That was interesting. I wish Jim White had shut the fuck up and let both Stefan and Jordan tell us the maths they were working on. As it stands, we have an FFP Expert and a former club owner saying two different things. Tempting as it is to dismiss Jordan as a blowhard, he’s the one guy in all this that’s actually been a club owner.

It does seem to me that whilst we may well have loads of FFP headroom, we don’t have the ability to pay from club profits, so the ownership would have to put money in?
Talk of a 'cash flow' issue from Ornstein today.

Empty pockets again, poor little Tottenham.

I think your second paragraph was the point Jordan was trying to make

The point that Jordan refused to acknowledge was that wriggle room of 200 million doesn’t mean ENIC has to put up that cash now.

A quarter, perhaps even a fifth of that amount, would allow us to secure that level of spending, to be spread out over the period of the respective contracts.

We have the money. It’s complete nonsense.
 
Do you really listen to Jordan. He's the same Pratt that insists Levy doesn't make signings. He's the same Idiot that Hails Levy for the Hotels, Go Cart tracks and Art Galleries. He also keeps yapping about Daniels THFC business model. He seems to get quite aroused as well. Just ask yourself, "How do other, lower laying clubs, with small stadiums, cheaper ticket prices and less food stalls, afford a higher wage bill. The biggest reasons players laugh at the thought of joining Spurs, is that they they will get payed Peanuts if they join this circus.
I don’t know much about Jordan and don’t listen to Talksport, so really only hear anything he has to say on the few videos posted on here.

But, he’s an ex club owner, so I’d think he’d have insight that we don’t. Maybe he talks bollocks, but maybe he doesn’t. None of us really know. I suppose we take what he says as confirmation or otherwise of what we already believe.

No surprise with the losses we’ve had over the past three years.

Yep. FFP wiggle room is completely different from cash in the bank.

Oh aye, we wouldn’t have to pay a full fee up front, can spread over the five years. But then the owners would have to put the same money in next year, the year after, etc, so may still have to put up that 200m out of their own pockets.

And I know, poor old ENIC having to do that, but it is still a big speculation. I’d hope they’d do it, judging by the prize when they sell, but it’s not looking likely.

Fuck, even a couple of squad filler loans would calm my thirst right now.

The hotel is being built to capitalize on the non-Spurs events. How many Spurs supporters are staying overnight in a hotel? Not that many, right? And you hate the ones who are, right?
The massive fuck off building that these badges are screwed to is a football stadium. Do we have to have a sign saying “football stadium” on it to please everyone?

Another on the long list of shit that doesn’t matter. Sign some fucking players. Hang whatever shit you want on the walls.

Why would we ? It’s a “purpose built NFL stadium”

It just isn’t that simplistic though, is it?

Shouting “sign some fucking players” whilst ignoring the bigger picture and being belligerent towards fans that see the woods from the trees in respect of what’s really going on here, and how Tottenham Hotspur fans were lied to by ENIC in respect of how our “game changer” stadium would benefit the FOOTBALL CLUB, is just moronic, ignorant nonsense on your part.

Moronic and ignorant is a bit cunty. I was one of the fans that feel lied to also.

But, the “bigger picture” doesn’t involve our stadium having an NFL logo on it. If you think it does, consider your moronic and ignorant comment batted back over the net.
