Off Topic Tottenham a Founder Member of a Breakaway European Super League

Oxford University and Queens Park have won the Premiership the same amount that Spurs have - so they must be Super

 

Though they haven't qualified for Europe via their league placing for 11 successive seasons so perhaps they are not so super after all.

 

I've personally won as many trophies as Millwall, so I guess that makes me a football club.
Clapham Rovers are a more successful South London team. This was them:

Just had a look at the net worth of Millwall

it’s about the same price as we would demand for Harry Kane

 

That much? Surprising.

 

I think that's the net worth of their owner. John Berylson, an American businessman.
The club? About a tenner, I'd have thought.

 

I have the 'pleasure' of passing The New Den on my way into London Bridge....it would have been kinder to let the council flog it off to developers.

 

If you sold Harry Kane for £100M this Summer, you'd only be £1.07 billion in debt

Don't worry though, you'd still be just ahead of Barcelona with the biggest debt in world football.

 

And there was you saying we don't win anything!!!

 

you gangsta!

 

The football club or the whole area of London known as Millwall?

 

Florentino Perez claims the Super League was "created to save football".

Or should that be "to save my club which has mounting debts and a decaying stadium"?

The Bastille was stormed for less.

 

I was reading some of the quotes of his interview last night via Romano’s tweets.

Sickly as ****.

Can’t believe our dickhead chairman has agreed to join forces with him.

 

You're talking about the same chairman who posed in a bath of rose petals the minute Real asked him for a "special relationship", even though the only thing "special" about it was the fact that Real got first dibs on our best players then sold their best players to our rivals.

I honestly think Levy goes all starry eyed when someone like Perez picks up the phone to him. Just as he did when Jose sat in our dugout for the Inter Legends team. Part of him cannot believe that the mid table, irrelevant team he took over could rub shoulders with football's aristocracy. It's an issue that probably stems from the fact that he is a Spurs fan and grew up watching us. I don't think even decades of ruthless business deals have fully severed the childlike emotional connection to the club. It is probably why he likes playing fantasy manager with the club and hanging around with the players so often. He's literally fulfilling a childhood dream.

Whilst I wouldn't want anyone like them at the top, the cold detachment of the likes of Fenway, Abramovitch and the Glazers (who probably don't know what a 'soccer' pitch even looks like) can sometimes come in handy.

 

The Tory Party
The Republican Party

 

I can.

This is Levy's Achilles heel in my humble opinion. He wants so much to be accepted in the 'elite' echelons that he tries to align himself with these characters at every opportunity he gets. (It's also how we ended up with Mourinho as manager.)

I know you remember the 'special arrangement' he forged with Real Madrid in the Bale transfer. What the french toast was that!! Then he nominated Perez in that bucket challenge as if they are friends. LOL. He got completely aired.

I don't think Perez respects him or likes him at all, but fully takes advantage of his need to be 'liked' in 'high' places.

In Levy's eyes it's all for the financial good of the club. Good idea or not, better be in the 'winners' circle than to be left behind with the 'losers', especially when the club is up to its eyeballs in debt that can be drastically cut in one move.

It's a shallow perspective that is unfortunately costing us on basic footballing levels, especially when we are nearly elite at best.

He can't see how it makes Tottenham a laughing stock. Just sort the damn team out and win some things. That would earn the club, and him, all the respect needed, rather than buying, begging or aligning the way into success.

 

We had similar thoughts at the same time.

 

It's probably increased after they got their ground back
