Your in the business of selling all your best players and we aren't. And by not selling our best players we win things and become more attractive to high paying sponsors, thus earning more money and not having to sell our best players. However, if Spurs ambition is to top the net spend on players league I am truly happy for you. How big is that trophy again? It would be far more credible were it a pure business decision regarding some of your sponsorships. Its not however....its a simple case of funding rather than sponsorship really hidden behind a thin veil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a big surprise to Carmine that your stadium cost has increased as he seems to be in denial. 2. Don't recall anybody mentioning the possibility of the increased stadium cost bankrupting Spurs, it was more the likelihood of it having an effect on your buying of players in the coming seasons. 3. I seriously doubt any of the City, ManU, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal posters on here are at all jealous of Spurs at any level - why would we be?

As far as I remember nobody has stated you have bankrupted yourselves. From what I remember, the main points made about the increasing stadium costs where how you intend to repay i.e. by putting up prices to loyal fans and that there won't be money for you to spend on top class players. If you can find a post where someone has stated that you have bankrupted yourselves, then I must have missed it Only yourself, short memory ah !!!! · Posted May 2 · The worrying thing for me is that you seem so oblivious to the fact that it could ruin you.

BB don't see it like that mrboj....he sees nothing but eternal fair play and thinks all of your players are carried in by storks and all are desperate to play for the blues.

Sorry if that sounds so hard for City fans to stomach. You just keep doing what you are doing, as hollow as it is viewed by others...then we'll all be happy. Ipswich, Everton, Liverpool, ManU, City, Leeds, Arsenal, Derby, Forest, Villa, Blackburn, Chelsea and Leicester (13 clubs) have all shown the ambition to be Champions of England in the past 57 years 2 months and 12 days since Spurs showed any ambition. Think about that for a club of your size and resources over that time period to have failed to be Champions. Jealous...not half! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
