Levy's Plan

[Jurgen the German]

Surprised to see people say they wouldn’t be bothered if the likes or Eriksen and Son weren’t here anymore considering they are arguably two of our most consistent attacking players of the last decade. Certainly two of our best attacking midfielders.

I love Eriksen, but if he does not sign a new contract we have to sell him in the summer whether we want to or not.

So looking at just one aspect of all that....the cost of borrowing/repaying the capital cost. Using his figures of a 25 year period paying some capital down and the annual interest cost totalling £48m approx pa, could you not conclude that a decent shirt deal could cover this ie £48m a year up from £30m a year but still below Chelsea s £60m a year......leaving TV, matchday revenue, merchandise, prize money, naming rights, nfl, concerts and events etc all available (for shiny toys)??

Thats pretty much what I thought.

If we got 40-50m from Nike, not ground breaking but enough to cover the debt.

And thats before any naming rights deal, which was always intended to take a big chunk off the top.

When you think of it, it's bizarre that just a shirt deal could pay off your state of the art stadium.

Are naming right and shirt deals performance related.?..as a 15 year deal and then you do a Sunderland for example is a bit pony (pun intended)

 

[nayimfromthehalfwayline]

I would imagine as with any deal there could be clauses and breaks, it really just depends on how it was agreed.

Interesting piece here about High Road West. Not anti-Spurs enough to go in the clickbait thread - although the Guardian’s prissiness about development, offshore registration and regeneration shines through - and not really about the stadium, so I guess it goes here. And nothing very new, probably, to people who have been following all this. Personally, I hadn’t realised quite how exposed Levy was to political machinations in Haringey and how much he owned on the other side of the High Road.

It’s one argument against an early exit: a US entrepreneur might understand the NFL + EPL opportunity, but it would be a stretch for someone like that to want to haggle with local authorities about the exact meaning of weird English concepts such as affordability and consultation.

I am intrigued.
When Levy sacked Ange he said winning the Europa League is not enough, he wants to win the League and Champions League. I admire the sentiment, I really do. I am sure we all want to win both trophies.

I am just intrigued as to how he plans to go about it. What proven players does he plan to authorise expenditure on to achieve this goal?

He never said when so that’s straight away something to hold back on

Hopefully he’ll be as warmly received as this by Spurs fans after we win our 7th CL title under his stewardship…

It was a double act version of Levy's 'poor little old me' video of 2021 when we were severely ballsing up the managerial search. I personally found it to be a response to critics, more than an actual display of ambition.

I'd be stunned if we did either under Levy. I felt the Europa League was done very much in spite of Levy.

But, who knows, maybe the sun can rise in the west...

"We'll never win another trophy under Levy".

We win another trophy under Levy.

"Oh, but that was nothing to do with Levy".

Nah, I don't. THFC collectively won the EL. Every single one of those employees. Levy is accountable for everything below him in his organisation and he should also get the credit for success .

Where there was an over-rotation of focus on one person, it was with Ange. It was as if Ange had played the full 90 mins and scored the winning goal if you read some accounts of the final. He played his position though.

Its always the way, the world is full of bellends.

This only makes sense if people were saying this prior to 2008, which i doubt was the case though very happy to be proved wrong

Edited my post.
Sentiment still stands.

I mean that’s quite obvious looking at our transfer activity under levy.

I want to win the euromillions but won’t stump up the money to buy a ticket… it’s unlikely I will win it with this strategy. So instead of saying that I’m going to win the euros I’ll just stay quiet instead of sounding like a dingbat.

I'm so tempted to like this post ...

...but i will wait until just after the close of the transfer to review if Levy's words are backed by actions (or not...)

But Levy is buying a ticket in fact he is buying multiple tickets and has put us a financial position to buy even more tickets which he has done.

But just like the Euro millions the odds are stacked against us because of financially doped clubs.

Except when a manager gets sacked.

This post is a bit desperate to say the least.
