But again, that is over 3 seasons and they haven't been in the league 3 seasons. The rules are broken.
Not sure, think Shady is due a massive payrise.
Wonder how much in wages we are still shelling out for that fat french wasted talent in turkey?
You're talking like the naming of the stadium can't be synonymous with the club though.
The Etihad, The Emirates, Allianz Arena, Spotify Camp Nou. Everyone knows what teams play there.
I think they simply failed to find rights for the money they were asking for.
"Turkey, you say? Chuck a couple on the barbie. Nah no salad, mate...just add a few burgers as trimmings."
crazy he'll be back again in the summer! maybe a loan out in the middle east might be possible ,
Perfectly possible and in which case those demanding the £20m pa, are venting over something which doesn't exist.
The stadiums named Etihad etc are named that way very simply because Etihad etc want the publicity generated when the name of the stadium is mentioned - so you've proved the point that those companies believe the name of the stadium has a value. And by mentioning Etihad rather than ManCity, Mancity is missing out on part of the publicity ...... even though many people know Mancity play there.
Tottenham Hotspur stadium being named that way means Spurs are not 'sharing' the name recognition with any third party company (eg Apple) and keeping 100% of the value of TH stadium being mentioned.
Levy won't sanction that, not unless he takes a big hit.
It makes far more sense to loan him out again. Even if we have to pay half his wages. A) we dictate where he goes b) it's cheaper to do that than pay 100% of his wages
Are you starting another revolutionary thread?!!!
b/c while I'd rather it was called WHL, NWHL, or even keep THS, the plan from Levy isn't to do that. On that basis the cunt has chucked a lot of cash down the drain.
They knew the rules before they bought 42 players. They only had 80 odd overspend
But during a certain period they benefited from breaking the rules. I think that's what it comes down to.
Or had the potential to benefit from it
Nope, already been explained in this thread.
That's just buying the Levy justification for his failure to do what he said he was going to do.
The longer it's gone on, the larger the loss is, at which point one (Levy) has to claim there is actually a net benefit to his strategy after all. You didn't expect him to admit he's fucked up on commercials? Just that no other sports team with a major new stadium sees it that way eh Daniel ...
He's right and everyone else is wrong yet again?
He set the price too high, as he always does.
Do you have any evidence of this or are you just speculating and talking out of your behind?
What evidence would I need? It's a matter of public record that Levy originally made comments re the intention to sell the stadium naming rights. Various members of Tottenham management team have, over the years, commented on the work underway to do just that.
Are you denying Tottenham have not been trying to sell the naming rights? (they may or may not still be - everyone has their price).
The amounts Levy was seeking were widely reported. Correctly or not. In any event, do you think his behaviour on pretty much all player transfers is indicative of a man who overvalues his assets or not?
