There is definitely more an element of poor management rather than no ambition. Levy cares about our club but our wage model in comparison to other clubs for me has been to our detriment for years and cost of many times in bringing in better calibre players which could have made us more competitive.

Hence the need for the stadium and the revenue it will generate, unfortunately as Levy put it the pandemic has hit us harder than anyone else with £200 mill of lost revenue coupled with a highest level of debt in Europe.
Hence am in the camp to sell Kane and invest wisely in the squad.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As I mentioned earlier, if you'd built a stadium purely for football then you wouldn't have those levels of debt.

Why spend all that money on a dual purpose stadium when it's just not financially viable.

How much extra revenue will NFL bring in and how much of that will be used to service the debt instead of transfer funds?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

About £10m a game, so £20m a season. Add in the concerts, boxing and Rugby, we are expected to bring in around £40m a season - enough to service the stadium debt each year without effecting first team spending.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So approx £20m per year for the NFL games, not enough for a halfway decent player. Never going pay for itself with those returns.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
From Spurs match day revenue alone the debt on the stadium will be paid back. That's why covid fecked us up the most.

It's not £10m from every NFL game. The NFL paid £10m towards the cost of the new stadium(pitch and changing rooms) . I read we will make approx £3m for every concert and sporting event held at the stadium.

The long term aim is to have an NFL franchise team playing their home matches at the stadium. That sorf of partnership will be lucrative in many commercial ways.

We still do not have a naming rights deal for the stadium either. Levy is looking for £30m a year from that alone. That is a high price but when you are holding concerts, boxing and NFL the exposure the stadium will have demands that sort of fee.

It all adds up The stadium will be able to service it's own debt from Spurs' own matchday revenue from the prem and cups games. The concerts and sporting events may contribute some too but the revenue they generate will go into the first team as will the naming rights.

In a year or two 'without' any more lockdowns we should be one of the most richest self sufficent clubs in the country. This is the hope.

According to a Man City ITK a new bid for Kane was submitted for £130m + alot more cash easily achievable add ons in the last 48 hours. Think I read around £25m to £30m in add ons.

I think this is the reason why Kane came back.
