Good summary. The bottom line is that they are unwilling or simply cannot afford to pay the going rate for our desirable players anymore, and that's that. Levy's attempts at sharp practice, make Spurs look cheap and they are. Of course they are 'bigger' than us, with a more impressive history, but we are also amongst the top 20-25 clubs worldwide in terms of revenue, so to refer to us as a 'little club' is more than patronising, it's idiotic. As last season, the best thing for football would be for one or two of the well-supported provincial clubs like ourselves, Stoke, or Swansea to replace Spurs or Liverpool in the top six - best for football and good for the soul!
