Sorry but thats just not right.
The Spurs board did what they had every right to do, and that was to use the money the club had earned - earned, not been given by some foreigner living off the fortune under his feet that his country needs the rest of the world to extract on his behalf,
to buy the players you have worked yourselves into a position to afford is a million percent right
to push up the price of crude oil, to ransom the world so you can spunk money away on a football team thousands of miles from your homeland, is buying a title you don't deserve to have.
particularly because of the corrosive effect that the stewardship of the club has had on British and world football.
It was wrong when Chelski did it, and its wrong now.
Great post.
Buying players then was also tax-deductible so there was every reason why we used our profits to buy players.
