da aposte e ganhe: Tottenham Hotspur fans have all made the same point after the Deloitte Football Money League claimed that the club are the richest in London.
da wazamba: Spurs’ revenue for the 2018/19 season stands at £459.3m, leaving them eighth among European clubs.
The number comes after they earned £379.4m in 2017/18.
Indeed, Spurs are now ranked higher than Chelsea, Arsenal, Atletico Madrid and Juventus.
And supporters are baffled as to how they are not spending more than they currently are, aiming their ire at both ENIC and chairman Daniel Levy.
Of course, the supporters are right.
Spurs are behind only Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool when it comes to Premier League clubs and earning revenue.
The big fat Tottenham quiz of 2019 – how much do you remember about the last year at Spurs?
Yet there is frustration over the lack of proper squad depth at the club. They do not have a back-up striker, for example, with Harry Kane injured, while Moussa Sissoko’s injury has left a yawning chasm in midfield.
Spurs are closing in on the loan signing of Gedson Fernandes from Benfica and are trying to do a deal for Sporting’s Bruno Fernandes, per sources, but they face competition, ironically, from United.
An 18-month loan deal for Gedson, a player who is just 21 and is unproven at any sort of level, is not going to satiate the hunger of particular supporters for a big-money signing.
This information from Deloitte is only going to increase that frustration.
Meanwhile, Spurs fans have had their say on a potentially huge swap deal involving Christian Eriksen.
