    This is what puzzles me about the prices at other grounds and venues.
    You increase the price of a pint by £1 and it costs you tens of thousands of sales. Absolute lunacy.

    Made me wonder...what ever became of that sign at the Spurs pub on Great Cambridge Road. It was a figure of a cockrell dressed as a Spurs player.Badge and all. It closed some while ago.Someones got it....and those match pictures that were on the walls inside.

    Seemed to me that there was plenty of beer when I left about half an hour after the game

    Apparently, Daniel Levy's salary has halved,
    Hence numerous bars.....not EVERY bar.....unless you were in all of them?

    The total salaries of key directors was halved (p20) .
    For Levy, I assume this is a new WHL "job done" winding down.

    I'm doubting that it will get much reporting. Always the way...

    Levy is sitting on 28% of the value of new WHL, so no big deal to him.

    In contrast to the mayor of Newham (whatever happened to him) and
    his proclamation that he had spent 40m of borough taxpayer money
    for "30% of that" (the White Elephant stadium) . :)

    On that note, what have our lovely neighbours said about yesterday ??
    Anything from the dirty moonface ??
    An opening orchestrated by a stadium "full of seasoned professional" dg. ??

    Sorry if that seemed rude. I was on my way out and didn't check what I'd written. Looking back at it, it looks really awful.

    I have heard from people that were there and read on other forums that the Beavertown stuff ran out and the Amstel and at some of the bars, the Heiniken too.

    Again, sorry for the earlier post.

    I did sneak a look at KUMB last night.

    The reaction was that they know full well that they've been sold a pup and we've been given something truly special. A few were snipey but told to pipe down by fans who have no love for us but weren't going to allow them to get away with suggestions that the stadium wasn't all that.

    One of the funniest was the suggestion that both clubs had taken part in the 'New Stadium Game Show' and whilst we'd gone home with the sports car, all they could remember was the cuddly toy and went home with that.

    I like to think of them coming up with an athletics stadium in the middle of nowhere, more like Bullseye when the blokes from Stoke-on-Trent won a speedboat.....

    "Great.....Now what the **** are we supposed to do with that?"

    £113M world record profit.
    Levy's no doubt perturbed by Spurs profligacy given an income of £380M.
    Where's the other £267M gone?

    I definitely didn't see the rude side of it so no worries- no need for an apology.

    The club's announced that they paid £11m in agent's fees in the last year

    I'm going to assume that wasn't all to Lucas' agent...

    Yup, for contract extensions (barring Lucas' signing, obviously)

    There's a brief mention in the current issue of WSC how, back in 2004, Tim Cahill would've signed for Palace until his agent demanded the club pay him the 5% commission instead of his client, which led to Simon Jordan cancelling the deal...and then Cahill signed for Everton while Palace were relegated by a single point, meaning that by refusing to pay £100k Simon Jordan cost the club millions

    Not sure why I brought it up, other than laughing at Simon Jordan's ineptitude...

    2 million per game to hire Wembley is a big hole in the budget which we will no longer have to pay.
