Surely the real issue here is that you don't like using the ignore feature. The issue could be solved with the click of a button but you don't want to do it because you want to see what he posts.

I'd much rather that you accepted you dislike the ignore feature more than you dislike his posts, and that you have the ability to solve the issue but you'd rather not.

Ignore function is useless when you have some twat on ignore and everyone is engaging with him because he's trolling the whole forum, people are always going to bite to his rage baiting posts because they're intentionally inflammatory. ;)
 
Can't be? That's 200m per season for naming rights?
Yeah, I know. 🤷‍♂️ Just a rumour I saw elsewhere that I thought I would share.

Think it would take a serious amount of money to get a name on the stadium. Instead of The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium being mentioned every few minutes at a PL game on international TV, an NFL game, a boxing event, Rugby league, Boyonce (etc) concerts, so on and so on.

I don't think a deal worth £30 - £50 million a year is worth it for the club or Levy/ENIC. This has been posted about so many times.

The alternative is zero. They've been seeking a buyer for these rights since the moment the shovels went into the ground, and failure to secure a deal has been a lingering failure.

But they have also been seeking minority investment into the club, and packaging the two together could in theory enhance the value of both to the right kind of investor.

The problem has long been that investors and sponsors don't believe in Levy as someone who can deliver the Champions League football, global stars, and general positive brand halo that would justify top-of-market money.

This sudden splurge could just as easily be ENIC trying to assuage those concerns to close the deal as being the result of closing the deal.

We'll see. This is a diamond of an asset, I continue to just pray for it to be treated accordingly.

I think the 'brand' is worth more than the naming rights for £40m a year. I think Levy/ENIC do as well.

Agree with this.

First I've heard of that stadium. 🤷‍♂️

Googled it, appears to be an arena for basketball and hockey. I would suggest a PL team like Tottenham has greater worldwide appeal? Therefore a greater cost.
It is the old Staples Center in LA. It just got a new name when Crypto.com bought the naming rights to the stadium.

It is one of the most famous arenas in the world. In good part because it happens to be in LA and home to the Lakers.

Nah, you're misreading it. "Tottenham Hotspur Stadium" does not have independent brand value to Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.

It's a generic nothing name on purpose, to prevent any naming associating accruing to the new stadium so the full value remains to be sold (the second corporate name is worth less than the first because people still colloquially use the old name, etc etc)


Yeah that mention of wanting an entity independent of the PIF sovereign wealth fund (why?) could only leave Saudi Aramco as an entity big and public-facing enough.

They're title sponsor of the Aston Martin F1 team so they're a player in sports and England, but an oil company sponsoring an auto racing team has a certain synergy, football would be different.

I don't get the "don't conflict with Newcastle" thing. Surely we're not selling a big enough stake that it would represent substantial control of the club.

(Right? :levyeyes:)

It was always referred to as the busiest arena in the world, hosting the Lakers, Clippers, the NHL's Kings, the WNBA's Sparks, and tons of concerts and other major events in downtown LA.

The Clippers have now moved to their own arena, but it's still an extremely heavily used entertainment mecca in a glitzy global city.

Our stadium is that too. It's more of a jewel for naming rights than your typical football ground, for certain.
