Ergh suits a chavvy team like Chelsea, not us though. No thanks.

Just think if that was 20 million a year after 5 years we could to sign Ndombele and pay his wages for 5 years.I’ll believe it when I see it. Coming up to 5 years without a sponsor.
That's what Daniel Levy said when he was asked about the delay in selling the naming rights when he was interviewed.The current stadium name does no harm for the club's brand building. Gets spoken every time there's an NFL game.
How long before it gets renamed the 'Kike' stadium by opposition fans?Years ago. But then we've had rumours of amazon, google, play boy...
Nike was the goddess of victory. So i'd be happy with the nike stadium.
Exactly. Our stadium has a sponsor - Tottenham Hotspur.Levy is not wrong. The NFL draws huge audiences and every game played at our stadium - or mere mention of scheduled games - sees the club name repeated numerous times to a broad audience. You can't buy that sort of advertising when it's being spoken by broadcast game announcers. If the stadium was named for a commercial product or service there's a good chance the name wouldn't get mentioned as often or as easily.
But that said, if a sponsor were to plunk down the right amount of money, the name would change. But they haven't and the upside is hearing or seeing the words "Tottenham Hotspur" being used in a beneficial way.

And that sounds beautiful. I like the Hotspur, so we are known as Tottenham Hotspur, not Tottenham or Spurs.

It's not White Hart Lane.I’d rather it be called WHL again rather than the Tottenham Hotspur stadium. Just sounds like we’re biding our time until we get a sponsor.
It's not White Hart Lane.
WHL was a unique entity. A wonderful stadium and part of our journey.
TH stadium is a wonderful stadium in its own right and a different part of our journey.
The name of the road the stadium is situated on hasn’t changed though. The Tottenham Hotspur stadium doesn’t have any emotional attachment for me. WHL does. Levy’s statement just sounds like an attempt to gloss over the fact that it’s been 5 years since we moved into the ground and we don’t naming rights sorted. We know for a fact that we’ve been trying to get it done as we appointed someone specifically for that reason.

It's not the quantity of advertising I am referring to.What a load of rubbish.
You can't but that amount of exposure?
Well yes you can. It is quite literally what advertising companies do. If Levy thinks the right offer has not come in then fine. But it is a revenue stream we are missing out on that no amount of stag do's driving go karts will make up for.
Not sure if I buy if that’s more worthwhile than having a company giving us potentially hundreds of millions of pounds over the course of 10-20 years for the naming rights.
NFL London at the Tottenham Hotspur stadiumWhat a load of rubbish.
