you actually think that? Why didn't you invest in new players this Summer then? I know Poch wanted new signings if everything is fine and dandy?
Come on mate. Of course you would be the most profitable clubs in the entire Prem. You are registered in fecking Bahamas for a reason.
If you want to talk about crippling how much did you spent in the transfer window this year? What about next year? How does your wage structure compare to the other top 6 teams?
Do you think those 100m you keep banging about will be put to use right away to bring in top players?
Next year Toby's contract will run out, Eriksen will have 1 year left on his. You have to raise your wage bill, raise the fees you pay to agents, transfer budget and on top of that also service debt and interest.
You are making it out that you will have no downside as soon as next year as it is only upward trajectory since you step on the new stadium.
You display your ignorance I'm afraid. Spurs - Tottenham Hotspur Ltd - are not registered in the Bahamas. Our registered office is Lilywhite House, 782 High Road, London, N17 0BX, which is the new building that adjoins our new stadium and is linked to it by a pedestrian bridge.
You're living in cloud cuckoo land if you actually think that Spurs will have to pay £100m per year - around 25% of our entire projected income (and nearly one-third of our income as record in in the most recent financial statement) - in debt/interest payments.
Toby's contract does not run out next year, as Spurs have the option to extend it. Eriksen? Well, similar things have been said about Kane, Pochettino, Son etc … all of whom have signed new contracts this summer, so don't be surprised if the club announce that Eriksen has done the same.
So we have already raised our wage bill from the new contracts issued, with more such announcements to come. And the main point here is that keeping most of our squad and manager together is far more important than signing the new players that so many are obsessed about.
I don't know why we didn't sign any new players - I certainly expected one or two. But there are many possible reasons other than some alleged lack of money. It could be, for example, that we simply couldn't get the players identified at a price that Levy and Pochettino considered reasonable, and so preferred to keep their powder dry until prices drop, which I believe they will. And nor do I consider failing to sign Grealish or Zaha or whoever as that important, given that we already have a strong squad IMO.
And after all, United mostly failed to get the players they wanted, despite having bags of money, so a lack of funds it not necessarily the reason for a lack of signings.
Stadium debt payments are a downside, of course, but far outweighed by the net positives stemming from the new stadium
