A piece on Spurs' transfer window like no other with more to come, the drive for major change behind the scenes and the misplaced outrage from other clubs. https://t.co/jpyxnOf3WT
Tottenham mapped out a pathway for every competitor to follow that doesn’t benefit from sports washing or being funded by a nation state. No self sponsoring cheating or dodgy finances. Yet for some reason we are the ones everyone has a problem with. No mention of Chelsea or city?
Rivals crying that Spurs are 'breaking PSR rules' or getting 'Big Six protection' is peak delusion.
You think this financial freedom happened overnight?
Sit down, grab a calculator, and let’s take a chronological walk through 25 years of Levy’s masterclass 👇
1️⃣ Bought land around old WHL bit by bit (years and years of negotiation and planning).
2️⃣ Maintained a strict wage structure that cost us targets but saved our future.
3️⃣ Sold stars for premium profit (Berbatov, Carrick, Modric, Bale, Walker, Kane).
4️⃣ Literally went through back-to-back ZERO-purchase transfer window. This was under Poch when we were knocking on the door of the PL title and reacihng a CL final. We bled so we could run.
5️⃣ Built a world-class stadium that prints non-football revenue 365 days a year (NFL, concerts, boxing). Re-financed the stadium over long term investment tranches so that the non-football revenue pays for it and then some.
We didn’t cheat the system; we built a system that safeguards us against the financial parameters that all clubs have to work within.
If you're going to cry, educate yourself and then point it at Chelsea and Man City - those are the only two clubs that broke rules and got away with it. They are the very reason the rules are in place now.
We are massive.
The shackles are off.
Deal with it 🤍

England's greatest.
We're living in a genuine age of wonder and people want to roll around in the mud with Watkins because they're blinded by some club rivalry.
It took Spurs 20+ years to build the infrastructure and revenue to compete like this.
Thats 20+ years of pain and ridicule we had to live thru in the meantime.
Blame your owners who tried to take shortcuts instead of building this type of sustainable competitive foundation.
@danbardell What about qualifying for Europe 17 years out of 20, selling Carrick, Walker, Modric, Bale, Berbatov and Kane to the established elite to fund a business model around rules that have existed for 15 years without external help?
