An apology issued by The Porn Brother Gold

"Sorry for keeping you up late but at the last moment the main deal collapsed and the rest folded like a pack of cards," tweeted Gold.

He thanked co-owner David Sullivan and manager Sam Allardyce for their efforts, blaming the Premier League club's failure to land new players on "people out there that you just can't do business with". ;):LOL:

Levy really is worse than than the products the West Ham owners peddle.

I'd love to see an alternate universe where we could see where we would be without Levys pathetic meddling.

I think they're all happy to just work in environments they're used to and to just turn up every day to their lovely place of work which is the new Spurs training complex and pick up their money the easy way.

Which is presumably why Poch, and the majority of Spurs fan, want them out. We've had a lifetimes worth of freeloaders who don't give a fuck about the team. That kind of attitude is toxic and poisons everything else around it. I actually feel sorry for Poch, he's trying to build something here, he knows the players who don't care about the club and wants them out, yet Levy et al can't find a suitable buyer for them.

In all fairness Levy did find a buyer for Adebayor (QPR) - it's the player who refused to move.

Would Ade go to Al Qatar?

There window is still open for a few weeks.

Doubtful.....Ade is an ego guy...the Qatari league is a massive step down.

He probably wonders why Bayern weren't on the phone asking about him, i doubt he would even consider Al-Sadd if they came calling....

Why don't you just look at where we finished in the years before ENIC took over?

2000-2001: 12th place
1999-2000: 10th place
1998-1999: 11th place
1997-1998: 14th place
1996-1997: 10th place
1995-1996: 8th place
1994-1995: 7th place
1993-1994: 15th place
1992-1993: 8th place
1991-1992: 15th place
1990-1991: 10th place

Or in other words, without ENIC we would probably be:

Why not an alternative universe where we are owned by a Bill Gates and no FFP rules? That's the great thing about alternative universes: literally any scenario is possible.

He's also a grade A mercenary. I'm sure if they doubled his wages he'd be off like a shot

Is this the only criteria? I'm not doubting he has a high perception of his own value.

I wonder what would happen if they'd just offer to match his wages? You know, so that they'd pick up the tab, Spurs wouldn't have to subsidise and Ade not have to take a pay cut which would have probably had to happen at West Ham or QPR? Not saying, just asking that's all. (y)

if someone doubled my wages for a couple of years then I'd probably think seriously about it. But then again double' f*** all' really 'aint hard to think about :).

*Actually come to think of it, double nothing is till double nothing isn't it?

Was it not Gold or Sullivan who said a couple of years ago that they would never sell us a player or do any sort of business with us?!?

A lot of supposed spurs fans attack Levy but he has definitely bought us forward.

On a sidenote, I recently read an article saying Levy's best decision in his history was Poch. Early but I almost agree.

Where did you read that, can you link? Levy never really says anything other than the official site.

Just watched an exclusive interview with him on SSN. Unfortunately I have no idea what he said. Sorry.

We'd be lower in the league I suspect...where we were before he took over.

Exactly, we would still be in the mire, but we would have no expectations of grandure, no dreams of players like Modric, VDV or Bale or wants for Champions League never mind reaching the knock out stage. Fuck you Levy for giving me all that and fuck you again for making me want it on a regular basis :rolleyes:.
