You know I've met him and initially said what I thought (when a few stella's consumed) but he is actually not a bad bloke ! He seems a nice fellow, his teeth look scary on my TV when they're fecking huge like. he does a lot of charity work ..and when in his company my opinion did change somewhat Did you keep staring at his teeth, i would have and made him feel uncomfortable, as i do with ladies breasts. did buy a few bottles of cloudy bay...and in the end I felt embarrassed for my initial tirade of abuse to him LOL

42 Million !

his voice is still so so bad imo

doubt it it will trigger a lot of moves

me neither

i thought last night he was poor, like the above the game passes him by too quickly. He is clearly talented and did put in some good crosses and passes but non effective on the right last night !

i thought he had a good game, yes the first 20 minutes were difficult but he settled down..Looked good going forward and played with confidence after the nervy start...Bodes well for the future, not sure where he rates with Haidara and Santon mind

I know him quite well (am good friends with his son ) and he is nowhere near as bad as people on here make out...is he perfect no but compared to what we have he is miles better....

in the present climate he will be no where near the French squad !! It depends, he might not look like much in our set up, but in a passing side like Arsenal's he could look a different player. That's another problem with having a s**** manager, he is going to devalue the technical players by making them play a game they aren't suited to. he's not at Arsenal... he is still with us !!

in the present climate he will be no where near the French squad !!

a big profit no matter what he ends up going for and lets all be honest do we still want him now !

one word RUBBISH ... Pardew's antics over a never in a million years pen for Gouffran near the end summed it all up !

You're talking about 2 different periods of Spurs' history as if they were one. 91-01 they were majority owned and run by a top English businessman who made his fortune selling cheap tat to the mass market. He supposedly saved them from their financial troubles (I have no idea if this is actually true or a myth spread by himself) and ran them as a proper business. In Sugar's 10 year run they finished 15, 8, 15, 7, 8, 10, 14, 11, 10, 12 - the very definition of mediocrity (the 10 years prior to Sugar they finished 4, 4, 8, 3, 10, 3, 13, 6, 3, 11). If forums existed then they'd probably have had Sugar apologists telling everyone they should be grateful he saved them, they were doomed before he arrived, how he had sorted out the finances and was running the club on a sound financial footing, etc, but they were going absolutely nowhere on or off the pitch, and we easily out performed them financially. It's only since ENIC & Levy took over that the club actually started to be run with the ambition we once had, which sees them where they are now. Yes they have sold their best players on occasion when they have wanted out - NO club is immune to that - but when they do, they spend all the money they get and more on top to try and keep pushing forward. This obvious ambition is what brings in the supporters, the corporate money and the sponsorship, plus it tends to have a happy side-effect of better football, higher league finishes and the extra cash which that brings in. Now they are on the up and making money they are not looking to pay off the debt, instead they are looking to invest in the infrastructure of the club and build a new £250m stadium to bring in even more revenue. I'm convinced Sugar would never have spent £250m on a new stadium, just as Ashley would never have spent £42m to extend St James - in 6 years, a bore hole, underground heating for the training pitches, and lots and lots of advertising hoardings is the sum of Ashley's investment in the infrastructure of NUFC. Under Ashley we're absolutely nothing like the Levy-run Spurs and never will be until he's gone or has a genuine change of purpose towards the club (but that's just a fantasy IMO). Any short term success like the 5th place season will always be a blip and we will never look to build on it, rather it will be a reason to sit back and run with what we have for another year without having to spend money on improving the squad. Any windfall player sale will not be used to boost the season's transfer kitty, but will be used to fund it entirely for the next few years. The commercial and matchday income we had which set us apart from the second tier of well supported clubs (Everton, Villa, West Ham, Sunderland, etc) was down £23.5m per year from when he bought the club in the last set of accounts. The longer he's here, the closer we get financially to theses clubs, and any advantage we built up under the previous owners will soon disappear. Eventually if they're run half decently they too will start to pull away from us. A quarter of the club's yearly revenue gone and nearly double the debt despite a £35m windfall from a player he inherited, and people say the club is better off financially than when he bought it. Spurs have an English owner too !!!
