fans been telling fans of other clubs that they've been wrong when saying that this period won't last forever?
This was always going to be MP's last season.

So I'm right... You want instant success and you want it now?
Like I say, poor that really and not very realistic of how it works. You came up against a comfortably better side today, you just have to accept that you won't be able to compete with the likes of Liverpool anymore.
Errrr I got the patience of a f*** saint being a Spurs fan ( no pun intended ) , we haven't won anything for donkeys years and didn't improve all summer.

Why do we have to accept it ? We were smashing Liverpool 4-1 last season. I'm not accepting such a drop in performance no chance and neither should any spurs fan. We should be competing with Liverpool comfortably. We're not like your relegation battling club Southampton.

Agreed so you can't expect to compete with Liverpool then.
You're not really a top 4 club are you and a few years doesn't change that... you'll probably go back to being a top 6 club with the occasional decent season.
Nothing wrong with that and is probably a realistic level for you.
Stadium will be class when ready though, hoping to get up there if it's ready.

Why 'should' you?
Do you have a divine right?
What gives you this divine right?
Have you been a succesful club in the modern era?
Silly post that, they improved massively over the last 18 months or so while you lot. Well...
No we're a top 4 club, we just don't win any trophies.

You don't have a divine right to be though, and likely won't be this season.
Arsenal were a top 4 club for years as you know, doesn't mean you're entitled to stay that way
Like I say, in the modern era you're punching above your weight hugely so it's a bit wrong to lose the plot so much when you lose to a team considerably better than you and you got Levy'd in the Summer.
You've had a good run which you should be proud of and I'm sure you'll look back with fond memories but that doesn't mean you'll never drop out again.
We finished in the top 8 4 years in a row recently doesn't make us a top 8 club.
Why is it likely we won't be this season ? We're still a better side than Arsenal and United. I just don't accept that we could do so little in the summer and not improve an already excellent team. We are a CL team whether you like it or not mate, so we need to act like one.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't agree that you're better than United personally, and I don't think you'll get away with not strengthening. The rumours will start in Feb/March time too which could unsettle Poch etc.
What I'm saying is after the Summer you've had, you can't compete with teams such as Liverpool.
They're miles ahead of you now they have a defence.
We are a top 4 side looking at the last 3 seasons. Until anything changes I think we have every right to say we are. Things might change but at the moment we are.
I totally agree Bake em. We have every right to expect to do well considering where we are at as a club and we should be winning trophies. At this moment in time, we are a top 4 CL side, but don't act like one at times especially Levy.
I am more concerned about the defence than any other part of the team. Toby and Verts look very far from invincible, and the two full backs, Trippier especially are just not up to it. Get Sanchez, Aurer, Davies back in the team, and Lloris back in goal, and it will improve 100 per cent.
Sandy I agree. We hardly ever keep a clean sheet and when we are being dominated we should be able to defend with our backs to the wall better. Our defence is not good enough but I put alot of that down to the protection they get from midfield. Plus our fullbacks just aren't good enough.
Don, Levy's rubbish do nuthin stance came home to roost today.
Saw him in the stands looking like thunder. He knows its all his fault that he now has not got a team worth putting in his shiny new stadium.
I agree, this looks like a no silverware season and the team will start to fall apart.
Tottenham all over again!
As for Sandy's Dumb Ass predictions that "we were going to win everything this season, the Premiership, FA tin pot, the European Championship" .........
well we saw the truth at Wembley today.
"our defence ain't good enough"??
Neither is our attack good enough!.
I'm not sure Poch's ready for the big boys but it's early days yet in this season, we'll come good.
I wanted a big name coach at Spurs to take us up that level, I mentioned Klopp and Ancelotti. I was mocked, well, look what Klopp's doing at Liverpool now. I've expressed reservations about Poch and again I was mocked so I will repeat, he is NOT the man to take us to the top. Now you're saying it.

Leave it out! How much has Klopp been able to spend at Liverpool in the past year? You think he'd be afforded that luxury at Spurs under Levy? No manager would.
Plus he hasn't even won anything at Liverpool yet.
