Bit out of date - but a very interesting point about the stadium buried in there - I'll post in the stadium thread.If you get a second have a read of this as we don't want to hijack the Soldado thread with financial convo. Cracking blog in general on football finances.

Sky Sports football just tweeted and it says that the Valencia coach doesn't believe Soldado will have his buy out clause met. Surely driving the price up making us pay it?
Don't have a clue what any of this means but:

Yes, Danny boy would never throw money about like that!I hate to say it mate but I've had a good look at that picture and there are slight abnormalities that make me think it could be fake.

That just considering money from the competition, how many people around the world were introduced to spurs because of that one run in CL. Being in the champions league will increase the tottenham brand which may also mean increased sponsorship and etc. As well as better players and shit.Isn't Champions League good for about £25-30m of additional income?
Say you spend £22m on Soldado with variables that can reach £30m.
You then pay him £100k/week (£5.2m/year)
If we end up getting 3-4 seasons of him banging in around 20 goals, that could really put us over the top and in my opinion makes us title challengers.
3-4 seasons = £100m on the low end of things for CL income.
-£30m if he meets the variables
-£5.2m x 4 years (£20.8m)
~ £49.2m profit off of a huge expenditure that could really be the tipping point for the club.

Something about Spanish.
borini, luis alberto, aspas... oh wait...I wouldn't rule out them just going to Luis Muriel and Sturridge as their strikers.
This is from a Valencia forum![]()
How does it pan out?
Baldini: 'Ok, I've got my finance guy with me and we say e25m.'
Valencia Guy: 'Nope, e30m'
B: 'I brought the guy with the cheques! e26m?'
VG: 'Getting close, I hear talk of add-ons, explain this.'
B: 'Iago Falque, you want him? Or a Brazilian Goalkeeper?'
VG: 'Meh, e30m up front'
B: 'Forget it e10m now, then e5m installments every 6 months for 2 years...'
VG: 'I am going to have to say ye... wait. Let's reconvene at 12pm tomorrow'
B: 'WTF? You were gonna say yes! Say YES now!'
VG: 'No... avail youself of the hookers and fine wine, see you tomorrow'
B: 'For fuck's sake, OK i'll take the 3 brunettes.'
Finance Guy: 'Can I have a hooker?'
B: 'No, you are admin. This is work, not play.'
