If spurs are going or close to a billion we are a total bargain.

 

Exactly. £350m, spend £50m on the first team and bring in a new manager, we'd be around Spurs in the league with a 50k stadium already operational. Our merchandise is artificially low due to people not wanting to spend money that goes direct in to SDs pockets. Everything would shoot up, no doubt in my mind we'd be a more profitable club without Ashley here.

Excellent points. Just need a billionaire now. I am sure if Ashley was serious about selling he could find one.

There is absolutely huge potential at a third of the price of spurs, with a stadium already in place.  Very easy for an owner. Wouldn't have to spend anywhere near a billion to do it

 

I just can't see it being anything other than a figure plucked out of a reporter's arse.

 

Spurs are stuck in a no man’s land below a top 4-5 that, other than the occasional blip, will be sewn-up for the next decade, minimum. There’s an expectation that they should be pushing on into the top four, but It would take a massive investment and a big slice of luck to move them up to that level. There clearly aren't any more abramo-sours out there willing to spunk that sort of money without any hope of a financial return and there's no real money to be made from Spurs.

WE know all this - potential buyers either don't or don't accept it...to them, we are a club in a rust bucket area of fallen industry(they think of Detroit if they are Yanks)whereas Spurs are in London, can attract a higher-paid fan, therefore will pay higher ST prices & buy more goods and will be more attractive to foreign fans.

I know much of it isn't true, but that's what they think and lets face it, as I said on another thread our gates would drop like a stone if ST prices were raised without an improvement in football.

1 billion pounds on a football club :lol:

 

f*** the world.

for reference Manchester United, global brand and commercial superpower in the football world cost the Glazers £200m less.

 

The LA Clippers, in the midst of a shitstorm and a team that's second fiddle to the Lakers, went for $2b.

 

It's the state of the sports world at the moment, primarily because of the TV rights deals which will continue to rise as long as it's the most valuable programming on cable companies and TV networks.

 

If the PL was a closed league the clubs would be worth even more.

this is the problem, people from outside the region think we are still flat caps and whippets along with fallen industry, whereas Newcastle is one of the most beautiful cities i know, tremendous character, architecture, great genuine people, modernised and cultured with some of the most naturally beautiful surrounding areas in the country such as Northumbelrand and Durham. Just look at the spectacular view on the Quayside with all of the bridges, old buildings, the old Baltic flour mill and the Sage as a backdrop.

 

i'd pay full whack for a season ticket if it meant some effort and investment.

Did some tectonic cataclysm happen to the Scandinavian peninsula?  Not on my CNN feed.

How ignorant, if some random fella came up to me asking awkward questions I would have a half an hour conversation with him and then invite him to spend the night in one of my houses
