If Spurs tried to circumvent the rules and make us an unofficial B team by loaning us players and letting us sign players with a cheap buyback clause then you can be sure the FA/FL would punish us and not Spurs.
This shit, right here. FA won't bother going through the whole lengthy and expensive court battle that putting Spurs under scrutiny for circumventing the rules, they'll just punish us because we're an easy target. This is why football is fucked. The little clubs get shat on, made examples of, and the big clubs get away with stuff that would get others demoted divisons. |

Not got a clue as to the rules, but how would that scenario be different to what Watford did last season?

Official or unofficial, the club could go fuck themselves. Under the current rules, we can't be the 1st one. Lets see what develops over the next week or so but we are in danger of becoming the second one. I'm Town, end of.
What do you mean becoming the 2nd one |

The thing that worries me the most is the potential loss of dignity of our little old club.
....cultivated over years of floodlight failures, betting scandals, illegal payments, shafted creditors, administrations, fascists and child killers but - let it be said - never, never any paedos |

Do u reckon Peterborough fans kicked off saying they were becoming man utd b team when ferguson gave them players? Haven't Yeovil took spurs players for years? People on our board have contacts with a premiership club. Move on

In my 40+ years of watching Town I've not known of us getting 5 players from 1 club in 1 season - and possibly still counting. |

If the loans are good then I don't really give a fuck where they've come from.
3 current and 1 former spurs player in our starting 11 is hardly the worst.

Did you complain when we got Ferry, Caddis, Cuthbert and Hutchinson from Celtic? |

Was there as much hysteria when Fitton announced we had official relationships with Man City, and a less official (it might have been official?) one with Celtic? Did we not have a bunch of Celtic loanees and perm signings in the same squad at one point? I know the Man City one has to be one of the worst official links ever, but everyone seemed happy with the professional approach being taken by Fitton and the potential it gave us - or maybe my memory is getting worse.
In fact, the new board seem to be using the Fitton Guide to Being a Football Club Chairman right now:
Find new revenue streams
Invest in youth talent with future resale value
Keep costs under control
Use links with other clubs higher up the leagues to supplement point 2
Get less outgoing thoughtful and coach driven Managers in place
The big difference seems to be the starting point. Fitton's approach seemed like a breath of fresh air following the Diamandis reign of terror. Jed's approach seems like austerity gone mad in a way Osbourne would cherish in light of what went before with Wray and PDC. As much as I disagree with a lot of what Reg may state, I do agree that the approach his full of risk right now because it is a dramatic change and having the Manager walk out is a big spanner in the works.

He did say 5. 4 is palatable, 5 is indigestible |

I certainly complained about Hutchinson and I gave Cuthbert a right bitching last season at Orient. Its a good point but we had signed other players from other clubs. I know we've signed Smith from Fulham but it all seems a bit insestuous to me and I don't think we're finished yet.

Oh, and didn't Reg coin the Happy Clapper thing for me back in 2005? If so, fuck off all you other pretenders. If not, I have ego issues.

Indeed Perhaps that extra 1 makes all the difference? |
