Could it be we might just be better run than what media give us credit for.
So this summer when all said Spurs are a joke we have
Signed
Juventus Director of Football
Highly rated academy coach from Everton (a supposed rival)
Possibly secured new training kit sponsor
Possibly secured stadium naming rights
Secured one of the non-football events at our stadium
Been linked to; Serie A defender of the year with personal terms agreed
Potentially signing one of Spains most talented and capped youngsters
Signed Rated Italian capped Goalkeeper on a loan with little upfront fees
Son one of our most influential players signs a 4 year deal
Not saying all these things will happen or we are doing great but I'd rather be Tottenham than many other Clubs.
Even if Kane leaves I have faith (misguided or not) in Nuno and Paratici to make the best of the mess Jose left with us being in the European Conference and navigating through post Covid-19 financial decimation of most industries.
Despite all the hate from media..

What Billy cannot get his head around is that the profits are put back into the club. We don't make a profit and then the owners trouser it all.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The only money taken out of the club by the owners in the last 5 years was the repayment of a £40m loan associated with the stadium
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Levy paid himself £6m a year. He highest salary of any CEO in the prem. Not sure how much dividends he has had over the years as well.
£6m a year and not a trophy in sight. Wake up mate.

Of course they are, it is not too log ago we posted record profits and did not sign a single player for 18 months.
All you Levyista`s and ENIC fanboys can suck them off all you want, but their way of running Tottenham Hotspur does not put trophies in the cabinet, that has been proved over and over again.

Where did I say the owners take money out of the club, they are making plenty of money out of Spurs via property development and increasing the value of the club (with the clubs own money, not their own).
The issue is they do not put enough money into making us a competitive team. They are too risk averse and not willing to speculate to accumulate.
In case you have forgotten, ENIC have delivered us 1 poxy league cup in 20 years, that is failure on an epic scale.

Actually it was successive managers and players that failed to win trophies.
CEO’s of commercial companies with turnovers similar to Spurs earn many millions per year. You obviously have no issues with players earning £10m a year, managers earning £12m plus a year, yet the man in charge of everything earning far less is the one taking money out of the club.
Also do not forget Levy has invested his own money in Spurs via his 28% shareholding in Enic. I also think we do not fully understand the machinations and processes within THFC which enable the company to function both ethically and with fiscal responsibility.

Ted………/read my comment above about salaries.
You obviously expect the CEO of a multi million pound organisation to work for peanuts then?

But you have to include it in money spent.
And it should not be included in "spent on the club".
ENIC use WHL as a cash cow...admit it!

He’s the highest paid chairman in the country, by a considerable distance

Also successive owners. Our poor trophy record pre dates ENIC and our PL record before them saw us average about 11th.

Levy pays himself a decent wedge. £4m basic. Granted but he is CEO and owner.
Show me where else money is taken from the club.
in contemplating, Try and think why we have a £1bn stadium but debts associated with it are about £550m. How does that work?
How did we pay for the training and academy centre? World class facility by the way that also generates significant income outside of THFCs use if it.
Once you've figured out and shown us how the ownership have syptherned 10s millions in to their own pocket (you won't because they dont) ask yourself what is bad about having a new stadium.that will generate massive amounts of cash? Is this not the desire of every owner? to increase revenues, to make their clubs more competitive?
The anti ENIC lot peddle all sorts of myths about where the money goes and the facts are it goes into the club. Prove me wrong. Go on. I am very willing see evidence.
As far as I am aware, the club spends what it earns. We may not have owners who pump in massive free loans that wil never get paid back but that is the norm for almost every club. We cannot expect this but it seems to be the aspiration of many, dreaming about having a sugar daddy.
