Spurs

[Scaramanga]

where the **** do they keep getting all this cash from? FFS they've spent an absolute mint over the past 10 years and won feck all yet they still carry on spending.

Was very briefly chatting to a spurs fan the other day who mentioned something about their owners transferring funds away from Rusky clubs so that they go bust. Does anyone with half a brain (ie not this spurs fan!) know enough to explain whats going on and whether or not they will become the next Leeds?

fair play to them for paying over the odds on british players. They have a reasonable squad now and play on occassions some decent football. Just a shame I dislike them in everyway. Always have and always will. I can't imagine what it'd be like if they were successful, their fans are ****s.

deluded bunch of fans, every new player is the next Hoddle/Gazza/Linekar/Greeves etc etc.

As from where they get the money from? dunno, they dont really sell much off so must be investment from ENIC or somewhere like that.

The ENIC group are absolutely minted.

You raise some interesting questions.

Off the top of my head (which is fairly flat these days), some of their recent acquisitions have been:
Berbatov - £10m
Zakora - £10m
Bent - £16.5m
Reid & Dawson - £8m
Robinson - £1.5m
Keane - £7m
Defoe - £7m
Jenas - £9m

and that's all that i can remember....
