I do agree with you. I was not a fan of the idea of moving to the Olympic Stadium, but I don't think that that would have affected the various community projects that the club is involved with in Enfield/Haringey. I also don't think that the motivation was to maliciously move the clubs interests to Stratford... there was just an opportunity to give Spurs a big, new stadium immediately and relatively cheaply. It's the kind of thing that I would expect of the board and is another thing where I think us fans can be quick to make up a narrative about Levy that isn't necessarily true. I much prefer the new stadium on the WHL grounds, but it would have been negligent for our board not to take a serious look at the Olympic Stadium imo.
The olympic stadium would no way be cheap, the only benefit would have been selling white hart lane other than that the plot at stratford whilst it is great is riddled with engineering problems hence why a relative cheap design in the OS cost so much to build and also why West ham were limited in their options with retractable seating

Maddison looked pretty decent against United the other day too.

Still wouldnt get a head of Eriksen. Though a definite improvement on Sissoko. Trouble is he knows going to Leicester he will be literally guaranteed 1st team football, plus I’m sure he has a history on social media for disliking Spurs, so might of turned us down anyway.

People always plead for transparency from their clubs when it comes to finances, you will never get it as clubs need to protect their brand. No one is ever going to be privy to information like this especially this sensitive, it's just pure wishful thinking.

Would have thought people would have learnt by now, companies will always spin things for their customers (yes I said customers because that is essentially what we are) to put it in a positive light, always...and the chances are that if the club are keeping quiet on the finances then you probably wouldn't want to know th overall cost and our financial plight.

Might be different from next year with uefasnew rules for ffp. All clubs will have to publish their accounts they will also be hamonised.

Fucking hell, this Maddison thing...again.

Just wait till he has a bad match, you're gonna hop off his nuts and probably jump on whoever flavour of the month no10 type is. :LOL:

What you mean like this summer mate? Perhaps you're right Zed, but they certainly "trod water and did nothing" in this summer's window didn't they. If ENIC are indeed looking to sell the Club as soon as the stadium is built, perhaps they'd see something as "frivolous" as buying expensive footballers unnecessary and unprofitable: they can just leave that financial "burden" to the new owners? As I said previously, it would be a good indication of where ENIC's motives truly lie: do they stick around to invest the increased revenue in the football team, or do they minimise spending as they wait to sell up. I guess we'll soon find out mate.

So Moutinho said he signed for us back in 2012 when avb was coach but a few mins after the deadline. Looks like it was a Levy special gone wrong!

Neither - usually, when journalists quote stories on twitter the article follows within the next print, tomorrow morning presumably. On the flip side, it could simply be lies. I hope it's the former...

It's always been for sale, for the right price

Have never had an real desire to see us sold to some foreign super power as there is too much risk involved. But if we are going to stop buying players all together then maybe my opinion might have to change. Would have to be the right investors but it's not like we would have any say over it.

Levy has said that we're always up for sale at the right price.
