It's only hearsay, but my wife's company reckon the lack of appointing a principle contractor has cost somewhere in the region of £80m in man hours, refits and loss of equipment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 The squad reminds me of us under MON. First XI can beat anybody on the day but when injuries and suspensions hit they are ****. Sissoko, Lamela, Jannsen, Llorente, Rose such a dip in quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LakotaDakota Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) The pitch was shit long before any of the NFL games. The Joshua Povetkin fight wrecked it and it hasn't recovered since. Obviously the NFL hasn't helped especially down the middle of the pitch but that is all the stadium was actually supposed to be being used for at this time of year. Nobodies fault but Spurs & their dodgy builders. This is before any of the NFL games. Edited October 30, 2018 by LakotaDakota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the new stadium isn't paying for itself so they are in the same situation arsenal were in when they moved into the Emirates. Broke. The problem for spurs is that there are 6 teams able to compete for the champions league places now whereas arsenal were pretty much guaranteed CL football every year. From the outside it looks like an impossible situation for levy. He doesn't have the money to back the manager or build a squad and he has to spend all the money he has giving the existing first team players new contracts. It seems like a house built on sand to me. Ponchettino should have gone to real Madrid last summer when they offered him the job (twice). He isn't going to achieve anything more with spurs.

The funny thing is they've agreed to host NFL games at their new stadium, assuming it's ever ready to host games, so this certainly isn't the last of their pitch related woes. Edit: Actually...they have 2 pitches, so they can retract the football one and reveal the NFL one. Fair play, that's pretty **** impressive.

Personally I hope it becomes a permanent NFL ground when Poch leaves, Spurs enter free fall, and they have to flog off the stadium to the highest bidder. I believe they've got two pitches, one grass and one whatever they use in NFL that they can swap between. Should be a decent earner for them if they ever open the stadium.

Still hope they go bust and end up never using the football pitch though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Anyway I don't really get the hate for Spurs, they've not been gifted a shitload of oil money, have a likeable manager and a watchable set of players. Yeah Levy takes the piss with transfers but that doesn't really bother me, especially since we were able to tell him to **** off in the summer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 If true this will probably sting a bit. Quote Tottenham have had to borrow an extra £237million to get their new stadium finished. Spiralling costs have forced the Premier League club to substantially increase their line of credit with three banks on the heavily-delayed project to a total of £637m. It is the latest in a series of blows the north Londoners have been hit with on and off the pitch, which started with no players being bought in the summer window and led to manager Mauricio Pochettino revealing his “massive frustration” two days ago at the state of affairs. Spurs were due to move into the 62,000-seater venue, on their traditional White Hart Lane stomping ground, ahead of their game with Liverpool on September 15. Those plans were blown apart with a catalogue of setbacks - including faulty wiring affecting critical safety systems - forcing the club to concede last week that they would not play there until the New Year. They have been left to stage home games on a dreadful surface at Wembley, and on one occasion in Milton Keynes, with a new moving-in target of January 13, when Spurs entertain Manchester United. The extension of Tottenham’s “development facility” with their three banking partners was revealed in their statement last week confirming they would not be taking charge of their new stadium this side of Christmas. In May 2017, Spurs signed a £400m, five-year loan with Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs and HSBC, to finance the construction. That loan replaced a £200million deal set up two years previously. But Spurs admitted in a statement that the loan facility is now worth “up to £637m”, an increase of £237m or 59% on the £400m. Among the options being explored by the club is one adopted in 2015 by Manchester United to raise cash through a private placement - selling bonds privately to a small group of institutional investors instead of offering them publicly. Tottenham’s statement read: “The club’s investment over recent years in facilities has resulted in total gross tangible assets at 30 June, 2018, in excess of £1bn. “These investments have been financed by funds from the club and bank finance, principally from Bank of America Merrill Lynch International, Goldman Sachs Bank USA and HSBC Bank plc who have provided a development facility of up to £637m. At 30 June, 2018, the club had net debt of £366m.” https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/spurs-borrow-extra-237m-fund-13508659 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
