Yup understand all that.

What I question is that how it actually works?

Like any other sale process, whereby the buyer pays as little as it can but ultimately more than any other party can / would and the asset owners (the sellers) take from that price whatever is due to them.
Thus if the €65M release clause is due to Dortmund and the difference between €65M and market value (the most that a buying club is willing to pay) is due to Haaland & Co, then Dortmund will want their €65M and Haaland & Co will want the difference between that and the market value.

Haaland will not be sold for less that full market value and if you can understand that, and stip believing that his market value will magically reduce if the reduced fee kicks in, then you’ve graduated from Hogwarts.

There are no magic beans, no ‘do it now and Haaland’s crew or Dortmund will be happy to wave goodbye to tens of €millions’.
Also, no Father Christmas and no tooth fairy (the latter of which I was very sad to learn as I’ve got a loose molar).

Spurs have hit their credit limit and fans will turn on the board , can see them organising a protest and not spending money in the stadium next season.
Spurs are in a big mess, levy has took the fans for granted .

I think this is very harsh on Spurs, I’m no fan of the club or levy in any shape or form - in fact I really do hate them, mainly due to the supporters and their entitled behaviour.

Why is this harsh? Well they were a well run club, on a high budget but not breaking the bank. Levy did well for Spurs in the transfer market and no one can question that.

A great business model and was working really well, even the stadium investment was well organised and thought out, revenue streams were identified and fully signed up for years to come. Would have worked really well and moved the club forward over the next five to ten years.

Unfortunately they were right at the point of heavy debt management when COVID killed them, and completely killed them, not just impacted but completely killed the project to the point of needing government assistance.

It’s like getting the house of your dreams, a new job paying twice the income, moving into your new dream house and finding out your new job isnt paying as much as your old one; you’re mortgaged to the hilt and limited revenue.

So let’s not kid ourselves that things were run poorly at Spurs, they are just, sadly another victim of COVID (and I say sadly as real people will lose jobs and homes etc there).

But are you a smug bastard ... ?

Also for the record, the DMA's are terrible band. Trash. I would never have signed them.

I am not, people usually tell me I’m too nice.

Never heard of the DMA’s. Are they from Stockport?

How dare you! DMA's are Australian.

Blossoms are from Stockport and they're sound.

For the record you seem lovely to me and not at all smug!

I’m sure i would like both bands with alot of alcohol in my body.

Would probably dislike both bands when I has sobered up though.
