    A stadium with a 1000 offices sounds quite interesting, wouldn’t mind seeing the design of that.

    It depends how you define okay though I guess. I mean if the PIF genuinely invest in club infrastructure to generate higher revenues and use their funds to ‘somewhat’ grow Toon organically rather than just pump hundreds of millions in transfers every window then it’d be hard to have too many complaints.

    Given that Tanguy Ndombele is being released for free this Summer I just want to soak up how delicious this entire wiki entry is:

    "On 2 July 2019, Ndombele signed for Tottenham Hotspur in a club-record deal worth €62 million (£55.45 million) plus up to €10 million (£8.97 million) in add-ons, surpassing the previous transfer record set by Davinson Sánchez."

    Stadiums are one of the biggest commitments in football atm imho
    So to be just handed one is a huge advantage over other clubs specially when the taxpayers have paid for their developments whether that be free or massively discounted
    Yet some fans forget that
    Strange innit

    Pretty much lol.

    He’s also the guy that failed to capitalise on a huge marketing opportunity by choosing not to have the shirt number 40, especially as watching him play makes you want to fall asleep too.

    Tottenham do seem to like a few **** players in their dressing room.. seems a common theme at most clubs. You'd think clubs could find 25 capable players.

    Yeah it’s like a law for us. Watching Emerson Royal these last few years has certainly given me the belief I can still turn pro at 34.

    These billionaire oil merchants in Toon land aren’t quite interested in success like the Russian Oligarch was and the dodgy City owners are

    Newcastle have offered Burnley £16m for 21-year-old English goalkeeper James Trafford, but the Clarets want £20m. (Mail)

    Newcastle remind me of Liverpool, the people, scousers n Geordies, 2 insecure species. Spend a bit of time there now when I go see my woman(she not a scouser phew)…they tend to give their infrastructure more worth than it is…to any other onlooker it just looks like a pile of ****. We got libraries and supermarkets with more character than that ugly contraption with the graffiti on it.
