When compared to average punter on the street, I'm sure he's a very accomplished bloke.That's a pretty dim view of him. He's a physics graduate who retrained as an accountant and made a very rapid career progression as an investment banker working on prestige mergers and acquisitions like Man Utd for J&P Morgan.
Indeed:But, he’s running a multi billion dollar business, so when he’s measured by that stick he’s not that impressive.
But Ed Woodward told us all that performance on the pitch has no meaningful impact on commercial revenues!Indeed:
Especially in the last 3-4 years we've been lagging. Literally all the other major players have gained ground on us since 2016 (except for Arsenal, who have plummeted out of the top 10). Now off course this is related to on field performances, but for all of Ed's bluster about being the richest club in the world, it sure is alarming to see the likes of Liverpool rapidly gaining ground on us!
But we're not out of the CL. And even if we aren't in the CL next season, the full impact of income from our new stadium has not yet kicked in by some margin. As I've said before, some folk on here have wildly under-estimated how much extra revenue this is going to bring in for Spurs.That's not going to happen especially when your out of the CL.
It won't make up 80-100 million that you bring in from your CL run to the final last year... that's why the figures are inflated right now. To think you can pass us next year is a stupid dream, GlastonBut we're not out of the CL.

Funny our downturn completely coincides with Jose's tenure and is up with LVG and Ole.Indeed:

First, I said that matching Liverpool's income is the next financial target for Spurs - I didn't say it would be reached "next year".It won't make up 80-100 million that you bring in from your CL run to the final last year... that's why the figures are inflated right now.

Looking at the league table right now it's difficult to see Spurs in the CL next season. It remains to be seen if Jose has it in him to get anywhere near the great manager he once was. 2 or 3 years out of the CL will have a fairly significant effect on your income regardless of the extra money you get from increased gate receipts. For starters, potential new sponsors won't be prepared to pay big bucks if the CL anthem isn't being heard at your new stadium for any length of time.First, I said that matching Liverpool's income is the next financial target for Spurs - I didn't say it would be reached "next year".
Second, last year was not a full season in our new stadium, and nor will the income from our new stadium complex be maximised even for this season (our first full season in the new stadium) - there are several additional components yet to come on-stream. When that income is maximised you might wish to revisit your claim that it won't bring in an additional £80-100 million.
Third, who yet knows about CL income in the years to come for both clubs? Liverpool spent many years outside the CL until fairly recently - another fallow period could happen again. And meanwhile our increased income from the new stadium will continue regardless.
Very well supported club in the heartland of industrial Germany.How did schalke make this list? Didn't know they are such a force commercially especially given how they're always losing their best players
I mean... City cooking their books is kind of a big story? Unless you think a club with 2 titles in 5 years, nowhere in Europe with a tiny fanbase is able to generate such buzz that they become a runaway financial train?
Pretty fair points but I'd wince if United took up the stance of poo-pooing City's "creative" accounting.City's accounts mean absolutely nothing when their owner also owns nearly all the companies that provide sponsorship income to the club. It's financial doping.
Thanks for the info!Very well supported club in the heartland of industrial Germany.
Spurs fan and board should build a statue of Pochettino. Without him, they wouldn’t be so high
