    We already do. Pretty much all players contracts have a sizeable signing on fee (also called a loyalty bonus) that is spread over the length of the contract. When a story comes out that a player is on e.g. £200k a week, that is typically their combined wage and loyalty bonus figure.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    As I said…. sugar was a godsend for Levy and ENIC as it fooled some of our fans into thinking that we weren’t a big 6 club.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Sorry but you’re either too young to remember (I don’t know how old you are) you misremember or you don’t want to remember because it doesn’t fit your narrative. I remember the protests as I was part of them along with a bunch of others on the old SIMB message board (I could be wrong here but I...

    No it wasn’t. The Sugar out protests came way after Venables. They were in George Graham’s time at the club.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Looking at our non football operating costs I’m not convinced we make a great deal of profit on the additional stadium events. It could well be that a standard build stadium used only for additional events with the stadium in football mode actually left more money that could be invested in the...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    There was a big protest about getting Sugar out, far bigger in numbers and more vociferous than the Levy out mob. Alan Sugar was absolutely brilliant for Levy and ENIC, he stabilised the finances and then tricked some Spurs fans into thinking that we were t a big club with massive (rich) support

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    I think chasing the NFL franchise is actually a bad thing. It caused the stadium spend to go through the roof and had left us with high operating costs, and even if Tottenham did get an NFL franchise it would only benefit the owners net worth and not THFC itself. I think it is one of the...

    And there was me thinking people wanted Sugar out precisely because of that?

    I’d like to see him being loaned again. Playing first team football is what he needs right now. He improved a lot last season but still has a lot of improving to do to become a PL level striker. A good championship loan would be the right thing for him and us I think.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I think that is him done for a long while at a big club, possibly forever. He failed dismally. I have no doubts that he is a nice bloke but being a nice bloke is mutually exclusive from being a good football manager.

    To become a Liverpool you need owners who value winning trophies more than they value increasing their own personal wealth

    As well as the big salary that he paid himself.

    Oh if only we could win 3 major trophies in 12 years again at some point of the rest of my life!

    Spurs Revisonist History - Pochettino Summer of 2016

    Just the two that Pochettino actually asked for and that we could've got if we'd actually properly gone in for them and paid the fee and wages..... Sadio Mane and Georginio Wijnaldum. Instead both of them were signed by Liverpool who we'd finished above for two years in a row and who weren't...

    J P van Hecke

    Amateurs! It's not August 31st yet. What are they doing getting players in early, haven't they realised we could save the player's wages over the whole summer? (thinks Daniel Levy somewhere;) )

    Luka Vuskovic

    Holding him hostage?….Seriously?… I’ve no doubt that they will sell Van Hecke, they just don’t have to sell him for our current bid. I suspect he’ll end up going (to us or another club, bigger than Brighton) for around £40m and the player getting a very nice wage bump at the new club.

    Luka Vuskovic

    A team where he will get a significant rise on his current Spurs salary, play first team PL football and then likely be sold for very big money (and a comparable very big salary) to a top team 2 years later. The agent seems very good to me.

    Luka Vuskovic

    His agent is doing a superb job. He works for the player, not Spurs.

    IMO the problem was that we had massively under invested in our recruitment department that pretty much consisted of Steve Hitchen only. That and the terrible flip-flopping when sacking and hiring managers meant that we wasted a hell of a lot of money on players not fit for purpose either at...
