That's just what's left over once we sign a replacement.
Tottenham Hotspur has become the first Premier League football club to run a degree programme, with students enrolling at its White Hart Lane stadium for lectures.
The club is turning its stadium into a "mini university", offering 25 places each on two foundation degree courses – one in applied sport and community development and the other in sports hospitality and nutrition. Both could be the stepping stone to a full honours degree at Middlesex University.
Grant Cornwell, chief executive of the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation which runs the degree programme, said: "We're almost at capacity for the two courses."
Fees have been fixed at £6,000 a year, for which students are eligible for government loans as with mainstream universities.
Lectures are given by trained Middlesex University staff or expert outside lecturers.

I assume this is some sort of tax wheeze? Change ourselves into a Uni and avoid high taxes? Get round FFP by saying Adebayor is a lecturer?

Could well just be part of our programme for looking after these kids. I imagine its something of a boost to the sales pitch to these kids parents
We may be the first to get it in place, but there are a few clubs/event venues looking at this sort of thing.
The fact is a large stadium has a lot of potential revenue generating space that can be used on a non match day. So you put in a club museum, you try to maximise sales of meeting and conferencing space, perhaps you hold concerts, then what? If the plan is to make the site operational 365 days a year then Tottenham is never going to be a tourist destination, so we need as much community engagement as possible.
We are Tottenham

Nothing really of note in this article, but may be of interest to some. Chigwell gets a mention. My Mrs is an NHS Physio and gets this magazine, and as she pointed it out to me, I thought I'd share:
http://www.csp.org.uk/frontline/article/football-focus
Many physios dream of working with top-flight footballers. Ian A McMillan finds out about the reality from Spurs’ head physio Geoff Scott
‘Medical teams at professional football clubs are growing at a quite rapid rate,’ according to Tottenham Hotpsur head physiotherapist Geoff Scott -- one of five full-time physios at the club.
Mr Scott, who had a two-year spell as Fulham’s reserve team physio before joining Spurs, recently completed his eighth season with the Premier League outfit.
He spoke to Frontline at the club’s training ground in Chigwell, Essex. A number of eye-catching sports cars sitting in the car park, complete with tinted windows, suggested that some footballers had not yet departed after the morning training session
‘Clubs are realising how much we can do to help keep players fit these days,’ says Mr Scott. ‘There are around 20 of us in the multidisciplinary medical team, working with the squad of 33 professional players.’
Mr Scott explains. ‘It’s a long way from when clubs just had one or two physios. As well as the physios, we have two doctors, three full-time masseuses, and about seven full-time sports scientists. We also bring in consultant osteopaths and podiatrists when required.’
Interestingly, there is no professional rivalry with the osteopaths. ‘If a player comes from France, for example, he will be much more accustomed to seeing an osteopath than a physio. We work with the players to provide them with what they want and need.’
One of Mr Scott’s key jobs is being pitch-side at every first team match. Most players are internationals worth millions (household names include Gareth Bale, Jermain Defoe and Luka Modric).
‘When we’re competing in the Premier League and in Europe [Spurs played in the Europa League last season and will do so again this one], there’s a lot of travelling that takes me away from the training ground.’
Even when he’s elsewhere, Mr Scott continues to oversee developments affecting injured players back home. It’s a gruelling schedule that sees him working up to seven days a week.
A short but welcome summer break gives him a chance to recharge his batteries, perhaps with a trip back to his native New Zealand to catch up with friends and family.
Mr Scott’s timely intervention with Bolton physio Andy Mitchell when footballer Fabrice Muamba collapsed with a cardiac arrest during an FA Cup match last March was described in a Frontline article (‘Heart of the Matter’, 16 May, page 22).
His actions led to his appearance on television screens all over the world when the recovering Muamba thanked him before going on to the pitch to wave to fans when the two teams clashed again in May.
While technology plays a part, the football physio’s role remains very hands-on, says Mr Scott, stressing it goes beyond merely treating injuries.
‘With the younger players, in particular, there’s injury prevention work: teaching them how to become top-level professional athletes, giving advice on nutrition, training loads and being aware of their bodies, for example.’
Retired foootballers can develop physical ailments in middle age, such as arthritis. Some blame former clubs for allowing them too little time to recover from injuries. Could this happen with their counterparts today?
‘You have to remember with the senior players there is always a pressure on them to play.
It’s not that anyone would be forced to play when they are unable to, but as a professional athlete you cannot always be 100 per cent when you take the field.
‘The next game always takes priority and you can almost guarantee that the one player who’s injured is the one the manager wants more than anyone else.
At this level, the players are worth such large sums of money, there’s pressure to get them back on to the pitch as soon as possible but without compromising the players’ safety.’ fl

HAMMERS TURN TO SPURS IN SEARCH OF TRAINING COMPLEX
Any visitors to West Ham’s training ground over the last few years will know that the cramped Chadwell Heath venue is not in keeping with the club’s ambition to be an established Premier League club.
One of the first priorities mapped out by co-owners David Gold and David Sullivan when they bought the club in 2010 was to improve the training facilities, preferably at a new centre.
Long-term, the Hammers still hope to build a state-of-the-art complex on the 29-acre site they own in Rush Green, Romford, two miles from their current training ground.
But West Ham officials have also been running the rule over other potential sites, including Tottenham’s training ground in Chigwell, which they will vacate next month to move to a £40m complex in Enfield.
The Spurs Lodge site would certainly be an upgrade on the portacabins of Chadwell Heath as the east London club look to improve their facilities for both the first-team and the Academy.

Still not in there ](*,)Slight delay on finishing (the british weather!). Apparently the new move date is during the international break in September. Hope we have still been able to flash it off to potential new signings, as it is the nuts.
