How much is the new stadium expected to generate in gate receipts a year?
How many NFL games a year are they expected to host? £120m is a huge sum of money for them to commit to so i'd imagine it must be a very long agreement with them?

"The stadium plans were to be adapted to allow the grass playing surface to be ‘floated’ on a bed of air and magnets (very clever technology I can’t hope to explain) and be moved under the South Stand into an artificial environment complete with lighting and water to keep the playing surface in top condition, underneath these there will be a state of the art 4G surface for playing NFL on."

Bloody hell that's some crazy stuff.
Gonna be playing your home games at an American Football ground, congrats!
Well it's actually the other way around. American football team will play a game at a football ground. I think 40+ games of football vs 1 or 2 yearly american football games would suggest it's a football ground first.

If an American football pitch was bigger than a football pitch you be right, but alas it's not.
I don't know the answer to your first question.
The agreement with the NFL - so far as it has been publicly announced at least - is for a minimum of 2 games per year for 10 years. But if the NFL are putting £120m into the stadium construction costs then I'd guess - and it's only a guess - that some kind of deal has been reached for them get some of the income generated by the various non-football entertainment events that the retractable pitch will allow the new stadium to hold ... rock concerts and the like.
I think the plans sound good. I don't think you'll be beholden to the NFL nor the whims of anyone else to any great extent. These days you have to make compromises to a whole range of people for money reasons (i.e. having your players turn up in shitty adverts) but I don't see anything in these plans that would put Spurs at a disadvantage on that score.
The interesting things in that article for me are your receptiveness to Safe Standing and your insistence that you wouldn't have played in the Olympic Stadium even if you'd got the land. In any case I think you've dodged a bullet as you have a good plan in place for your own ground and have avoided disgruntling your fans by moving out there.
I'd imagine an NFL game would generate about £5m a game in gate receipts at a 60,000 seater stadium. Its great business from Spurs to get the NFL on board and will go a long way to help pay for the stadium. Just seen that Spurs generated £41m in gate receipts last year, really thought that would be higher. Arsenal generate about £100m a year so would expect Spurs to be a similar amount so the stadium. So it looks like Spurs will generate about £50m extra season from gate receipts and about £30-35m a year from a stadium sponsor.
Lots of ifs and buts if Spurs can remain competitive over the next 7 or 8 years and with the uncertainty of Wenger leaving Arsenal will bring Spurs could really close the gap on Arsenal.
Yeah its very exciting. Fingers crossed it all works out that way.
I think they'll find it very hard to hold onto Pochettino for another 2 full seasons. He'll be taken by an elite club I reckon, Real Madrid or somewhere like that.
I know Zidane hadn't done much as a manager, but I wonder if Pochettino has done enough to get that job. Finishing 3rd with Tottenham is fine, but they're close to being knocked out of the CL already and he hasn't won a trophy either. I think he'll need to show a bit more before Real Madrid wants him, and I do hope that they'll go for Klopp instead.
5m per game from NFL, based on what?
Not being confrontational but i find that wildly optimistic.
Looks perfectly feasible

Welcome to the Europa League!
Not if they lose the last game.
Aaaand they're out. Not an easy group but also not the strongest, expected more from them.
Didn't @GlastonSpur had a bet with someone that they'll go through?

Poor effort from them, thought they'd fare decently.
Think I'd rather see CSKA beat them in the last game, though there's every chance we won't qualify for knockouts of Europa League anyway.
Lloris is wasting away there.
Who cares, still the only unbeaten team in the English leagues...
That was an awkward CL campaign.
I think Pochettino is too naive for the Champions League. To go to a hard away game to a tough team and put practically zero experienced side to play end to end football with the likes of Bernardo Silva and Lemar is very ambitious. They could have lost about 6-1 if it wasn't for Lloris. Maybe next year.
True, though I doubt they'll lose to CSKA.
Wonder if Poch cares about the Europa League this year?
It was me. £50 bet. I have confirmation on PM chat but cannot find this on the forum though.
Typical Spurs really. Bottlers.
Are they out or Europa League for them??
To be fair, they were missing three of their regular back four. Eriksen didn't start. Lamela is injured and Kane has just returned from injury.
I think Pochettino wanted out of it based on his selection.
They're in a great position in the league, so I'd be trying to not win last group game. Top 4 is achievable.

Golden boy @Olly
They lost a load of ranking points by not getting out of the group.
Unless they get to at least the semis in the Europa League they will be in Pot 3 again next season.
PL teams need to take the Europa league seriously.
So they deiberately go out of the Champions League to focus on finishing top 4 to get into the Champions league to deliberately go out of the Champions League?
At least they can increase the coefficients a little bit more in the Europa.
Sounds like Arsenal, qualify for the CL only to get knocked out in the second round and go back to fighting for qualifying for the champions league.
The Europa League is a long unpredictable road to Champions League football. It's probably our best bet at automatic Champions League football though.
Spurs are still in with a reasonable chance at finishing inside the top 3 again. They've done well to stay undefeated, given the injuries to Kane, Alderweireld, Lamela and Dele Ali.
it's a vicious (Spurs) cycle.
Well they rested Walker, Vertonghen and Eriksen so that's their own fault. They have Chelsea at the weekend so had that in mind I guess, but you work so hard to get into the CL and throw it away by resting first team players for a must win game. Silly.
Playing their home games at Wembley is what's done them, serves them right for chasing ticket sales over progression
