Thought it was quite telling yesterday that most in the Shed and MH stayed to listen to JT but the vast majority of West Stand had already left.

With our success in recent years, we're always going to attract the wrong sort of fans, the type that don't have the passion others do, add to that the mass of tourists who come to the Bridge now.

 
His instagram now says it's been a tough year but 'we will bounce back next year'

Take from that what you will

The tourist sitting next to me (in MHL) had a disturbing habit of blowing (not just wiping) his nose on his half-and-half scarf.  Weirdo.

Disgusting!!!  Maybe that's all half and half scarves are good for!  Did you notice which half he blew on?

 
Is there any indication this is a "take it or leave it" offer rather than an intentionally low offer given with the expectation that the other side will negotiate it upward?

 
60k a week and back up a role. At somepoint, JT has to allow the club to move forward and progress. He's still a good defender but the truth is, we need his leadership skills more than his playing abilities.

JT, like Giggs, Scholes etc - time comes for all of them. Both the club and JT need to manage the transition carefully and considerately.

 
60k for a backup role is a good enough deal. if i'm not mistaken Azpi's salary is not far from that number

Sounds like a very reasonable offer if the reports are correct (a major if). I'll be disappointed in JT if he thinks this is below him.

I'm not sure whether any of this report is credible but it suggests JT would be turning down millions to stay with us in London.

Who knows how comfortable JT is financially? You would suspect he is VERY comfortable and some but then footballers (and their wives) do lead very high-cost lifestyles.

For me personally, I couldn't face living in China, whatever the rewards and although I don't know JT, I don't think I could see him in China. So unless he's been a bit too extravagant with his lifestyle and is down to his last few million, I can see him staying.

I don't think JT would be living the Chinese lifestyle that you or I would be - China is a fantastic place if you have plenty of money... most places are! 

 
Still I'd rather it be the US than China.

The crowds and stadiums in China are in large a bit 'meh'.

I saw Ramires score a goal and it looked like he was playing down the local park with jumpers for goalposts

Well apparently he made a profit of 10 mill when he sold his house in 2014

Not to be sniffed at!

I played football with a guy who was doing some work for JT on that house (said he would get my son a signed photo but it never materialised!). When he then decided to sell it the rumours were he needed to sell to pay off debts but that's probably just tabloid talk. 

Summary: He can't be short of a few bob.

 
You would think he'd have a fair bit by now.

He earns or did earn over £8 million a season before the various bonuses and sponsorships.

I can't see it being money driven, then again who knows.
