Spurs

I cannot stand Rednapp, the person. A greedy shady money grabbing old scrote.
I refuse to watch that Harry's Heroe's because of him.

Yes, you was nearly correct about my username H.H.
Henry (Percy) Hotspur, a nobleman from Northumberland who battled the Scots, owned all the land around the Spurs stadium (hence Northumberland Park which is now what you away supporters use to get to the new away section.)*

*Damn, I've let it slip that women don't think I'm a Horny Hunk :p

Is your take on Redknapp common amongst Spurs fans? I thought he did well for you guys, looked like you got close to winning the league a couple of seasons?

Amongst my usual Spurs drinking group of around 20 people I would guess it's 50/50 on whether he is liked or not? For me he did well but when he started whoring himself for the England job it started going downhill quickly (and that is ignoring all the lies he told.)
It's all about him but I can't stand the horrible greedy shady bar steward and for me, the sooner greedy people like Rednapp and Allardyce are out of football the better.
Also, it always surprised me that more wasn't made about multi millionaire
Alex Ferguson and he's shady deals (he's son becoming a agent etc,)
Scumbags!
Rant over ;)

Remember when levy thought he would get compensation for him when he was linked with the England job
 

Spurs are lucky in that we have a top financial rating that allowed us to get the loan at only 0.5%. I read that the only other team that are able to lend at this low rate is Man Utd?

Probably another season of low net spend for us but with general transfer fees probably being a fair bit lower, hopefully we can get a couple in to fill a couple of our weak areas?
 
I reckon it will have a massive impact.

Let's hope we see some sense return to transfer valuations, because Everton, and Spurs, have paid way over the odds for certain players.


Every team in the P/L has. I would guess that only around 50% of all transfers are regarded as a Good success?

What will be very interesting is if any players come in at all for Spurs. It will look horrendous if you take public funds and spend millions on a player. Not saying it won't happen, but it will look terrible.

I doubt if Jose is going to stick about for too long if there is no money there, i am sure they will spend some unless they sell Kane to top up the pot maybe?
 
If Covid is costing us £200mn there must be some other teams really hurting.

This is a fair point. I got a bit of stick a while back for suggesting Spurs were problematic, but it seems to be the case.

This is an awful PR move. It will be very unpopular and probably impact upon longer term sponsorships and partnerships. However I think it shows the desperation of teams kicking in. That was also my point with furlough as well, that actually teams must be desperate to be considering it in March.

I'll be honest, all of the top 6 are in serious trouble (in different ways). Complete loss of income while high wage expenditure remains. It's a terrible combination. If the CL/EL can't be completed, that could be a real turning point. I think the £200m sounds about right too. United and Liverpool will be even higher as a loss, with a much higher wage bill. We will be seeing losses of hundreds of millions next season, and thats assuming there is some football next year, no 2nd spike, some return to fans in grounds etc.

Spurs are fortunate to get that loan. It will be interesting to see if there is a political kick back against it. If you're borrowing from the market currently, I'd imagine you're probably getting 15-20% pay back due (but do probably get the flexibility of paying back the capital over a longer period than a year).

The PL I suspect is going to get a lot more even. I'd say the 3 top 6 sides owned by Americans, given everything that is going on there (unemployment, a nutjob in charge, racial civil war, massive death rates etc) are going to be hit even more as part of a perfect storm of their businesses over the pond plummeting and the cash cows they had in the PL suddenly not delivering.

Watch this space really.
