FM manager doesn't have rules especially after winning every comp possible over a 5 season period
to many live in lala land, because Man C, Man U, Liverpool and Chelsea don't have problems, and we have been finishing above them all a couple of times minimum since Poch took over, and we now have a massive stadium with the highest ST prices ………… oh wait a minute we haven't moved in yet and have refunded more than half back, and have paid Wembley over 20+m since the start, not forgetting missing out on 12k supporters money each week, on top of increasing a lot of staff's wages since the summer.
there are plenty that are getting refunds, and buying cheaper seats at Wembley
have you any idea how much they are refunding the corporate members? if they don't want to go to Wembley it will be millions.
we have had 2 home games, 1 at a rented MK Dons 1 at Wembley, the rent at Wembley and MK Dons most probably meant the takings at the MK earnt us diddly squat
we signed no 1 in the summer because the targets Poch wanted didn't want to come or there clubs put stupid terms or fees, like Ajax with de Ligt.
when Zaha turned us down the season before, rumours were he wanted more than what we were paying Kane. imagine if we actually did go back for him last summer, do you reckon his agent will of wanted the same figure, knowing we was meant to be going into a 62k seater stadium, 1 that charges high prices, and most wanted guaranteed 1st team football like he has at Palace.
De Jong wants to go to Barca, now I love Spurs with all my heart, but come on it's not as if we are his boyhood club is it.
NDombele had 1 season playing in Lige1 (not sure if that's the right name), for Lyon. they had just purchased him for 8m euros why would anyone pay near on 50m, for a player that looks great in a league that makes Sky bet League 1 look good. yes he has looked good this season playing in the CL, but that would of been 1 massive gamble if he failed to settle in England.
you also got to remember when the window was open we had 28 men to fit into a 25 man squad, that also needed a HG player or 2, but we never sold anyone, not even the better players that were on the out list.
you all moan at Levy for not paying top whack, but you expect him to give our players away for nothing, and with the PL paying better wages than the majority of clubs across the whole of Europe, then most of those on the out list most probably turned moves down due to wages.
there is the chance also that Levy knew before it was announced about the stadium, and had no idea what laid ahead in costs, so never went that extra mile, and I doubt even Poch would expect to over pay for a player, especially if that player wanted silly wages that would of meant a lot of unhappy squad members not receiving the same.
Man I love your enthusiasm and goodwill but there are so so many holes in almost of all what you have written here.
