    No. Of course wealth can’t always be an accurate barometer of success, that’s where other factors come in. Management, training, buying and selling, etc. Otherwise Leicester would never have won the league.

    However, it is a guide to the resources available to each club. And in these days of ever increasing importance of money ( as the prices of any half decent players rise and rise ) it’s as good a guide as any.

    Considering our financial position, we’ve done pretty well the last few seasons. A club our size reaching the CL at all is an achievement in itself.

    Wealth doesn't guarantee success but when five other clubs can spend much more than us it's a really hard job to come above all of them. The solution is to gradually improve. We will lose some good players on the way unfortunately but provided we replace them carefully we can still get better.

    That’s pretty desperate, even by your needy standards!

    The Star has cobbled bits and pieces of old interviews together in order to give the impression that he wants out of Spurs. What they haven’t done is quote him when he said that he intends to spend his career at Spurs.

    Desperate stuff from a rag that is desperate to weaken us, and desperate stuff from a muppet who knows he’s lost twenty notes.

    You’ve had 55 years and a shed load of managers, what went wrong?

    Until Levy was appointed we've never had a Board who understood what it takes to win the league so we massively underperformed despite quite a few cup successes. We had a disastrous time just before the CL started which left us uncompetitive with the then top 4 and we've been having to recover since.

    Don’t even try to discuss anything with Skiddy, mate. He’s interested only in piss poor wummery.
