    It's not exactly a secret that Viv Lewis disliked Levy - that's been the chatter within the club for a while, and enough so that even Ally Gold picked up on it. If you were a billionaire's kid and wanted to spend your trust fund on whatever you wanted, but were blocked by an over-officious...

    Yes, that definitely plays a part imo. But even if they sold now they'd make 50 to 100 times their initial investment. Remember, they bought in for something like 25m. Beyond that you're in diminishing returns territory where yes, you could double your returns if we get back to where we were...

    Don't tell people about it, thanks. ;)

    My guess is, Viv Lewis hating Levy and deciding she wants a legacy that isn't 'being Joe Lewis's kid'. If she pulls off a Spurs revival, she'll be remembered as the owner that brought us what Joe couldn't. Guessing that might at least partly explain this largesse.

    One thing that has personally surprised me is how highly rated de Zerbi is, within the game. It's not just Tonali and Fernandes (and let's be realistic - they're joining because we're paying them the wages players of their level expect). Even little snippets here and there, like City apparently...

    Yeah, saw a Villa fan steaming that they 'qualified for Europe four seasons in a row and won the Europa, and still aren't allowed to match Spurs for spending'. We qualified for Europe 17 seasons out of 20, mate. And won the Europa. We're so used to Europe that it isn't even notable when we...

    R/TheOther14 is a subreddit dedicated to saddos from the rest of the league who rage about the big six, and in particular, us, because we're the 'least deserving' member of that group. The boiling of tinkle on that subreddit today surpasses the surface of the sun. Really, I urge everyone who...

    This is something we have never, ever done. Act as market makers, not just players. You compete on two levels as a football club - on the pitch, and off it. One of the ways clubs hobble their opponents off the pitch is by acting early to either inflate the market for their competition, or...

    Lucas Bergvall

    Like I said, not like we need the money anyway. We didn't go into this summer planning to sell Bergvall of Vuskovic, it just turned out that way. We have our valuation for clubs other than Forest, and we will hopefully have one for Forest that is 50% higher than the non-Forest one. If no one...

    Not quite. Yes people act in their own interests, yes it's an alpha sport and industry. But both those things mean we have leverage we'd leave on the table if we accepted a reasonable offer from Forest. Fact is, they fudged us over last year, because their owner couldn't stand being seen to...

    Brighton I have little issue with - they want to buy low and sell high, it's their prerogative and there's almost certainly no hard feelings from us towards them for it (nor them towards us). We have a valuation, if they meet it, they're welcome to Vuskovic, and the relations between the clubs...

    Will Lankshear

    None, apart from Marmoush. My point wasn't that we should buy a striker, it's that if we want to give Lankshear a spot, the only safe way is to swap out Richy for Marmoush. Which is unlikely - so my broader position is, don't buy a striker this year. The market's crap anyway. Give it a year...

    Will Lankshear

    Yes and no. The forwards in the PL now were once unproven players from abroad, true. But the luxury of bringing in promising players from abroad is available to teams who can afford for those gambles to fail, as most do. For every forward who makes it here, there's a couple of big money flops...

    Because you're losing 10+ Premier League goals a year in Richy, for a side that finished 17th and an eyelash away from being relegated. The reality is, any moves we do are going to have to be calibrated against the reality that even a slight worsening of the side probably sends us down. We need...

    Will Lankshear

    Needs a big of smart squad management, but in principle we should make that space. Specifically - if we bring in a Prem-proven wing-forward who can deputize up front, then you could sell Richy and give Lankshear a shot in reasonable confidence as Solanke's backup. If it works, great - if it...

    Honestly, brilliant announcement video. Hats off to the young man, and the club for making it a simply human moment.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    True, but with a caveat imo. Him running Arsenal is absolutely irrelevant to me. Kane was in their youth program for a wee bit as a kid, Gallagher's a Chelsea lad, and so on. As long as you're professional and keep your Goon connections to yourself when you're on the clock (and represent the...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Yes. What I'm saying is, Mr. Byrite was hopelessly and quickly outmoded by the sheikhs, gangsters and American new gilded age billionaires that swept in after him. And the club suffered for it - we were running a discount clothing store model, up against nation states for whom haggling over the...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    100%. And it's indicative of the evolution of Prem owners, or former Prem owners. Jordan spends his days being a devil's advocate on talkSPORT, usually where washed up ex-pros go. Alan Sugar rants on Twitter, David Sullivan phones call-ins about West Ham on the regular. This was a class of...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Well, I'll hold off on congratulating the lot currently in charge until the window closes and we can see what the success/failure rate was. But I 100% agree that dear old Dan doesn't seem to realize his approach, and his time, has passed. He's a smart guy, so I doubt he genuinely thinks Spurs...
