The stadium is actually trading as a different company.
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Ltd. ...I mean, what the actual fuck! Tottenham Hotspur Football club are (in the clubs own words) merely the 'Anchor Tenants' of a stadium that sooner or later will not even bare the name of the football team....

Anchor tenant - Wikipedia

It's ENIC's stadium. We just happen to play there.

Same set up at the Woowich, the stadium comes under Woolwich (Emirates Stadium) Limited. " The Principal activity of the Company is that of a property company" exact wording from their accounts .
At the Woolwich the stadium company is under the control of the parent company of the Woolwich which is KSE UK inc , at Spurs all subsidary companies like the stadium and training ground come under the control of the parent company Tottenham Hotspur Limited.
 
What is change? It’s all a bit vague at the moment. We need to be more direct and have a proper mission statement/goals. We can’t get caught up in poorly thought out (even with good intentions) schemes, protests etc. What do we actually want?

1. Comparable spending to similar revenue sized clubs
2. Our wage to turnover ratio should also be comparable with these clubs, but instead it’s one of the lowest in the league so we need to demand we match them
3. Demand to know what the remit is and what are the boards goals because they never mention winning
4. Who is actually in charge of football related business? Levy seems to get involved constantly still. Does Munn even do anything? Lange seems to be doing a very poor job and is often undermined
5. The board has to change because we’ve had so many managers, so many failures, so many projects and they have all failed. This board are not capable of making the correct decisions when it comes to footballing decisions
6. Demand we have statues for Bill Nic and proper trophy room to celebrate our history

I could mention more, but we need to keep it short and sweet at the moment. Without clear goals, my fear is this movement will fail

In pure practical terms you can probably focus just on wages. Most clubs that wins things spend on wages, we are miles under, will be about 35% wage to turnover this season which is a good 10-20% lower than even low spending clubs.

Once the wages are at 50-60% levels which is still lowish the class of player we can buy goes up a lot and thus we have a much better chance of success. There is being prudent and there is being a tight fisted dick.

Strange how they never use Newcastle as a joke club.

We're a bigger club with a much bigger, wider global fanbase. Our world wide social media following is around 6 x theirs.

Although Newcastle have a big, passionate fanbase, its largely restricted to the local area.

We also have two big local rivals who actually do regularly win silverware so that also makes us a more obvious target

David Ornstein makes concerning Mathys Tel reveal after Spurs switch

‘Nike Arena’ mooted as finance insider shares update on Daniel Levy signing £200m Tottenham stadium deal​

The atmosphere at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is growing more poisonous by the day and, with ENIC and Daniel Levy under cranium-crushing pressure, naming rights are hardly top of the agenda.

This weekend, Tottenham the world’s eighth richest club by revenue, return to their glistening £1bn home in North London to face Man United, the fourth-richest. They are 14th and 13th in the Premier League.

“It hasn’t worked, people around the European football scene with much better expertise than me say that he just hasn’t acclimatised to the step up as well as people thought, maybe it’s the pressure, the expectation or Harry Kane leading the line for Bayern Munich.”

Usual FraudStein saying fukk all while trying to sound like he's saying something of value, I love breaking down language especially from Journalists at no point in this quote does he say anything of any substance & I could say the same about any player in any team that isn't seeing minutes.

I believe ANY new signing to the current Spurs squad is going to face a 'tough introduction' considering our form, current Injury list, fan backlash at the board & Ange not delivering on wins.

Again another article waffling on about nonsense just to get Ad Space. oh & look he's still banging on about Cunha. He's not leaving Wolves anytime soon simple as that.
 
Can anyone tell me why Iraola seems to be flavour of the month? He's won nothing and he's got a total managerial win percentage of exactly 40%?

Surely appointing him would just be another roll of the dice for 18 months. Anyone who comes in now with a squad full of injuries is going to do no better than Ange, and just risk end up looking like Amorin.

I'd like to see a manager with pedigree, who plays entertaining football, and the commitment from Levy to build a squad of capable players, not buying over-priced, injury-prone players, or, a load of teenagers and expecting them to play twice a week and bail us out.

You build a squad over time, adding a couple of quality players in each window (and pay the going rate for wages), but we just react in every window and end up average players replacing average players - in actual fact, for 7 years, all of our decent players get replaced by average players too. Kane, Eriksen, Dembele, Jan, Toby, Rose, Walker - who is really much better since they left? And the list goes on. Even Romero, one of the more decent ones, is always crocked, getting sent off, or giving away needless pens. I mean, who really thought Werner was going to be any good, and if so, based on what? We just can't help collecting average from the bargain bucket.

I heard today that we could have spent £250m before getting close to FPP, and with our revenues, let's hope we have a clearout and refit in the summer, for the new manager.

I totally agree with you on all the points & that the people who want change should keep their focus to attainable goals - I doubt we will get number 5 but we can demand more transparency.

I'm happy to back these 6 points.

It can't descend into a Monty Python sketch as it will fail.

I'm gonna reach out to change Change Tottenham with a quick email.

I'm 50/50 on my attendance to the game based on how ill I am.
