    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    Under several managers we have put in worse performances in the EL than we were doing in the PL at the time. Effort, commitment, giving a shit, putting out a cohesive team - call it what you will. We have consistently struggled to beat teams we should comfortably get past and lost to those we...

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    I cannot see that we will be dropping £100m on any player with the way that FFP and the like are now biting. I absolutely agree that all managers need time to implement their ideas and build a squad that suits how they want to play. However, the manager needs to want to be here and see it...

    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    I know, but in the past we've treated the Europa like the league cup and been caught out. I'd really like to see us have a proper go at it - one or two subs but not half a team etc. Now obviously, if instead of that I have to watch us up against Real Madrid in the CL I'm sure I'll get over it...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    What has this got to do with Ange? You hate Levy, you wish we'd spend be more ambitious and spend more money - I know, I get it, but it doesn't need to be said in every single thread!

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    The stuff about Ange managing in lesser leagues being an issue is a bit of an odd one to me. Most leagues are competitive, so if you are winning at that level you are doing well. The PL is tougher than the Aussie league (I assume as I don't watch the Aussie one!), but we have better players to...

    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    4th or 5th would be a pretty decent result with all our changes. As for Europa or CL, I just want us to be in Europe and be genuinely competitive, not just making up the numbers to generate some cash.

    Match Threads Newcastle vs Spurs

    I missed today, anyone able to give me a sensible, brief synopsis of what went wrong? Were we massively outplayed, unlucky, robbed by the ref, just plain shit? Thanks

    Spurs finances report 22/23 (swissramble writeup)

    We're in a tricky place where we don't pay the wages of the really top teams, but do overpay for most teams across Europe - quite a tough balancing act. I thought we were relatively low wage payers but loads of bonuses, so it can change dramatically if we get top 4, win a cup, score 400 goals...

    I'd somehow forgotten that we still have this guy on our books!

    Premier League 2023/2024

    For me, if it's just fast it'd be an improvement. If pundits could stop obsessing about whether an armpit hair is or isn't a millimetre over an imaginary line, that'd also help! :LOL:

    I'm up for anything that makes things a bit quicker.

    Spurs finances report 22/23 (swissramble writeup)

    Surely us earning more money is a good thing as long as it gets invested into the club and not into ENIC's pockets? Also, isn't it the wage bill, rather than the purchase price of players which gives the biggest chance of success - ie the clubs with the highest wage bill tend to win the most...
