Spurs Make 53m in Prem League TV money

[AllSeeingEye]

Sixth highest earner.

This is why I dont rate Barcelonas greatness.

Our TV money is shared equally. If Manchester United got greedy and negotiated their own tv deal they would blow the Spanish teams out of the water.

Barcelona are 500m in debt, Madrid the same. Their TV deals run into the hundreds of millions when the other Spanish sides get around 5m each.

Judging by the face on Platini last night I dont think he is an admirer either.

 

[RichSpur58]

Good that we got on 7m less than Utd.

 

[brett.spurs]

Now put that towards two strikers.

Yeah, that is unfair. La Liga need to change that. Because in the league Barca and Real are miles ahead of everybody else and I can't see that changing in the near future.

The other thing with that list is how many of those clubs are using that money to stay afloat, and how many will use it to buy new players?

Id say 75% of the clubs listed absorb that cash to pay debts straight away.

 

[bubble07]

add that to the league position money and its over 60m generated which would all go to the players 2010/11 wages.

Gate receipts should hopefully all be reinvested in players

We need to secure a big name striker in June to send a message to the rest of the squad about our ambitions.

Is this money which is paid at the end of the season (now, in other words) or do we get paid this money throughout the season?

 

[brett.spurs]

I think it's monthly.

To be fair to Barca though they have hardly bought their success.

To be fair to Barca though they have hardly bought their success.

I agree with this. Most of their team have come through their youth academy. Valdes, Pique (though he re-signed from Man Utd), Puyol, Busquets, Pedro, without mentioning the main three Xavi, Iniesta and Messi.

They've spent big on Mascherano (£22m), Dani Alves (£23m) on David Villa (£35m?) apart from that nothing really huge.

United have spent more on Berbatov, Ferdinand and Rooney.

I guess the money allows them to pay Messi the reported £250k per week he's on though!

Maybe take a look at their wage bill. Average of 97k a week.

Zlatan(£40m+Eto'o) plus a whole host of £15m~ players.

They didn't really pay £40m+Eto'o for that donkey did they?! Kinell!!!

Three quarters of the CL winning team are youth team players though. Not many other clubs can boast that kind of record and have success with it.

 

[Rout-Ledge]

Maybe take a look at their wage bill. Average of 97k a week.

The majority of their players emerged from their own youth system. They subsequently became the very best in the world, and they were rewarded at a level comparable to the top earners in the profession.

If that's buying success, there is no success that does not come bought.

If Chelsea bring through all their youngsters over the next five years would we say that they hadn't bought their success? Probably not because the bottom line is that those youngsters wouldn't be there without Abe's money just like the Barca boys wouldn't be there without the money gained by the skewed payments in Spain. I accept that this argument would carry more weight if Chelsea actually could bring the boys through but I think the point stands anyway.

On the table there is a facilities column does anyone know what this is?

I would suspect thats payments to use the facilitys at each ground, press room, seats, exec boxes etc etc etc. Could well be very wrong though.

The club will definitely go for that idea .

The Spurs shop will be able to charge double for printing an extra line of letters on the replica shirts .
