Think they are yeah. Ray used to come into my bar in East Finchley when I lived there the odd time for a pint. I used to drink in the Alex on Fortis green rd and I always heard their first practice area was a garage next to the bar - think they lived there or one of the band did growing up.
Nice chap always up for a chat at the bar;)
Great band!

Tottenham boost confirmed as £120m off-pitch deal struck​


Adam Williams

Tottenham’s star is rising internationally. A quick look at the North London club’s commercial income shows that.
Spurs earned £228m from sponsorship, merchandise and events in 2021-22, the last year for which financial data is available.

Only Liverpool and the two Manchester clubs recorded higher commercial income in the same period, and the data suggests that Spurs’ brand is growing the quickest of them all overseas.

A recent study from Men in Blazers found that Spurs account for 15 per cent of US football fans, which is higher than any other English club.
Captain Son Heung-min meanwhile has turned the club into a commercial juggernaut in East Asia, where Spurs have spent pre-season ahead of 2024-25.
The commercial impact of an individual player is often overstated, but it is indisputable in Son‘s case.
Aside from the fact that he is a talented young player, Spurs’ acquisition of Yang Min-hyuk shows the club have one eye on retaining fans in the region in the post-Son era.

However, the latest news from the world of football business indicates that the game’s powerbrokers do not expect interest in Spurs and the Premier League as a whole to dip in East Asia any time soon.

Spurs to benefit from new £51m TV deal​

It is hard to quantify exactly how much the East Asian market is worth to Spurs, or indeed any other Premier League club.
The club have signed several commercial deals which are clearly centred on capitalising on the interest in the club in the territory.
But then there are less measurable benefits, such as brand exposure or how much the Spurs buzz in South Korea and beyond has contributed to Premier League’s TV deals in the area.
Recently, it emerged that the Premier League had struck a new broadcast deal worth around £40m over the next three years with Japanese broadcaster U-next.
Other clubs owe Spurs a thank you for a large chunk of the cash they will receive as a result of that deal.
Now, Seoul-based broadcaster Coupang has agreed a deal to take over the TV rights from Eclat in South Korea in a deal worth 66 per cent more than the previous package, per Sport Business.
The last deal was worth a reported £23.56m per season, which would mean the new arrangement is worth £39.84m, or £119.52m over the three-year deal length.

TBR Analysis: The Son Heung-min factor​

Son, now 32, is under contract until the end of 2024-25, although Spurs are believed to have the option to extend his deal by a further year.
Spurs are well aware that fandom is more fluid outside Europe, with supporters liable to change their allegiances based on their favourite player’s movements.
It would therefore not be at all surprising to see the attacker return to the club in an ambassadorial role one day after he eventually hangs up his boots.

The Premier League is the only league in the world wherein the value of the overseas rights outstrips its domestic broadcast deals.
That speaks to the phenomenal global interest in clubs like Spurs, which clubs are attempting to monetise further for their own financial gain.

A long article seeming to say Spurs are largely responsible for tv contracts worth £120m being won by PL - so Spurs get 1/20th or £6m and a 'thank you' from other PL clubs..........
 
What if Lange has been stuck in a room for a month with the AC Milan negotiators, and when he finally seals that deal this weekend he can finally be free to sign players.

I have to agree. For a long long time I was really angry at the Sugar days. But this current lot are far far worse. There is no serious ambition.

Utterly daft thing to say. Sugar was an utter moron who had no genuine ambition for Tottenham.

You can criticise Levy for not being obsessed with winning but he has achieved things that Sugar never even dreamed of doing and didn’t give a shit about even attempting.

That’s called ‘tapping up’.
In theory, the buying club need the selling club’s permission to approach the player (unless within six months of his contract termination).
Clubs will give permission for a player to instruct his agent to find another club so that permission is implicit, I guess.

My guess is that Tottenham gave permission for the Saudis to speak to Richardson based on a rough understanding of the fee involved (or reached out to Richy to grant permission for him to look for a new club) but he declined the move so there was no point in further negotiating ( a fee).

Times have changed, nobody gives a shit about tapping up anymore. Players have so many agents and intermediaries that it’s impossible to stop discussions happening.

Well if you want to be disingenuous and pretend as if Spurs being the only club in premier league history to not sign a player in a calendar year was remotely a possibility for you then fine. Your non-answering will suffice.

And putting IRRELEVANT in caps doesn't make it so. It is entirely relevant, especially given you're assuming that I don't think we'll sign anyone. I'll quote you again:



Now tbf quality is subjective but to make my point clear so you don't make assumptions again, for a club who signed zero players for an entire year, I would not put it past them to not sign a couple of quality players for the remainder of this window. This club is more than capable defying belief in transfer windows. I have no idea where we will end up by the end of the transfer window, that was never my point. But to question whether people should be concerned about expecting multiple quality signings going forwards, yes, they have more than enough evidence to support a healthy level skeptism as to what this club defines as quality as well as what is enough.

Hdf have dippers gone under the radar and got zibimendi? The got mac last season for £35M. Yet we have been linked with all sorts of players all summer yet to sign anyone. Something seriously is wrong. Now looks like richi isn’t going and royal deal may be at risk. We have spent so much money on crap players or ones not wanted and recouped f all. Royal, reg, rich, gio, plus the ones already let go like PEH, tanguy, sess, etc. We also have players like Johnson, Solomon, Werner, kulu, skipp, etc that are not good enough. From what I hear we need to let players like Spence to free up a place. Or even bent to get another overseas player. So wdf did we get Werner who takes up a squad place. Those who kept saying it’s only a loan but he still takes up an overseas spot. He does improve our forward line like Neto would but we may need to sell someone else to get him. It’s all fucked up and a mad house.

We'd all want another striker to come in alongside Solanke and preferably a wide forward hybrid who can play on the left hand side as well but we know what's gonna happen...our ST options for the season are going to be:

Solanke
Kulusevski
Son
Lankshear

They should score 30 - 35 goals this season with the way we play. Our strikers scored 28 goals last season and Solanke is supposedly better than the rubbish we supposedly had last season.
 
Same old spurs, manager says I want new players and preferably early in the window. Nothing happens to improve the starting 11 and the start oft the season is just around the corner.
No one can believe Ange is happy with this and everyone can blame Lange, Munn, scouts etc but at the end of the day there has been one consistent person behind the dusty trophy cabinet for the past 20+ yrs.

Get your finger and wallet out Danny boy, there is more to life than hotels and cheese rooms
