N’Dombele out…Actually mental.
There will be a couple calling for him to be given a chance.
He’ll be back once he collects his BOGOF Domino’s Pizzas.

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 It's a matter of public record that Levy originally made comments re the intention to sell the stadium naming rights.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?
Announcing “talks with investors” seems a little transparent. I don’t believe a word of it and even if we did receive “investment”, you’re laughing if you think that means top quality players being brought in.
At best it’ll cover what ENIC currently allocate to transfers with the rest going towards the new hotel we’ve just received planning permission for.
This is our trophy"Levy’s pay increased by £316,000 to £3.581m for the year ending June 2023, up from £3.265m for the previous 12 months, while the total earned by Spurs’ directors was £9.07m, up a significant £3.221m from £5.849m in 2022."
"Levy was also paid a £3m bonus over the course of the year, taking his total earnings to £6.581m, despite him facing significant unrest from supporters during a dismal 2022-23 campaign"
Directors and Levy are doing well I see.
I'm gonna get it printed on a shirtGood Old Daniel says we can "now optimise the true value of key assets". He'll never know how much that phrase warms my heart.
I've supported Spurs for 65 years just so I could optimise the true value of key assets. I want that on my tombstone - "He optimised the true value of key assets."
don't forget ol' fixxy
Group buy?
In 5 years we'll be in the same position having the same arguments. And the people on enic and Levy’s side will still be saying the same thing talking about revenue and hosting events instead of the lack of success on the pitch.
For having the shiniest bonce at the clubI know Levy got a 3m bonus for completing the stadium in 2019, but what is the latest bonus for, any idea .
For delaying the cheese room until global cheese supplies collapse.
Ask Ange what he prefers - extra 200M to spend this summer or a long term advantageous marketing returnBut we lose the benefit of 'Tottenham Hotspur Stadium' being broadcast to millions of people worldwide for NFL, rugby, boxing plus Spurs matches - and that translates into higher sponsorship deals, more music concerts etc.
There are plenty of expert marketing forms who will do the match and work out whether £20m pa is worthwhile or whether not taking up a naming rights deal and having 'Tottenham Hotspur stadium ' mentioned on broadcasts with higher other revenue streams is worthwhile - and the fact a naming rights deal has not been done suggests its not particularly advantageous

No."The Board and its advisors, Rothschild & Co, are in discussions with prospective investors."
Perhaps Rothschild & Co would like to get involved.
The name has a certain wealthy ring to it.
Maybe some coffee mugs too
This financial stuff is always confusing. A lot of the loss is just onThis is a brilliantly unintentionally funny thread.
Takeaways from the financial reports:
EBITDA of 138 million is up -25% year-on-year. Will drop no doubt in the next returns because of lack of European football. I doubt anyone will report such positive results (City from Treble-winning revenue perhaps?)
The stadium is an absolute cash cow — even on non match days. You can scoff at go-karts and NFL matches but they’re increasing our bottom line immensely. The stadium debt ( 3.1% @20 year avg ) isn’t a drag at all.
Our wages/revenue ratio is still the lowest in the EPL. If Tottenham is intent on improving the squad, it must go up. Having said that, it will go up regardless as our reported revenue will fall at the end of this year as we’ve had no European football. 2024 will be an interesting percentage.
If I turned in these kind of financial results, I would probably get a £3m bonus too.
Never do things for free. When the $$$ hits my paypal then we speakDon't we have a proper finance genius in our ranks inArt Vandelay ? Bet he could explain it all to us like we're 5yo.
And is the loss actually a loss, or is it just down on what it could have been.
Like, if I don't get an annual bonus this year, I haven't made a loss. I just didn't get what I got last year, is that what's actually being said here?
Because I can't understand how a business stays open if they make less money than they spend to that extent.
