I didn't know where to post this thought, this is a good a place as any - did anyone else think that if we had celebrated a League Cup win to this extent, we would have been mocked endlessly over winning a 'Mickey Mouse' trophy?
Don't get me wrong, I would have loved to have gone to Wembley and paraded the Cup around North London - been far too long since we celebrated like that.
Good luck to Newcastle, I say, rather them than the scousers, who would have taken it for granted.

They've had lots of people mocking them, and for sure we'd get that worse, but I have also seen a lot of sensible fans happy for them that they finally won something after so long. I suspect those making fun of them have probably never set foot inside one of the stadiums of the teams that they purport to support.

Exactly.
Small time mentality polluting our fanbase.

One of the current Big 6
Formerly one of the Big 5
Record FA cup winners pre-ENIC
Proud European heritage
Massive fuck-off fanbase
London
9th richest club on planet earth

The list goes on and on

We used to attract the best players. The only reason we don't any more is Daniel Levy and ENIC

Levy admitting that if it werent for the extra revenue streams generated by the stadium we would be at a loss was a great admission that he has been an utterly disastrous owner presiding over a poorly performing football team over the accounting year. He basically admits he has been shit!
 
"Levy wants the football team to be a trophy winning success "

Why did we build this stadium again?

I seem to recall levy telling us all 10 years ago that we needed the new stadium to compete with the other top teams. White hart lane was not fit for purpose and the additional revenue the new stadium would generate would ensure we attracted the best players.

What a lot of horsehit

The biggest revenue stream is surely the football club and its success, right? Winning the League or Champions League (fanciful as that sounds) would surely make more money?

I’m a fan of Tottenham Hotspur. For me, winning is everything.

It seems as if our revenue football wise has dropped while our non footballing side has grown , we played a lot less games less season but the difference from the previous seasons revenue is minimal. Mediocrity is sustainable . 😟

Annoys me he is moaning about football revenue decreasing as if he has no control of it.

You are running the football club ffs, take some responsibility and invest in the team.

He never will though, even when we qualified for the CL it did not lead to any notable increase in player recruitment/spending

At White Hart Lane they needed the champions league revenue and upto a point did ok on that, between 2005 and 2015 we signed some good players, appointed some decent managers and seemed to want to improve. The issue was not pushing on to improve even more when we were really close to success. They were happy with top 4. They rested on their laurels twice, under Redknapp and Poch.

We dont need Champions league anymore, the league is more competitive, it needs constant investment and improvement and they are happy to maybe get 6th or 7th. I'm sure they'd like to be regulars in the CL but they arent prepared to really push for it anymore.

Yup. There is no new sporting project at Tottenham. The ENIC sporting project ended with the CL final.

Nail on the head. It's easier and less risky to develop other revenue streams. His appetite for football is non-existent.

I agree but you have to be realistic. We have not won the Top English division since 1961 & never the top European trophy. Both Mourinho & Pep started chelsea 's & MC 's reign by winning the league cup and getting the winning feeling before going onto better things. Newcastle by winning the League Cup may go onto better things but many have not, but it is a start. Sod the money earnt by the bigger trophies and lets just win something on the football field.

Well, yes, that too.

Successful teams that win trophies gain the fans.

Fans spend… etc.

Which has a higher value if he generates higher income and reduces overheads . He is running the club in my view to maximise its sale value, so he is taking money out but on a deferred basis . I know this is technically what you are saying , but he is extracting a higher valuation now , as in today at the expense of the team . Whether he overvalues it and still doesn’t sell this year or next is irrelevant to me . The club is a revenue up so valuation up whilst based on an expenses down model, that is how I see it .

Agree. It’s fair and correct to argue that Levy is squeezing the margins (wage/revenue) unnecessarily now to maximise the Big Bang when they finally sell.

Along with that (and maybe tied in with that) it’s the actual strategic football decisions (the strategy for recruitment, who runs and operates that recruitment, head coaches etc) has been Levy’s biggest failure, especially the last 7-8 years. And they are fundamental imo.

It’s just the complaining about the non football events that is bonkers. They bring millions into the club budget, this was a massively successful move by Levy, to be applauded, and will help make us attractive potential buyers, that everyone wants.
