just dont mention signings like bently etc

we havnt spent much lately but we used to spend alot every season.

He is truly top notch and we are in great hands with him at the helm

Levy is currently probably the best chairman in the land.

To keep us where we are and have been for 5 or 6 seasons, with one blip, is incredible on the wage budget we have compared to sides around us.

I trust him fully with all our transfer dealings, with the new manager if necessary, and with our transition to the new stadium.

I am happy to pay the high prices at Spurs because I have faith that Levy is using the money wisely.

Tell me mate, do you think that Levy doing the transfer dealings and having such a tight reign would put off a potential new manager should Harry leave?

Its just something that crossed my mind when people mentioned Mourinho.

I think in europe all player dealings are dealt with by the president/chairman/director of football so I cant see that being a problem.

Are they Dec yeah? Ah cool then if thats the case mate.

Don't Spurs have the same net spend as Man United who have won 12 league titles, 2 Champions League and many other cups in the same time Spurs have won 2 league cups or something like that?!

no. i think Levy knew Harry would be off for some time, and we have a small war chest available for the next manager. assuming we get CL football this season of course.

We tried that model with the likrs of Arnessen and Camolli on the advice of Erikson supossedly, we than scrapped it because Harry wouldnt want another footballing man buying players for, which is why Levy now does it.

Levy may handle the negotiations but the manager targets who he wants and who he does not want.

Spurs certainly do not have nearly the same net spend as Man United. Man United have broken the British transfer record about half a dozen times, so don`t come on here with all that nonsense, they spent close to £50 million close season.

Whatever way you look at it Spurs have spent a substantial amount over the last eight years, the fourth biggest spenders since 2004.
Manchester United are not in the top 5.

Since the PL has begun, Man United have a net transfer spend of £177M whereas Spurs have £175M

I am not surprised by that to be honest and I have said a 100 times that until recently our transfer dealings have been a total joke.

Levy as a chairman supported every manager with cash and god we wasted god knows how much.

Bentley
Bent
Hutton

Those are 3 glaring examples and to a certain extent you can include Palacios in that altho to be fair he did help get us out of trouble when he first signed so he was not a complete waste of money.

To most modern day fans (and the media) their only solution to every situation is "we need to buy".

The current starting X1 prove that you dont need to waste money to be a good side but when you see fans during the summer telling everybody that we dont need the likes of Parker (cost 5 mill) and that he was championship quality at best

Every transfer window is the same there is always somebody suggesting we buy whoever for 30 mill and nobody at THFC will mind that he earns twice as much as anybody else

It appears that Daniel Levy has learned his lesson when it comes to wasting money on over hyped, over rated and over priced prima donnas and we actually look a hell of a lot better side because of it

Why is nobody talking about the wages bill ????

We may spend a few quid on the fees for players but aren't we entitled to when the wage bill is 50m or MORE a year less than the other title contenders

Squid how are you doing mate

Yes our wage bill is definitely lower than most but it would be even lower if we had not have signed dross as in the likes of Bentley

All the top clubs have the same formula

spend, spend, spend

and eventually you end up with a very good team in the top4 as long as you don't bankrupt yourselves or develop serious off the pitch problems.

As long as you can keep pumping in the cash on wages and/or fees, you're good over time.

Hello mate hope you're well .....Got the motor sorted yet ????

Some you win some you lose , Bentley and a few others have been a waste of time but other guys like Modric , Bale and even Berba have more than made up for it

I'd love to see a manager that's never signed a dud , even Fergie has had his fair share of those

When you look atthe likes of bentley it appears a good deal....Young, talented, reasle value. Few would have known his career would have dived so badly, perhaps he came at the wrong time when things were going badly for us and his flicks and tricks and shooting from everywhere did not help.

Bent was a poor buy, not because his is a poor player but at the time we did not need him and he did not fit our style. It was not the amount of money that was spent (£16m), he has since been sold from SUFC to Villa for £24m, it was just a poor choice for us that an expert DoF should have foreseen.

The Hutton purchase, I cannot defend (neither can he )

That is probably true that Spurs don't pay the biggest wages out of the top six teams. I think in order for them to continue to progress that they will sooner than later have to pay their best players more in line with other clubs around them. That's the way it's always been to be honest, a club can only get away paying less wages and staying in contention for so long.

Redcon .....Yes and no

It depends on your earnings if you've earned it then fine otherwise you may well do a Leeds , I've a major problem with the oligarch supported clubs which distort and even threaten the security of properly run clubs

Komakino

I don't like it but you're right.......

We have some hard decisions to make

@comment by squid ..Glass half FULL

fair point but a different argument. you're bringing right and wrong into it where my point is a purely financial one. As long as the cash keeps flowing, then it's only a matter of time. There may be ups and downs and freak, one-off anomolies, but in the long run cash on players is the biggest factor.

spend, spend, spend

and eventually you end up with a very good team

............................

Normally you're spot on bit not always

I'm going to give my team a lot of praise in this regard ......Our entire 1st choice eleven cost 10/15m more than one of Cities strikers which proves it can be done
