Had Arsenal not put that infrastructure in place they would be even further behind now than they are.

My point is that the infrastructure they have allows the owners to keep the dough flowing in; their board allowed Wenger free reign as long as that was happening, they didn't care about on-field stuff beyond making sure the Top 4 money was flowing. If they wanted to they could spend a load to get them back competing at the top and it wouldn't hurt them one bit - if that was their intention. Luckily for us, it's not their intention and in fact Kroneke is using Arsenal as his cash point/cash back-up whilst he ironically builds a new 4/5Bn new stadium for his Rams NFL team.
Again, it could so easily go the same way for us whereby the owners concentrate on the new Real Estate and Hotel/Entertainment complex and give minimal attention to the football beyond just getting top 4.
As i say, time will tell.

I’m not sure there is much need for a Hotel/Entertainment complex near the ground!

have a look at the land value in places like Williamsburg in the NYC from 1990 to now and you'll see that regeneration adds huge increases in land value. Tottenham is a focus for a lot of people, lead by David Lammy for regeneration.

He sounds (as he always has imo) like someone who knows full well what the clubs financial position is in relation to our rivals and, contrary to what some will have you believe, has not been stitched by Levy and the board over a lack of backing.

Though it's fair to say he clearly recognizes that in order to maintain a consistent level of challenging at the top for titles regularly that you need money to spend

They will not listen mate.

People will stay anywhere where there work, that hotel will Vacuum all the local midweek corporate business and the people will have places to dine and drink, weekends they will get the game day business, enhanced more with the NFL.

Indeed. Potentially VERY lucrative

Or the argument that the transfer budget would be effected...then they signed no-one, being the first club in years to sign no-one in a summer transfer window...

Just putting it out there for balance...:D

The jury is still out there for ENIC either way, time will tell...[/QUOTE]

You are joking :confused: i do not know how old you are but were you around in the 90's when we were mostly brick and not rated by most other clubs? Since ENIC came here we have been heading upwards and are now regarded as a top club and one who in the mix for all honours.

Yea how can the jury possibly be out on Enic? They’ve (Levy’s) worked miracles.

Indeed, its a shame that there are still a FEW fans who still think he is not doing enough.

He made that pretty clear to me, he also said that no one in La Liga are happy with it. Its perfection.

I indeed was around for the 90s @parklane1 and followed Spurs during half of the 80s.
I remember how mediocre we often were and remember us nearly going out of business.
As a club we have indeed pulled our socks up, and i am grateful for ENIC and Levyt for that.

But we are at a crunch point whereby it remains to be seen whether we are going to be a good business model for ENIC and their investments over the years or a club that can actually consistently WIN honours because we are a good business.
Look how things are down the road, whereby they are a great business but their owner is not much interested in Arsenal succeeding other than in getting top 4. We could easily go the same way.
As i say, i give ENIC a lot of credit but until we start attempting to challenge for the top honours, the jury for me is still out.
