It was always clear to anyone that has half a brain cel that debt becomes part of the sale value but at least we don't have to keep trying to explain that to numptys anymore.

Actually that's probably wishful thinking.

Enjoy being owned by a private equity firm!

And dont be duped by the commitment to spend £1.75bn over 10 years. That amounts to £1bn for a stadium, probably through borrowing, and £75m a year in transfers, which is less than you spend already

You spent £1.25bn on transfer in the last 10 years and your new owners have committed to spend at least £0.5bn less than that in the next 10....so generous

Enjoy!

Yes but football clubs don’t make other revenues to spend on players or wages, do they?

You have been duped !

Their commitment says nothing about the source of the money and its likely to be borrowing and spending of revenues earned.......its not saying its coming from their back pocket.

And when you consider Forbes value Man Utd at £3.3bn, your investor owners are not going to spend £2.5bn to buy, invest a further £1.75bn of their own money and expect to get back their total £4.25bn, and unlike Roman, they will expect a return on their money in the form of capital growth.

Mostof the LA Dodgers fans are wondering which Chelsea players will be sold to finance their next big draft signings.

I am not saying Chelsea are going to the wall, just that your financial realities will now be more normal

Thickos like this tend to forget that we are not in the same position that we were 20 years ago.

There is no harm in borrowing, the point im making, which seems to have gone straight over your head, is that it costs and needs repaying. Under Roman, it didnt. Under investment company ownership, it will!

Spurs, like any other club, had to cover off losses made during the pandemic. We borrowed from teh Government, and then paid it back and refinanced the debt, so we are paying off those losses over time. Most other clubs will be covering off their losses through borrowing. Roman covered yours and now he's not getting his debt back so you did well in this respect

Roman is getting nothing actually, not even his debt.

There are legally binding clauses in the sale details that prevent the new owners taking any profit or selling any shared in the club for ten years.

Mate I’m not interested in whatever your point is because you made it clear several comments aho you haven’t got a clue.

Focus on your own team

What's your point here? Spurs owners have injected money into the club. This is a good thing for Spurs.
