Spurs thread 2020/21

Time for some gems -

Is it weird that I don’t think we were that bad?

Oil moneyball will win more times than not. Let’s just move on.//

//Fuck city. All my homies hate city. Any club would be good given all the money in the world.//

"Oil money & just move on"....LLLWLL in their last 6 games...not our fault they are shit
 
Kane probably leave spurs at 32/33 to a team like the scum or Juventus for 30m if he is still bagging He is stuck at spurs now with market and covid because I can’t see Levy excepting anything less than 150m
 
Despite us playing great recently we are yet to see how we cope if we go behind or need a last minute winner. Not that I want to test that yet. :-)

Dog shit. See you in the final Spuds, you’re going to get smashed.

Maureen won’t set up like that in the final, plus they will have a free reign to do whatever they like without getting booked until 80th min, pretty much the same as yesterday.
I really want us to hammer them. We could so easily have had 6 or 7 yesterday if we had been ruthless and clinical.
 
I would say congrats on the win yesterday but, to be brutally honest, it doesn't take much to beat Spurs at the moment! That said, your boys are on an exceptional run of results and clearly playing very well. Back to your best of a couple of seasons ago? Quite some turnaround from early season when a large number on BM were questioning whether it was time for Pep to go (and wondering what Gundogan had to do to get dropped)!

As to Spurs, I was never convinced about Jose's appointment but was prepared to give him time to prove me wrong. At 3-0 up 20 minutes into the game against West Ham back in October, I thought that we could finally be onto something. We looked lethal going forward. But for the remaining 70 minutes of that game and ever since, we have been dogshit. I haven't watched any of our games since early December. Makes me too pissed off to see such attacking talent go to waste; and too nervous to watch a porous defence trying to see out narrow wins rather than the team trying to score more. Not good for the state of mind given everything else going on in the world!

I think Jose's days are numbered, even in the unlikely event that he does win a trophy this season. I can hardly wait for the day that he goes.

Just a quick word about this debt that you've been discussing on here....

First off, even in Swiss Ramble's very broad definition of debt, the headline figure is £1.17 billion - not £1.77 billion as claimed on here!

Secondly, Swiss Ramble's (self-confessedly academic) definition of debt includes:

- financial debt
- transfer debt
- operational debt (wages owed to staff etc.)

It is by adding these three up that he arrives at the total of £1.17 billion. But bear in mind that this particular Swiss Ramble twitter thread was focusing on debt. If you look behind the headline figure, you will also see that:

- Spurs has £252 million in cash and transfer receivables
- operational debt is effectively just the normal costs of running the business

So what it amounts to in the real world is this:

Spurs has £605m net financial debt plus £114m net transfer debt. A total of £719m actual debt. Operational debt is covered by operational income.

All in all, none of this is surprising. Spurs took on £650m debt for the stadium construction and a further £175m from the Bank of England to help cope with the fallout from COVID. The vast majority of the debt is long term (average maturity 23 years) and total interest payments are modest at £15m per annum. Interest on the BoE loan, at 0.5% pa, accounts for £875K of the interest payable.

So while the figures seem huge, there is no immediate cause for concern for Spurs - especially if, as expected, the ongoing impact of COVID will lead to extending the BoE loan for as long as is necessary.

Just for the shits and giggles, let’s hope you’re wrong on Pegs days being numbered ;)

I thought Mourinho was a busted flush half way through his Old Trafford stint and I afraid he is even worst now. Football has moved on and his methods don’t work anymore. I always think it is a useful idea to try to understand someone’s motivations and the only way ones I can see for him now is maximising his income and bloodying a few noses on the way. I really hope he goes into punditry after White Hart Lane, if he doesn’t and just moves further down the football chain (like Sven after City) he will lose a lot of respect.

Fair play for coming on I had wondered why I hadn’t seen you on in a while, if true and Maureen has put you off watching your team then that’s a sad state of affairs but Levy and I presume uncle Joe knew exactly what they were signing up for and really should know better. He’s done as a manager and his power of personality has been seen through by the majority of fans, his next club should one be foolish will be either some Russian/Saudi outfit with more money than sense.

I presume the Kane “Clash” conversation is going to ramp up big style, CL looking doubtful and one chance this year of silverware, it’s his last genuine window to move.
 
Bale gets a token last substitute slot 18 minute cameo at 3-0 down and the result of it is a top headline report written about his resurrection. Fucking hell.

Pep change his system which released Gundogan from his double pivot and playing gundogan further forward.

I`ve forgiven Pep and Gundogan now they`ve both seen the light.
