    We've £78m in the bank. Down from £173m last year so a loss of £95m. That's a much bigger drop than I expected to be fair and I was one of those being critical on the wages to turnover ratio. As others have pointed out, Levy has no real independent wealth of his own to inject so unless Uncle...

    Sugar was a dingdong. Some of the stuff with Mabbutt is unforgivable given what he gave to our club. And there is obviously lots of other stuff from around that time. In a million years, I would not have begrudged Sol Campbell a move from Tottenham at that time. He was too good to play for that...

    I hate him so my opinion is probably coloured by that. But the insinuation that a club would try and “frame a player” (his words) to use in contract negotiations is mental. At one point, he says that’s his assumption. Then later he passes it off as fact. He was also asked specifically what the...

    The learning Spanish is a problem if they always expect the Spanish to speak English. The rest, not so much in my opinion.

    I’d agree to a point. It’s not all about “winning” or “trophies” to me. If it was, I’d support City. There is more to football. But being bottom half with Spurs is an underachievement that is close to inexcusable for me. The problem I find in Ireland, not sure if the UK is the same, is that you...

    I had absolutely no issue with Kane playing and still don’t. I haven’t watched the game back but I don’t recall him being particularly worse than any of our other attacking players in the final. From memory, neither team created a lot so it’s very difficult for centre forwards to shine in that...

    The evidence to date is proving you correct but I thought he was outstanding with Brighton and, at 25m, a steal. He’s flattered to deceive at best under two managers now so you have to question the player. For the first few weeks under Ange, we saw a glimpse of his potential. He’s running out...

    Have just read his fairy story, haven’t seen or heard the podcast. It’s not really plausible is it? 24 years and this is his latest justification for the biggest betrayal in football history. The clam keeps whinging about his treatment and then does an ad making light of the incident and a...

    Won the league and cup in his two seasons. And he finished 5th on 70 points in his second season so hardly an unmitigated disaster. You can't say he doesn't cut it in the PL with his track record. He more than cuts it but for a limited period of time.

    Cannot agree with this at all. Conte won the league. He's an elite football manager, one of the best in the world. The problem with Conte, IMO, is he has a very limited shelf life. By all accounts, he is just too intense and players stop listening after a while. Think Lloris said something like...

    It's a dangerous path IMO and @glasgowspur is correct. If a manager came in and won us the EL, breaking a17 year trophy drought, and we sacked them in the next 12 months, we'd be absolutely slaughtered and our reputation, such as it is, would be in tatters. Chelsea were different to us in many...

    I see the logic in that argument too. But for me, all we are doing is delaying the inevitable and managing the optics if we stick with him. To apply Ange's comments on hindsight last week, it'd be easy to judge at the end of the season when the results are in. In my view, you can see now what...

    I'd agree with you 100%. I'd pull the trigger now. However, with the lack of viable alternatives at this point of the season, I can understand the argument for keeping him until the season ends. I don't agree but it's a fair argument.

    Ange departs

    The latter. And it's more a question for anyone thinking we should keep him beyond this season (if such people exist. I think even Steff and maybe Tommy are resigned to his tenure ending in the next few months). With the lack of alternatives, I can see the logic in giving him the rest of the...

    Do the injuries mean a free pass for the season?

    I lost it at Ramos up at Stoke when we got beat 2-1. He didn't hear me as I was a good distance away but I felt like an utter rooster over it and still cringe. No-one has a right to personally abuse players or managers either at the ground or online. I don't care if you pay y0ur money. Boo by all...

    Fair enough Steff, I'll address a couple of points. I'm not hung up on the second year thing at all. I think he was very naive in what he said but when he elaborated in a press conference, it was clear that he was just answering the question as a matter of fact. I've said many times on here...

    I want a second apology in blood... I actually don't really dislike Ange. He's annoyed me lately by confronting fans and biting at stupid stuff in press conferences but, despite my misgivings about his tactics from early on, I've always liked him, admired his principles and wanted him to...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v The Cottagers ***

    You know what, as a fan, I can't accept that. I never do the "I pay your wages" routine but I invest a lot emotionally and financially in the club like many others. If players think they can just show up and not do the basics, by choice, that's not acceptable. Play brick, that happens. But what...
