TheBrownBottle Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Spurs' finances are what make them a 'Big Six' club. They've got the highest turnover of any London club. Not to be sniffed at. Their turnover is roughly double ours Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be sniffed at. Their turnover is roughly double ours I do find it hard to class Spurs on a par with the other 5 clubs mind , I get what you are saying about finances etc and I know they have the best stadium in the world but I see it more as a big 5, they are the ones that share all the trophies around and Spurs literally win nothing . It's more a big 5, then Spurs above everyone else but I just can't take them seriously as being on par with the other five clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that most of Man Utd’s title winning side 1995-96 were home grown. Whereas our team that season were mainly bought in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - if we were looking at success, then Leicester has a better argument over the last decade! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas our team that season were mainly bought in. Man Utd's regular starting XI that season cost just over 16m. Ours cost just over 22m (not allowing for Asprilla and Batty, who came in later on) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be sniffed at. Their turnover is roughly double ours IIRC Levy came in for a lot of criticism investing all their money on the stadium instead of the squad, but to be fair it will put them in good stead going forward. Their penny pinching days should theoretically be behind them. But I think it's part of his make up, Levy isn't the type who will buy blue chip shares if he thinks he can score big buying penny shares instead.

timeEd32 Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Tottenham had a glorious opportunity in the early Pep years. They'd be thought of very differently if they had won the title between 2015-18 or the Champions League in 2019. They fell short and are left with a bunch of what-ifs. Now they've had to transition through managers and aging stars. I'd be frustrated with their last five seasons if I supported them, especially all the early cup exists, but all of the ingredients are there. I think a few months ago I said I expect them to have a golden era of sorts in the next decade. If they don't it will mean they've continually missed badly on managers and/or transfers.

STM Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Basically when MA took over, he nose dived us commercially, where as Spurs, who were comparable at the time, had aspirations to grow. There's only MA to blame. Also worth noting that while Spurs are "big six" financially, they aren't "big six" in terms of success but then we start the "big club" debate, which is tedious at best. The good news is that we have the best in the business, working behind the scenes to bridge the gap... and we will bridge that gap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlazeT44 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Just now, PauloGeordio said: He's absolutely class. Can't believe there are people questioning that he's anything but the right guy for us to build a long term project. Imagine the ego of a Mourinho disrupting what we are building here. I think a lot can be said for how he's handled the man management aspect of our transformation. Can't be easy managing a squad of players knowing that there's going to be steep and continuous investment. Players like Almiron, Schar, Longstaff, Wilson who could have had their starting place under real threat have responded brilliantly to his style.

They don’t invest anywhere near as much as the other. Which is why they don’t win. The advantage Spurs have is they can spend a lot year in year out to get into the CL. Then they’ll coast again. Levy doesn’t buy megastars in the main so the wages remain low. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reasonable answer I guess. With pope on the helm, I bets our CBs would be confident enough covered the gap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
