Because the rules are based on income, and Tottenham are postcode lottery winners.

Why are Spurs being allowed to spend so much?!

Because they have massive revenues. Plus they will likely raise a load of money from player sales this summer also.

I think we're a bit in danger of overcorrecting from the self-pity of the Villanfluencers here, and a touch close to that knowing and world-weary guy in the pub who responds to anyone showing distress about anything (corruption, genocide etc) with an indulgent smile and a not unsmug 'well, what do you expect?'.

I do know that the world is usually unfair and bad and whatnot. I'm also perfectly allowed to be annoyed about it!

Speaking only for myself, all I ask is that people be annoyed in creative, original ways rather than sounding like late-stage Morrissey talking about multiculturalism.

That's fair.

There is no sexy future for passive-aggressive men.

[Goldenballs]

Is that a Morrisey song?

[cdbearsfan]

I don't care about cycling, so I rarely bother looking at the cycling thread.

[Sexual Ealing]

You have no sexy future.

And massive fucking debs as well! As long as they can cover the credit card minimum payments they can carry on spending. What a fucking shitshow.

What difference does this make?

That's my wife you're talking about.

I just want us to act like the 16th most valuable club in the world, with the 14th highest revenue, and virtually no debt to service. I want us to scout, acquire and coach 25 of the best footballers in the world to play good football, which is all anybody else can do. I don’t want to spend time saying it’s impossible, and it’s not fair, and never contemplating possible solutions to financial barriers. Anybody is free to keep thinking that, but thankfully it appears that our owners don’t think that way, and I’m with them.

I have lived through eras of Liverpool dominance, then an era when Man Utd & Arsenal made the PL look like the SPL, then being told by all and sundry that the top 4 was permanent and eternal. Now it’s apparently impossible to challenge the big 6 even when we’ve finished fourth and won a European trophy. We only need it to be the big 7 and we can start adding our weight to pulling up the drawbridge ourselves.

I don’t think there’s anything in the rules to stop us borrowing a billion quid to build (or rebuild) a stadium and turn it into a year-round revenue-raising machine.
