McFaul 35 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Well there must be some creative accounting going on either on Spurs side or our side. Our wage bill must be a lot lower than Spurs yet with player sales and 48k through the gates each home game we are still making a loss apparently. Over the last 3 or 4 years spurs have spent fucking fortunes on the transfers and wages of Keane Bassong Woodgate Krancjar Pavluychenko Defoe Bentley Palacious Gomes Hutton Dos Santos VDV Adebayor Dawson Huddlestone Corluka Kaboul Crouch Gallas Bale As for getting to the 1/4 finals of the Champions League once. How the fuck is that success? They have won 1 league cup in 2008, currently sit 3rd in their Europa League group. They haven't though. There absolute top earner is on 70k, it's a very very strict wage structure which is why it's unlikely Adebayor will be there next season on his 150k a week. They earn £20m more a year than us because of a number of factors. One is despite their lower capacity, we make about the same from gate receipts because being in London their ticket prices are more expensive than ours. People in the North East can't afford £72 a ticket for some games, doesn't make them any bigger than us but that's a fact. Also we used to be far better marketed under the previous regime, while Levy signs sponsorship deals comparable to AC Milan and Bayern, I don't know how he does it with a mediocre club like them but he does, and it just shows jews are the best at making money.

Happy Face 29 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Spurs are operating within their means; they can spend big because they're selling well. If Redknapp's ticker can't cope anymore or he gets the England job, they'll find it incredibly difficult to replace him. He's the main reason they went from also-rans to a more competitive team. I hate all this shit now though that comes each season about them being outside shots for the title. They're nowhere near good enough to mount a serious title challenge, nor do I think they will be. They are the most likely to overtake Chelsea and Arsenal into the top 3 teams however. Exactly, one good game against a woeful Villa and Arry is talking about winning the league. Trounced Liverpool and beat Arsenal too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not one good game though at all, that's where you're talking pish. They've won every game they've played this season other than against the Man Utd, Man City and Newcastle, and they've played everyone of note. They've only dropped 8 points.

Well we will see in 6 months. I've been wrong before but I think they have a few players on form at, Parker, VDV, Adebayor, Bale. Not often a players form continues for a full season at that level. Look at Rooney 18months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) And raked in 350 mill last year on their CL run. Zero success.. that would be beating Milan and reaching the quarter-finals on the first attempt then? So Spurs earned over £300m more than Barca, who won it? Did you just make that figure up? edit; ignore this post, just seen your self-correction Edited November 22, 2011 by Tecato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives the fans and players extra confidence. Deep down I'm sure he realises how unlikely it is. But you never know, it could happen. By that token we could win it also.

When Sir John Hall said in May 1993 to Ferguson "we're coming for your title",everyone thought shut up you stupid doilum, but he believed it and positivity spreads positivity, I don't see any negatives in him saying that to be honest, even if it's a bit deluded.

Mine isn't irrational their supporters are fucking arseholes, it's perfectly rational. Of the 12 big teams in this country the only clubs I respect are Man Utd and Arsenal, and even Arsenal fans are self absorbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue a sequence of good results is a better indication as to how a team is performing compared to just one game against a dreary Aston VIlla side.
