would that not pay his wages?
:stupid:

That wouldn't even pay the back 4's wages.

'ArryCan you show a breakdown of income vs expenditure that shows that "the fans" pay his wages please?

I don't mean to pick on you in particular, I'm just bored shitless of this whole "We pay his wages" bollocks whenever a player or member of staff at THFC PLC has a bitch in the press about their employer.

First of all, none of us know how the funds received are allocated.

Second of all, the money given to THFC PLC is done on a purely voluntary basis.

Third of all, it seems that only football sees this, "We pay your wages" bollocks. I bet not many of those complaining about 'arry talking about some of the fans have bitched and moaned at Mark Zuckerberg for calling each individual user of Facebook a moron claiming to "pay his wages", or bitched at Tesco when their staff have spoken of the "idiot" customers they get justifying it with the mantra of "We pay your wages".

Seriously, can anybody think of any scenario other than football where the incessant bitching, moaning and abuse is justified with "we pay his wages"?

That is precisely why supporter can say "we pay your wages".

This board is slowly but surely becoming so pathetic with all these Harry out campaigns.

if i wasn't a Spurs fan i'd take completely pleasure in watching them fail each and every time just so i could read the idiotic postings of these Neanderthals.

literally 3 years ago we was mid-table floaters, sometimes punching above our weight in clinching 5th, other times and most of the time lucky to finish top half of table.

fucking pathetic all this nonsense.

While I agree that some of the comments from posters who seem to be enjoying Harry (and therefore our club) fail are pretty disgraceful, you seem to be saying that he is untouchable criticism wise, and this should never be the case.

We have won one game in like fifteen, that is bad regardless of circumstances or whatever stage of the season it is. Any clubs fans would be annoyed at that. Ferguson would be getting flack from Utd fans if they went on a run like this, even though he has won shitloads in comparison to Harry. At the end of the day the past in some ways means jack shit, its what your doing in the present that counts and right now its not very well.

I agree but this is just money through the turnstiles but if us idiots didn't turn up then there is no THFC , no shirt sales no TV rights, no shares.

That literally makes no sense whatsoever.

I don't think the loss of £11m a year in the turnstiles would do that much damage to the clubs finances in all honesty, not that it would be a loss, because if those who are busy being offended did decide to walk out, which they won't, there would be more people along to take their place. :razz:

Looks like Reddnapp was right after all!

 

[Lanh]

Yay! A convert! :grin:

 

[ossie]

Yay! A convert! :grin:

No i just ment 0.01% are idiots and can't even work out that with out fans a football club can't make money.

 

[roosh]

Harry is right to a certain extent. It isn't entirely his fault, but he has to take a large portion of the blame.

He's earned the right to another season though.

 

[Lanh]

Oh! I see! You're calling me an idiot right? :lol:

Hmmmm...that's not nice, I should take offence to that and kick up a fuss!

On the other hand I could just remember I'm an adult, realise that it's inconsequential and laugh instead.

I'd forgotten how thoroughly enlightened/enlightening Spurs Chat could be :lol:

 

[bubble07]

am I an idiot for not knowing whether I'm an idiot or not?

Don't ask us. We're all idiots. I think :think:

 

[wizgell]

When Redknapp took over I wasn't convinced the appointment was the right one, and ever since I have had an issue with his management. I have stated this on here before and have backed it up with several points.
This season however it has reached the point where I don't want to see him at my club anymore. He has constantly told us fans what to think, the press attention he gets here compared to what he did at Pompey, So'ton etc has led to him talking about anything and everything- he never seems to answer a press question with "it's nothing to do with me" or anything like that.
The fact that he was delighted to accept and enforce all the plaudits in his direction for 'keeping us up' but now refuses to take any blame for this season's failings is laughable. Yes, we got to the 1/4 finals of the Champions League and will finish in the 'top 6' in the league. But there has been no progression from last season, if anything we have taken a step backwards.

Our strikers have forgotten how to score, what seemed like a great team ethic last season has turned into us being a 1 or 2 man team, our scouts are at fault for not signing the top players our Chairman so craved.

At the beginning of the season it was "we could win the league" now it is "no chance we aren't rich enough"...

I don't even know where I am heading with this because I am now ranting....

Basically I want him and his old school backroom staff and their tired methods out so our great football club can continue to progress in the manner we have been doing since Levy took over.

I'm going to go on record now and say with him and his little posse of betting and yes men on board we will finish between 8th and 13th next season

Thanks

Football is a spectacle, it only makes money because people are willing to watch it (be that at the ground or on TV), support it, buy the merchandise etc.

If we have any money it's because of the fans, without us we'd have fuck all.

It's unbelievable, frankly, that this isn't understood.

The only exception to the above is those clubs owned and funded by the billionaires.

So yes, we, collectively, pay Harry's wages.

It means that without fans there`s no football. If no one pays through the turnstile, why would they bother with Sky?
No fans, no advertising, no football.
Probably a bit simplistic but im sure you understand this time.

 

[StartingPrice]

am I an idiot for not knowing whether I'm an idiot or not?

:hand:
That's dangerous territory.

Any one of us could be vulnerable.

I'm not an idiot...:think:...but would I know if I were...so maybe I am...but I just don't know it.

It's eating me up, inside...I will have to lay down and think about this one

 

[Mr Pink]

Sloth, I was thinking exactly the same thing lol.

What the hell does how the funds are allocated have anything to do with it, honestly thats an absurd way to attempt to rationalise this. Its like revealing that a break down of costs show the managers salary coming from elsewhere other than gate receipts....absolutely ridiculous, without the fans the Club wouldn't function and no Tottenham manager would earn this sort of living, so yeah we do pay his wages.

Like I say, it's almost unbelievable that people could try to argue otherwise :up:
