All academic chat from my view. Why would he come here? Even if Spurs did wish to eject him there would be more lucrative options.

It just proved that clubs of our stature cannot break into the very top of the English game without crazy levels of investment.... And even then FFP is there to stop that. Football now exists to further the bigger clubs. We have our place, should we get ideas above it again we shall be slapped down once more.

I was new born at the time. Just saying. ​Sorry oldies..... Everyone's time comes at some point, especially the young....
