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

    Most likely a sale and leaseback. Not uncommon at all - but, given amortisation of infrastructure etc isn’t included in PSR calcs, then it would make sense if profits on sale proceeds of said assets were also excluded. Surely the Premier can’t be that stupid?

    Can we take a moment to laugh heartily at Everton?

    I’m not surprised no other buyer has been found. You’d have to be a basket case to take them on. Them building a £500m stadium was completely reckless, and an absolute gamble which didn’t pay off.

    Can we take a moment to laugh heartily at Everton?

    https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27336620/everton-administration-777-partners/ At risk of going into administration tomorrow morning if 777 can’t agreeement on extending a £158m loan from MSP. Not exactly clear to me whether that extension approval is from the Premier Leavue, or MSP. The...

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    There is a bit of a bloody difference between government concessions (benefits) to pensioners, most of whom have been tax payers and paid for those discounts for years in advance - and a private company giving a discount to an in demand event. I have no concerns with government handouts. In...

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    By increasing the value of the club. More equity, hopefully - brings growth, and success both on and off the pitch. Made up numbers - but let’s say - they invest £1bn today for 25% of the club, with is worth £4bn Their investment is used wisely and successfully. 10 years down the line the...

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    I disagree. Why should somebody get a discount simply because of their age? They are utilising the same services etc. As the club pointed out - the % of ‘senior citizens’ with concession tickets has risen 4 fold in the 5 years we’ve been in the new stadium. It either becomes a burden on the...

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    It’s pretty much operating profit (£135m) which is the important figure. The loss before tax includes depreciation and other non-football related expenses which don’t count towards PSR.

    Ange set for Aussie homecoming as Spurs to play at MCG … three days after PL season ends

    Manchester United done it last year - at the MCG in Melbourne, same time. Bayern Munich were scheduled to do it the year before but it got cancelled at the last moment. I think the Melbourne / Sydney games are timed as part of a festival of football promotion by the A-League and timing wise...

    Ange set for Aussie homecoming as Spurs to play at MCG … three days after PL season ends

    That’s great - Perth is still a 4 or 5 hour flight from Melbourne.

    Ange set for Aussie homecoming as Spurs to play at MCG … three days after PL season ends

    Odd one. Newcastle are also playing A-League All Stars 2 days later at Marvel, and Arsenal Women and playing A-League Women All Stars. our ad says ‘capped off by’ the game against Newcastle. So could there be more still to come out?

    Ange set for Aussie homecoming as Spurs to play at MCG … three days after PL season ends

    Fly 24 hours and then play almost straight away? probably going to wait until they’ve sold 100,000 tickets at $100 a go, and then spring the surprise that it’s the women’s team 😁

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    Selling 25% of the club wouldn’t directly provide any funds to clear the stadium costs. The money from the sale goes to ENIC, not the club.

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    He allegedly demanded the likes of Conte at Spurs. Harry being Harry - you can guarentee he’ll come out with some spiel about their great relationship and how good it is to be able to work with such a fantastic coach and proven winner. Can’t see Bayern fans putting up with it though. A...

    Dele Alli at Everton

    Skipp, PEH, Lo Celso, Sess, and he’s always been good mates with Maddison. He clearly still has a strong tie with the club. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him training with us in the summer whilst he looks for his next opportunity.

    The VAR Thread

    And a joke from Webb that it’s not in VAR’s remit as it wasn’t related to a goal, a penalty or a red card. How is it not related to a bloody goal? He scored by moving the ball from where it was supposed to be, and conning the ref by moving the foam.

    Will FFP finally put spurs where they belong?

    N Newcastle have spent £400m since the Saudi’s came in. £400m. Now they can’t even consider a £6m loan fee. They are in trouble. £75m loss last year. They will breach FFP this season unless the make a lot of sales.
