    So as far as FFP goes we will look pretty good.

    Not sure we can plan our summer spending to include Champions League money in subsequent seasons mind (supposed to be around 100M with about 80% of that from TV money)… because if we don’t make it after next season then our wages and remaining payments will be burning a big hole in the balance and restrict our spending in the future.

    So I agree that we will have a nice pot of money to spend (once CL footy is definitively ours) but just not sure how much we will actually spend on fee’s and wages, and also Eddie might have his own thoughts about how many players he would want to bring into the squad at any one time.

    I’m sure everyone has their lists of outgoings and positions they want to see reinforced/replaced… but we probably won’t do it all in the summer.
    Correct - due to the wealth of our owners the biggest advantage of CL football isn’t the prize money but the amount it allows us to spend on new players within the FFP rules.
    This is the reason our owners have been so smart in bringing in the backroom staff as it’s not a case of just throwing money around to build a good squad. We still need to continue to be very savvy in our purchases.
    Because of Ashworth, I expect us to buy like Brighton. No ‘Neymars and Messis’ but ‘ McAllisters, Caicedos and Ecisios’. This will mean two things: we can buy more players within the FFP rules (which we will need as we’ll play in more competitions), and that we won’t need to pay mega salaries as we would for established stars.

    We are in fact being run as a mirror image of Chelsea FC.

    We only need one point for Champions League,I would take the draw against Leicester if it would keep them up and put Leeds and Everton down.

    Would it not be better if Leicester went down could get a player or two cheaper

    I would think that the players that we would want would be those who show some fight when the chips are down. Leicester's players seem to have proven of late that they are not these kinds of players

    I was thinking this too although I’ve read that Maddison did put up some fight v the dippers.

    Whats the prize money for 3rd? About £111 mill? With a bit of ambition theres a third of what we were bought for back already. Unbelieveable.

    The fatman will be kicking himself with that and how much the squads value has at least double since EH came in.

    I like yer thinking! My preference would be for Leeds and Everton to go down but I want us to beat Leicester, and finish the season on a high, so looks like I can’t have my cake n eat it. Will just have to settle for Leicester and Leeds relegated.

    Nope closer to £150million when combining Facilities earning etc.

    Spurs - 21/22

    Equal share: £79m
    Facility fees: £25.4m
    Merit payment: £45.1m
    Commercial revenue: £5.6m
    Total: £155.1m

    So we'll have less Commercial but that's small beer.

    We should earn around 125-140m when we finish 3rd depending commercial revenue.

    Throw in next seasons CL money + the new Sponsor deal.

    We're loaded!

    Is there an increase in TV money as well?
