http://www.getfootballnewsfrance.co...ttino-i-would-like-him-to-communicate-better/ Well Sissoko, we'd like you to play better, but you can't always get what you want, eh? (To think I was one of the few who actually thought he might do a decent job for us. )
No. The wage structure appears to be meritocratic, and sustainable based on whatever the clubs' current revenues/expenditures are. You cannot rob Peter to pay Paul (although I will make an exception for the Peter Adebayors of this world) , nor get into debt on wage bills (remember Blackburn and Leeds) .
You'd think so in an ideal scenario. Imagine it...he decides to pump the Spurs with endless amounts of money. We would be winning trophies without a doubt. I've thought that many times too. Would he not make his money back with continuous CL qualification and positive publicity for the Club? Bigger sponsors etc... All he needs to do is sell a few yachts. He can only be in one at a time anyway. However I think he doesn't see it as a passion more a very well ran business, unfortunately
Is that option there now with the various FFP regimes in place ?? I suspect the opportunity has long gone (and this may be the season that we really need such money) .
I'm sure there'd be plenty of Newcastle fans would disagree with this. It could, in fact, be argued that by playing less games he's had a better season
I'm pretty sure that investments to build stadia are exempt from the FFP restrictions. If there was a time to increase capital investment in the club to ease the burden of debt from the build, it's now. Unfortunately, I don't see it happening. What is ENIC's end game?
Sissoko says he is unhappy with Poch's communication skills. Is this because Poch kept forgetting that Sissoko was at the club?
Perhaps ENIC are investing some money into new WHL. Possible that major lenders have insisted so, as part of loan deals. The end game ?? The urban myth was that if Uncle Joe is guaranteed a minimum 500m profit if THFC is sold, then he is done.
How dense do you have to be to fail to understand: "**** off somewhere else. Only Levy thought signing you was a good idea."
With Cashley and Levy involved, I am certain that Sissoko got a nominal signing-on fee + zero hours contract.
A number of different sources - which is basically a number of journos ripping off another journo - are saying we're favourites to land young Ryan Sessegnon. Excellent signing if so, not sure if he'd be joining instantly or staying with Fulham, I'd hope for the latter as there's no real need nor space for him just yet and to get a full season under his belt would be ideal for him, certainly done Alli the world of good to stay with MK for a while.
We're likely very, very expensive to buy at the moment. New training ground, new stadium round the corner and a young, quality and marketable squad. There were figures banded about earlier in the season that showed we have the second or third most valuable squad in world football.
Currently not enough on-pitch success to attract a proper financial party. Which leaves being the vanity project of a Sugga Daddy.
For the simple reason we're not in the same position Chelsea or City were in when their sugar daddies came in. Chelsea were so broke they were getting so desperate to cut costs they were resorting to measures such as using plastic cutlery in the club canteen and telling players to not swap shirts as a result of spending way beyond their means in the latter part of the Ken Bates era so there was no room to negotiate when Abramovich popped up, and similarly City were a middling club with middling finances who had just paid for a new stadium initially bought with public money so they too had little grounds to negotiate when Shinawatra and his chequebook arrived - and when Shinawatra's assets were frozen the Abu Dhabi United Group swooped in also with a strong bargaining position. Even the Glazer's takeover of Man Utd did so from a strong position, mainly because they saddled the club with a pornographic level of debt in order to finance their takeover. Those three clubs all had the potential for a high RoI for various reasons, but the same can't be said for us because the only way that anyone's going to be getting the club for a bargain price is if they saddle the club with £600m+ worth of debt like Glazer did with Man Utd, and something tells me that won't be allowed by either Lewis or Levy.
I think the loan back "land grab" signing method is a good way to go for Spurs. It puts less pressure on the player to step up, and it creates goodwill with the selling club. On the latter, I would also try and get some Academy loans in at the same time.
