The Emirates cost £390 million to build back in 2004 and Arsenal haven’t really invested in the playing side since barring a few recent notable exceptions that haven’t worked out. Fast forward to 2020 and Tottenham’s stadium cost £1 billion. I get there could be deals that’ll put a hole in those figures such as the naming rights but I don’t think the picture is a rosy as you paint. Sounds like Wenger protesting that Arsenal had plenty of money but he wasn’t prepared to spend it on “bad value”. Spurs will be a selling club for a decade I reckon. That’s not a criticism either. In the longer term they could have a bright future, but in the here and now you don’t write off £1 billion with fancy projections and a cheese room.Also from what I read not sure Spurs aren't that short of money, nothing like City's mind, but now Fans allowed back its not just Football where their money comes from already later this year Concerts, Boxing and NFL income will come flooding in, They are just about to sign a 10 year Grounds Rights with I believe Qatar (c£250m) and Wembley are no only losing NFL to them but the Challenge Cup Final to be played there, add to this 60k of for most league games at just about the highest prices in football will see their annual turnover c£400m and their overheads are low compared to the other top 6 as they just don't pay the wages like City, United, Chelsea, Pool and even Arsenal.
