That claim about Champions League has been proven to be bollocks now. Like the Governments Austertity drive it was the reason not to give the populas what it wanted. Our transfer business is based on one thing how much can I get from spending as little as possible. It's cheap and ultimately results in very little satisfaction on the pitch or in the stands. But gives one man ( and his mates ) a hefty bonus every year we can only dream of. Levy has got rich from Spurs. Not sure Spurs were enriched by ENIC
Real spend their entire time trying to tap up our players.......literally the career path of players joining us is a) play well sign for Real b) play averagely sign for Hull
Not literally. It doesn't translate directly in context.
Anywhere in between, finish 5th.
No he isn't. Operación is used in spanish to describe the action of a transfer.
Ibby was still in Champs league too at psg. Lol you are right though.
It's not a direct translation of 'transfer', but not much of spanish translates directly. That's why google translate comes out as bollocks most of the time.
Portuguese speaking here, spanish is very similar, in that case "operación" means deal = transfer. You got it right.
Spurs in the 5 seasons before ENIC (1996-2001): 10th, 14th, 11th, 10th, 12th
Spurs in the last 5 seasons (2011-2016): 4th, 5th, 6th, 5th, 3rd
They haven't been Abramovich/Mansour/Qatar-level miracle workers, but they've definitely improved the club dramatically.
Whilst charging some of the top level prices in the country.
Income vs league position we are bang on par.
Are we? The 6th-richest club, with the 6th-highest wage bill, yet the average league position over the past 5 years is 4.6.
EDIT: And a source for the "richest" claim, since I know that's a bit vague. Going by revenue, all in millions of euros:
1. Man United-519
2. Man City-463
3. Woolwich-435
4. Chelsea-420
5. Liverpool-391
6. Spurs-257

True. It is making this forum become a bit of a joke.
Say something positive & you get lots of agrees & you are accepted. You tell each other what great & better fans you are.
Point out any worries & you get lots of disagrees & the "spurs can do no wrong" gang have there wicked way with you.
The in thing is still to call someone a melt for the smallest of things.
Most over used word going on here.

Seen it on Twitter and as much as it hurts to say it, we really don't need him if he is going back to Malaga. It's nice to see players going back to their old clubs, but not for a 24 year old with so much talent.
