MY FAVOURITE FOOTBALL BOOK - THE GLORY GAME https://ninetythreetwenty.com/blog/my-favourite-football-book-the-glory-game/ Anyone also read it? Yes. Hunter Davies, who also wrote a great book about the Beatles. One of Bill Nicholson's later seasons in charge, early 70s. It is one of the best footy books about, no doubt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just googled and he supports Queen of South, Carlisle and Spurs. He's a Carlisle lad (from the book IIRC). There used to be a thread on footy books. Perhaps another one should get started. I'll reccommend One Hump or Two by Frank Worthington. Not a literary masterpiece but a good fun read and not your usual player biog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't Mourinho been delivering meals on wheels to old dears in Enfield for about a month now? Fair play to him. I wonder if he gets the Young Man treatment (Harry Enfield, ironically, and Paul Whitehouse). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs have reversed their 'Furlough' plans. All non-playing staff will receive full wages for April and May.

All the below figs are taken from Swiss Ramble The debt is actually 658M (where did you get the closing in to 1 billion quid from ?) but what is 342m between friends of which the interest was 26m last season. They actually have a cash balance of 123m so should cover Players wages etc. The £87m profit before tax was easily the highest in the Premier League in 2018/19, more than twice as much as the closest challenger #LFC £42m, followed by #MUFC £27m and #WWFC £20m. This is a great achievement, especially as half the clubs in the PL have posted losses. #THFC 2018/19 profit of £87m is actually the fourth highest ever reported in the Premier League. In fact, Spurs’ prudent business model means that they have been responsible for three of the top five PL profits, including the record £139m in 2017/18 and £80m in 2013/14. #THFC have been profitable for the last 7 seasons, making an impressive £412m in that period, averaging £59m a year. They made £226m profits in the last two years alone, while the last time they reported a loss was back in 2012 – and that was only £7m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he means the cost of the stadium was 1bn. Screenshot from swissramble twater on 8 April refers to cost of stadium and training centre being 1.3bn.

Here ya go Mr Accountant, https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/2020/march/financial-results-year-end-30-june-2019/ These investments have been financed by profits made by the Club, advanced sponsorship monies and bank finance, principally from Bank of America Merrill Lynch International, Goldman Sachs Bank USA and HSBC Bank plc. At 30 June 2019, the Club had net debt of £534m (2018: £360m). Subsequent to the year end, our total debt of £637m was converted in September 2019 into a mix of long-term maturities with an average life of 23 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deej Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Perhaps you need reminding the possibilty which may follow 1/No European places next season approx 40 mil loss 2/A midtable squad to support at best 3/Harry Kane to depart 4/Mou to join Kane another (approx )40 mil pay out 5/A half filled stadium 6/Old Bahamas Joe bail out no way !!!! that.s why with Loser Levy he has placed Totts FC on the #Never Never# both can walk away with their pockets full and smiling and Totts broke????

Amazon deal 25 mil a year for Stadiums naming rights over 10 yrs which may plug a tiny hole in Totts present financial mess and Help the Post Covid 19 fall out which will come in due course My call is if Amazon bought Totts lock stock and barrrell you would have a very good reason to Crow about ???? but you still have Loser Levy and Old Bahamas Joe milking the club???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokie36 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Plenty of clubs in a worse state than ours to worry about Deej....at the end of this there will be a hard time for many and players moving will be tough as wages offered will defo be less than what they are currently on.

I think this C-17 virus has brought things sharply into perspective. NHS workers denied a pay rise for years while footballers earn a fortune. There could be changes after this.
