Spurs Are a Mid-table Team This Season

When you look to what Spurs have stood for in the last decade, it is that their rise and now their ultimate fall will lie at the source of what many have come to think "makes" a football team.

Spurs have no money to spend on transfers this summer. Levy and Redknapp made this clear towards the back end of last season when everything was going well, because these comments would fly under the radar. The comment all football fans loathe to hear "sell before we buy" is the knockings of a team tackling the mire that is mid-table anonymity.

Zokora was the first to go, for what fans believe was £8.5m, but us die-hards £6m plus bonus related clauses. £6m will buy another Tom Huddlestone, not a Modric, or a Defoe that would change our course for this season.

We spent our summer money in the January transfer window to "save our season" and it seems that the premium month of January will become Spurs' "saviour" unless we take a chance.

Daniel Levy is an accountant by trade, brought up with slick and well-known contacts, but these contacts who ultimately became investors had all their money in banks and lost a fortune.

Those people who put their money in Levy, no longer want to invest to yield a return, they want a return from what they initially invested. The sad factor that our new stadium will limit our potential transfers will mean that all Spurs fans will look back to West Ham away and the "Food" incident with distress and regret.

We lost a decade of potential a few years ago—and now we look again to the mire of anonymity, except the people behind the club gain money and the club and us the fans nothing.
