Re: if Mourinho goes to Spurs in the summer...

p.s - And also comply with FFPR, with a new stadium at least four years away?

I agree with your thinking entirely but a stadium project wouldn't count towards FFPR for them. There is a significant clause in there about the construction of tangible fixed assets not counting towards losses. UEFA doesn't really care about actual losses, youth spending isn't counted either. There are a lot of funny rules in the document but Spurs could build their new stadium without it affecting their transfer business according to the rules (whether they have the money to do both is another question.)

I think you got the wrong end of the stick

The three previous points are about FFPR and then the icing is that the case generator, ie a new stadium for the six billion fans, is four years away

Ohhh right as if the new stadium being justification to spend that kind of money while its still years away. Yes, missed the point.

I would be less shocked if he showed up at QPR.

if Mourinho goes to Spurs in the summer...

So, just to be clear...

Spuds are going to pay Real's compensation figure of £20m, Jose's £10m a year salary, an additional £5m a year for his backroom team and give him a huge transfer budget?

And all before any guarantee of Champions League football next season and finding £300m for a new stadium.

Wow, have they been taken over by the Abu Dhabi royal family!

They can't even find the money to pay Adebayor his weekly wage, never mind the £10m transfer fee.

They'll just after sell Bale then all their money problems are solved. They could then name their new stadium after Bale considering he's paid for it.

Spurs is run by Levy and he and Mourinho would never get along. mourinho needs big money and even Arsenal and Liverpool dont have enough money for him, let alone spurs

I rate Rodgers at Swansea considering they have come up and have a team who cost less than most of our squad individually it is incredible. Read recently that in the European top flight only city, united, real, bayern and barca had completed more passes than swansea. He coaches fantastic football and he speaks four languages but I reckon he will go to Chelsea .

I would actually give him the England job and prime him for the world cup in 3 years, much better long term prospect than Redknapp

About all the talk of money he needs:

Perhaps the new challenge he is looking for is a limited transfer fund one.

Stranger things have happened.
