I'm very perplexed now, all this Bale saga has gone on since around January time and looks to be coming to it's conclusion (fingers crossed) this week, although who knows when right now! But, I'm still curious, where has all of this money from really?
Spurs signings (Estimated):
Paulinho - £17M
Soldado - £26M
Chadli - £7M
Lamela - £30M
Capoue - £8M
That is a grand total of £88M spent this summer. Not sure how much is yet to come, if any, but that is what has been done so far.
Now, surely, you can't get £88M for finishing 5th in the Premier League. It just can't be done. It's not as if this money has built up massively over years really because you spent a few Million last season. So for me, there is only one thing you have done.
Loans - It seems to me you have loaned this money from the Bank and you are banking on selling Bale so you can repay the loan back to the bank and then you are banking on getting Champions League with your current squad so you can build again next season.
But this is just my opinion. Because I don't see any other club spend this much money (without my solution) from finishing in 5th place that haven't built this up over time. Spurs haven't always been near the Top 4, sometimes dropped of as well.
So this might be the reason, but, if there is another reason, please don't hesitate to state.
Where has the money come from?

Also a tidy £4m windfall from GDS transfer to Villarreal to add to the coffers, 50% sell on fee
Assuming Chiriches, then I would like Eriksen and another target man type striker, providing we can sell Adebarndoor.

Extra tv money, an player sales, Bale going is the main reason.
At city we had the money from tevez mario tv money and getting ade Santa Cruz an other big earners off the wage bill.

Bridge being the other big earner off the books.
+ the new players not being on inflated wages.

LRF - Levy obviously needs some negotiating and financial planning lessons from you. Should give him a call

Lets look at the figures: Around £24m selling outgoing players. £54m from Sky last season plus £10m for finishing 5th. So that is £88m so far, add the £90m for Bale makes a total of £178m..............................
Outgoings Lamela £30m (although I think it might be Euros??) Soldado £26m, Paulinho £17m Capoue £8m, Chadli £9m, this makes a grand total of £90m which leaves us with a net gain of £88m and still possibly another £25m on two players which will leave us a final net gain of £63m! Simple really!!

"All Levy has to do now is announce the stadium build will start next week"
That will be some time in October (new Sainsburys open, payment down for foundations excavation work) .
