Happy St Totteringham Day - NOT

I think the big factor you're discounting completely is commercial tie ups. Levy will realise the only way you can compete with the money united make from endorsements is by being successful and keeping your team together. Chelsea are only just signing deals that get close to those levels

the players will only go if he doesn't feel it will have a detrimental effect on revenues overall, not just on the field

Ive already agreed that selling Ali for big money would possibly be sanctioned,

I disagree that selling players for £150 mil would make sense from a business point of view if that happened Spurs would lose there best players and would struggle to compete for C/L places, which where the big money is.

Keeplng the Squad together would imo bring in far more than the £150 mil. You quote because we would have income from the C/L

Second place in the Prem last season picked up just over £100 million.

Getting out a group in the CL was good for in excess of €40 million.

Add in gate receipts of €35 million, and merchandising £60 million for Spurs. Considered to be "generally flourishing" financially.

Don't think they need to sell.
 
It's highly feasible both Kane and Alli will be wanted at ludicrous fees and it'll be a clear indication of Levy's intent on how successful he thinks Spurs can be and if they do go (as their best players in my opinion) who they'll spend the money on to replace them. I would dearly love to see the squad remain intact with some good additions and really get a chance to challenge again next season. Let's not forget, it's not over this year either.

6th picks up just £95mil this year maybe a bit more depending on how many times they have been on telly

Spurs with this current squad didn't get out of the group so will have earned around 12 mil euro plus the market pool which could be around 10mil more

The gate receipts will still be the same as will the merchandising

So if Levy sells a couple of star players - for example they sell Dele Ali for £70/80 mil and Walker for £40/50 - they have more money than they could earn even winning the CL and Prem but still have a squad that would get into the top 4 - so in a business sense selling the odd high profile player for a lot of money would make a lot of sense

So the value of both players you've raised in a couple of hours and now have a squad capable of staying top 4 from yesterday having reached their level and will be back down the PL in a couple of years :rofl: back tracking much? :rofl:

I don't get why you are labouring this point of Spurs selling their top players. Maybe Liverpool should sell Lallana and Can for the very same reasons.

I haven't said they "should" sell or that they need to sell the players - not once has that ever been the point.

The simple fact is that when certain clubs come calling for other clubs top players then 99% get those players. The talk has been that Levy won't sell the top players - where as imo if they are that good then the top clubs will come calling and because Spurs like many other clubs aren't in that elite club group will end up selling. It happens every summer and to all the teams bar the obvious - it's not about "needing or wanting" to sell them.

They would obviously love to keep the players there at Spurs on the wages they get because potentially it's a squad that can win the title - but realistically I don't see it happening because Spurs just lots of other clubs aren't able to keep those players.

So if Barca come calling for Lallana or Can or Courtino Liverpool will sell.

Do you want my address ? Maybe my phone number ? My place of work ?

At what level does this obsession with what I post go to ?

Will I expect you to turn up at my club one day to have a go at me because of something I post ?

You have done nothing but attempt to turn this thread into a flame war - every single other poster told you that you were wrong and seeing something that isn't there but you go on and on and on and on and on - anytime I post there you appear 2 mins later - it actually quite disturbing to see someone who is that obsessed with what another poster says. I think you maybe need to speak to someone to get over it because I'm pretty sure it's not doing you any good - maybe the first step is to put me on ignore so that you don't have to get offended with every single post i make.

Either way do something to stop this constant hounding - it's childish and pathetic

Apologies to everyone else but I reached the limit and it was getting too much

With the right price unfortunately they will - that's realistic , can't hide away from that - don't want them to be sold or need to sell them but when a Barcelona or Madrid comes calling not many clubs stop them buying who they want.

Happy for you to list all these posters that told me I was wrong.

No mention of the posts in other threads were I've complimented or agreed with you?

This thread you turned bitter from fun.

Only other thread I've made a comment on about you is the Kelvin D*ckhead thread when you thought it was ok to badger SILH for a response then ignored it, that imo is bad mannered.

As for the other football thread you give it out as well, let's not try the innocent card.

PS Get the mods to check your settings, I thought I was on ignore
 
Some good points made on both sides.

No doubt, Spurs are on the up both on and off the pitch. The new ground can be a game changer, depending on what the levels of pay-back on loans is per season. They will also get more income from price per seat, and corporate boxes than most/all clubs in the north. Great manager, young, vibrant team, playing very attractive football, and also able to defend which only two other teams can do well in the prem at the mo (Chelsea with their back 8 :whistle:, and United).

BUT.

Wembley home games next season, CL , and some players who could be poached.

Also, if they did remain trophyless next season, would they be able to keep Poch - the biggest catalyst, for where they are now.

Oh aye, and this thread reminds me of an old footy song "sing when your winning..........:thup:
