The College Dropout Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 11 minutes ago, leffe186 said: My understanding is that Levy put the wage cap on, it wasn’t the real owners. They kind of let him run the show. Seems like the Lewis family had finally had enough and ditched him. Trouble is, they did it before there was a sturdy enough structure to replace him, and when we’d just made what turned out to be a bad managerial appointment. I think there’s a chance the ambition is there. The competence very clearly is not. But Levy is a shareholder himself and he was empowered by the major shareholders. They would know Spurs have the lowest wages to revenue ratio in the league for years and had no issue with it. Is there evidence of some grand ambition from the larger shareholders? They were happy enough with Levy’s approach for what.. 20 years? 6 minutes ago, Wolfcastle said: If they could be turned, they could be a powerful ally Again. Spurs are not limited by PSR.

The College Dropout Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I’m an armchair follower of Spurs and PL financials. Spurs position is entirely self made. Even when they spend big money they cheap out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but they're distinctly the junior partners in revenue to the cartel and the least likely to bolster that with CL money even if they decided to spend all they could. They'd have to punch above their weight to be more than 6th so the ceiling is there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danh1 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Said last night I could understand Forest pulling the trigger but that appointment is hardly one that creates certainty they’ll stay up. Suppose he done well at Wolves last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixx Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Can’t stand that kind of ex-manager revisionism. “Yeah I really wanted to sign Maradona but the board just wasn’t as smart as me.” They spent around 150m pounds on players that season. But it doesn’t eliminate the fact that the big five can sign a player for 70m pounds, just toss him in the reserves or out on loan if it doesn’t work out and then buy a new one for 80m pounds. Rinse and repeat. That’s the main difference. See Mudryk, Anthony, Sancho, Höjlund etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd have to punch above their weight to be more than 6th so the ceiling is there. But they are not. Their revenue is higher than Chelsea’s and their wages to revenue % is the lowest in the league. Spurs is 42%. Ours is 68%, Liverpool is 63%. Spurs could try a lot harder to compete if the people controlling their club wanted too. Nothing to do with the rules or their revenue.

Brentford it’s stark and a big example but it’s increasingly becoming the way that the way the club is led upstairs is by far the biggest indicator of success. Also similar is true for some of their players. Wissa bagged goals but nobody thought he was elite. Thiago and Schade are scoring a lot of goals. Nobody thinks they’re elite either. It’s something about Brentford’s style that gets their attackers high Xg opportunities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts are club with a loyal fanbase despite spending their existence essentially locked out of any long term success by the old firm. Brighton are a club who without their owner could be playing non-league football or have went bust with a load of fans who used to watch Man Utd, Liverpool etc that have only turned up since the big teams now regularly visit.

The College Dropout Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Brighton have been a boring side for so long. Their whole style of play is boring.

joeyt Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Don't see much comparison with Marinakis and Mike Ashley For all of Marinakis' faults he wants his team to be successful.

HawK Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Personally I think Dyche's sacking is madness for any club other than Forrest. For them it seems par for the course. I heard that since he took over their form is mid-table? Madness... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
