Just to add, we were told about this last month by one of the ITKs. It probably doesn't mean much to anyone else but it's further confidence in believing them when they pass on other info.

he’s not a very good businessman

i don’t get why everyone says this

ENIC is an investment company. In purely business terms, he has invested c. £125m of the company’s money over 20 years and turned it into an asset worth c. £2b. Even after accounting for the stadium debt, it still represents something like a 1000% return on investment.

I’d say that that qualifies as good business in pretty much anyone’s books.

Plus compare other clubs who were at our level 20 years ago revenue and status wise. Villa Everton Leeds Newcastle etc. Look where we are now compared to them. Our revenue will be pushing £500m most of them are now around £200m mark. Arsenal even somehow managed to go backwards in that time.

nothing really new..from wayne veysey, name rings a bell


Sources: Tottenham in talks over £250m+ naming rights deal after Amazon link

Tottenham are in talks to secure a naming rights deal for their stadium but are still holding out for a £25million-a-year agreement, Football Insider understands.
Spurs announced a mammoth £63.9m loss in their most recent set of financial results and regard a naming rights sponsor as a vast new potential revenue stream.

A Tottenham source has told Football Insider that it is the board’s “priority” to finalise a mega money long-term agreement that would run for at least 10 years.
The London club are looking to pay off the £600m debt accumulated from the costs of the £1.2billion stadium complex, which opened in 2019.
Chiefs led by chairman Daniel Levy have held discussions with various blue-chip companies.
Global technology giant Amazon and sportswear firm Nike have been reported as top contenders for an agreement which Spurs want to be the biggest of its kind in football.
Amazon already have strong links to Tottenham having spent the 2019-20 season filming at the club for the behind-the-scenes documentary All or Nothing.

There were reports Spurs could secure a naming rights deal before the start of this season.
But that has not proved to be the case, with finance expert Kieran Maguire telling Football Insider their failure to do so will reduce their potential to get a mega-bucks deal for this term.
The London giants believe their 62,000-capacity stadium will drive significant revenue growth in the coming years.
Commercial revenue for 2019-20 surged from £135m to £162m, even though many events had to be cancelled due to Covid.

The local basketball team (Indiana Pacers) has been playing at what's called Banker's Life Fieldhouse. Well the naming rights expired in 2019 but the name was left up there until today. They just announced a new deal with a different company and thus the name of the arena has been changed.

So it can take a bit of time to find a partner both sides feel are compatible for each other or to find a deal that makes everyone happy.

The Lakers are in an elite tier, very few can command such a fee.

18m Instagram followers to our 11m. Twitter 10m to our 6.5m. That’s not such a huge difference. It’s also not just Spurs but the category of events held like the AJ fight etc.

The Lakers aren't seeing any of that money but they definitely helped AEG get that money for Staples Center. It's dead set in downtown LA and Staples Center hosts a number of huge events outside of sports so I'm not sure how much that matters.

It’s nearly double the social media engagement…

Now add the social media stats for the Clippers and the NHL LA Kings who also play at Staples Center.

Not sure if this is the right place so please forgive me if not

Singapore consumer Internet company Sea has denied lining up an investment deal with Tottenham Hotspur, despite the fact Forrest Li, chairman and chief executive was recently a guest of Daniel Levy at a Spurs game. Matt Law


Li is worth nearly $16 billion.

Sea are also massively overvalued. Their cap is between Mercado Libre and Shopify but their operating losses are in the billions. Stick to someone with proven and sustainable net income streams.
