This is my response… we’re not West Ham but we’re not a huge club either. That’s true historically too I’m afraid.

Can’t believe responses I’ve had to this over the past few weeks when I’ve said we weren’t on the trophy trail every season until ENIC.
But at least we had hope in the nineties they say. Did we? The only hope we had was not to be relegated again.
Also, any hope came from a far more egalitarian league. Greater wealth in the league has led to greater inequalities. In the 80s the league was a balloon which hadn’t been inflated. The dots were all close together even if some teams were bigger than others.
Increased money through the PL has led to that balloon being blown up and every team is further away from each other; progress is harder to secure.
If the PL had been established 10 years earlier then Man Utd were nowhere and it might be Tottenham who were best placed to take advantage. The influx of money doesn’t care where it ends up but it does begin to entrench advantages.
Our more emotional posters ignore all that.
Should have made the vote public too. Amateur hour.
I voted Stay, because there wasn’t a “I don’t give a fuck who owns us” option.

Genius thread to essentially create an apologists list!
Yes Man City supporters are happy, at least most are.
But widespread respect? I don't think so. Not like the respect afforded to Fergie's Man Utd or even Klopp's recent title. The view is generally that they've bought the titles.
It is public. I personally voted 'ENIC in' to entertain Joan and scott.

Full respect to people actively and intelligently protesting.

I would choose a “does it matter?” option.
Unless a country comes in and buys us, it won’t make a difference. We can’t keep up with the UAE and the two Saudi funded teams (Newcastle and Chelsea) unless we get our own sugar daddies that probably have humans rights issues. Is that what people want?

What to bully and castigate people with opposing views? It’s a forum. Sometimes I’d like to hear JT’s view on a player or tactic or formation or just anything that isn’t about Enic for once
What about if owners come in who actually know how to run the football side of a football club?
It’s a pretty good yardstick
Winning things
Preferably by playing good attractive football as in the Billy Nic days but I’ll settle for winning anything worthwhile by playing shite
Playing shite and not winning anything worthwhile is unacceptable for a club like ours!
I think they need 3 or 4 more windows tbh.
We were the 4th most decorated club in English Football when ENIC got their mitts on us.
First Post war double winners
First European trophy winners
Transfer market record breakers.
For him to say we're not historically a huge club is a bit demeaning tbh.
We are Tottenham Hotspur ffs
