It’s crazy what Spurs spending money is doing to people…
Chelsea sold their women’s team to themselves for £200m. No complaints.
Aston Villa sold a supporters’ bar not worth more than £7m to a sister company for £55m. No issue.
Villa breaks rules it, along with other PL clubs set, by spending more than 90 per cent of its turnover on wages. That can kill clubs. Not a problem.
And isn’t it amusing that between 2019 and May 2026 it was never an issue, but it is now when Spurs decide to spend.
League position obviously has no impact on what a club can spend. Truly bizarre.
Ange was right, Spurs does crazy things to people.
🚨 Amadou Onana set for spell on sidelines after suffering ACL rupture in #Belgium win over #USMNT at #FIFAWorldCup. Huge blow for 24yo midfielder, national team & Aston Villa. #AVFC did not plan to recruit in that area but will now reassess @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/ifZiTZYRi9
@AV7689983427 Matt, I honestly don’t get it. Every Villa fan I ever met in the past I’ve always got on with. Do you think it’s just what happens on twitter, or do you think there has been a big shift in sentiment within the fanbase?
@itz_just_ez@SussexTottenham So when you said “never to win the league” you meant, never in the last 20 years… And that’s my fault for not understanding what you meant? 😂👍
In case some on X are too young to remember, Newcastle spent a world record £15m on Alan Shearer in 1996.
A record that held for 4 years.
In today's money, its estimated at over £200m.
Spurs top signing that summer was Ramon Vega for £3.75m.
United won the league in 96/97. They signed Solskjaer for £1.5m and Johnsen for £1.2m that summer.
@AVFCchats Qualify for Europe for several seasons in a row without any net spend and reinvest all your excess revenue into growing new revenue streams. Brutally hard and unfair. Spurs only club to manage it and get close to the evil big 5.
•Spurs get into UCL by winning Europa:
"The rules need changing!🤬"
•Villa rotates v Spurs ahead of semi-final:
"The rules need changing!🤬"
•Spurs spend their own money on players:
"The rules need changing!🤬"
@gunnerking_14 Bravo mate 👊
Villa fans acting like that mate who spent his holiday money on the 1st night, now watching his mates eating steak. “It’s not fair I’ve only got a bowl of chips!”
Bro, you had steak for breakfast lunch and dinner yesterday!
