Hola.
Apologies for going missing aujourd’hui, I am on the proverbial lamb. This blog however I do believe this well worth sharing and have nipped into an emporium that offers greater riches* than a Las Vegas hotel in order to get this to you.
*If your perception of ‘riches’ is a jacket potato machine that obviously hasn’t been cleaned since it left the factory.
This then is a decent gem from the heavily guarded, FTL forum … all [sic] courtesy of ‘Cabinessence’…
Levy and Pleat are close in relation to potential signings. Him and God knows how many others. Danny Boy really does his homework and speaks to loads before going in.
Apparently our targets are heavily influenced by a ‘team’ of statisticians who pour over numbers-someone mentioned Remy having scored more headers from set pieces than any other forward in Europe?
Well that’s the sort of info they’d know. Arry just says where we need strengthening and then gets asked if he has any objections to whoever the team put forward as the solution.
He might throw a few names in the hat himself but generally it’s down to the team. It certainly isn’t based on scouting someone for 2 games. He has no input on the financial aspects of any deal other than when the solution being put forward might have an impact on other acquisitions.
Apparently under our current business model we have around £20m to spend each year but that includes any increases in salary either from new signings or contract renegotiations. Needless to say we do HP on every deal. VDV £8m was written over 4 yrs apparently.
But their wages impact on that £20m for the duration of their stay with us unless we offload players. So someone new on £70,000pw basically takes £3.6m out of our £20m every year.
Obviously a CL foray increases the coffers but as that can’t be, ‘guaranteed’ it’s not included for wages planning. Danny Boy very pee’d off with ‘Arry who virtually went “missing” from his court case till Woy got appointed. Words were said.
Team meeting of players did happen saying that no meaningful tactics were being worked on for the period etc etc. Basically it was just them and the coaching staff.
Club not happy with Lennon’s attitude either.
Our Finance guy thinks L’pool’s financial model sucks.
The £50m debt we have is for the purchase of stadium land. But we’ve done a deal with Sainsbury who’ll give us either £50m or £70m. Can’t remember, but know both figures were mentioned.
Anyway they’re going to build the biggest Sainsbury’s in the country on there and that will start v soon, as will the hotel. Stadium won’t start till a £150m naming rights deal is done which hasn’t been yet.
Oh and there’s something happening down White Hart Lane relating to something being done with the council and involving parking.
Can we all club together
Can we all club.
Mmmmm loved club bars. Hope the new Sainos has 5 packs.
I always preferred a Trio.
Trio, Triiiiio, I wanna trio to sign for Spurs!
What about the biscuit dedicated to counting down the number of Spurs’ summer signings?
“Fiiiive, foour, threeeee two, one….. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1… 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!”
Sorry, I meant, dedicated to counting down to the (eventual) number of Spurs’ summer signings.
if you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit join our club.
“If you like your Big One to last a long time,
Big one, sticks out a mile”
:whistle: Cadbury’s Big One
Reminds me of when the Icelandic biscuit barrons took over the Spammers..
They had a song going.. “If you’ve made a lot of money selling biscuits, buy our club!”
not bad..
Sorry- Can’t resist!
Everyone’s a Fruit and Nut case
It keeps you going when you toss the caber,
Whatever you are doing.
Punting, canoeing
It’s nutricious and beauticious
To judiciously be chewing.
Everyone’s a Fruit and Nut case
If only it could help improve my singing,
A healthy recreation.
What a combination
Cadbury’s — Fruit and Nut
Hes after the Blue Ribband!!
After Saturday, can we all blub together?! ;)
Knowing Haringey gooner council, they will ban parking to a five mile radius.
How does anyone employed manage to basically f*** off for months without consequences happening to them. Also surely tactics are one of the most basic and essential parts of a football managers role. It blood show sometimes that we have. I gameplay. No plan A & definately no plan B. Furious
It bloody shows sometimes that we have no gameplan…. Still furious
the “No” got Spurs 20 wins and 9 draws (best return yet?) I may go for and improved “No” plan next season.
“No Plan”
just go, and fuck off, 4th place brain surgeon? were you not aware of the CL finalists? c unt
Seriously? You were happy with 4th place? You wouldn’t like an provement?
…an improvement
Is this in a bup?
‘pub’?
I’m furious too. That 4th’s not good enough. It’s bow locks at its highest point. We’re entitled to CL. We should sue them. They’re already looking at reviewing it. My anger is aimed at the post movers. Not our manager, who despite steering us to our first 4th place finish, ever, since the prem lge started, is criticized for not getting 3rd, due to the Germans losing a game they never should’ve. I guess you guys are just driving around in you mams new £30,000 car, on her insurance. Sweet. Jammies.
Given the budget constraints we surely cant afford both Remy & Vertonghen unless we either make an exception or we offload?
Offload
I really love this talk….it gets me all excited and takes away the pain….thats what dreaming does….the reality is…we are buying Emile Heskey
on a free and all the walls sausages in aisle number 2
I heard he got married… now its mrs. Heskey, not Heskey misses… bum bum… here all week
lololol. I’m no Heskey lover but my Pool supporting glory-hunting friend, also known for his poor decision-making skills.., likes him. I think I just sorted that on my own.
Thanks for making me laugh at this fraught and frustrating time….:)
Success has come too soon for THFC. Momentum now has to be maintained until the new stadium is completed or less sponsors, no stadium.
No stadium no sale. Difficult times for ENIC.
“too soon”?
…”success” ?
