@ASeymour1878 @ToonFan14 I'd be fucking furious if I was you lot.

[Andy S @Delscottio]

@cdunn364 @slbsn You know what, I don't even want to spend that much. I'm more of the opinion their should be a flat salary cap that no club can exceed. Something to level the field as it's a broken model as it is

[Andy S @Delscottio]

@cdunn364 @slbsn Nah we're fucked! Same to you, hope Tonali gets back to the 24/25 form, brilliant.

[Andy S @Delscottio]

@cdunn364 @slbsn No the common issue is clubs who have stepped over the divide have pulled the ladder up. You may make your self feel better by saying spurs did it the right way, but you're still part of the problem. The Chelsea / man city 115 stuff is just the cherry on top!

[Andy S @Delscottio]

@cdunn364 @slbsn Sorry not a city / Chelsea fan. No other industry has these protections, why is football special? I'd guess because you've got an emotional investment? Not really a way to run an industry is it to be fair...

[Andy S @Delscottio]

@cdunn364 Like I say I admire the business plan, and the execution. Problem is not many have access to the London property market, so Spurs aren't really a great blueprint of how to bridge that gap.

[Andy S @Delscottio]

This is the issue with top 6 fans, Spurs in particular. They don't seem to be able to accept their position is protected. Even if it's the correct thing to do (which I don't agree with) they don't seem to understand how loaded the dice is in their favour

[Andy S @Delscottio]

@cdunn364 @slbsn What bit of "I admire" didn't you understand? It's been an incredibly well ran business that's used every advantage (mainly geography). But you must admit you're protected from external investment (ignore if it's the right thing to do for a second)

[Andy S @Delscottio]

@cdunn364 @slbsn Yip agreed. The sad thing is the PL can't see the damage they're doing to their "product". By limiting competition via protectionism and some fairly blatant corruption in this case I fear the UK fan will drift away.

[Andy S @Delscottio]

@razz534988 @slbsn Ridiculous question.

[Andy S @Delscottio]

@cdunn364 @slbsn Why wouldn't it be reasonable? Every other industry in the world has external investment, they're generally called disruptors - you may have heard of a few as they tend to bring innovation to the market. Why do you want protection in sport?

[Andy S @Delscottio]

@cdunn364 It was though. Your geography, how can Everton, nufc, or villa ever access your secondary income streams?

[Andy S @Delscottio]

@cdunn364 @slbsn 2/2. While you can rightly feel aggrieved, now image Everton who've been deducted points compared to say spurs who are rightly are wrongly protected and able to spend vast sums. The whole thing is broken

[Andy S @Delscottio]

@cdunn364 @slbsn Yeah I agree, I just think it affects other much much more than those who've built a historical support, had access to the London real estate market and the funding opportunities that brings. Most clubs don't have those levers 1/2

[Andy S @Delscottio]

@cdunn364 @slbsn Chris, simple question. Is your position protected? Ignore how you've ballsed up the advantage, how you got the advantage. Is your position protected from external investment?

[Andy S @Delscottio]

@cdunn364 @slbsn What bit of "I admire" didn't you understand? It's been an incredibly well ran business that's used every advantage (mainly geography). But you must admit you're protected from external investment (ignore if it's the right thing to do for a second)

[Andy S @Delscottio]

@cdunn364 @slbsn I admire how spurs have leveraged their geography to build income, but if you don't think you're in a protected position against external investment taking your place (like every other industry in the world) I'm not sure it's worth continuing the discussion.

@razz534988 @slbsn Befuckinghave

[Andy S @Delscottio]

@cdunn364 @slbsn TBF Spurs are a funny case. No one really cares that much, apart from their fans obviously. You've been a "banter" club for that long that even with every protection offered you've still ballsed it up in the main. I respect that to be honest. Reminds me of nufc...

[Andy S @Delscottio]

@slbsn I'm sure man city fans do. To others it looks ridiculously like wanting to kick it into the long grass.
