I hope we NEVER agree to business with Spurs again

As he's entitled to do, Levy is playing our perceived desperation, longing it out, and as Wilder has said "We won't be bullied". Good. Not only do I agree with the OP that it is to be hoped we never do business with Spurs again, I sincerely hope we don't now either, as much to deny Spence his dream move as to stick it to Levy. So what if we can't sign players and only have an average season - we're used to it after all. And if we do go up we'll only ever be also-rans at best, let's face it, and more than likely we'd go straight back down as we often have. To follow a club the stature of Boro in the modern plutocratic world is to be vividly aware of one's place in the pecking order. I'd rather be owned by a Boro lad with integrity (we'll overlook his flirtation with the Tories) who donates our FA Cup tie money to Ukraine on a whim, than owned by an individual who clearly see himself on some sort of Big d*ck dealmaker of the Logan Roy ilk who loves to make the other (weaker) guy squirm.

And I'd DEFINITELY rather be owned by the likes of Gibson than be celebrating ownership of the sportswashing Saudis, The word 'integrity' has been bandied around in the past few days, often by people who wouldn't recognise it if it slapped them in the face like a wet haddock. But integrity is what has largely defined Gibson's tenure and I hope he gives Levy a firm deadline to cough up the required amount, and if he doesn't then move on.

It's hardly going to upset Levy. Its us who clearly need the monies and the reason everything is on hold. If the "we won't be bullied" thing really is a reason, it seems we are just hurting ourselves. Do we yet know of any other offers from any other club?

So you would be happy as a Boro fan if we didn’t negotiate over fees for potential players and just paid whatever the selling club wanted just to get a quick deal?

Yeah I'd be delighted. That is exactly the point I am making 🙄

p.s.
Are you on a wind up or just very very thick?

Thank **** you aren’t running things then, the club would be skint within the first week
 
That is what I signed after we landed Mido for 6m. 6m for a billy big time who spurs would have loaned us.
 
I don't think badly of spurs for this at all.
They want to pay as little as possible and are prepared to wait or go elsewhere.
I don't think Neil Warnock's "could end up in non league" comments have helped
If only we had a common sense spurs approach when Garry Monk was here.
But I applaud Boro for not repeating past mistakes.
We are now trying to get as much as we can from the transfer market.
It means deals take longer and some will fall through.
But it also means a sustainable club with more chance of long term success
In my view anyway.
 
Moments like this define how other clubs treat you regarding transfers in the future. Gibson sent a message out to english football in the way he handled the derby cheating saga when no-one else including the efl spoke up.
We're a fair club and open for business but don't try and take the pish or hold us to ransom.
