@tottenhamdom E.g.

£500m revenue less £550m costs = £50m loss. Spend based on £500m revenue

£200m revenue less £100m costs = £100m profit. Spend based on £200m revenue.

Numbers are extreme to show my thinking. Base it on the bottom line, not the top. That incentivises stability

@tottenhamdom @LeeTheMag @avfc_stef @RobertoMorriano They are spending it on wages, bills, security, infrastructure, etc. It just seems that if you generate enough revenue you can just buy more players. Incentives are to generate more revenue, not control costs.

@RobertoMorriano @tottenhamdom @LeeTheMag @avfc_stef Wasnt a "veiled pop". If I was gonna have a pop I'd just do it. Go and play in the kids corner and let the adults finish having a grown up conversation

[Simon Dumelow @simondumelow]

@tottenhamdom @LeeTheMag @avfc_stef @RobertoMorriano If youre fined based on losses, then transfer spending should be based on profit. Not revenue. You can generate 10x more revenue and 10x less profit. Currently no incentive to control costs.

Villa make losses so not like it would help us. Just makes it fairer in my opinion

@RobertoMorriano @tottenhamdom @LeeTheMag @avfc_stef It wasnt a pop at Spurs originally. But then you got involved. So my reply to you was. Get back in your box

[Simon Dumelow @simondumelow]

@tottenhamdom @LeeTheMag @avfc_stef @RobertoMorriano My issue is that revenue is the factor behind what youre allowed to spend. Not assets or debt.

I dont know Bournemouths position but as an example, they could be debt free with bucket loads of cash. They cant compete either. Theyll never generate the revenues of London clubs

[Simon Dumelow @simondumelow]

@tottenhamdom @LeeTheMag @avfc_stef @RobertoMorriano I said its not a pop at Spurs. Theyre just highlighted atm because theyre about to drop £85m on a twice relegated player. It isnt Spurs fault, but it still stinks.

Spurs have gone backwards on the pitch, but can spend what they like. Villa want to kick on but "arent allowed".

[Simon Dumelow @simondumelow]

@RobertoMorriano @tottenhamdom @LeeTheMag @avfc_stef Read the part where I said "The issue isnt Spurs" and "Its not a pop at Spurs".

We can compete on the pitch. We've proven that. The rules say we cant push on. Spurs might have "built" yet theyve gone backwards on the pitch. And there no owner funding in any of that "building"?

[Simon Dumelow @simondumelow]

@tottenhamdom @LeeTheMag @avfc_stef @RobertoMorriano The issue isnt Spurs spending revenue theyve generated. Fair play.

Spurs finished 17th 2 years running and can drop £200m+ on 3 players. Villa need to sell their best players to stand a chance of buying another for the CL

Its not a pop at Spurs. But how is that fit for purpose?

@JUSTIN_AVFC_ @WeAreTheOverlap Emery doesnt get the respect he deserves purely because of his time at Arsenal. They were already on the decline. Hes won multiple trophies over a decade at multiple clubs in different countries. Arteta wins one title and people talk like hes the second coming of Christ

[Simon Dumelow @simondumelow]

@myoldmansaid Thats just category 2. You know if we get to the knockouts and draw a top side then category 1 will be £100+

@johntownley11 Nothing like taking advantage of the feel good factor. To be expected. They don't mention anywhere that memberships have increased 25%

[Simon Dumelow @simondumelow]

@DeanAVFCL7 This has aged marvellously well 👏

[Simon Dumelow @simondumelow]

@SpursOfficial @AVFCOfficial Villa have finished above Spurs every season since Emery took over. We were even 17th when he came in and STILL finished above them. What do you need to do to be a "top six" club these days? Host a boxing match and a Beyonce concert?

[Simon Dumelow @simondumelow]

Sorry, is that Thomas Frank? Manager of @SpursOfficial? The same Tottenham who are currently 14th and finished 17th last season? But no Emery when @AVFCOfficial have finished 4th and 6th under him and now sit 3rd? The arrogance and disrespect are mind boggling #AVFC #THFC

@SkySportsNews Breaking news: A Spurs fan/ex-player hates something that Arsenal started and are good at that Spurs have tried to copy and failed miserably at.
