I don't think that reads particularly well. That for me says "I've spent a shedload of cash in two years so don't expect any now Covid has decimated us".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A quick look on transfermark it’s around £165m net since CL window on players fees only
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll be surprised if it's that much. I wonder whether that includes prospective loan buys ahead of time. We would have to pay £40m for Vinicius which we absolutely won't do but that could be included in the figures to inflate them. The net spend of £165 probably comes down to the CL run. I think we got £80m for that alone.

Regarding the ITK stuff, I find it staggering how people just how many people take it as the gospel. Trix and JJ do tend to know their stuff and don't tend to pipe up unless they have info but that Hercules bloke is a joke. To my mind he's never got one thing right in around five years of being aware of him. When his inside knowledge fails to come to fruition he tends to talk about "last minute changes" or "goalposts moving" but that's easy to say in hindsight. How about get something on the money before it hits?! His new one about the fact "we'll all be happy with the new manager appointment" is just a nonsense. We could appoint Roberto Martinez, who none of us want, and he could justify why it was an "an appointment we should be happy with". Utter, utter moron.
I swear half of that stuff is just some sort of betting scam to push people into whacking big bucks down.

The really bizarre thing is how many people there are on Spurs Community who blindly believe everything he says.
It makes me laugh how Levy emphasis the need to play entertaining, free-flowing football. We know full well he's just trying to get back in the fans' good books after the failure of Jose. He wouldn't care a jot about the style if Jose had us in the top 4.

I think alot of people have cottoned on to Herc and because the rules are strict about no ITK bashing(which is very fair) no one says anything. I think you underestimate their intelligence. Most people say thank you for passing on the info and leave it as that or they speculate on whatever cryptic message he is trying to give like the good news he is says is coming.
It's funny when people on here are snobbish towards SC. This place is full of pond life and after using both Ja606 and SC for some years, it is not even a contest as to which site has the better posters.

And who do you want to replace him?
I mean we have been down this road before with Jose and look at the state of us.
Please give me a name? (for a laugh at least)
I am sure you can trawl through Don's history and find him moaning about ticket prices, about not putting any more money in to the club....and now he's promoting £250m spend after the club have sustained £150m losses from the pandemic.
Its all about spending money but where this money comes from in Don's mind can only be the owners pockets......why in 20 years of ENIC has itnot sunk in that they are an investment company and that really there are only a tiny handful of clubs whose billionaire owners stump up anything of their own money. The Mansors and the Abramovich's of this world are the exception.
Spurs like the 95% of the rest of clubs out there and are run as a business.
Since the stadium build we have spent. The disruption through that process obviously hit hard and at a bad time considering we were on the up.
And actually when you look at it, 4th place, UCL final and then a summer and January window where we spent £160m, one would expect us to be much better placed than where we are. Many were excited by our signings and even last summer we seemed to address many of the deficiencies.
It is not the total shiiit show that some are painting it but the situation does highlight that some areas of our club need looking at, in terms of player identification, recruitment, squad management. Levy probably does have too much sway in these areas which are not his forte. I think we need to return to a proper DoF because it has been clear for a long time that the signings are not always (sometimes not at all) the managers decision, so the decision maker needs to be highly knowledgeable.
But enough with the net spend BS. Surely we've move on from that and have outspent most clubs in the last 2 years.
To me it seems like some have completely lost the ability to enjoy some of the simple pleasures of watching football. Spurs have been underachieving for decades. This is not a new phenomenon. We have virtually no right to demand success, but now the demand for success, to spend £250m to compete is just the vulgar whinging of modern day fans. Go watch your local team if you cannot grasp the realities of premier league football. Get in touch with why you love football, why you'd play for free for Spurs, why if you walked through the park and someones playing footy it always grabs your attention, if the ball rolled your way, how you'd ping it back to them thinking you're Hoddle. Just fecking enjoy something instead of moaning about every aspect of the clubs and their ownership.....an ownership that had delivered much more consistent progress and achievement than any other comparable club over ENICs tenure
Hercules is a complete buffoon. Rides on others info, then starts claiming he knew that. A complete joke of a poster, yet his posts are given the light of day on Spurs community a desperate site that rely on posters to flock and donate for bulls** info. The only person that slightly resembles anything ITK is JJ etset and he’s not even on Spurs community. He’s on Twitter and they rob his info on that. Awful site Spurs community. The Fighting c**ck so much better.

