Dulux spurs "jokes"

[Tottenham Sean]

They haven't won a single European trophy!! Because the CWC isn't even recognised by UEFA

If we stick with that view,then we weren't the first British club to win a European trophy. A fact I am incredibly proud of. So fuck UEFAs opinion

This really is a case of wetting the bed over First World problems, 99% of the football clubs in the UK would love to be in our current dire straits, a couple of cheap jokes from the Dulux hound doesn't alter that.

I would make you right if I thought it was the dog's opinion. But personally,I think one of the humans at Dulux told him to say it. Which changes everything..

Well yeah. We would have had a naming rights partner if they did.

There is a reason why, in the biggest, most-watched league on planet earth only TWO football clubs in the entire League have Stadium naming rights partners that are not associated companies owned by the owner of the Club, they are fucking hard deals to get over the line, especially in a country where they aren't commonplace.

If it was so easy, why haven't Utd, the most whored out club on the planet got one? LFC too, both of these teams have secured deals for their training grounds.

But but but but but....

The clubs that have a stadium naming rights deal are the clubs with new stadiums that cost less than ours to build.
The others, like Liverpol, Chelsea, United, Everton have had their stadiums built and paid for for decades.
The ones with a name, Woolwich, Leicester, Man City, all have (fairly) new stadiums. Same applies across Europe really. Bayern have the Alianz Arena because it's a new stadium.

I'm sure most of us would actually prefer that we stuck with White Hart Lane forever. But we all know to compete at the top table, we need money, and we need to negate the finance on the stadium so as far as I'm concerned, all Levy has done to date, is screw us. In pursuit of the best deal he's got no deal at all. That's poor. He couldn't have forseen the pandemic but it's completely ruined his plan to get the best deal in Europe. I can't see anyone ever comitting to that kind of money ever again.

What is your problem Baz?

I wasn’t aware that I had one

Perhaps just a different opinion to you?
Is that allowed?

or maybe I don’t like being called a prick?

Just found out the tweet that led to the comment about an empty trophy cabinet from Dulux was from my mate ,a Spurs fan. At least we have our humour...

We came third.

But every team came [insert league table position here] to Leiciester.

Perennial trophy winners Man Utd and Liverpool came 5th and 8th to Leicester.

I understand the sentiment behind the rest of your post, but the Leicester thing doesn't cut it for me. The only thing that I take from that season is that everyone else being so shit at the same time will never happen again, and that was the best chance we had. It doesn't make us any more or less losers than usual though, just because Leicester did it that particular year.

Great post

You make some fair points, but I've noticed a trend that the same people who often claim that we can't win titles because we lack the resources of the Cities, United's and Chelsea's are often want to make excuses for the Leicester season, the fact is, that was our golden opportunity, we had a better team and squad than them that season and we blew it in Spursy fashion.

In my view that's because it only really works if it is a new stadium. Everyone knows anfield would still be anfield and ditto for old trafford so the naming rights are worth less.

Probably right there mate but I genuinely haven't a clue, it's an alien concept for me to get my head around. On the face of it, it just seems like pissing money up the wall.

Please read what I posted. I said there are only TWO stadiums that have naming rights that are NOT tied in with the ownership of the club, Woolwich and Brighton. Although I freely admit I don't get what's going on at Brighton, it's now called Falmers, when it was called Amex but saw somewhere Falmer has something to do with Amex!!??!

It's also worth noting that there was consensus that Woolwich massively undersold the value of the naming rights deal, there's a really boring article or two that goes into great length about it. But also worth noting that we've overtaken them commercially, and they have a deal in place. I think he knows what he's doing, there is a bigger picture at play here.

The others you mention are all named after a company associated with the ownership, it's not a standalone deal, money is simply moved around for account purposes and as a way to negate FFP (which is now fucked).

You still haven't listed the deals that he turned down.

Our commercial revenues grew the largest of any club on a % basis last accounting period, I wonder how this was achieved? Hardly screwing us. Again, stadium naming rights is what every club in the country would no doubt love to achieve but for a variety of reasons, only TWO have them in place.

Where we've been fucked by him is his recruitment of Jose.

The man City one is bent as a 9 Bob note. They sponsor themselves eleventy billion to cheat FFP. Lost as to how Emirates are linked to Woolwich's ownership? Brighton aren't owned by Amex or Falmers whatever that is?
City aside, pretty much anyone that spent hundreds of millions on a new stadium have a sponsor that effectively pays the rent for them.
West Ham don't because they're squating there.
