Financial Results y/e June 2017

[npearl4spurs]

looking forward to the match day chants taunting the rest of the league now

“46% increase in revenue - you’ll never sing that”

And “la la la la la your p&l’s s**t”

goosebumps.

Heaven forbid that the guy at the top, overseeing the whole operation, who has been there longer than any of them and spent the best part of 20 years now building up the whole infrastructure of the club and turning it into an increasingly competitive, ambitious, and forward thinking club, gets a pay packet that reflects this.....

Average league position in the 10 years before Levy = 11th
10 years after Levy = 8th
Last 10 years = 5th

I'd say he's earned it.

hertyid on levy's 6m: I can almost guarantee that none of the players are even aware

So none pick up any paper or been on any social media since the release ?

 

[Saoirse]

I don't want to venture into the realms of ITK bashing but when it's public knowledge now that seems rather unlikely. And even if the players aren't aware their agents surely are if they're doing their jobs properly.

 

[coy-spurs1882]

yep - you would have thought they would be happy to see a club being run properly, but it doesn't sell papers.
Always thought it strange that clubs like Chelsea and City being bankrolled by rich owners never seemed to get the bad publicity that it deserved, but used to it now.

spurs is a club that is mocked for doing the right thing, ironic isn't it

Simply put, Levy deserves every penny of that bonus.

Poch aside he's probably the best thing that's happened to spurs for nearly 2 decades. Yes he can be a penny pinching bastard, but as much as that's gone against us, it's working for us also.

To have delivered the team we have on the pitch, as well as the incredible stadium to house them, with the best training facilities in the country (bar maybe City's mini Village) and all without significant oil/Arab investment is absolutely incredible.

Yes he can be tight with wages etc, but the way they are paid is how footballers should be paid. Heavily incentivised and he knows this. If the players aren't willing to earn their massive wages then fuck them.

He's probably been sleeping about 3 hours a night for going on 10 years. Fair fucks to him in my opinion. Some people will just never be happy.

This, He deserves every penny for what hes acheived on the budget we have !

The love for Chelsea is particularly mystifying. Everything about it is toxic.

 

[coys200]

Chelsea £70m loss and £1bn in debt, imagine when Roman walks away.

 

[coys200]

Going from this I think we will definitely go 2nd with new stadium and all the extra revenue streams.

 

[coys200]

Sorry meant 3rd

This AND as the media seems to forget, he owns part of the club! He is effectively paying himself.

 

[DCSPUR]

I have more faith in our players intelligence than to believe that they are in any way outraged or surprised that the guy that signs their checks earn more money than them.

and owns part of the club (and whose godfather owns the rest)

I wonder if the other clubs look at themselves and think they pay their players too much compared to us. They must do surely, they’re all businessmen in the end?

If ENIC do have plans to sell i do hope DL stays chairman TBH any other scenario gives me the willies



There's obviously going to be big sums out for player bonus' too (how it should be in all honesty)

I believe there was ITK that a contractual stipulation of a buy out when people were having a look was that Levy stays chairman. So the club stays in safe hands

 

[Chris Flynn]

No disrespect to your brother but he is wrong. Only land doesn't depreciate, the stadium most definitely will be depreciating once it's in a condition to be used.

Out of interest is that the same for property? Because as a non homeowner they propperty appears to be a magical coin shitting machine in the south east. Even dumps go up in value every year

For one year based on a performance bonus and back dated pay. Ffs

 

[SugarRay]

Not a single player at the club will do as much for the club as Levy has. Especially not the two that are rumoured to be shocked by Levy’s pay!

 

[WexfordTownSpur]

The Club participated in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League and the round of 32 of the UEFA Europa League (2016: round of 16 of UEFA Europa League) resulting in gate receipts and prize money of £44.6m (2016: £18.7m).
Vs
Revenue from the domestic cup competitions earned the Club £5.0m (2016: £2.4m).

And this is why we prioritise Europe over domestic cups