And what have we achieved under this lot ? You seem to spend your whole existence on here trying to defend Levy and the board, yet you never come up with anything remotely convincing apart “well they done great to get us a stadium “ etc. Look at Leicester’s owners who have managed to spearhead a club to rise from literally nothing to winning trophies. Our sorry lot have 1 league dip in over 20 years And you got the cheek to question my support ? Bore off mate. I’m certainly not in the minority here. You might enjoy losing every cup semi final and final we participate in, but I don’t. It’s incredibly frustrating supporting Spurs when you have owners that make out were some sort of elite super power, yet fail to provide the appropriate funds to challenge the others.

Not really mate because you have already said so yourself that Hercules gets a lot wrong. No way in a million years would you be saying this on Spurs community because the admin will ban you. That my friend is a dictatorship. They dictate what content goes on the site and ban anyone with an opinion. You can literally give Hercules a disagree rating and the admin are complaining. It’s pathetic mate it really is. A bunch of lemmings kissing the a** of Hercules who’s probably in his mums bedroom w. Banking into a sock
I started following that spurs community site a year or two ago. It's a very odd site. The majority of them rated Mourinho and still wanted him to stay in Jan/Feb time
The ITK's either know very little or their information is of no relevance. I remember one called the Goat called Doherty signing before anyone in the press did, so I will give him credit on that. Don't think I've seen a single bit of correct/useful ITK other than that.
JA's ITKs are far superiour to SC's by the sounds of it.

Sorry but that is total nonsense. I used to be on there years ago and got banned just for contradicting ITK info. I think I just said something like "that just doesn't sound plausible to me" or something tame like that. It's not just ITKs. They have sooooo many different threads there - ITK thread, Transfer thread, players threads and if you so much as post in the wrong thread or accidentally take a thread off topic, you're banned. Total morons, the lot of them. It is a dictatorship, run by the very worst of them all, some fella called Archibald&Crooks who seems to enjoy the small amount of power he yields. It's a pathetic place. At least here we can discuss and have different opinions without fear of being thrown out. It might look more fancy but this site is light years ahead. No question.

I think alot of people have cottoned on to Herc and because the rules are strict about no ITK bashing(which is very fair) no one says anything. I think you underestimate their intelligence. Most people say thank you for passing on the info and leave it as that or they speculate on whatever cryptic message he is trying to give like the good news he is says is coming.
It's funny when people on here are snobbish towards SC. This place is full of pond life and after using both Ja606 and SC for some years, it is not even a contest as to which site has the better posters.

It makes me laugh how Levy emphasis the need to play entertaining, free-flowing football. We know full well he's just trying to get back in the fans' good books after the failure of Jose. He wouldn't care a jot about the style if Jose had us in the top 4.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
At least he acknowledges what the fans want and the constant feedback on here during the season was our football was dreadful and we should have a go at teams. He cannot win can he? Lol
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If he knows what the fans want then I trust he'll be walking away from the football side of the club?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And who do you want to replace him?
I mean we have been down this road before with Jose and look at the state of us.
Please give me a name? (for a laugh at least)

