Glory appears in many guises.
Aside from the normal euphoria of making the semi finals of the planets biggest and best club competition, let’s spare a moment to appreciate the dent that will be made in the £637M debt.
Whilst this blogger resents the current obligation to various lending houses, he’s* not so belligerent as fail to see how fantastic winning money to pay it off is.
*remember where you were kids, the day Harry Hotspur went full third person.
The Champions League divvies up some €2.04billion amongst football’s elite sides.
Clubs that qualify for the knockout stage can expect to receive the following amounts: qualification for the round of 16: €9.5m per club
Tottenham Hotspur (t/a Enfield Deep Fried Retail Ltd.) will receive €12m from UEFA for qualifying for the semi-finals (after securing €9.5m for the round of 16 and €10.5m for the quarter-finals).
We would stand to receive another €15m for making the final.
As things stand, Spurs are guaranteed €54.45million, which more than suggests last season’s €61million will be eclipsed.
Uncle Joe has his eye on a new bigger and better yacht every round we go through
Fuck off.
No because you don’t have a spoon, you have the promise of a spoon with which to eat your jam tomorrow
Anyone want to borrow my spoon?
Responding to your response, I totally agree mate (see my earlier response above)
Baaa baaa Daniel is there money for any players?
No mate, no mate, i need to pay the surveyors
Theses are your words…
“For Christ’s sake wake up and smell the coffee, ENIC as I suspect you all realise are not totally stupid. A big expensive stadium won’t get paid for by the occasional NFL game or loaning it out to Liverpool once in a while. Success on the field is what will bring the financial rewards and fill the ground week after week. Maintaining a place in the top Euro competion every year is an important source of income and to do that in this day and age with at least 6 teams (at the moment) vying for 4 places will take investment”
This is EXACTLY the same toss that was trolled out at the end of last season and what happened – the only club in EPL history and the only club across every top tier in the facking world not to buy a player for the whole of a Summer transfer window. And then in January THIS YEAR, only THREE MONTHS AGO when we were bang in with a shout for the title and suffering injuries to key players we don’t even look for one single player that could help us. By your own metric Enic have failed to do exactly what you claim to know they know they need to do – it’s ludicrous mate – and you come on here to berate us for pointing out what they haven’t done and drawing attention to the success we have had being in spite of ENIC, not because of them. If you decide to come back on here try do try and bring both halves of your brain with you, tends to be grown-ups only on here.
I see Angliaspur has deemed us quote mark ‘supporters’ – with the obvious suggestion we’re not supporters at all. The very reason that I, like many of you here, question Enic’s obvious motives and crave a better playing squad is precisely because I AM a supporter, have been since the late 70s, travelling all over the country and beyond to games from my home in North west Wales, not a quote mark in sight. This Enic shower are leaving me torn, taking my passion and euphoria at wins like the other night and dropping a big fat turd on it from the black cloud they inhabit above my club, your club… our club. Everything is tainted by my anger and frustration at knowing THFC could, perhaps should, do so much more – at least have a go at doing more. The unquestioning, happy-clapping brigade is exactly what Enic/Levy want. Against my better judgement, I’ve watched all manner of videos about our new stadium, many filmed within the ‘premium’ and hospitality areas. Now surely if anyone deserves the quote mark ‘supporter’ tag it’s this lot – and Levy f***ing loves them.

After the euphoria of Wednesday night opening up this blog kinda drains it all out of you. Have I stumbled onto the home for retired undertakers or is this the usual tone of misery, doom and gloom and acidity for sad Tottenham ‘supporters’. Maybe the site should come with a health warning! For Christ’s sake wake up and smell the coffee, ENIC as I suspect you all realise are not totally stupid. A big expensive stadium won’t get paid for by the occasional NFL game or loaning it out to Liverpool once in a while. Success on the field is what will bring the financial rewards and fill the ground week after week. Maintaining a place in the top Euro competion every year is an important source of income and to do that in this day and age with at least 6 teams (at the moment) vying for 4 places will take investment in the team and support for the manager who is currently working miracles. That will hopefully lead to titles and cups. I don’t believe ENIC are blind to that. Football today is big business and business is the operative word. Some clubs are ‘lucky’ enough to be owned by ‘bottomless pockets’ in it for profit but also to climb the ‘glory ladder’. Others are run by owners with a pure profit motive. That’s the way of the world unfortunately and our club is profit led. Unless the likes of Sky get fed up with feeding the fat bellies of the football industry we will never return to the days where clubs were run by ‘supporters’
Regarding the purchase of players, are we still going on about how much will be spent etc ? here it is in a nutshell. Fuckall.
This is the truth.
We’ve lost/are losing talent.
Ageing squad and all the other clubs are getting more broadcasting rights than they’ve ever had before…
Eggsactly
We will have to spend £200m just to stand still.
1st you mother-fukcers
Happy Easter eggs..
If Poch gets us in the CL next year then there is no excuse not to spend 100M on players “without” net if you also take into account we should have 40-50m from NOT spending over two transfers! If we sell Toby and Tin Tin then that should also go in to the pot…or keep Toby and pay him and Jan big wages with the spare change..
Poch would then have a decent amount to re invest of around 200m if we sell Tin Tin, then we go and win shit! COYS…
