Honestly, anyone would have thought they were in 15th after the last three days of Discourse. It was always gonna be a hiding tonight. I could see spurs doing that. Its the game vs arsenal that's the big one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted January 10, 2023 Moderator Share Posted January 10, 2023 Stick a target on these. Stadium debt, an unbalanced squad, an unbalanced manager and the likelihood of them falling out of the top four, perhaps for a long while, means they're going to struggle. They might be in a position where they downsize and reduce their ambitions slightly as they lose the income from Champions League qualification (or even from the promise of CL money). Can they compete with Man City and Newcastle for players? I don't think so. Are they a match for the squads at Arsenal and Chelsea? I don't think so. Can they increase their incomes to match Liverpool and Man Utd? I don't think so. So what do they do? I think CL qualification becomes a rarity for them over the next decade and they get used to becoming a team that live where they lived not too long ago - competing for Europa League qualification and having the odd cup run - that, I think, is the level they're heading to - what's more, I think it's a level we can compete with them at. If the Qatari's get involved, then Spurs should be saved, they might find themselves in with City and Newcastle - but that will put one of the others in a similar spot - if that's Liverpool or United, I suspect it'll end up with the league pulling itself apart - I think they'll change the rules rather than have those teams lose the game - so, because I want this league to continue and because I want Spurs to return to their more natural state, I'd like that not to happen.

The_Steve Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Looks like the Qataris will bail them out. Shouldn’t be allowed. But it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted January 10, 2023 Moderator Share Posted January 10, 2023 There's a fair cultural jump needs to happen for Qatar to buy Spurs. A club with strong and celebrated links with the Jewish community owned by a proudly Islamic state is quite a picture. It'll be interesting to see what their fans make of it.

Clubs funded by states (and a few others) move on to the ESL, feels like it has to happen quite soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but it's still down to revenue, they are streets ahead of us. Someone mentioned previously that Spurs make more money in their catering than we do in ticket sales. We struggle to serve a pie and pint at half time. The redevelopment will help to close the gap but we will be still 10,000 short and not in London. They got nearly double our crowd over the cup weekend for example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See how well they do after a stint in the championship and a couple of seasons fighting relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 The Qataris are looking to buy a club in America too. Las Vegas Villans Qatar…..? Pretty sure Qatar, UAE and one or two others ‘normalised’ relations with Israel recently so I don’t think it’d be a major issue with the Qataris investing in Spuds.

My college is a super-fan, had season ticket for a bunch of years when he lived in London, used to be president of their Swedish fan club... He absolutely hates it, winning isn't everything.

Yes because our ownwes are not a state that owns another club that has broken ffp rules we haven't. And do we even own that club? Can you provide evidence if we have ?
