Stadt Posted 15 February 2023 Share Posted 15 February 2023 Spurs' bidder doesn't seem that wealthy. Their long term forecast isn't looking great imo, their 'success' has been predicated on two world class players in Kane and Son. Neither are particularly young.

I said this all along. Newcastle have lost once but drawn too many and that's starting to happen more recently. Not winning at Bournemouth was a terrible result for them. Hopefully Liverpool beat them at the weekend then I think they've got Man City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still very cautious regarding the players they can attract despite them having lots of money now. I still don't think they'll be able to sign world class quality players. We'll see though, I might be wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if KP are taking note of the market This is the same guy who had been discussing investment in Everton. According to the Financial Times, other members in his consortium will come from Abu Dhabi. So it's possible the money is there. They must want big city real estate as part of the deal. Interesting, as the toilet bowl strangled Spurs' spending until they refinanced the bonds to a life expectancy longer than Levy's. But it is a unique asset in the UK. Everton's stadium, OTOH, could be the concrete boots that hold them under if they go down. Without outside capital, Moshiri and the Ev could be in serious trouble. No pressure, Gravel Throat, it's only the future of the club in your hands ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally that's the point l say so long and thanks for the memories. It's close now for me because l dont watch football for the media hype or the halftime show - it's for the competitive and often unpredicable nature of true sport and following my home town club. We are seeing golf bought and destroyed as a true sport right now and football is likely next. For these cut throat businessmen and dictators (literally in the case of the middle eastern creatures) the sport is way down the list, it's money and/or sportwashing and in either case I have less interest than l do with F1- which is virtually zero. I have long said that spectators are an inconvenience to these people and if they can get more money/ good press by playing say Liverpool v Chelsea in Seattle or Riyadh they would not hesitate.

He's always completely blamed the Wolves player for his broken leg, but if you watch it, you can see it was caused by him going to ground on the Wolves player and then colliding with his planted right leg.

fox_up_north Posted 15 February 2023 Share Posted 15 February 2023 Actually probably a bullet dodged for Marsch. Yes, he wasn't great with Leeds but you'd be able to say he COULD have kept them up. He also followed Bielsa and was on a hiding to nothing. Doing Southampton wouldn't have been clever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
