This is based upon the previous set of rolling 3 year financials which included very strong results previous to our loss posted in June. Our PSR ceiling will begin rapidly lowering as we post future FY results showing losses year after year.

The idea that not being in Europe at all 2 out of 3 years isn't going to greatly impact our finances and PSR calculation is just a bizarrely incorrect position from a very intelligent poster.
The profit and loss numbers in our accounts are inclusive (correctly, actuarially speaking) of massive annual depreciations of the stadium.

That is not, NOT, NOT the relevant figure for PSR/FFP purposes.

Missing Europe costs revenue and negatively impacts our PSR/FFP scope. That is true. But even in a season out of UEFA competitions our wages to turnover ratio is dead last in Europe.

Using stadium-inclusive financial results to insinuate that Spurs are not THE SINGLE CLUB ON EARTH with the most scope to add player expenditure is a credibility-destroying lie.


Sorry Will, you don't have the savvy upper hand over the Levy whiners on this one.

Nice statistic

The sad thing is I think the players really are trying. Ange’s tactics are just so stupid that they can’t make it work.

That first half against Everton was a sacking offence in and of itself. Totally ignorant, arrogant approach to the game.
 
As I suspected, you won't answer. Why?

I'll hazard a guess...

Your "I try to live by a moral code" schtick was just hot air. You've come on here and lied. Moral code my arse. You've tried to take the moral high ground as an excuse to dig out anyone who doesn't share your opinion.

Your repeated attempts to dodge the question has shown you up for what you really are.

Jog on.
So you're a coward like your hero?

Easy to unwrap your loyalty to his cause by just putting up the mirror.

So I should answer your questions but you are unwilling to answer any questions about the debt that your hero has saddled the club we love with?

Why should loyal supporters of THFC pay this parsite's mortgage payments on the megadome so he can pay himself a fortune and a bonus for increasing the ticket prices and reducing the player wage bill?

Is that not a reasonable question that you are avoiding answering?

Please explain to everyone how it is you can attempt, (in a very lame manner) to undermine a fellow THFC supporter for pointing out a few uncomfortable truths about your hero but run away the minute you have to justify what he has done to THFC and the loyal supporters who pay a fortune to watch him fail?
 
It was competitive back then as it is now. Some sides get better, others don’t. Fucking Forest are 3rd in the league after almost getting relegated last season. Man City are 6th. United are shit. If we had a proper season we could’ve sneaked into top 4 taking advantage of the poor season City have. When City rebuild and Newcastle will spend some more money, we won’t sniff that Champions League football for a long time.

No, it wasn't man - you can concede a point you know - it doesnt mean you like Ange or Levy - no one will judge you.

A league where 5th finished 30 points ahead of 10th is MUCH less competitive than a league where 5th is 8 points ahead of 10th.

Its not even up for debate.
 
You are so so wrong.

I have known that Daniel Levy doesn't care about me, or anyone else for that matter, since he sacked Martin Jol at half time.

This revealed to me exactly what type of a man Daniel Levy really is.

I try to live my life by a moral code.

I sometimes fail at this but I am aware of the mistakes I have made and I try not to make the same mistake twice.

Daniel Levy is a complete and utter failure as a football club chairman.

He is a successful businessman.

He is also an absolute fucking coward who hides behind everyone else and allows them to take the blame while knowing exactly how much it will cost him to purchase their compliance.

Your remarks suggest a type of admiration for Levy as well as contempt for me; as someone who is prepared to at least attempt to dig this greedy, useless mother fucker out of the club I genuinely love and have supported since I was 7 years old.

Levy definitely prefers supporters like you to supporters like me though.

Well done for your tolerance and compliance with the agenda.
I have neither disdain for you nor admiration for Levy.

I merely refuse to waste energy ranting about a man who couldn't care less about my opinion, nor am I willing to delude myself with the idea that his decisions are influenced by the opinions of people like you and I.

I've said 3 times in the past couple hours that he's a bad chairman, and explained, in some depth, why I think he's a bad chairman and why he continues to make mistakes.

I don't have a problem with your ire for him, nor do I attempt to dissuade you from expressing it or, as you say, trying to dig him out of the club.

Levy is incompetent as a football chairman, he's not malevolent nor do I believe he doesn't care about football - the man watches more football matches than any other PL chairman. He went to Tamworth, FFS. He's trying, he's just not good.

Blah, blah, oh no I'm a victim.

You're a liar, your constant swerving of a reasonable question has lit that up in neon lights.

Like I said, jog on.

He's been wasting our time for 24 years and stolen a living as chiarman of THFC.

Here he is attempting to justify the sacking of his best ever managerial pick;

This man also sold the best ever player THFC have produced.

Shame on anyone defending this garbage beyond yesterday.

Levy serves himself; not THFC or the supporters.

Antonio Conte - Sacked March 2023

So far, Spurs have spent an eye-watering £51m on pay-offs to failed managers in under 10 years.
Now, Conte is set to add to that figure, with The Mirror reporting he's set to get £4m to cover the final three months that were left on his deal.

Whatever figure it pans out to be, Spurs will definitely be hoping whoever they recruit next season won't hit their back pockets quite so hard as those that have come before them...

Sorry Will, you don't have the savvy upper hand over the Levy whiners on this one.
The effect of the stadium isn't so significant that having a PSR composed solely of 2 seasons without European competition and 1 season of EL competition will not have an impact.

And we're not discussing Levy at all here. The point made is that Ange's lasting legacy at Spurs will be the financial damage his 18 month reign of disaster will create. That's independent of any analysis of Levy, in fact Levy could fuck off today and Ange's stinky shadow would still be haunting his replacement 48 months from now.
 
wow can't believe he's not gone given our history but i guess levy and the board have decided there's nothing to play for and we're just going to roll the dice on the 6 or so points we'll need to stay up. these next 15 weeks are going to be absolute misery and it's the biggest fuck you to a loyal fan base i've ever seen. even if we don't go down real damage will be done on this path we've chosen. not sue i can keep watching while the fat fraud is moping on the sidelines. things will only get worse. puke

This is the 2023 annual report put out by the club that breaks it all down.


In the most recent 2023 report there was a stated loss of 86 million pounds but depreciation of roughly 77 million. When you adjust for that amount alone the loss is 9 million, not 86, at least for PSR purposes.

In terms of revenues, matchday receipts increased by 11 million pounds. Europe definitely helped as it generated an additional 56 million pounds, BUT our commercial revenues increased from 183 million to almost 228 million from the year before. We have Europe this year and while not as lucrative as Champions League, we're in three cup competitions and deriving the revenues from that. Aside from that, the increased general commercial activities continues to grow so the impact of a loss of Europe competitions becomes increasingly less impactful on the overall business.

You're a liar, your constant swerving of a reasonable question has lit that up in neon lights.

Like I said, jog on.
Everyone can see it is you who is avoiding answering because that would involve having to be critical of Dear Leader and that would never do.

Insulting me on a personal level just makes you look foolish. Especially under the current circumstances the club finds itself in for the 17th time in 24 years under these owners.

Being rude and obnoxious or attempting to provoke those speaking truth makes you look pathetic and I genuinely pity you.

How can you claim to be a genuine THFC supporter?

Explain to everyone watching how the debt ENIC have brought on THFC helps the club or the supporters?

Please don't run away again.
