    Wonder if this still goes ahead?
    https://www.bbc.com/sport/africa/64512525
    Long story short for anyone not arsed to read:
    South African Tourism want to invest £42.5m in a three year shirt sleeve sponsorship with us.
    South African's are pissed because they feel the money could be used elsewhere as there's economic hardship in the country at present.
    SAT claim the investment would bring in over £4bn from tourism.

    The acting CEO of SAT is called Themba Khumalo.

    I know I've said this before but I love Cirkin. He was made for the NE, one of the bravest players I've ever seen. He's had a few injuries, but always impact injuries through sticking his limbs in places most wouldn't. He was knocked spark out today scoring the equaliser, at Millwall.

    He's alright, now :emoticon-0152-heart

    He's coming back, bro.

    Fee agreed, our website just confirmed it. You're getting Sessegnon in return.

    <yikes>

    Cirkin has had a head injury, he doesn't know what he's agreed to <laugh>

    Seriously though, what a tough defender. He's great going forward, too. Scores and assists.

    I can remember you saying you'd rather hold onto him. I can see why...

    Thought I'd try giving you a little scare, lol.

    Happy to see him doing well though, good bloke as well as a good player, doing his late Dad proud.

    Just found this. It's the punch that levelled Cirkin.

    You have to see the fine details on the numbers
    (over how many years would that 4bn be received,
    how many years after the Nth payment would the
    first revenues be evident - and how much etc) .

    I would have thought that Spurs would have not
    considered it due to comparatively higher likelihood of
    fraud (due to corruption etc) occurring.

    The club have released their financial results for the year ending June 2022:
    https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/2023/february/financial-results-year-end-30-june-2022/

    A lot to address, but this stood out to me:
    "We share our supporters’ frustrations at so many ‘near misses’ resulting in a lack of trophies. Over the last two decades we have been in 14 semi-finals, made it to six finals and only won one of them. It must be our hope that we are soon celebrating a trophy win. We are immensely grateful to our fans who have supported us throughout and we want nothing more than to see them rewarded for their loyalty and passion."

    I suspect that this won't be the part that gets a lot of engagement, though.

    This illustrates the futility of measuring owner performance by trophy wins. We won the first nine or ten cup finals we took part in. That is a bigger outlier in the positive direction than the recent one out of six in the negative direction. Neither is a good measure of how well the club was run in the period in question.

    "It is understandable that some fans call for more spending, much of which is unsustainable for many clubs.
    "We are competing in a league in which we have seen increased sovereign wealth ownership and consortia finance; and in a league where the spending power is now vested in the hands of a few who dominate and have the ability to distort the market."

    - Levy


    I don't care, and that goes to who owns us as long
    as Spurs can say they have won trophies.

    - Billy (probably)
