I read this and I’m thinking, hmm I wonder where we would be right now with all that money, but then I think… Chelsea haven’t been clever at all with signings or managers and thats all down to Roman sacks managers because they didn’t win CL.. signs 50mil flops, no I’m glad we never picked up that phone, we are old skool and I’m proud of that..!

The fact that this did not materialise pleases many a Spurs fans. Spurs are doing well on their own without being bankrolled. We have a team that can match any.High spending clubs will not deter us, as we have managed our club in an affordable way without compromising our performance.

10/10 for the guy who didn’t pick up the phone – & just for the record – Spurs were in much better financial shape than Chelsea, who were on the verge of bankruptcy!

I don’t think he (Uncle Buck) meant that Spurs were in difficulty, I’m certain he referred to Chelsea, who were on the verge of collapse, under Santa Bates’ who’s inflated ego and insistence that Chelsea were a big club and were going to be the Man Utd of the South backfired in spectacular fashion, yeah of course they were. As is cclearly evident, without the Rubles, Chelsea are tiny-weeney compared to either of North London’s heavyweights, why else would Roman want us? Stll, he got the bridesmaid

agreed, Spurs haven’t been in financial trouble since about 1991. Bruce Buck is talking rubbish.
ENIC didn’t want to sell to Roman, I guess he wasn’t going to offer enough.
funny that Spurs were his first choice, Chels were the wooden spoon.

Pity. Say what you want about Chelsea but I’d live to see Spurs win the league – just once – on my lifetime. Wasn’t born in ’61, and it’s highy unlikely we’ll be able to construct a team capable of winning the league without a billionaire owner like Abramovitch.
Chelsea may be Russian whores, and he nay get bored and fuck off, but at least Chelsea supporters have seen their team win league titles – that’s probably more than most of us will ever see.

I’ve read this before too – the odd part about this quote is he said ‘both of them were in financial trouble’. I thought he was looking at the investment after Sugar had already balanced the books at spurs?