I am sure you can trawl through Don's history and find him moaning about ticket prices, about not putting any more money in to the club....and now he's promoting £250m spend after the club have sustained £150m losses from the pandemic.
Its all about spending money but where this money comes from in Don's mind can only be the owners pockets......why in 20 years of ENIC has itnot sunk in that they are an investment company and that really there are only a tiny handful of clubs whose billionaire owners stump up anything of their own money. The Mansors and the Abramovich's of this world are the exception.
Spurs like the 95% of the rest of clubs out there and are run as a business.
Since the stadium build we have spent. The disruption through that process obviously hit hard and at a bad time considering we were on the up.
And actually when you look at it, 4th place, UCL final and then a summer and January window where we spent £160m, one would expect us to be much better placed than where we are. Many were excited by our signings and even last summer we seemed to address many of the deficiencies.
It is not the total shiiit show that some are painting it but the situation does highlight that some areas of our club need looking at, in terms of player identification, recruitment, squad management. Levy probably does have too much sway in these areas which are not his forte. I think we need to return to a proper DoF because it has been clear for a long time that the signings are not always (sometimes not at all) the managers decision, so the decision maker needs to be highly knowledgeable.
But enough with the net spend BS. Surely we've move on from that and have outspent most clubs in the last 2 years.
To me it seems like some have completely lost the ability to enjoy some of the simple pleasures of watching football. Spurs have been underachieving for decades. This is not a new phenomenon. We have virtually no right to demand success, but now the demand for success, to spend £250m to compete is just the vulgar whinging of modern day fans. Go watch your local team if you cannot grasp the realities of premier league football. Get in touch with why you love football, why you'd play for free for Spurs, why if you walked through the park and someones playing footy it always grabs your attention, if the ball rolled your way, how you'd ping it back to them thinking you're Hoddle. Just fecking enjoy something instead of moaning about every aspect of the clubs and their ownership.....an ownership that had delivered much more consistent progress and achievement than any other comparable club over ENICs tenure

Hercules is a complete buffoon. Rides on others info, then starts claiming he knew that. A complete joke of a poster, yet his posts are given the light of day on Spurs community a desperate site that rely on posters to flock and donate for bulls** info. The only person that slightly resembles anything ITK is JJ etset and he’s not even on Spurs community. He’s on Twitter and they rob his info on that. Awful site Spurs community. The Fighting c**ck so much better.

And what have we achieved under this lot ? You seem to spend your whole existence on here trying to defend Levy and the board, yet you never come up with anything remotely convincing apart “well they done great to get us a stadium “ etc. Look at Leicester’s owners who have managed to spearhead a club to rise from literally nothing to winning trophies. Our sorry lot have 1 league dip in over 20 years And you got the cheek to question my support ? Bore off mate. I’m certainly not in the minority here. You might enjoy losing every cup semi final and final we participate in, but I don’t. It’s incredibly frustrating supporting Spurs when you have owners that make out were some sort of elite super power, yet fail to provide the appropriate funds to challenge the others.

You sound like an SC admin if I’m going to be honest Luka. Spurs community is full of kiss asses that have to bow down and give positive ratings to the ITK’s in fear of being banned. It’s pathetic mate, like a dictatorship

It really is not. You can speak freely on there. Accept ITK with a pinch of salt and don't bash people for passing info on in good faith. It's not rocket science. Guess you have been banned then Don? You schmuccck!!
Pretty sure MK got banned as well LOL

Not really mate because you have already said so yourself that Hercules gets a lot wrong. No way in a million years would you be saying this on Spurs community because the admin will ban you. That my friend is a dictatorship. They dictate what content goes on the site and ban anyone with an opinion. You can literally give Hercules a disagree rating and the admin are complaining. It’s pathetic mate it really is. A bunch of lemmings kissing the a** of Hercules who’s probably in his mums bedroom w. Banking into a sock

I started following that spurs community site a year or two ago. It's a very odd site. The majority of them rated Mourinho and still wanted him to stay in Jan/Feb time
The ITK's either know very little or their information is of no relevance. I remember one called the Goat called Doherty signing before anyone in the press did, so I will give him credit on that. Don't think I've seen a single bit of correct/useful ITK other than that.

JA's ITKs are far superiour to SC's by the sounds of it.
LLM and MoreSpurs > Hercules and JJ.

I don't mean he resign I mean he refrains from involving himself in the football decisions so much. That's what we all want isn't it?

Sorry but that is total nonsense. I used to be on there years ago and got banned just for contradicting ITK info. I think I just said something like "that just doesn't sound plausible to me" or something tame like that. It's not just ITKs. They have sooooo many different threads there - ITK thread, Transfer thread, players threads and if you so much as post in the wrong thread or accidentally take a thread off topic, you're banned. Total morons, the lot of them. It is a dictatorship, run by the very worst of them all, some fella called Archibald&Crooks who seems to enjoy the small amount of power he yields. It's a pathetic place. At least here we can discuss and have different opinions without fear of being thrown out. It might look more fancy but this site is light years ahead. No question.
