    And that's my point exactly, you need to throw off this small club mentality that you have if you're to achieve any success in the game, its endearing that during your golden window (last 6/7 years) when the big boys have chopped and changed and given you a foot in the door of the elite clubs club you've not capitalized at all, so paying pennies has brought you exactly how many cups?

    Souldnt take you long to count

    big club mentality that you have, if you are to avoid clubs
    with a wage bill such as Spurs spanking you with such
    alarming regularity in the PL table.

    Subtract one from the total the Poool have won,
    and you have your answer.

    I'll wait (for you to do the complex maths involved) ...

    Tell many how many trophies the Poool won over
    said period, and I'll do the "complex maths" for you.

    1. Is it (one cup win) ?? You tell us.

    2. if so, what you are trying to tell us is that the nett reward
    of the Poool extra wage spend wrt Spurs since 2010 is ...
    one League Cup win ??

    Lots of erratic spellings tell me I've triggered you in some way which was not my intention.

    To answer your question

    Yes.

    What have you to show for such financial prudence?

    Next season sees our long-awaited return to this universally loved Spurs character.......if he's done the plastering in time....

    .....the character grew out of The Shelf Boys waving their wads at Scousers, Mancs, Geordies.

    But you've admitted that you pay a crapload more on players like Coutinho and they're still going to leave anyway. <confused>

    One less trophy than the Poool (and that being a League Cup) .
    I think I can live with that.

    So why try to compete with those clubs on wages, then?
    You end up losing your best players to them anyway and get lumbered with Sturridge on £150k PW.
    Maybe build a new ground so you can level the playing field a bit and away fans can actually see a bit of the game?

    It's cost them £1 billion in wages and transfers over the last decade compared to us.........for the glory of a League Cup. <laugh>

    so i think what we have learned here today is that spurs fans dont want or care about winning trophies, happy with nothing as long as the net spend cup is won <laugh>

    If you look at the 591 ex-Saints in the Liverpool squad now, wouldn't it have been cheaper to buy Southampton?
    Next up? Bertrand, Walcott and Forster, probably.
