Spurs' loans are long term, over about 20 years, at low interest rates. They earn roughly 100m a year from stadium earnings alone not including NFL games which earn about 6m per game. Then there are the concerts, etc. They are fine.

On-field performance is nowt to do with stadium size. That's down to football department bungling.

I think not many fans know that spud wage/revenue ratio is the lowest in PL almost every season.

They are 17th for a reason.

True. Financial management -v- on field football management is their problem.

That's true. The conspiracy theory that the Kremlin has compromising video of Trump is probably useless now . No one could tell if it's actually real or not, although if the report about what happened is to be believed, it would be hilarious to see it !!

Apparently he was in the hotel room in Moscow that Hillary Clinton had previously stayed in, he was with some "ladies". Some " water sports" went on , with him saying stuff about Hillary while engaged in the action ! 😂

Apologies to anyone offended .

EDIT...I've just read that it was the Obama's that stayed there, not Hilary.

£60 for the new TrueBlue membership for 'priority access' to ticket.

130k in the queue...

Oh well, at least genuine Chelsea fans got the tickets: https://www.livefootballtickets.com/fixtures/chelsea-v-crystal-palace-tickets-english-premier-league.html

Oh no, they're all on resale sites for £200+ already. Its an embarrassment. At least Hank and Marge will be able to see Chelsea on their week over from Kansas.

That is f**king disgraceful.

Genuine question, does anyone really care about what the club does behind the scenes in these transfer dealings?

I see all over the web, fans of other teams calling us dodgy or shady or whatever but honestly, I don't really care so long as the club does it whilst meeting every requirement and not violating any rules or laws. At the end of the day, the upper management and levels of football is a business and I actually like the fact that the club takes creative measures to dig themselves out of any snafu even if they were self-inflicted (as long as they don't directly or indirectly affect the fans)

My only frustration with it is other fans of these other clubs take a holier-than thou high ground as if these other clubs don't have their own skeletons in their closet. I reckon they're just angry that their clubs can't pull off the same thing or aren't smart enough to pull off these things.

Holier than thou is not in our DNA in the slightest. I think that is Barcelona and Arsenal DNA.

Notice all the noise about us again? They are worried, as they should be. We have become the equivalent of a super agent at club level. While having a super team that scares them. They see the Chelsea dominance coming for the next 10+ years with what we are building. They would be correct in fearing and crying about us. We are super massive.

No and it's all hypocrisy at the end of the day. Nobody was able to match how Ferguson was spending in the 90s that led to United's dominance.

Arsenal were the original "BANK OF ENGLAND" club that paid their way into the English top div.

At the end of the day the fear mongering and such are just rivals preemptively coping with the obvious blue typhoon that's coming. Slowly year by year we're starting to establish more talent on our roster and clear out the dross.

We're fighting for the top talent in the sport, we're maximising the multi-club model in a way which other clubs aren't. We have a premier superstar again in Cole Palmer.

We're the best selling club in world football (values are pre Madueke / Petrovic / Felix / ISS) and soon to be Nkunku and hopefully more.

Another Trophy! "Best Selling Club in the World"

I'm so old fashioned I still remember it all being about the football! 😂
