long enough to sort what problems out? :~
last season we had a great team, which he helped build with the managers/Dof of the past X amount of seasons - there were no 'problems' until last summer.

Not smart though is it?
Loic Remy's transfer to Marseille got held up because they found a heart defect.

Strikers- unless you think ours are good enough
No cover for Lennon or Bale- been a problem for years
If the alternative for them was to sign nobody it's probably worth a shot.
again, long enough - i don't understand
last summer we signed Adebayor on a permanent deal, a player who the season previous had been instrumental in our sides attacking play and our top goal scorer. we tried to get in a 3rd, but couldn't get our primary option so brought in Dempsey (17 league goals) as a sort of stop gap.
the season prior we had plenty of attacking options (Defoe & Pav making 3 for one position Saha replacing Pav in Jan)
the striker problem has only been around since Adebayors goal scoring form has been non existent
cover for Lennon and Bale has been required for some time now though i agree. but come on, hardly crime of the century is it

We obviously won't agree, nothing new there :lol:
oh well i guess that's that then.
multi billionaire Joe Lewis is so desperate for money that he'd instruct Levy to buy cheap players (with the Clubs money)
do people even think this gonads out before they type it :ross:

That doesn't make any sense.
Joe Lewis may love money, but it makes no sense for spurs not to spend money they have. Joe Lewis made an investment, the only way he will make significant profits from that investment is if the club becomes far more successful and he can sell it on to somebody else.

Yawn. Whens the last time Lewis put money into the club or took it out?

So before that Lewis was pumping money into the club every year?
Or he's now taking a payout from the club?
But AVBs entire reputation, the very reason he is managing at this level has absolutely nothing to do with building teams. He came in a made an impact at both the clubs he was at in Portugal. He was very much the head coach there, as he is here. We haven't recruited him to build, but to coach. There is no way we'd hjave bought the players we bought in the summer, if we wanted AVB to "build" as such. We are now completely like most European clubs. The coach is there to coach. They come and go, but the club continues to build regardless.
Also Redknapp did have an instant impact and did takeover a team bottom of the league. You can't compare where he started from to where AVB started. If AVB was to have a similar impact, we'd challenge for the league title this season. But, as I said before, we should forget the Redknapp comparisons. AVB should be judged on the job he's done. Lets' say for arguments sake, he isn't as good as Redknapp, then it sill doesn't mean he isn't an asset or hasn't done a good job. If we sacked AVB there is little chance we'd improve on him. The coach can only have so much of an impact. They key to our success is building a better squad and general infrastructure and the coach, be it AVB or Glenn Roeder, wont be a massive influence in that. I genuinely don't think AVB pin pointed a single signing in the summer and I expect the same to be true this year as well.
For example, he'll be looking for more creativity in midfield and we all know his choice will be Moutinho. That will put Moutinho on our list of targets, but I'm sure he'll be behind the likes of Erikson in terms of the clubs priority. Coaching staff just change far too quickly to invest too much in any vision they might have. Lets be honest, if you fail it's easy to get sacked by Levy and if you succeed it's easy for Madrid, Barca or whoever else to poach.
In 2009 ENIC put close to £30 million into the club through a share issue. Dividends are hardly ever paid out.

Where in Holland are you from? Very interested to know mate...how long have you been there? Are you living in the UK? Who's your favorite Dutch team?

How the fudge does he he manage to take money out of the club?
There has been one dividend payout since 1998.

He doesn't take money out, he just stops it from being spent. A business with a £150m turnover and modest wage bill can't afford to do anything other than break even. What a joke. Instead of spending £75m on his yacht, he could've invested that money into the team and earnt it back again within a couple of years.
the club spends it's own money and hasn't ever relied on hand outs from the owner - the owner doesn't take money out of the club (judging by previous posts from others) so how is he stopping us from spending money?
