So, because one person appears to get away with it it's ok? I suppose it's alright for anyone to do it now then.
i know there shouldn't be, but couldn't there be a case for ones a player one is a manager, so manager should know better and lead by example? but this is someone who thinks eye gouging is acceptable, so do the authorities apparently.
I would say not. Kane would get 100 million and the likes of Alli, Erickson, Rose and both centre backs would generate huge money. If they did sell them, Poch would leave and they would be in free fall but they would have enough funds to recover.
cl qualification for spurs would seem a must just to keep them going on the "up" if they get through at with arsenal in league cup there is city and Chelsea to come so that comp is going to start eating into their bandwidth I wonder if they will try get 4th in cl group now by accidentally losing to psv to ensure they are not in Europa.... though.... I think it might be the route they need to have in the back pocket. I just hope our form continues and we are well up there on 80-85+ points and in a title race not looking at arsenal and spurs.
Depends how the money is spent. They didn't spend the bale money too well and clubs know when you have cash to spend. Also would they still be appealing to players if they sold their higher profile players.
it is interesting that spurs success didn't come from the splurge but from years or quiet building. if they got stripped and had 200mil I'm not sure they would know what to do with it.
I agree. It's not enough to have money, you have to have a plan to go with it. Mega money does allow you to just go out and buy the best, but £200m isn't mega money any more.
yeah an example is walker and trippier. spurs never even missed a beat. they were ready for walker going and the same can be said of rose who is now up **** creek. they simply don't have a plan for losing kane or eriksen. it's not like lfc had a plan to lose coutinho or Suarez. top top players, especially forwards are hard to get. 230 odd mil extra borrowed to fix a disastrous stadium build is a serious situation. lfc are avoiding 70mil which is prob more like 120mil on Anfield road end.. preferring to sink 50mil on it kirkby which will never directly pay like Anfield road will. all we can say is maybe we bought the players we did this summer on not building. maybe when we did main stand out zero net spend was more a result of that. but back in spurs.... thier next two transfer windows will tell
I presume FSG didn't want to get into too much debt by ploughing everything into the stadium. Obviously that needs to be done, but perhaps their staggered approach is the wisest in the long run if it means we still have enough money to buy the players we need. Over-extending on the stadium ruined Arsenal, it could possibly do the same to Spurs. Success on the pitch is the most important thing, everything else derives from that.
This is true. I know some Everton fans who think that a new stadium will somehow rocket them to top 4 whilst attracting the world's best players along the way. As your insight rightly suggests, success on the pitch will get a club noticed far more than a multi million pound stadium even if that stadium is the most innovative in design and in a great location.
It will raise the profile of the club and help attract a better quality of players no doubt. Generate additional revenue from events outside of football and make cash for Moshiri to put some back in also. Will it rocket us into top four, no, but it won’t hurt.
Fat Joe must feel like a right mug Supported Moshiri at every step and then the #fraud backpedals on putting money into council services The main function of the stadium will be to get the council to pay for infrastructure that Moshri's new housing development will exploit
yes. in the end 120mil to get us "close" to other teams was just enough to not strain us with klopps style. far are actually on record as saying the case for 58 or 59k for 75mil is not good. I expect them to finally announce something in the next year or so on Anfield road end but they just don't see 5k more fans are going to earn us money to compete with Utd or city. I would however like to see the fans having something when this era of gross waste of money. such money sloshing round and out into agents pockets needs to be balanced by having something for those who actually count and pay for it. for me it's actually a shame spurs have done this to themselves. they've clearly not managed the project properly or abdicated management of it to incompetents. leaving rivalry aside it was to be a grand new stadium on a historic site and still will be which is more than the Emirates is.
No wum intended, but as I said earlier - success on the pitch is the crucial thing. A posh new stadium doesn't guarantee that at all. The only things to attract players are money and/or the prestige of winning trophies. I doubt that the playing environment is that high on their agenda. A nice stadium is understandably more of an attraction to the fans. It might attract some inward corporate investment, but in the era of £50m plus for any big name player can it make enough of a difference?
imo it doesn't. wages and agents pockets filled is what bring players. I'm still not sure how Everton think they can afford it as spurs at least have cl etc in their favour right now and it looks scary for them.
New stadiums don't always guarantee new success. Wigan, Blackburn, Bolton, Stoke, Derby County all former Prem clubs that had sparkly new stadiums but couldn't hack it in the top league.
tbh, long term wise this is the right move for the spuds provided they maintain their standards. It will bring in far more money in the long term (levy has a business plan to rent it for american footie) and if they get to spend an extra 40m a year or whathever it pulls then it is worth it in the long term. This is totally different to the above clubs because they probably weren't/aren't close to selling out their stadium at all whereas the current spurs side has a huge fanbase and being in london helps where theres plenty of tourists. The only issue will be if they don't make the champs league and cannot repay the loan or they become so bad they lose their fan base/get relegated. The biggest thing for me though is that they currently have one of the best managers in recent history (for them) and their team aren't going to keep hanging around if they don't win things and show no ambition and they might not have a better chance than now to win the league.
