AFC's wage bill was £46m more - so surely even including transfer net spend their total spend was more than ours - admittedly they acheived more that season

We won a cup, they won sweet FA!

Hi Evil - the figures refer to 06/7, we won nowt that year like AFC - but they finished above us in the league and knocked out of the Carling to reach the final - I think you'll find they had the better season (though ours was good/very good

People who are rich are normally the type of people that dont feel the need to tell people of there wealth.


Im afraid that we are no longer living in the 50's.... i know time flys...anyways this is the way football (actually society) works. Money makes the world go round like it or not. Football teams are no longer just football teams they are buisness oppertunitys, now nobody is saying its right this way but thats just the way it is. Is it right that i have to pay 50 quid for a tank of petrol? no....But do i have to if i want to run my car? yes.... Very much in the same way you can either support tottenham hotspur and accept that we are FKN LOADED (as you so fluently put it) or you can go down to your local football club and watch football standing on a soap box in the pissing rain.

Basically sir, you are a moron, basically stop buying any goods from THFC if you feel your being ripped off. And if your really desperate for a shirt and you dont want the fat cats at the club you love to have more in the transfer kitty then i know a few good sites where you can buy a replica.

cheers mate

Hi, I understand where you are coming from. We do live in a cut-throat society. However please understand that there are some people who feel uncomfortable about this. In every society there are people (and in football's case-clubs) that are left behind in this capitalist bun-fight.
We dont all want to be part of a society where our only value lies in the money we have or the car we own or the economic choices that we make. Somehow we seem to have left the human equation out of things.
Maybe it is just hopeless romanticising, but there are a significant number of people around who feel as if we have lost our sense of community, value and our sense of joy.
Football is now a commodity and I find myself increasingly detatched from this wonderful football club. I find myself as a supporter an interchangeable unit, merely a mechanism for the transfer of capital. As the years go by I see the bloated pomposity of the premier league and all the crap that goes with it and think can I go another season. Your words have gone some way to persude me that I cannot. For that you have my thanks.

I have seen the change also. Like clubs charging fans to go to the good parts of their websites, charging more for kits when the quality goes down, text updates $$$, and all sorts of stuff which is charging us for the simplest for info on the club.

What they don't get is that we are going to spend money on the club REGARDLESS. So AT LEAST give us good stuff in return for our $$$'s.

If you are going to charge us for TV/Radio make it like Tottenham TV where there are is an HOUR of updates every day. And not a once a week update of an interview with Daws grinning for 2 mins from phone cam quality stream etc etc.

Anyway. My opinion of levy has gone down since BMJ sacking. Time will tell but I already see the cracks.

If you want to challenge the top four, and sign lots and lots of very good players, you need money. We don't have CL football, and the subsequent big cheques, and we have a rather average sized stadium, despite our large support. Therefore the club has to find money from other avenues. Its not nice that we're the ones who end up forking out the dough, but we're the ones who demand success and big signings, and as with most football clubs, we're gonna be the ones whom pay for it.

I see both sides. I want Spurs to be the best and I want them to win things and compete, unfortunately the whole sport is up it's arse and to do those things we have to follow suit.

I live in the USA.

How about you stop and think about the dad who always buys his kids a kit every year? It is a TRADITION for most families. And the board have turned tradition into fan tax. 3 strips? A YEAR?

I am fkn loaded and it doest matter to me personally, but you have to be pragmatic about football as a COMMUNITY sport rather than the the bloated behemoth it has become.

I support a football team, not a business model based on ripping off FANS.

No one makes anyone buy the kit, it's a personal choice to buy it.

The richest are fans of Tottenham Hotspur, who can boast that 32% of their supporters earn in excess of fifty grand per annum, putting them ahead of Chelsea (2nd) and Arsenal (3rd).

(that stat may be old and things may have changed)

I just went through that whole premier league report and i can't see any figures on richest fans?
And to be 100% honest the only way to do a survey to see who has the richest fans would be to ask EVERY single fan from every premier league club then you could have a correct answer you can't say we do until it's a proven fact not a survey from a couple of thousand/hundred fans asked and i'm pretty damn certain no-one on this site i know has been asked about there wages income,

Unfortunately though football is a business nowadays (has been for fifty years or more) and we haven't got the stadium to bring in the revenue so without spunking out money on a new stadium the club bring out new shirts each year and things like increased season tickets prices help to pay for certain players who haven't performed well enough.

I read a couple of days ago that spurs were spending the lowest % of our total rev on players salaries of all Premier League clubs whilst having comparatively low levels of debt. Whatever you may think of Levy, that indicates that he has created a financially sustainable club.
