There is a question around how much debt they can carry. They must be close to a billion now, given their stadium debt, the loans they took to get them through Covid, and the way they’ve churned managers and players.

Not sure of the latest figures , but I read on a Spurs fan website that the club was able to take advantage of the low interest rates to replace its stadium debt with a cheaper, long term debt. The website claims the club have saved £250m from doing so and that has allowed them to already pay off the £175m it borrowed during covid.
It will be interesting to see what happens with Kane and whether he settles down again under Conte, or whether a deal with City takes place.
Makes sense. It’s easy money for 6 months more max.
I think Daniel Levy doesnt get the credit he deserves from spurs fans. Like all football fans they’re missing the forest for the trees. The new stadium sets Spurs up really nicely for the future.
The problem is that Levy has been aware of the need to refresh elements of the squad and has become an obstacle to many of those changes happening. He is part of the reason the quality of their squad has deteriorated over the last few years.
I agree. I wonder how much Solskjaer’s situation at United forced Levy’s hand if he felt he could miss out on Conte if he didn’t move now?

I’m actually not sure it has. I dont see too much difference in the quality of the players man for man relative to the team that challenged Leicester in 2014-15 its just they’re not as good a unit with many of the individual players not playing up to their expected standard.

100% correct - but it was going to happen because he (over)spent on their new stadium, speculating to accumulate through that rather than player investment. I guess something had to give, and given Poch had Spurs over performing, it was going to need a special manager to make it work there.
Tried the Special 1 - but about 15 years too late.
Conte is another dictator type - he’s going to ruffle a few feathers, get them playing well, but ultimately I don’t think there will be success in the shape of any trophies there.
Hopefully Conte will fire them up enough, to inflict further misery on Everton next Sunday.

Rafa’s job will be the next on the line if that happens.

Rafa will be out by Christmas I think
I agree. Both Nuno and Conte play to a large extent a similar brand of football , if paratici (who obviously is a believer in that brand of football is there as DoF)… Why not get the master of the trade instead of a very good one…
Nuno if given time would turn the spurs unit around imo but levy won’t allow that
what a fucking gong show this game is. three red cards

If not by Christmas, then certainly new year if he puts a red bauble on his tree.
