    Spurs finances report 22/23 (swissramble writeup)

    Yep, that all makes sense. I wanted to make sure I wasn't wildly off with the reading of it! As you say, the 23/24 results will be the big sale of Kane in amongst greater amortised contracts, plus the reduction of some high wages I would suppose. And what will be a roughly £65m sized hole in...

    Spurs finances report 22/23 (swissramble writeup)

    Am I right in thinking that the table here shows our profit for PSR purposes is £103m, but that includes £75m of leeway based on the Covid seasons? And that this £75m is not going to be applicable in the next accounting period? I know many of us have the feeling that we are in a strong position...

    Mohamed Simakan

    I would suggest that if we want to compete with City, acting like them would be the worst thing to do. Their underlying financial situation is different to everyone else in the league, so taking a different approach is going to be better way to compete. City shouldn't be used as a benchmark...

    Financial Fair Play (general thread)

    And as more clubs within that 20 are threatened by the rules, there are going to be more potential votes to soften those rules. As fans we kind of buy into the idea of black and white rules, and loads of clubs being handed points deductions. But if the long-term objective is to level the...

    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    Another thing to remember is that it doesn't really matter how many points the 4th placed team got in seasons gone by - what matters more is how many points the 5th place team got. That's the total that's more important if we look at things historically. For example, last season saw Newcastle...

    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    I think that's a real stretch in your thinking. Draws are not that common (I believe around 15% of the season so far) so I would suggest that those draws you are predicting are less "calculations" and more just games where you can't predict the result. And it's totally fine to not be able to...

    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    Totally fine to have an opinion, and of course anything can happen. It would be interesting to hear where you think the points swing is going to come from. We play the same teams apart from us having Wolves, Villa, West Ham, Forest when they have Everton, Brentford, Bournemouth, Brighton. The...

    Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Chelsea thread

    Whilst that is true, it is also true that having academy players make the grade is still the cheapest way to build a squad. The Chelsea situation isn't entirely unique... I think it's just extreme and is throwing more light on the rules than should be normal. Selling your best academy players...

    The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

    No matter what your views on Levy might be, top level football clubs have to be successful businesses now in order to be successful on the pitch, bar a few exceptions. It's the nature of the beast. If that is going to wind you up, then I fear you will be frustrated as a football fan. I do think...

    The Naming Rights Thread

    You're probably right about certain companies not wanting to get involved based on existing sponsors, but that would be true of all clubs, and it's not like there's a shortage of companies in the world! I think part of the hold up will be that we want a partner rather than just a sponsor. It...

    Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Chelsea thread

    It makes you wonder if they will go down the Barca route of selling off future this/that/the other in order to avoid getting hit with a penalty that would relegate them. They will surely be waiting for the Everton/Forrest judgements and then come up with something that keeps them in the league...

    Will FFP finally put spurs where they belong?

    The City case will be different because it's not strictly about what they spent on players... it's more about them not being clear about what they were doing and not cooperating with investigations. Trickier stuff to prove and there will be loads of fighting from City's side. If Chelsea get...

    Will FFP finally put spurs where they belong?

    I'm totally with you in terms of those arguments being shite when it comes to what Chelsea have done. I just imagine that those judgements are going to set a precedent, which from my limited understanding is a huge deciding factor when you get into the legal nitty gritty. There is a universe in...
