I think they were looking to rake in a lot of that money with the NFL partnership by hosting Seattle Seahawks games at their stadium for next 10 years. Covid has properly screwed them over by not having fans there, for football or NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have some anticipated funds tied up against this much debt, and they have to get need CL surely? It wouldn't be surprising. It cost half a ****ing billion. It was always going to be a risky investment, betting heavily on being able to continue the trend in rise in profile of the club and to use the fact its a beautiful, luxury stadium in a leading city to generate as much revenue as possible form non-Tottenham Hotspur events. Covid has absolutely hammered that, they've lost the NFL, lost any potential concerts, boxing matches, whatever the fvck else they were hoping for. They've never been the wealthiest club in the world, the success they did have wasn't built off injections from a billionaire it was well managed reinvestment of Bale and Champions League money. I mean, they don't have Arsenal's commercial revenue and Arsenal were hit hard for years after building the Emirates. I was surprised when they coughed up for Ndombele if I'm honest, I thought the stadium would kill any real investment in the playing staff. But I'll be really surprised if they don't now seriously cut back in transfer funds over the next couple windows. I can see them cashing in on Kane and Son and then the dream is basically over. They're back to same old mid table Spurs. Then the stadium becomes an even bigger white elephant. Edited 17 February 2021 by Finnegan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bear Posted 17 February 2021 Share Posted 17 February 2021 Not having any events at the stadium has killed them really. They're gonna struggle to make it all back in any kind of time scale now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounded like they may have been banking on future League and CL money as part of their growth strategy. I am sure they could offset these debts against even longer term debts, but it will get to a point where all income is close to be accounted for in advance you would suspect. The rumours of Spurs (Levy) also wanting Rodgers should Jose not get them into the CL or at least EL are also questionable due to payoffs required to both Jose (35m) and releasing Brendan from his contract and salary.

Corky Posted 17 February 2021 Share Posted 17 February 2021 8 hours ago, Rusko187 said: Good for him, I think other refs need a bit of backbone. I'm a critic of referees (more to do with the way they operate like Mike Dean and Jon Moss) but the reception they receive is disgraceful. Players running up and confronting them, abusing them, managers blaming them for results and even seasons not going well. We had a good laugh in Braga with Schmeichel loudly chastising the ref but it was ridiculous to hear a player be so ugly and incessant in his language towards an official. An old cliche but they are human beings, human beings who will always upset half the participants. So he gave a bit back? Big deal. The players probably said and did far worse.

Paul Lambert's comments mention players keeping their emotions in check so the fact he thinks players do that, shows the treatment refs get is ridiculous. As you've pointed out, Mike Dean deserves no respect, but if a player confronts the ref he needs to be booked. I'll allow for the emotion immediately after a decision so if they swear you let it go, but if they still do they after being warned, dish out the cards. Would soon stop it.

StriderHiryu Posted 17 February 2021 Share Posted 17 February 2021 Think this deserves to go here, it's the way clubs are allocated into Europe next season. Bit hard to follow, but if this was applied this season, we'd have played one game less I believe, as Europa group winners are guaranteed to miss Champions League 3rd place teams. The biggest change is finishing 3rd in the Europa qualifies you for a super mickey mouse European which every Premier League team will be trying to crash out of at the first available opportunity. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
