Daniel Levy - Chairman

[Bedfordspurs]

8 seems a lot, what was it last season?

£6.50
New brewery don’t forget
The food was the same stuff as last year but they have swapped some concessions around
The Korean burger was nice

Go the rooster tavern and save yourself a fortune. Bit rough though.
O'neils on euston road wouldn't be that much.
Don't really drink down there as there's not that many proper pubs anymore.

One ills was about £7 last time I was there (feb ish)

Pricing for non-football events is set by the company/promoter hiring the stadium isn’t it?
I’m sure I’ve heard for rugby (and/or maybe NFL) the pricing was quite a bit above what was charged on match days. .

The stadium for gigs is brilliant
The security staff were so switched on
The bars weren’t too busy
And … and… we got to go through a secret entrance for standing
Block 126
Where the south stand huge bar area is, there is a hidden entrance they only open for events that takes you into the pitch

 

[Grays_1890]

Not for gigs as far as I know
Yes for other events
NFL sells bud and that’s more and tastes like tinkle

It's definitely more for gigs, or at least was when my niece went to Beyonce.

Tbh I don't even compare us to those sides, I moreso compare us to the likes of Athletico, Dortmund, Monaco, the RB Clubs, Brighton, Porto, Benfica etc. The middle ranking sides who tends to absolutely maximise the resources they have, because they want to win. I don't believe Spurs ever truly do this. Our concern is about the finances first and the people who defend that no matter what frustrate me.

Good on you - have just read this debate that’s sprung up in the last couple of days and I really agree with you.

What confuses me is the passivity with which people talk about players we can’t attract. The wages we pay are the issue. I’m not sure why it’s just fine with people. Especially if our wages to turnover ratio is so much lower than the clubs we want to compete with.

I will say, if there if some sort of covenant with the banks, that would make sooooo much sense. And clearly nothing much will change.

I think those are good clubs to compare us to. Either clubs who aren't the richest in their leagues or clubs in somewhat smaller leagues looking to compete in Europe.

Levy will always want us to be financially sound, well run and with little to no risk of ending up in financial troubles. Beyond that we seem to spend the money we have to spend?

I think lower wages and more spend on transfer fees allowing us to sign a lot of highly talented young players is a good way to try to maximise our resources.

Us not spending well enough when we have paid up for more expensive players is a different thing. That should imp be a conversation about who was in charge of that.

In terms of over paying it's hard to say because my conversation is more about wages than transfer fees. If we do speak about Richy was why over priced, Gray seems expensive with price based purely on potential, Tel is high imo but as I say I'm more talking about wages rather than transfer fees.

So how much would you drop our transfer budget by to increase our wage budget?
