That stuff has everything to do with football. The luxury prawn sandwich stuff is meant to raise the financial level of the club to where we can compete with the elite in wages and transfer dealings.

That's just names mate. No thought to motivation of the players who are routinely 2nd.
Mentality, options and quality are my key requirements in our squad.
Have we done enough to bridge the gap by standing still?
The nightmare scenario would be taking a hiding at the hands of Liverpool in the new stadium debut with Sissoko and Amos or something getting spun in circles in midfield.
X-amount of the fan-base will be all over it the first chance they get too, sadly.
On a positive note, I think we'll rise to the challenge tho'.
Silver lining: spending bugger all despite the record TV money. That stadium had better be paid off at least a year more quickly now.
Nah. Just a bigger bonus for teflon dan
Playing the fucking depth would help.
....it's not open yet?
Spurs’ marquee signing finally revealed:
If we were gonna spend £50m on CHEESE I'd be worried... but I'm willing to bet that ANY money ever generated from player sales would NEVER be allocated for cheese...
Even on Levys watch!
Not being prepared to raise our offer to £30m had nothing to do with a trawler of brie being delivered!
LEVY: "Alright esteemed THFC board- I'm pleased to report we've sold over 1.5 million prawn sandwiches and 200 metric tons of cheese this past year- our coffers are overflowing with cash, the club has taken record profits. We can finally compete in the champions league..."
Imagine the same scenario with Liverpool's 'window-winning' MFs struggle to click with Klopp/PL football whilst Amos knocks the winner in off his arse and through Alisons legs.
COYS!
Footballs back.... Thanks fuck.
So a big part of any improvement such that it is will fall on Pochettino's lap I feel. He now needs to get 1 or 2% more out of the whole squad.
If you believe we actually made bids then we did want to buy but our targets were not available at the price we were prepared to pay. Poch said something about if you have a squad of 25 that it is difficult to add to it. That appears the problem, unless we got rid of a foreign based player we could only buy Home trained and there was no one available at the right price that we wanted. With so much money in the Premiership now teams can reject even massive offers and keep their stars even if they wanted to go. We were not prepared to buy before we sell as we did last year with Llorente which pushed out Janssen.
As I said previously not buying or selling was not the plan.
Worried about the start with injuries and WC hangovers but expect once we get going to be up there competing. Not going to make prediction for top 4 but it will be close.
Disappointed at outcome but we can still continue to defy the odds and get top 4 and maybe with a bit of luck win a domestic cup.

LOL WTF, it can’t be equally true, numbnuts.
He has his flaws.
Game management and use of squad are two important ones that if he improves this year, could be key for us.
To be fair they spent more than Citeh too...Cardiff and Huddersfield spent more than us!
EDIT
Only one out of that list is proven in the English game so the others have a big question mark on whether they will be any good over here.
