NFL and THFC were negotiating to hold NFL games in the new stadium instead of at Wembley. Deal is going through now. In theory, it should provide Spurs alot more stadium revenue and alot more exposure in the US.

The Tottenham Soccerchickens in the Nike Futbawwwwwl Arena!

Yeehaaww!

:unsure:

No, this is about a new nfl franchise team playing in London, not about the one or two nfl games wembley get
Nope. If this was about an NFL team in Europe, it would be a HUGE deal here and would have been reported on every step of the way. Plus, they'd have to go through huge opposition from the Players Union. This is not about a new NFL franchise in London. This is purely about moving the games to the new stadium. Maybe they'll put a franchise in the new stadium, maybe not. But it wont happen anytime soon

No.

Best case scenario right now is that the NFL increases the number of games played in London. There are no plans for an expansion team, or an existing team to be based in London.

Call me a pessimist, but I can't see how the NFL playing in the new stadium will lead to new Spurs supporters in the US. From a personal perspective, Spurs played against the Chicago Fire. I live in Chicago. I still have no desire to watch the Fire despite the stadium being less than an hour from my house.

It won't. But a sponsored stadium that is mentioned on NFL broadcasts, is worth something. And the rent paid by the NFL for game-weeks is worth something.

Soon enough you have a team with the funds to achieve CL - and Americans are as big a band-wagon-jumping group as there is in the world.

If it's about using our stadium two times a year for an nfl game, this will not be a game changer in any way.

Where's the ITK on Son & Kramer? Is this the confirmed solution to the cryptic?

We'll get some revenue bump from the 2-4 games here but your right, it wont be game changer like. It would give extra exposure to the club in the US, which will help increase sponsorship money and merchandise sales. May not be a game changer but every little bit helps.

Hmm if it is Son and Kramer, I'd be very surprised to see us put up the money needed to get that over the line. Leverkusen are a big and well off club. They won't sell cheap.


Are any German club really that well off? Aside from bayern!..it's why Dortmund have at least one of their stars poached every year?

Yes they are. Dortmund have lost most of their stars because of buyout clauses - Goetze - or they ran their contract down - Lewandowski.

People keep asking if this is the solution or that is the solution so I might as well say it now.

The solution, when posted :p will appear in the Goat's Gazebo and probably the Read Only as well. All you have to do is check there.

And as i've said before, that isn't happening until we get the all clear from the source.
