How do people still not understand the basics of this Spurs/Villa & Newcastle argument. So infuriating how silly it is. We generate 10s, 100s of millions more a year than Villa and Newcastle.
Because for years we had the lowest wages to revenue % in the league. Built the best facilities in Europe. Our stadium now prints money.
‘There’s no consequences for them’ - how about when we went three transfer windows not spending a single penny because of the investment in the facilities/stadium, watching the best team of my lifetime fall apart directly because of that lack of investment? That sounds like a pretty devastating consequence to me.
And now we’re reaping the rewards (being able to spend big money after b2b 17th place finishes), that’s a problem?
Finished in Europe nearly every single year for the last 20 years.
We’ve set ourselves up with work over a 15+ year period (which is where credit has to go to Levy & the owners), which yes has impacted us on the pitch negatively, to be in one of the best financial positions of any club in Europe.
But no, according to these angry fans it’s purely and simply because we are attached to some nonsense ‘big six’ label
