i'm glad you mention this so you could have invested into the stadium AND the squad except: you spent like 0 netspend since 2013 (not including this year) even though you premier league revenues have increased by tens if not 100s of millions alongside your multiple CL runs. Something doesn't add up here if Levy wasn't funnelling the extra revenue into the stadium....
We've spent more than 150m in the last two windows and increased salaries markedly. There would have been some temporary drag on the cashflow from the stadium during construction but that is now gone. Our net spend can now match Chelsea.
really now, you've only spent about 80m net from what i can see online. Anyway, that doesn't answer why you didnt spend anything before if the money wasnt diverted to the stadium
Only you recorded a record profit in 2018, this reduced by circa 40% in the last filed accounts for 2019.
8. Tottenham Hotspur Tottenham overtook Chelsea and Arsenal to become London’s richest club after posting record revenue. That stemmed from their run to the Champions League final and the move to their new 62,000-seater home. Matchday Revenue: €92.5m (£81.5m) Broadcasting Revenue: €276.7m (£243.9m) Commercial Revenue: €151.9m (£133.9m) Total Revenue: €521.1m (£459.3m) 9. Chelsea Chelsea slipped one place as revenue remained virtually unchanged. Broadcast and matchday revenue fell by €4m and €7m respectively owing to the Blues’ absence from the Champions League. Matchday Revenue: €75.6m (£66.6m) Broadcasting Revenue: €227.1m (£200.2m) Commercial Revenue: €210.4m (£185.4m) Total Revenue: €513.1m (£452.2m) ———————————————— Chelsea will be guaranteed to come out on top in the next published accounts. That’s quite a gap in commercial revenue generated.
Spurs fans will always make senseless excuses for Levy. The list of blinkered observations is endless I won’t ever fall for the bullshit again after the owner pulled the rug at a pivotal time in Poch’s 5 year project I will always take what Spurs fans say with a pinch of salt after they backtracked from ‘we will start winning once everything is in place after the first 5 years’(a ploy to support Levy) to then swiftly change the mantra to ‘we can’t spend because we have a stadium to pay off’(a ploy to support Levy) once the 5 years were up and people like me decided to remind them of what they were saying. and why the blind support for a chairman who has delivered 2 trophies in 20 years? Because before him we had it really bad apparently...so bad that this bald **** is allowed to totally re define the purpose of a football club and turn the focus from winning trophies to winning corporate deals for the stadium.
Every set of fans has their blind spots; subjects whereby they don't let facts hide their want to display their overwhelming ignorance and stupid opinions: Spurs = Levy Newcastle = takeovers Leicester = yoof Arsenal = success Liverpool = football
Only 3 players have registered 20 or more goals and 20 or more assists this season. Lionel Messi Jadon Sancho Bruno Fernandes Levels.
