How Dry should our Powder be?

After Sess & Gio, why would we wanna take such a risk ever again?

Give Toney 2/1 that Neto plays just 25 leagues games next year and even he wouldn't gamble.

For the record, I wouldn’t either.

But Wolves want to sell so Danny boy will see value. Might have to get to the idea
 
He’s playing Trent there because he’s one of our best footballers, it’s not a Hail Mary. Trent is one of the most disrespected ballers in the country, his defensive weaknesses are sooooo overplayed compared to what he can do with a football.

He’s Beckham-lite and his set pieces and delivery could be lethal in internationals. You get him somewhere in the lineup.

Unless you're a risk averse manager like Southgate.
 
The football club including infrastructure, not the football team. The former is to help these locusts grow their nest egg value before the sale (at the short term detriment to the latter)
That’s a distinction without a difference. The stadium helps our football teams. The events turn a profit which help our football team. The development of land turns a profit that helps our football team. These are small operations next to the football club but each contributes a small amount that we can use to become better.

if the owners are self-interested then they would want the football team to do well. That is in their financial interest. And if they were greedy then they would take money out of the club. In fact they’ve done the opposite - they’ve put money into the club.

Facts.

Agree with all that, not saying they are the devil but for me the balance is wrong. The stadium made sense and clearly still does but is the hotel really gonna make a diff? Right now, they should be concentrating on selling a minority stake or finding a way to bring in external investment to turbocharge the investment on the first team, and the strong PSR position we have vs others. Solely self funding won’t work - need a short term boost

Does the hotel make any difference to our capacity to run a good football team? The amount of institutional manpower it uses is negligible; it’s done through contractors and professional services.

As a club, we could commit to bigger investment and wages, but choose not to.
Clubs like villa and Newcastle, are champing at the bit to, become part of the big boy set, meanwhile spurs continue to wait for an opportunity.

There's not a shred of evidence that a single penny from THFC property portfolio or third party events gets put into the football team they're leeching off. We were and remain the Premier League's lowest gross income to squad expenditure football club.

As Levy himself said, they only became involved in football to make financial gain from its global popularity.

On the gravy train. Snouts in the trough. Zero trophies since 1 carling cup 16 years ago.

Anyway, monsieur. Now your bullshit has been answered, stop taking the transfer thread off topic and take your pro ENIC propaganda to the thread it belongs.

Here you go: some legal documents for you. Annual Reports | Tottenham Hotspur

If you can find evidence that the owners are taking money out of the club then I will contribute to the legal fund to sue them for lying and retract my statement.

You’re all style and no substance.

I’ll wait…
