Tottenham might not need a bailout fund from UEFA if they cash in on Harry Kane in this transfer window.
Bloomberg reported earlier that UEFA is planning a £4.4billion relief fund for their clubs to help them cushion the effect of the coronavirus pandemic.
Tottenham is one of the worst-hit clubs in Europe as they are still paying for their new stadium and have lost millions in revenue from not being able to allow fans into the ground for football matches and other events.
They borrowed £175million from the Bank of England last year and have repaid it through refinancing from private lenders.
The return of fans means they will start making much more money soon, but Harry Kane wants out.
The England captain has told the club to sell him and he is the subject of serious interest from Manchester City.
Spurs are playing hardball and want around £150million to sell him.
Football Financial Expert, Kieran Maguire claims that if they sell Kane, they will probably not need a financial bailout such as the one from UEFA.
“I think a lot will depend what happens with Harry Kane,” he told Football Insider.
“If they suddenly have another £150m in the bank account, it’s diffiuclt to see them needing to go for a bailout from Uefa.
“Spurs have significant debt but the debt has already been borrowed on low terms.
“I would expect them to be cash generative in future years. The new stadium is after all very much focused on premium pricing.”
“So I don’t think Spurs will need to go down this particular route. But they are a club that spends a lot of time poring over spreadsheets.”
I’ll just go with 2 lilly👍
The II in the name is two LL’s….everyone spells Lilywhite with two LL’s…..
Lwt2 OK mate👍
Tapp – just googled it, when I saw your statement I thought, no way, but there does seem to be big deals out there, but that was 4 years ago…
Lwt2 I don’t know much about all that. Its just something I heard. Dunno😁
Tapp – The record for the highest amount paid for naming rights belongs to Scotiabank Arena. On August 29, 2017, a 20-year/$800 Million (CAD) sponsorship deal was reached between Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment and Canada’s Bank of Nova Scotia to rename Toronto’s Air Canada Centre
Tottenham plan/expect to get at least half a billion (in today’s money) for 20 years worth of stadium naming rights money to put towards the £650 million they owe. That’s the stadium practically paid for. This is what I’m hearing from somebody who knows. Just saying
