Repetitive bickering and point scoring about money and our transfer policy

I've seen you criticize other people's sources, but a net transfer spend from transfermarkt or similar is a good basis to judge our financial situation on?

How about having a look at the analysis of our financial reports on swissramble? Wouldn't that be a somewhat better source?

Re: **Official Other Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

Braineclipse it's evident you see what you want and don't actually read posts.

That summer we signed Gallas and VDV (Sadnro was signed months before like i said). So after qualifying for the CL league, Levy was content/happy going into that season with only galls as his signing (until VDV was thrown his way last minute in a cut price deal). If that didn't happen we would have gone in with 1 summer signing being William Gallas....going into a champions league campaign. Pienaar was a january signing.

What chairman in world football decides to not spend after finally breaking the top 4 and qualifying for the CL spots? he signed Sandro a few months beforehand and would have started the season with the sole signing of William Gallas had VDV not been thrown his way last minute.

Sure we're spend money down the years. Net 80m in the last 8.
Sure KD is refering to the mythical idea that once team qualify of the CL they can spend like there's no tomorrow.
IF you look at our turnover its was 120m before the CL season, 163m for the Cl season.
And Expenses 94m before the CL season, 123m for the CL season.
Thats an only extra 14m we got from the CL!
Lets so buy half a decent striker with that.

So what you do, is you make sure Real Madrid dont come calling and turn their heads to a cheaper option.

Because if your brilliant player is on low wage, in a frustated squad, then Madrid are going to come calling. They will smell that there is something to do.

If Modric is doing brilliantly, winning titles, then its 15m more Madrid, and more wages. And they dont come calling and turn their heads to another player.

Man Utd couldn't hold on to Ronaldo despite the fact that they had appeared in the two previous Champions League finals, winning one of them.

The idea that Modric wouldn't have wanted to join Madrid is risible.

Open the pdf and ctrl-f and search for "net debt"

You'll see the club has a net debt of 70m up from 56m the year before.

What exactly didn't I read?

Why wouldn't Sandro count just because we signed him months before?

Surely if we agree a deal in the spring, to be completed in the summer that's part of that summer's transfer budget spent and gone regardless of if we then qualify for the CL or not?

Pienaar and Khumalo were January signings, yes. Don't they count either now?

I really don't see how you can argue that we didn't spend when we did spend and the financial results showed us pretty much breaking even.

How many players do you think we should have bough with our 'huge' 14m windfall from the Champion's League?

Just out of curiosity, do you think that the analysis on the swissramble blog is lacking in quality?

Rossi22 said:
We've averaged 1.93 points per game in 2013 and 1.8 points in 2012(first half of the season). If we don't make top 4 it will go down as another Spurs bottle job when really it hasn't been.

Agreed.

Wasn't it said that the 65 points we now have after 35 games is a new PL club record? Seems like a good moment to respond with "burn the witch" ](*,)

The swiss ramble guy is alright, but he's trying to dumb it down a lot so he tends to barely scratch the surface and sticks to what he considers the 'headlines'. Which to be fair are what most football fans want to know, they don't always tell the whole story though.

It could be because he looks at a lot of teams, and can't spend too long on each though.


As for accuracy i can't tell, i've not looked through other teams accounts. Just at spurs.

KD, havnet seen you in a while young hommie. welcome back..if you were actually gone

but on the point of money...i think we do have it...i just dont think we are that eager to spend it or intend to get extorted.

its not like we offer the price then after its been agreed we take it back down. we just get out bid

Any transfers we make are essentially done with borrowed money which is paid back from future earnings.
In reality the accounts show we are 70m in debt.
