Interesting:
Tottenham owners make club private in a bid to boost financial backing for new stadium

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...-boost-financial-backing-for-new-stadium.html

The announcement of plans to 'de-list' the club from the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) came as Spurs revealed record revenues for the 2010-2011 season.

Thanks to Champions League football revenue rose almost £44m to £163.5m, with operating profits up 42 per cent to £32.3m.

The cost of maintaining a large squad for Europe saw costs rise sharply too however, up 35 per cent to £131.2m (2010: £97.1m). The club recorded a pre-tax profit of £400,000.

The intention to take the club private is the clearest indication yet that Spurs are pressing ahead with the Northumberland Park development next to White Hart Lane following their defeat in the Olympic Stadium bid.

Jesus: up 42% / £44 mill in one year - so that's what reaching the CL quarter-finals does for you.
 
It's not really that interesting, though, is it? Decision-making has always been with ENIC; all delisting will mean is that rather less info gets leaked out in the course of AGMs or as price-sensitive disclosure. Unless you have some club paper, of course.
 
I suppose it's a clear indication of where things are in terms of the new stadium - having done the sums, acquired the land, gained the permissions, put Boris in a headlock until he squeeled, finance appears to be the final step before the diggers arrive on site.

I am interested in the financial implications of CL involvement. We know it's mostly about tv revenues - esp. in a 36,000 stadium - but it's nice to have after the fact numbers (like the increase in season-on-season income of £44 mill).
 
ALEX McLeish has urged Alan Hutton to show Tottenham what they are missing after claiming Villa’s new right-back was the pioneer of Kyle Walker’s swashbuckling style of play.

Hmm, yes, Hutton taught Giacinto Facchetti, Paul Breitner, Mauro Tassotti, Cafu, Bixente Lizarazu and even Ashley Cole all they know/knew. :rolleyes:
 
I saw this from mid-October - an interview with 'arry in the Telegraph:

But I still have the same enthusiasm. I love going in and working with good players. I love the way they shift the ball about in training. I’d find it harder now to go and work with inferior players. These lads are great to watch.”

Redknapp is still the favourite to succeed Fabio Capello when the Italian steps down as England head coach after Euro 2012. His position, though is unwavering: flattered in principle, sanguine in practice.

“It would be a difficult one for someone to turn down, especially for an Englishman. But I enjoy the Premier League, and managing week to week. I like being involved every day. That’s what keeps me going.”

It suggests to me a man, finally, having the time of his life, and knows it, and he would be very reluctant to give it up:

What a goal - getting rid of Crouch and getting Adebayor in has made such a difference... just the kind of overhead kick Crouch wouldve fluffed and grinned about.

Spurs looking so confident and in control today - beautiful to watch
 
You could win this 5-0 if you weren't so wasteful. Villa still horrible, no organisation, no pressure, no plan seemingly.
