Re: General Transfer Thread
Can someone explain to me like I’m 4 years old, how spurs can afford to spend what they are? And why are they vastly overpaying for Man City players? Suss as fuck.

Re: General Transfer Thread
They bring in over £700m per year, regardless of where they finish in the league, with the new stadium (NFL deal, Beyonce concerts etc), and you're allowed to spend upto 85% of your revenue.MmmBlueBranthwaite wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2026 7:08 pm Can someone explain to me like I’m 4 years old, how spurs can afford to spend what they are?

So all this shite we are looking to do at our ground means we can eventually spend loads of money!!?
Re: General Transfer Thread
Even at the old WHL they generated massive income in comparison to clubs (like is) with similar sized stadiums. It makes their lack of success and major trophies over the years even more bizarre.

Re: General Transfer Thread
Supposedly we brought in around £200m in the last season at Goodison, and the estimate is that's gone up to £260m now at the new gaffe (although we have to pay £30mish a year to pay for the ground). So that works out at only an extra £30m wiggle room initially.Audrey Horne wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2026 9:11 pm Wow

But yeah, the intention is that we massively increase events/concerts etc in the coming years, and that should give us a load more spending capability.
We need to get that Beyonce/Taylor Swift money.

It’s nothing dodgy, Spurs are having a Moshiri phase and are just lashing stupid money at everyone that’s played in the PremMmmBlueBranthwaite wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2026 6:40 am Something super dodgy is going on here. Why are Spurs helping Man City to cook he books?

City rumoured to now be sniffing around Wharton which would give them a good young hungry English CM pairing

Re: General Transfer Thread
That's an awful feeling £75 + 10m. Fuck and still after Marmoush and Gapko , that would be something like half a bill.
