Daniel Levy has tons of money...he owned quite a few clubs under ENIC I think...then sold them all off and pumped loads into Tottenham, as he supports them. They've always had loads of money...I'm sure they are one of the 3 richest in the Premiership...

Levy is wealthy, but he doesn't have millions of pounds in a drawer.I think you're confusing him with Joe Lewis. Spurs money comes from him.

Tottenham had a £15m injection from their owners like 4 years ago or something, but everything else comes from the income of the club.
The club is run exceptionally well.

Can confirm that Lewis is top boss in the company that own Tottenham, and filthy rich, but he has not put any of his personal money into the club.

and one of the best kit sponsorship deals in the football world are big reasons behind our spending power.

The Champions League money the big clubs get havent been much of an issue for Tottenham as the top four have spent a minimum of £40M more than Tottenham on wages every year. Although I can imagine we're closing in on their wage levels all the time with the new signings.

Not sure how much we've spent lately in transfer fees, but can have a look at it later at "work"
Thanks for the welcome!

That's £102.6m since January 2007, and still there are rumours of £17m moves for Bentley, among others. How is that sustainable?

They've made money on Defoe (£6.5m) and Mido (£6m) last year, and the year before of course got the £18m for Carrick.

So not many really.

Profit from operations before player trading and amortisation were lower at £9.9m (6 months ended 31 December 2006: £14.2m) principally as a result of one-off costs incurred in the period.

A work permit for Lee in Holland is no issue...

PSV have bought Pieters instead, they no longer need Lee (who was earning waaaaay too much at Spurs to consider playing in the Eredivisie) : you're stuck with him

Lee was one of the lowest paid 1st teamers at Spurs, and unlike many EPL clubs, we have a strict wage cap, it was said he was to be included in the deal. we'll see

Who's the highest paid player(s) in the Eredivisie, btw ?

Kimbo wrote:I took my fee's from a Tottenham website. Whether they are paid in installments is irrelevant, that money is still commited else where. Oba Martins fee was £2m a year for 5 years, you don't see people claiming we've only spent £4m on him, because that money is committed. Installments just mean you will have less money in the coming years, what if you need to improve the squad next year, but you can't because you're still paying for all of last years signings?

If Spurs can maintain this spending without going into debt then they may aswell be one of the richest clubs in the world. Who needs worldwide fanbases and CL revenue eh?

Anyway that tells me Spurs are spending more than they have coming in.

But that wasnt far from the fact was it , we can look at the site again and discuss every transfer or player listed.
Whatever it was called.
