There is no reason to worry about low interest debt for a company that makes £500M+ a year.

It ain't low interest

We turnover £500m.

Yep same, I think it also puts all the pressure on this window being a 10/10 because you get down the line and say Savinho is a flop at near 100m, you are going to struggle to replace him, especially when you owe a chunk of revenue to repayments

What is the rate?

Reported 6-9s but even that was when base rates were much lower than they are now.

I am a Commercial Finance Broker. That is low for a working capital loan. Most business of Spurs size will be 10-15% at the moment. Man Utd were borrowing at 29% from the same type of loan from the same form a few years back.

As I say figures from lower base rate days
Is that since the Glazers?...clarify 29% from Macquarie?
Borrowing from the future is never a good idea. $40 trillion gov snowball your side of the pond innit?

Yeh it’s a disaster but I’d argue the US has greater capacity to sustain it than the UK even if the debt ratio is lower. Not to dissimilar to Spurs vs other Prem clubs.

If we’re needing immediate cash to fund the initial payments on this big transfer movement, you can see why.
Wasn’t it being put about that we were offering West Ham a massive chunk of the Fernandes money up front? We would need special measures to do that, and afford so many other deals

But the cash that’s come in for STs and other revenues covers that
They did this last season
Then injected another lump sum
It ain’t adding up right for me
And paying £1m a month interest is big money

Their dad brought it, Levy built it. these guys in charge done nothing but be gifted it.
I have zero faith they know what they are doing.
100% agree. I like De Zerbi but they are putting a lot of faith in him. And if he or his signings don’t work out for whatever reason there is not going to be much left in the bank or rather borrow against to rectify and go again.
Hardly one to defend the nepo babies, but ..
- We can hardly be expected to need to rebuild an entire team again in short term (6-8 Senior incoming should be a one off)
- With Solanke, Maddison, Odobert, Bergvall, Xavi, Gallagher, Deki, we will probably sell at least 3 of them next summer, plus some more of the youth/academy
- It's a moment, every other top 6 club except the Scum have a new manager, Villa, Saudi Sportswashing Machine and likely Brighton are being picked apart, RDZ has a head start with last season, ad mostly one game a week,
- CL football achievement will probably go a long way to refilling the pot of cash. This year is also first full year of expanded number of allowed non football events at the Stadium.

Agree.
There is blood in the water and now is the time to be brave and back the man they invested heavily in to do the job. The financial infrastructure is in place and being London-based we must be one of the most desirable sporting assets in Europe for any potential investors/buyers.
The LA Lakers were just valued at $12 Billion in their latest sale so I would imagine the nepo babies are wanting to raise our profile to gain a valuation of at least half that. Invest 500mil for a 2billion increase in value…good business.

the current ownership bought the club for hundreds of millions and now its worth billions in equity - so they have done the right thing imo.
that said i am still uncomfortable with the amounts we are paying, but its just so spurssssy that when we have the means to spend, liverpool, chelsea, Emirates Marketing Project, man U and real are also rebuilding with new managers.

I don’t think it’s Spurssy, I don’t think it’s bad luck, I think we’re simply doing what it takes to compete at the top now. We’ve had a strategy, we’re executing against it. Other top clubs will always be spending, or like when Liverpool won the league, will be good without that many new signings.
We simply had to elevate from refusing to pay top wages and being unable to move decisively on our top targets. Now that we are doing that, there’s no reason we can’t win trophies consistently.
