I think it will be the catalyst for a deal - it could become one of the most famous stadiums in the world with football and NFL covered.
You're right it could. So would make sense to have 'Tottenham Hotspur Stadium' mentioned every few minutes than (for example) 'The DHL Stadium, London'.
My original point was the value of the games to us are worth much more than £1-2m you stated in match receipts. I said the global exposure and commercial deals would eclipse the gate fee and that Man U aren't the machine they are due to gate receipts, to which you said I was some sales or marketing muppet as I don't have the figures to hand.
You boasted that your forecasts done on the back of a fag packet were often close and accurate, your words not mine... I personally think working out the value with so many variables is very complex. I've been invloved in long protracted deals around hosting, ticketing and broadcasting international sporting events - that's my experience.
Levy would have paid a consultancy to work out the value this exposure will bring to the brand and this will determine his decision.
Like I said... a report will come out in the next year or so as to the real value the NFL link brings, personally, based in the stuff i'm involved with I believe it's massive.
No bad feelings, have a good evening dude. Just don't tell me i'm FOS when it's my bread and butter...
Gentlemen, are you ready to face each other down with whiteboard pointers at dawn.
Only 1.67 Sissokos? Bargain.
The international break! What wonders will it bring us next!
We are a club who plaster all over our ground the whole Bill Nick myth and legend. The game is about glory.... we have set out sights high etc etc.
I think we can expect glory glory nights no? It’s our history. It’s why we are Spurs. Isn’t it???
FA cup. The thousands of times people who have said it - well they are very wrong.
Right now it’s 2019. So let’s say 33 years ago was 1986 -87. Coventry won it. I remember that clearly for some reason!!
1995 Everton won it.
2008 Portsmouth won it.
2017 Woolwich won it. They finished 5th!!
And we have finished in the top 4 now quite a few times and never won it! Surely we should have won it by now!! That’s a joke btw
I’m playing devils advocate because I think the club really plays on the whole glory glory thing. And it’s laughable in the way the West Ham 66 club is because the reality is we are more Profit Profit than glory glory these days tbh.
I’m not living in the past that’s for sure.
(And Bill Nicholson had spurs as the big spenders of the day as Norman Giller will testify all day long).
Like you say. We’re not in it to win things. Spurs supporters expect to win nothing now. The opposite of Liverpool fans who think they will win everything.
Last season was more luck than design for us, more design than luck for the Scousers.
As is being proven right now.
Hard to believe that there are pages and pages from 'fans' trying to convince other fans they are supporting a shit club, that constantly fail, and has no ambition. why?
Bill Nic never came out with that quote until he had won something before then he was shtum, wise man don't you think? I also think we right now are the very epitome of that quote, a Club that's outperforming all the moneyed Clubs (currently at a high of 10th richest in Europe, having never won it and only ever qualifying to compete for it 5 times in our history, getting to the Champions League Final but failing to win it. If losing a CL Final doesn't have an echo of Glory, whilst failing to win the biggest Club Cup Competition in the world then what the fuck does?).We are a club who plaster all over our ground the whole Bill Nick myth and legend. The game is about glory.... we have set out sights high etc etc.

"Glory, Glory Nights" Well that came about from a "Glory, Glory, Hallelujah" First sung in 1961 in the 2nd leg FIRST round match against Gornik, not a Cup Final but our first-ever European game played at the Lane, not really "Glory" in the sense that you are referencing it to but in fact a song is sung in jest and retaliation to the press saying we were no Angles in the first leg. So NOTHING to do with winning anything, that's the history.
I don't think we were lucky last year, I think we deserved to get to the final, I also think we deserved to win it, I thought we were the better of the two poor quality teams on the night. I think we were very unlucky to have only 1 point after however many games it was. The ONLY side that outplayed us in that entire run was Barca at Wembley. Liverpool was lucky that the pen (which clearly came off Sissoko's chest before hitting his arm) wasn't reviewed by VAR.
What a great line. Bang on the money, to..
This is why I love your posts Guido.
Some great facts. Argue your points well. Take your time to explain rather than just throwing an X on there.
Top man.
I personally think a lot of supporters get drawn to trophies. I grew up in the 80s. In Hertfordshire. Guess how many Liverpool fans I know.
Right now we are doing very well. But IMHO we could have done better.
Trophies would have been their in the history books for eternity.
From here history would say we are either going to drop off and away from this peak, or enter a cycle where we again have young potential. Interesting times and one the board will have the most say in. Investment in players becomes key again. Well good investment.
And maybe this batch of players has installed a higher mentality within the club than we have had before, lets see.
Ultimately the squad was good enough and had the chances, to win the league, cups and yes the CL. So maybe you are right. Our failures will have an echo of glory. The big man was spot on with his saying.
And the Glory glory nights.......
Personally I think the club and the imagery they use around the stadium and those nights reflects our heritage of winning trophies more than a first round match against Gornik or the games we lost.
But will start to look out for those photos!
Nike stadium doesn't make them question who plays there. In fact, a lot of Americans are anti Nike
Getting the team name in print, soundbite etc over there as much as possible is big.
The more Americans that click stories about THFC the more news it generates. Look at how much shit we have to read about United every day. They're a big deal so outlets keep talking about them to "sell" news.
We need a peice of that action. That will result in bigger sponsorships and incomes.
Take that - the theme music to the menopause

Y, y, you do know we've won the FA Cup EIGHT times, right?
You do realise that we've won it IN your time line, right?
I agree it's been an inappropriate amount of time since we won it, but let's not over sentationalise things.
lol. Someone else had pointed out in 33 years we have been one of the few to win an FA cup. I don’t think I’m going over the top. We win nothing these days!
My own words
“I’m not living in the past that’s for sure”.
Carry on celebrating our 8. And yeah I can remember when we had won it the most of all clubs.
It was the phrase "yet we've never won it"
We've won it more times than all the teams you've mentioned. Everton have won 9 league titles to our 2, yet they haven't won the FA Cup in 24 years to our 28. Who is failing? We've won the league cup twice since they won the FA Cup and they have won absolutely nothing in that time. I don't believe they have even had a final of any sort to lose in, let alone a Championd League final?

And someone has the temerity to disagree!
