The Tottenham Thread 13/14 part 3.

[stony]

Comparing one managers record with that of another manager at the same club is pretty useless as a measure of their relative skill. It doesn't take into account the quality of the squad at their disposal. Put Roberto Mancini in charge of the squad that took City down to League One, and put Alan Ball in charge of our current squad, and see what their win percentages say. Does any of that give you a clue whether Mancini or Ball are the better manager? Of course not. AVB has a very good record at Spurs, but he should do, he's been given a crap load of money to spend on building a top quality squad, something many other managers before him would have killed for. How many times has he broken the Spurs transfer record in his time there? And by what margins?

Spurs set three new club transfer records this summer:

Paulinho Corinthians, Brazil Jly-13 £17,000,000 (fee equal to David Bentley with the add-ons)
Roberto Soldado Valencia, Spain Aug-13 £25,900,000
Erik Lamela AS Roma, Italy Aug-13 £29,900,000

Since AVB was appointed Tottenham's manager, a total of £165,614,000 was paid on new players.

But during exactly the same period, a total of £177,553,000 was received from players sold-on.

So in fact, AVB has made a profit of a tad under £12m from player trading during his time as Tottenham's manager.

That's hardly "been given a crap load of money to spend", whichever way you look at it.

So you don't buy expensive players?

Well I suppose it all depends on how you define "expensive".

Spurs have sold three different players all for more than our record incoming transfer.

Sergei Rebrov

He was really quite expensive. Especially that time.

Robbie Keane. Expensive.

Gazza.

Soldado.

Actually the list is endless. I can't do pie charts sorry.

What's the weather like there?

Spurs have spent plenty over the years pal. Your owners have cashed in too Bale for example just like Man U did with Ronaldo.

Don't start trying to say you spend fuck all. You've been spending for years.

Most clubs who want any success do. Have you succeeded?

THFC6061's definition of spending is actually to take the money spent, and the money received, on transfers, and then come up with the difference between the two (whether it's in the red or the black). The fact that that's not actually how you define the word "spend" consistently seems to pass him by.

The last time Spurs broke the British transfer record was back in 1970 when we paid £200,000 for Martin Peters (although Jimmy Greaves went to West Ham United as part of the deal for around £54,000).

Prior to that, Martin Chivers move from Southampton to Spurs in 1968 was a British record fee at £125,000.

Obviously, transfer fees have risen sharply since then but Tottenham Hotspur invariably get more for the players sold-on than we pay for them (although there are always exceptions which prove the rule).

I'll tell you in May.

And for what it's worth, Tottenham have made a profit of £70,760,180 from player trading during the Premier League Era.
