Back to Channel 5 on a Thursday next year.
A Liverpool supporting mate of mine suggested this to me last night. Yeah I thought, along with Liverpool themselves!

If we're fucking lucky. Brum's got one of those spots haven't they, after winning the FA Cup? Meaning only 5th placed go to EL. More than likely that'll be you lot.

Enjoying every moment, not expecting it to be repeated.
It's all a fine achievement. If Tottenham had double the wage bill - as the goons do (£60 million vs. £120 million) - we'd expect more from it. Like cups, even.

you spend it on transfer fees, they spend it on wages.

Don't talk that internet accountant bollocks again. We invest better than most, is the point.

Unban's fav internet accountant!1! As said a thousand times 'spend' means nothing at all, except on Internet forums.
According to 'spend' Bale is a £10 million liability, Lennon a £1 million liability, Modric a £16 million liability. What they are also is a £100 million asset. etc, etc, etc.
The next thing to consider is the return on the asset - as in did the asset contribute to the club attracting CL receipts: what is the ROI on that investment?
But maybe you should stick to your gibbering LOL, it's probably a lot more comforting.

I REALLY hope you sell Modric AND Bale to actually cash in on that investment. (ha ha ha!) .When you do I'd love to see who you replace with them and then what position you end up in the league.
You can rant on about some accounting bollox as much as you want the bottom line is you'll never reach that amount for them as they are essential for your long term future and therefore it would be be suicidal to sell them.

I love you having a go at me and irobot for being internet accountants and then well being an accountant on the internet.
Thrifty spurs are very thirfty.

Spending is a combination of net transfer fees, wages and depreciation in asset value as contacts run down (amortisation). We (Spurs) lay out a lot in transfer fees, recoup plenty through sales, are within our means on wages (relative to turnover with or without Champions League next season) and keep the majority of our better players tied to long term contracts. Not exactly thrifty but our "spending" is absolutely dwarfed by the now traditional top 4 and Man City, yet here we are challenging to get back in Europe's elite competition; not bad huh?

From a year or so back. Untold Arsenal
Their wage bill is roughly 60% of ours, £60.4 million against our £104 million, though their wages are higher as a percentage of turnover at 53.5% (we stand at 46.2%). Both of those percentages are well within recommended limits of 60%, and Spurs are very healthy at the operating level, with profits reported for the last five years totalling over £104 million against our £142million.

So the percentage spend on players is higher with you in regards turnover. At least it was a year ago.

Fwiw, I posted - with evidence - on your own thread that in 2009/10 the goon wage bill was £120 million and Tottenham's was £60 million.
The very obvious thing about wages is it's largely money pissed up the wall - £60 million a more per season than Tottenham.
The very obvious thing about buying and selling players is they are an investment which, as the advert says, may go up or down. Sometimes very up, as with Bale, Lennon, Modric, THudd, VdV, etc.
Yield/ROI is a complicated combination of both measured against income generated.

So how will this play out tonight?
Lennon and Bale shred them to pieces, Crouch makes amends, and we're 2 up after 10 minutes?
The crowd are even more mental than on Sol Cambell's return, Madrid don't know what day it is and Mourinho's brain is swimming?
The third goes in just after the break - a lovely Bale free kick into the top corner - and the place goes bersek - the demented men in white develop almost supernatural abilities and . . . .
