No but if I'm right it was deisgned for Newcastle Fans in the main. It's turned into Tottenham-online featuring Newcastle United.

Woohoo.

You want to do it together? I f***ing HATE SPURS AND ALL OF THEIR SUPPOSEDLY "ITK" FANS! c***s! I f***ing HATE SPURS AND ALL OF THEIR SUPPOSEDLY "ITK" FANS! c***s!

there was a thread where someone brought up spurs spending in recent seasons but i could never find it again, i was going to ask the spurs resident ITK's how the club can continue spending at such a sustained rate? they balance out to some degree i'm aware but very recently the balancing out part seems to have been forgotten? genuine question like, not a piss take The money's put together in an assortment of ways. Keeping a firm lid on the salary structure ensures not too much money is leaked that way. In past years, there's been no overdraft, there is now. Compared to most clubs it's still small but it's there now and I don't expect it to be cleared off soon. Ramos has convinced Levy that he'll have to pay for a challenge on the top 4 and Levy thinks the club is sound enough to go for it. Season tickets continues to go through the roof, another 10% increase this time around, and that is from a high starting level as well. Spurs also had rights issues on their shares, underwritten by Enic. The majority weren't taken up so Enic took them up at what is now a bargain price. Basically, a means enabling Joe Lewis/Daniel Levy to put more money in and getting the benefit of actually reducing their overall cost per share. There were major rows about it at board level and the Finance Director left over it. That enabled Enic to set up long term loans (which are only just being drawn upon) at pretty good rates for the new Academy and have money left over to put towards the new stadium. I'm not an Accountant and don't really understand how the benefits work, but I'm told they are significant. Finally, Levy always has loads of ifs and buts in transfer contracts, some of the transfer fees mentioned in the media never materialise simply because the trigger to spark another payment never happens. Also, in the past 4 years or so, almost every player bought was subsequently sold at a profit. Bent, Boateng and Kaboul may buck the trend when they go, but Jol wanted them and ultimately they were part of the reason why he went. I'll assume that the above is correct, but to keep spending the way Spurs have been over the past 2 years or so they will need CL football very soon to start covering costs I heard that it was sustainable without CL for 2 years, probably 3. By that time there should be a new stadium with more corporate boxes and jacked up ST prices to go with it. The probability is that we'll be under new ownership long before that in any case. Where will you build said stadium? The general consensus is adjacent to WHL on the site of the trading estate with a capacity of 50k with room to expand further. Official announcement expected around September time. Not much good for the general football fan, most of the extra seats will be corporate boxes by all accounts. But that's where the money is ................. Edit: That would mean staying at WHL while it was built. It'll still take longer then 2/3 years to get planning permission and build it.

Where will you build said stadium? The FA have already built them one at Wembley duh! Surely they can't move to a ground that Arsenal once called home in the CL albeit with a fancy facelift. Weren't West Ham going to move to the Olympics one aswell?

Jesus, he's quality. If only we had scouts in Italy instead of Ligue 1, which I doubt anyway Wise just has Virgin Media tv and gets it free on setanta from his plush London home.

I think KK will be reasonably happy provided they keep Owen. I think he'll offload Duff, Emre, Smith and possibly Viduka which would probably bring the wage bill into decent order considering Carr's gone and Babyaro left earlier in the season. Provided KK is allowed to bring in 3/4 experienced players and a similar amount of younsters with one or two pushing for a start I think we'll be in good shape. We will have a small improvement which will enable us to build on this over the next 3 years to be in a position to challenge the top 6 in the 2010-2011 season with hopefully the likes of Kadar, Krul, Forster, Tozer, Baheng and Zamblera pushing for starts. Next season we should be looking 7th-10th and pushing for the Intertoto or UEFA if the top 4 regain their dominance of the cups.

Looks like amdy faye. Course he does, they all look the same. Baldies? Aye he's a dead ringer for Sibierski. I think we all know what he mean't but at least it wasn't too blatant.

I can see him leavin us to join them like....... not He likes it here anyway, if he left he'd either go to Le Arse or France. Leaving them to join us? Knew someone would catch it before I changed it. It's early, I'm tired. Edit: this may confuse some people now.

What a dissapointing signing that would be. Agreed you should be signing Nesta with the size and success of your club.

Believe me, I'm as concerned as you about the transfers this summer. The squad needs a fair bit of investment, and I'm not sure that lots of young promising kids is the correct way to flesh out the squad - we need some proven quality and experience in there too. Promise, and/or credentials alone don't mean a player will be a success at St James Hugo had promise. Didn't do a huge amount over here for whatever reason. Cacapa had lots of the credentials in the french league. Didnt appear to be entirely suited to the premier league. Are we really paying three more people, or is it just three different people? I wonder who was making the most - Wise or Doug Shepherd. We've made a positive start by getting rid of some of the liabilities (I'm not sure Troisi's release was a good or bad thing), hopefully they can start to rebuild, buy some good players and play some good, winning football next season. As for SWP and Eagles? I doubt it very much. We're constantly linked to Wright-Phillips, and Eagles? Nah... Just a name off the top of my head - use Saha in my example if it makes you more happy. was trying to write in between work and got bogged down by semantics to summarise; some people are happy/content (call it what you will) that a team of specialists brought in to basically do one job have produced no tangible results in almost 6 months i'm not, that's all i'm saying if we start the season with a wonderful deep, packed vibrant young squad then there's a standing apology from me Not asking for too much are you? christ on a bike "if we start the season with one new player" - does that do you? Wouldn't surpirse me if we get to the start of the season and thats the case then they'll realise and go and buy some 33 year olds. I'm really concerned about this summer more so than ever before.

I never believe Spurs ITK's because they are all ITK's unless they are actually Commoli or Ramos.

Transfer policy mainly. We are pretty much all living in fear that Keegan doesn't have enough iinput into the transfers. From what I know Keegan gave a list to Wise and Wise isn't going for those players, he's scouting random young foreign players. Oh and we've now got a 21 year old scout and no chairman and there are rumours about that Keegan is going to be replaced by Marcelino although I don't believe that.

Normally, although you never know with us. The club still hasn't made an official announcement about Luque leaving iirc.

june 1st isn't it ? July 1st

He looks like a solid unit. You could do with someone like him in your first season.

He's not really been match fit for a couple of years. If he was match fit I reckon he'd score 10-15 over the course of a season.

Don't talk about our new chairman like that.

We need to get some rumours out to the press that we are after some crap players. Let spurs sign them and we'll get the decent ones. New Transfer List; Jon Stead Paul McShane Parkin from Stoke etc

Nah he'd probably like it. They have a wider selection of baseball caps there

I hope it is I'd love to see their fans reaction when referred to as a a less significant PL club.

Knowing our luck it will be Peter Ridsdale so he can Bankrupt another club.
