'Arry has done a great job there but the squad wasnt bought on a shoestring.
Paul Tomkins posted the spreadsheet last season with the squad value based on transfer fees of each of the "big 6" clubs. Spurs was over £200m, and even more now with the acquisitions of Bassong, Sandro and Vdv.
Spurs are a well run club financially. That wasn't the point I was making. Just that it hasn't been done on a shoestring. The insane (from a Manchester perspective) ticket prices you can charge, together with Lewis' backing has seen you spend a ton of money. With a £200m+ squad I can't take the earlier posters shoestring comments seriously.
