Rival watch

It is their cup final.
All Spurs have to do is get into the same mindset (win or the world ends) .

 

Ken Bates bought Chelsea FC for £1 in 1982

 

...and then set about devaluing it....

 

AFAIK, Chelsky had a "year zero" where Roman wrote off the
entire debt and has even legally mandated that his inheritors cannot
call it in (in case his then wife decides she would rather have all the
money to spend on shoes etc) .

So now they are running like many other clubs, but with the UEFA FFP
biting increasing harder at a time when they may now be regularly out
of the CL.

 

Only because that week I dithered on whether to use my
pocket money for a laugh to buy them or the Ally Pally.

 

You had a £1?

He'll want to get it back from sale proceeds though. You don't get that rich by writing off that much money. The problem is that it was spent on wages and transfer fees of players who have now retired or are still there and just a little bit ****.

The yanks can spot a turkey when they see one. The stadium is a real killer in terms of growth, which is why Roman's got nowhere to go. It'll cost a minimum £1.5 billion to develop that site....with 5 years playing somewhere else and the owner doesn't even own the pitch area....I can see the Americans just loving that!

 

Yep. In 1977 when I did a milk round, I had £14 (bigshot tycoon) .

 

Depends how much money he is now down to.
Vanity projects are not normally about getting your money back
(that is a nice bonus if/when it comes to that end) .

 

It's been widely reported from The States that he wants £3billion for it....which suggests that he doesn't feel that way.

 

Bridge or Fletcher should get some Savlon on the hand that picked the city ball out

 

Somebody better let the mysterious backers of Chuka Umunna's Vanity Project that...

 

Sanctions from the west on Russia money must be biting then. < so sad >

 

For this one, I suspect that their identify will be revealed by the Panama '*** papers' .

 

I'm not sure any of those players would make our best XI and only two or three would improve our squad. That illustrates why our policy of not spending is reasonable.

 

Absolutely.

Plus they've had some serious homegrown talent come through their Academy in that time and most of it has headed for the exit for much less. Utter madness.

 

Did you buy one of these babies?

Sooooooo 70's......I love it. I wore mine so much that the cockerel washed off it. The shirt was indestructible.

 

The thing that stands out for me is we were linked with both Bakayoko and Barkley before the Chavs waved a handful of £50 notes at them to secure the deals, and while at the time it looked like we'd missed out now it looks less like we dodged a bullet and more that somebody paid a lot of money to stand in its path for us

 

I have just been rushed to intensive care due to PTSD triggering
anaphylactic reaction on my skin. Every kid who had that Admiral
kit back in the day said it was as itchy AF.

 

In that regard, the Sugga Daddy FCs are useful in the food chain
as they filter out mercs with little drive to make a starting XI place
theirs by right.
