whats the latest estimate on that? -just so we can add 3 years, to work out the date it will actually be ready.Probably because £400m stadia are expensive and require some saving for. Remember how long the Goons went big money signingless after opening the Emirates?
It is but mere speculation that our managers don't get the players they want. Buying and selling, with agents demands thrown in as well, is not as simple as some make it seem (unless you are overpaying). So lets assume for a second that in most cases, Levy has delivered 75% of players each manager has asked for. The 25% are either out of our price range, don't want to come to Spurs or get a better offer.But not Levy though. Or Lewis. Or Enic. And definately not the fact that we are the lowest net spenders in the Premier league. Blame everyone but the people running the club, right ?
And then - absolve those players and the manager of all responsibility but blame the chairman when we don't achieve the results we expect.
Yup. Thats logic right there.
#TheBlameGameBut dont forget.....when the season is in full swing, slate the players and manager as being shit.
But during the windows, absolve them all, and slate the Chairman.

It's a nice Sainsbury's though.Say the first brick for the new stadium is laid tomorrow. Say the plans are all released, we can see the timescales and the results. Say it's all in place and the investment from the club's side is clear. Would people still be disappointed with our net spend?
I do wonder if people would act differently if they could actually see money being spent somewhere, even if not on player purchases. The problem we're in at the moment is that the new stadium is 10 years in the making, and so far we only have a patch of bare ground and a Sainsbury's to show for it.
To be fair, I haven't seen Levy clear on corner yet this season, nor has he got any goals or assists.Confusing as fuck........is Naughton crap, or is it Levy not picking people up at corners?
When Levy supposedly gave AVB the ultimatum to play Ade or fuck off out the club, both he and Ade were slated to fuck when AVB took that latter option.
The team improved, but Levy, Sherwood and Ade were the cunts.....AVB had nothing to do with it.
He needed time. with this squad. Seven new player, how could he possibly make it work in three months......
9 months and one window after AVB leaves, this squad is fucking shit.
Beggars belief the amount of contradictory bullshit people can blindly spin.

Should of. Would be done by now. We wouldn't be allowed to play in it, and the steel works would take up the East Stand as they wouldn't sell...but it'd be done.We were hardly going to build without planning permission....that was only granted in July THIS year

Maybe we should have just gone in and blown up the steel works, and burned down all the other shops, and built it illegally and hope the gonvernment would just say "oh gone on then...its up now"
That's a fake signature, Boris always signs off with a kiss...
Two years before the Goons moved into the Emirates they won the league undefeated. Consistently finishing 4th without spending too much was bare minimum for them. Here we are with a model that allows us to develop promising players and sell them for profit thereby allowing us to buy more promising players and keep us at (and above) our sixth place minimum. It's been 4 seasons since we spent more than we sold, but we're still continually playing European football and in the hunt for the Champions League.That comparison is ridiculous. Cos` every season your talking about they qualified for the champions league and also finished above us. So they were still achieving. We aint.
No. That's not what I'm implying at all. Making more money now will enable us to pay off the new stadium faster though. Obviously.Are you implying we're busy saving the 400m as a lump sum to pay in cash upfront?
With all due respect, take some time and think about that for a few minutes.
According to Wiki we've announced we'll move in ahead of the 2017/18 season.whats the latest estimate on that? -just so we can add 3 years, to work out the date it will actually be ready.
