Sour Mash

You know that for a fact? What is the definition of a big transaction? We enter into a £15m contract for the training ground, get hit with variations, extension of time etc by the contractor to take the costs up to £30m, KL would have no choice but to make sure the £30m is covered, too late by then.

No-one is suggesting that we'd be better off if 5 key players and the manager left. Just that it's not the end of the world and all the fault of a terrible board if one or maybe even two key players are sold for big money.

So they improved after selling their star teenage player?

Yeah, annually. So, they could have got the reports, not been happy with them and tried to implement greater control of NC which he wasn't happy with and walked?

The rest of them weren't on the board though.

You're thinking of having a bet on us to go down

Most of the managers and players of the Premier League use English as the 2nd language, what great controversy are caused by words being twisted every week? You're more likely to have miscommunication through a mistranslation of something.

I missed the interview, but this does sound interesting, what was said about the board breaking their promises to MP?

Fair enough, seems a bit pointless doing it every week if his English is fine though.

No, I'm not trying to simplify the issue, it has many facets, I was just asking for clarification on his position, as it seemed unclear. Immigration clearly has had a negative effect on sections of this country's population, I was just establishing that fact.

Are you still upset about me laughing at your post earlier? Dry your eyes.

You know all of that has happened? No, didn't think so.

What is the answer? I must have missed it.

If MP gets an offer and decides to go, why would that be such a huge failure from the board. They obviously want to keep him, it'd be his choice to leave.

Why does he still use a translator?

Who has asked for immigration to be answered as a yes or no answer? What does that even mean? Simple minds indeed

It's a fair point. Yes, signings are harder to get right from abroad, but there does look to be a bit of a question mark over some of our decisions for signings from other countries. Is it a scouting issue? Or a lack of understanding from those on the committee?

How much would MP cost Spurs? Just a case of payin out his last year of contract, so whatever value that is?

An outstanding scouting network I guess. But I do think they're the sort of club we should be really looking at, studying and trying to copy.

It is the crux of all this. Anyone know how Atletico Madrid have been able to consistently sell their best players and still achieve what they have?

I like Hodgson and he's usually quite tactful with his comments, but that is poor form from him.

No it doesn't.

Ramirez's faults have been a bit more than the 'form of Lallana'. He's been disappointing for us in his 2 years here.

It looks like people are still misunderstanding the original point. Why do sold out games not get near our capacity amount?
