The amount of money saved on this scheme won’t stop the transfer money being spent if the club wants to, plus Levy’s pretty much said don’t expect transfers -

If we have to sell a key player to balance the books, levy has clearly done something wrong.

They’ll say the small amount saved here isn’t significant, but Levy is all about saving the pennies to be able to spend the pounds.

Unless he is of course but spending the pounds and missing out on players

It’s only going to be about £1m to £2m in total. If it’s used as an excuse to spend nothing then hey-ho we would’ve spent only £2 million anyway.

The stadium isn’t about LEDs and Seats although it’s nice and people are allowed to enjoy. It’s where it takes up in terms of revenues that then should reflect on the field, that’s where most level minded people see it.

The improvement started with Jol, Redknapp even AVB got the team upward even if boring and Poch made us consistent on a week in week out and finished the job.

As someone said on a post earlier in terms of trophies we had many SF and Final appearances it’s not all on Levy that we stumbled or some of Poch (who I love) made some baffling decisions

AVB upward? From 4th under Redknapp to 5th under AVB and in 7th place the season after when sacked.
 
This turnaround shows me two things.

1. That I was very probably wrong about us being Financially fcuked.
2. That those who thought there was no ‘cost’ to the poor publicity were also probably misguided.


Levy, being a numbers man, has obviously realised the negative publicity from the furlough outweighed the Financial benefit (probably about £1m).

Think it was just his(levy's) asperger's playing up. He saw a way to save money and went for it. Remember an article years ago how he used to walk around turning off all the lights then when someone told him it was cheaper having sensor lights he got those installed.

AVB got us a record points total in his first season, in his second, at the point he was fired, we had a higher ppg than we’d had at the same point in the previous, record total, season.

Points per game means nothing. League position and cup runs (ideally cup wins) are what matter.

OK. So no matter what we do in the market compared to our rivals you’ll be fine with it?

Where did i say that, listen if fans want to speculate then that is down to them. You seem to be the man for numbers so go for it if that is what floats your boat. Myself i will leave it to the ONLY ones who know, those at the club.

I’ll speculate
Pool won’t spend as much as some clubs
City will spend more than pool
United will spend a lot on 2/3 players
Chelsea won’t spend much at all
Arsenal won’t either unless they get CL
We will spend more than Arse and Chelsea
IMO of course with not science or facts and having never seen a clubs balance sheet
 
10 years, I would say that 10 years of following the club offered up more than the 20 before that I have been going week in week out.

Yep trophies would be great but my support isn’t conditional on winning things not expected for the reasons I have previously said.

What has happened as I’ve said many time’s is we enter most games with a strong chance of a result week in week out and we mix it with the big boys. I’ve seen us in the last ten years operate in a way where following the team was a total joy home and away and across Europe consistently more than we probably ever have, the fact it hasn’t ended in a trophy hasn’t diminished that level or enjoyment.

If it has for you then so be it.

'We are acutely aware that many supporters were against the decision we made regarding furloughing staff who could not carry out their jobs from home - due to the nature of their work - and our intention to apply, if applicable, for the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS), a scheme designed to ensure that jobs and employment rights are protected.

"Indeed we have seen opposition from fans to fellow Premier League clubs accessing the CJRS too. This once again underlines that we bear different pressures to other businesses, many of whom have and will continue to apply for support from the scheme as the Government intended.

"In view of supporter sentiment regarding the scheme, it is now not our intention to make use of the current CJRS that runs until the end of May. We shall consult with stakeholders, including the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust with whom we have been in dialogue over the past week and who share our desire to protect jobs, should circumstances change going forward."

Daniel Levy, Chairman: "The criticism the Club has received over the last week has been felt all the more keenly because of our track record of good works and our huge sense of responsibility to care for those that rely on us, particularly locally.'

Wow.
