Naming rights can wait. There is no time limit. Patience is usually required to get the best deal. However, time is running out in strengthening our squad, and shipping out players who no longer feel their hearts are in our club. That must be our priority. We have only 6 days left.

What does it explain?

Why the ground is called Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the foreseeable and the lack of new player investment presumably. Without naming rights deal signed up and with none of our players selling, I’d imagine the available kitty has shrunk considerably.

I'll post it again here as it's a decent article that may have been missed.

http://www.cityam.com/289828/tottenham-hotspur-stadium-why-dont-spurs-have-naming-rights

“Spurs risk the value of the naming rights depreciating the longer it is known as the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as sponsors prefer properties without previous names that can be hard to shake off. That is believed to have been a factor in Newcastle owner Mike Ashley’s failure to attract an unaffiliated naming rights partner for St James’ Park and the ongoing absence of a sponsor for the former Olympic Stadium, now known as the London Stadium”

but he has delivered on the training ground the new stadium, Poch and our key players have signed improved contracts. Not bad
Well I don't imagine Poch to be too happy atm. Zero players in with 5 days left, completely different from what he wanted.

With our NFL link up I would imagine our new sponsor would have a American feel.

But that's a debate for another thread.....

I was imagining that the logic behind 'Tottenham Hotspur stadium' was to make it have the affect of 'insert name here' rather than create too much of an evocative name like White Hart Lane whereby the sponsor would have trouble establishing the name over the stadium.

Also the Etihad was the City of Manchester stadium for nearly a decade before it was renamed. So who knows

I'm no expert - it was just a thought that went through my head. I certainly wish it was WHL.

Some time ago ITKs said that sponsors were clamoring over eachother for the naming rights deal. Especially from Asia and the USA. Not worried

HSBC I think safe bank who will not throw an oil well of money just because they can, I just don’t see them as crazy enough to spunk 150 million. However I am a simple farm boy who destest bankers. We need an Oli rich show boating Arab or a tax dodging silcon valley trillionaire.

Zuckerberg. Jeff or even Bill will do they are the super rich kind of guys who have way to many billions, I could even settle in the apple stadium.

Come on Zuckerberg you could do with some friends right now ( the irony). Be remembered for making spurs great rather than, spreading hate, making kids stupid and fat, influencing elections, sharing all types of pornographer, again helping promote more hate an teroism, fake news, creating a rediculasly self obsessed generation. ( I think that covers his 3 main companies). So yes fucking man up and give spurs a rediculas stadium naming windfall!

P.s Elon musk can go fuck himself, unless he comes in with a 200 million plus offer, and gives the two divers a come of million for being a twat.

Well they’re clearly not as launching without a rights deal is far from desirable. If they were clamouring over each other, we’d have one. At best people are cautiously eyeing it - clamouring suggests driving the price up, not no one matching Levy’s valuation

Yep, they repeatedly shut down the debate whenever anyone queried why the sponsor hadn't been announced. We were supposedly paying off the whole stadium with the naming rights alone according to some.
Maybe they were misinformed or were trying to talk the price up.
Don't know, but yes, you should be worried now.

I presume that Levy has more than one iron in the fire. This seems to be a non-story as it was having to be sold to the majority of shareholders at HSBC, who aren't into football. It is a Hong Kong based bank and red is a lucky colour in Chinese culture, so that wouldn't have gone down well.
