You don`t have to accept dodgy money at all, why not accept some "clean money" and get rid of the main reason we win fack all in the process, ENIC. This club has a losers mentality, created over many years by Levy and ENIC, there is no pressure for our players to win silverware. The reason we win nothing is down to our clueless chairman, who makes bad decision after bad decision, he employs the wrong people, signs the wrong players, wastes money on the wrong players and cuts off his nose to spite his face like night follows day. Every decision Levy takes is a business decision rather than a sporting one, that`s no good for building a football team that wins silverware.

And he's the best in the business at business decisions.

The key is for him to fully delegate the football side of it to a team that doesn't answer to him unless targets are drastically missed.

There is no coincidence that our worst patch in recent history happened when Levy was meddling too much in that side of things.

Are you living in the past? Have you noticed who wins the FA Cup these days? Have you noticed who wins the league? It's one of 3 or 4 clubs, two of whom have received huge amounts of dogey money and the other two have had larger incomes than Spurs. In terms of league performance this is arguably the most successful period in Spurs history. We were never as consitent in finishing top 6 before ENIC. We won cups, yes we did and were known as a cup team. In those days the FA Cup was won almost by a different team every year. That's all changed with the creation of the PL. Levy has kept us up there in the league and his decisions have increased our income and put us in contention to win cups and the league. Compare Spurs over the last 20 years with our real former equals. Everton, Villa, Newcastle, Leeds. Then you will see the true worth of how we have done.

I think with Ange we could be on the verge of making the breakthrough into league and cup success but without the new stadium and the increase in turnover worldwide we would stand very little chance. Ask Leeds, Sunderland, Portsmouth, Everton, Birmingham, Blackpool, Nottm Forest, Wolves. All these clubs have success in their past their prospects are difficult, only Everton have made moves to change their situation by earning MORE MONEY and sadly that's what it's all about now. If you're a Spurs fan you should enjoy what you have and be happy that we have not sunk into League 1 like a number of our former competitors have.

Klopp is done as a manager. Announced his retirement from being a coach?

Just seen that, fair play to him, thought he may have fancied a crack at international football down the line but he's achieved pretty much everything as a club manager so makes sense to end it all on a high. Definitely one of the best in the modern era and will be remembered long after we're all gone as well I'd suspect.

Massive knobhead though, just thought I'd add that in.

He's had his eyes fixed, his teeth fixed, and his bank balance fixed not such a knobhead at all <laugh>

AND millions of people love him so not bad at all.

Wrong on every count. Increasing income is the only way of building a club that regularly wins trophies. There are no counter examples anywhere. Luck can win one or two trophies. Money wins the others.

The income has been increased to be the 8th highest revenue in world football, but we still have Levy here making fack up after fack up, making bad decisions for the football operations and prioritising business ventures over sporting success.

Great. Does this mean we now have to suffer him as a pundit?

I hope we get a documentary or even movie of it all.

Could even be an indirect sequel to one of the greatest films ever made - Cool Runnings!

his sights on Predator 2 and "Marked for death" .
