It's absolutely disgusting.

They've taken £40,000,000.00 out of the club (from a reputable source) Or at best, invested zero.
While seeing the value of their asset grow imeasurably. Somewhere between 50 and 100 fold. Unprecedented.

They've achieved what, in their own words, they set out to do. Exploit the popularity of football.

And while their value grows and grows, they won't even sanction a badly needed, quality option to support and offer competition to Harry Kane.

And the most disgusting thing of all?
So many of our own fans supporting them

If you lend a tenner to a mate and he pays you back, do you say he may have done a runner with your £10 ?

No - well why do you harp on about a £49m loan made by ENIC to Spurs and that Spurs paid it back.

'Not one brick' John said to say the stadium would never be built

Sums you up, always wrong just unable to acknowledge any facts and report them accurately

Let’s have this straight, Levy has realised the walls were closing in on him and splashed out.

let’s see who is really financing this all. The word on the street is that we’ve come into money from somewhere.

I suspect the “bonus episode” may shed some light on this

Or you could just admit you don't understand corporate fiance and stop embarrassing yourself.

Spurs have 530m of debt but that's all adequate covered with two term bonds. Spurs also had 135m cash on hand money clearly visible in the last club accounts, so not some made up word on the street bollocks.
 
With our debt situation it is surprising we have been so active in the market given there is little prospect of earning any money from the stadium for Football or concerts in the foreseeable future.

Our debt is not due mostly for decades, it’s been repackaged as bonds.

Depends what you mean by "foreseeable".

Live football will return, and when it does we are a revenue behemoth (and UNTIL it does, every club in the world is struggling, we are in no way unique).

If we left the squad to rot in the meantime we would emerge to a much less favorable revenue climate, it would be the height of FINANCIAL irresponsibility to starve the football operation of resources.

And we've really done well to stretch every penny to maximize the resources we're making available for the win-now timeline of Mourinho. In two years we will very probably be in need of significant investment, but in two years we will surely also be selling tickets again.

We'll argue the Poch and stadium mishegas until our dying days, but since Mourinho's appointment the club's planning around him has been very sensible.
