Optimistic Nut Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Would think our spending settles a bit anyway now and the commercial revenue catches up. We've been handicapped by needing to spend a shit load to stay up then push to the top 6, with little in the squad other than Maxi worth selling. We've probably got about 19-20 senior players we'd be happy with. Season by season I could see 3-4 signings a season with 2-3 going out for better money than we've been bringing in other than Maxi going back as far as Ayoze really. We can still be excited and push on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bally21 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I put this in the "general nufc" chat, but might be better placed in this chat: I notice that the season ticket renewal deadline is 20th May this year, rather than July as it was last year. Wonder if this may be related to FFP. Anyone renewing season ticket as a one off payment would be paying in May at the latest (as opposed to July last year), also for those spreading the cost it states first payment will be 5th June - it was 5th July last year. I think the FFP period ends sometime in June? Maybe they are trying to pull some of next seasons revenue into this FFP period? Smart move if so, but may create a revenue reduction in the next 3 year period. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still expect us to sell to maximise out budget though. Edited April 12 by The Prophet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timnufc22 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 17 hours ago, TheBrownBottle said: Agreed re middle ground on rules, but Spurs’ success was still built on huge income. The year they reached the Champions League final - five seasons ago - their income was roughly double ours was in 22/23. In fact you have to go back a decade before their income was the same as ours last season - well before the explosion in income levels. We’re not likely to hit £400m in income any time soon with the current rules in place and no new stadium - I just don’t see how we do that. Depressing or not, that is the current position. We can’t compete without being put on financial steroids for a period to bring in sustained success - that’s how you get the big sponsors and international revenues. Sad cases the world over need to buy the merchandise and consume shite with our badge slapped on it. And how did Spurs gain that income? I stand to be corrected, but I don't believe it was through a sugar daddy injecting huge amounts of money from nowhere. They made a great managerial appointed (Pochettino) and recruited very well. Their academy produced one of the worlds best strikers. They clearly obtained great commercial deals. Granted they're a London club so I appreciate that is a caveat to this conversion. They hadn't moved into their new stadium so were not generating income through NFL events etc. They were playing at Wembley, where again I stand corrected if they somehow had an event tie-in situation. Their average attendance there was 68k, which is a big boost to what they were used to at WHL, but not a massive amount more than some people are turning their nose up at for a SJP extension (61-62k). I'm not naïve to the task again for us or any other similar sized football club nor to the clear vested interests from certain clubs to stop others progressing. But if we can strike together the right elements, it is possible to break into the top 6 and even top 4. The size of such a task means it would only be that much more rewarding. No pride in the Man City route and it would get boring fast too imo (the Etihad atmosphere attests to this). Howe is clearly a manager players love to play for, he has a special connection with the players and I'm sure word travels in the football world how great he is, especially on a personal level. If he learns the lessons of this season and proves to be our long-term man, I think it can help to attract players, who will know they're in safe hands. If we extended SJP to 61-62k, sorted out the seating arrangements, the place would look and ideally sound stunning and one of the most special & unique venues to play at and would be a great selling point. Swap that with a new stadium if that's your preference. The more we maintain a European place EL/ECL - the more we can increase sponsorship and the more chance we have of cracking top 4 again. If we persist not only can we do it, but we can maintain it for a period I think too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikky Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Was the Sela deal included in the 22:23 accounts? I am assuming no? Likewise Noon would have been a part payment as they joined during the season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonas Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 7 hours ago, duo said: Never mind catching them we can't even keep up. The new rules just make them even richer. its an Achillies Paradox. Whilst ourselves, Villa etc. take a step in that direction, because they can say 'were established, and they've been cut off at the knees' their sponsorship ought to be bigger than ours and the gap widened. Behind the scenes I bet they cant believe they've got away with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christ, I’m usually the positive one on here I’m just realistic about the values of those players in question. as for the accounts, unless there have been extra deals we’re not aware of, it’s kinda public knowledge where we are right now based on last year’s accounts.
