The 5 teams that pay more than us are all above us in the rich list, with bigger sponsors, bigger grounds, bigger trophy cabinets or rich owners.
I don't really understand money in football. Why are all other clubs seemingly able to pay higher wages than us? Even teams that have far lower income?
Appreciate we are sorting stadium but its more than that. Are other clubs in much higher debt than i realise?
I am not quite sure how football has got to the stage where bang average players are getting towards £100k per weekand any decent players expects well over that............and whilst I admire our rigid pay structure and our ability to get players to accept a low wage in comparison to others, unless we change our stance this summer we are at risk of losing the great progress we have made in the last few years
yes but i am not really talking about them
Think you are a bitt off the mark. Haven't read anything today about anybody complaining about how the club has been run. People now are not worried about the past, but about whether or not we need to realign our present and immediate future plans and strategies with where we are actually at. We've seen some over-performance over the last 24 months, and people are getting worried about whether we are able to ride the wave or be swallowed by it.Quite amazing that we are probably the best run club in the country ,In our most consistent league form since the 60s yet people still manage to be doom and gloom .Thank f*** we aren't run like West Ham ,I really dread to think
I completely agree. Wait and see what happens that has clearly been leaked agent side and probably to get someone a pay rise.2 solid seasons of factual progress, some of the youngest up and coming stars in the world and as soon as a faceless ITK (I'm not knocking ITK here) people start losing their shit. Seriously get over yourselves, we need to look at ourselves and realise there are 2-3 bigger clubs in our own league neverming the rest of the world. I for one am glad agents are pissed off if true, the sooner tighter regs are brought in the better.
This typical summer period has been going on with us for years, we seem to have 10 times as much ITK as most other clubs and again the vast majority of it is either false or never comes to pass so we really need to keep perspective. Again @Archibald&Crooks and @Rob I'm not knocking ITK I'm more knocking some people's response. I enjoy the thread as much as anyone so please don't block me lol *grovel, grovel*
Totally agree with you in principal - but it's the professional jealousy angle I'm afraid. This or that guy earns twice as much as me and I think I'm a much better player than him. I deserve more. This distorts sense. Plus I can't dismiss the work of the agents in all this.If someone wants to leave for more success or playing time, fair enough, I can't blame them. If they're not a Spurs fan they wouldn't have that much loyalty to us and they want to utilise their relatively short careers as much as they can.
But if the sole reason you're leaving one club for another is more money, I think it's f***ing pathetic. When you're earning the likes of £100k per week how much difference can £50k/£100k per week extra make? You're still rich as f*** and can buy almost anything. I can't even imagine how it's possible to spend that much but they still want more... It's ridiculous.
If one of our players leaves us for like Manchester Utd or Liverpool, both in worse positions than we are currently, just for an extra £50k per week I'll be disgusted
I'll be honest Chris I think it still needs some work mate.... love the optimism nonetheless."We've Vickers, camron carter vickers
I just dont think you understand
Hes been with us for years
Hes better than Eric Dier
We have cameron carter vickers"
This time in 2 years lads, chin up
And he'll move in on Dele
The songs solid! Are you talking about ccv?I'll be honest Chris I think it still needs some work mate.... love the optimism nonetheless.
Haha. Missed 'got', as you were. Not a good self editorI'll be honest Chris I think it still needs some work mate.... love the optimism nonetheless.
As per usual there's been little response to the follow up ITK saying positive things but the 1 negative piece of info is now set in stone as fact2 solid seasons of factual progress, some of the youngest up and coming stars in the world and as soon as a faceless ITK (I'm not knocking ITK here) people start losing their shit.

Everton will be and they've just spent £54m in a couple of days!! Everton!!
Very depressing itk...
We are on the brink of something very special as a club, Levys surely not going to jeopardise it all is he?...
Unless i missed something the possitive was from Breezer, who knows Edwards fam and says he's actually all good. And the only other positive bit was that it isnt Kane or Dele we're selling?As per usual there's been little response to the follow up ITK saying positive things but the 1 negative piece of info is now set in stone as fact
