Everything is up for sale if the price is right, that's different from being actively looking for a sale.Levy himself (years ago) in an interview with garth crooks, said we are always up for sale. The price has to be right though.
So if EBITDA was £112m, and we made a £50m loss - that’s a net -£162m in depreciation, amortisation, player trading, interest and taxation.
We sold KWP for £12m, so that leaves -£174m in depreciation, amortisation, interest and taxation.
Last year amortisation was -£74m, depreciation was -£72m (mostly the stadium I believe), and interest was -£37m > £183m in total, which is pretty close to £174m.
Edit: So I think it’s mostly the stadium depreciation and interest that’s causing the loss.

By selling players for money, obviouslyHow do we prevent a repeat of these losses in future years as they are not sustainable if they keep happening obviously.

And how does that tally with building a winning team?

Never. We're not a baseball team.when was the last time we didn’t have a season over .500?
It's not cash losses. See the vid i posted. We made an operating profit.
How can you understand the intricacies if you don't understand finance?I watched the video and whilst it was interesting I can’t say I learned anything, although that is more down to me no doubt.
It would be good to have a summary (if you time) for accounting dummies like me (I’m sure I am not the only one!) as at the moment I am rather confused as to what kind of health we are in financially. No doubt a good one but personally I like to understand the intricacies.

Would be great to know how we compare with our rivals too.
You get rid of those that are not good enough for as much money as you can to recoup the "loss"And how does that tally with building a winning team?
FWIW my question on what made up the increase in commercial rev is answered here:Sure sure, but those pre season tournaments would have been done in the previous financial year as well, along with the stadium tour and skywalks I think? Although probably under Covid restrictions.
Was just trying to rationalize the £31m increase compared to July 2020 - June 2021 accts ? The difference would be these non footballing events I think?
The 10-year NFL deal apparently allows Spurs to keep catering income, though not the gate receipts.”
