This time next year, Rodney, we’ll be top of the league.

Looks like years of austerity, refusing to pay the big wages, and cheaping out on 2nd and 3rd rate alternatives is coming back to bite us in the bum.
"Doing things the wrong way"
How many more times do you need to be told that our wages are about the 6th highest in the PL. not good enough to win PL but not the reason we are 16th. Employing the wrong players, Managers and those in charge is the problem. Incompetence.
Just matt being Matt
Our budgets vary every season depending on whether we make Europe, sponsorship deals and even where we finish in league because each place is worth about 3m.
None of this article is new or even news worthy. "Club doesn't know budget for next season" yea no shit
"Sponsors considering whether they will renew sponsorship deal" the same way every sponsor does huh
FFS he never misses an opportunity to try and hit us
Matt Law. He can do one
He's not wrong though, is heMatt Law. He can do one

As reported by Matt Law Tottenham is staring at a serious financial setback, with industry experts suggesting the damage to commercial and sponsorship deals could cost the club tens of millions of pounds.
This isn’t just about prize money or TV revenue. It’s about brand value. It’s about perception. Sponsors pay premium rates to be aligned with ambition, competitiveness and Champions League nights, not instability, poor planning and a club drifting without direction.
Even if Spurs avoid relegation, the commercial fallout is already being felt. When performance drops, leverage disappears. Renewal negotiations weaken. New deals shrink. And suddenly the “world-class stadium, global brand” argument starts to ring hollow.
What makes it worse is that this feels entirely self-inflicted. For years we’ve been told the business model is elite. That we’re run sustainably. That everything is calculated. Yet here we are on the pitch in decline, commercially vulnerable, and staring at financial consequences that could have been avoided with better football leadership.
The board cannot hide behind balance sheets and branding exercises. Football drives revenue. Success protects value. Competence at executive level matters. Right now, supporters are watching a club that built itself into a commercial powerhouse slowly chip away at the very foundations that made sponsors want to invest in the first place. And the people at the top still acting like this is just another quarterly report. For a club that built its identity around “To Dare Is To Do”, this feels like the cost of doing neither.

There are consequences. AIA and Nike pay us big bucks because we were a Champions League team when those deals were done.
To finish bottom 6, 2 years in a row would likely have implications for that deal.
It did for United IIRC
The fact that all of the people representing the club at this meeting are from the business side is quite disappointing.
Ku
simply not fit for purpose.. need to strip away their official position and then really go for ENIC.
It’s not likely as cut and dry as they present.
Let’s assume we end up 12th. That’s £15m more revenue than last season on league position alone.
I think they banked £26m to win the Europa and have already won £43m in the Champions League. £18m more so far.
So as long as they rise up the league. Nothing much to see here.
By not competing in Europe next season, the loss of the Champions League money will bite in the season that follows. For sure, not making Europa or conference is probably neither here nor there in the wider context. Perhaps a player sale they don’t want to make or a transfer they don’t make - lol “we tried”
Brand Value I know nothing about, but the owners don’t seem to have given a shit about that for years, if ever. And the stadium will sell out irrespective of what our team do. Corporate sales for concerts or football, matters little and might be less hassle if it’s not the likes of us and more the prawn sandwich
lot. ENIC might even have briefed Matt Law to ensure the expectations are as low as possible moving forward. March is when the budgets are set for the summer, and I smell a rat in the timing of this.
Same old same old. Boring
Bit of both I'd guess?
Probably largely based around the utter financial catastrophe of us getting relegated, though.
You'd think us winning a major European trophy and playing in the CL would help to at least somewhat mitigate any concerns. My guess is everything he's catastrophising is directly related to relegation.
Well, no press at Spurs this week due to no cup game, but the press pack have heard its chaos at Spurs. All the staff and players given a few days off, and many of the training guys and staff haven't been told if they are expected back or not. Silence from the club.
There will be a fair few interviews coming out if they can word around the NDAs.
A full accounts audit is happened, Talk of fraud. Good chance the books will Frozen until it's resolved - which means summer transfer business could be a pipe dream.
Lewis family and Levy likely to end up in court.

Problem is, they kicked out the people who had been running the club for 20 years and changed all the staff. New CEO, new board, new coach, new everything. It fell completely flat. Now the Lewis family are throwing their toys out the pram, since they put a significant amount of $$$ into the club over the summer, with 250 million spent on transfer fees, along with packages for new staff.
Without European football next season, revenues drop significantly - TV, Endorsements, Ticket sales. The squad is also far too big and would need to be reduced.
Everybody knew what would happen when Kane and Son were gone. You can't replace players of that quality with Odobert and Solanke and expect improved results.
