I’d say if they were so confident of a return it would be their money rather than a loan against future earnings.
Personally I was much happier with the way Levy ran the place than what I’ve seen since he left.

The debate is, Levy never gambled, and that's what people held against him. Now the Nepo's are gambling, let's hope they are lucky.

Unfortunately, this is modern football if you want to 'compete' with the very top for trophies. Philosophically, I agree with you. Coldly -looking at the state of the game today- well, this is how you break into the trophy circles...it is why I felt double-gutted re: 2019, because we so nearly did it without any of that flimflam. And it is also why I think our Europa victory was massively underrated (even Villa overspent themselves into their current 'issue's in winning theirs). Someone will say Leicester, but they bent spending rules to get promoted the previous year...sadly we are where we are and the 'game' is most certainly getting weirder and weirder!

Two players who had never played in the PL. This is very different from that.

I’d argue that this is less of a gamble, signing players who have already proven they can cope with PL football.

Trophies should be a by product of good practice.
In the current environment I don’t think chasing them is worth the risk.
I don’t care if we never win anything as long as we are well run and in the CL regularly.

Hello Daniel.
(The problem is that when your aim is to just qualify and you’re competing against teams who’s aim is to win then you soon find yourself no longer competing).

Considering the financial expertise on the board at Spurs not sure why taking money out in a lump sum which will be covered by future guaranteed revenue is a problem . If it's true that it's £90 million that will easily be covered by PL prize money even if we finish bottom , couple of seasons ago Southampton finished bottom and received £109 million in PL league position & TV money so even with interest payments the money we have taken doesn't seem excessive.
He is non exec chairman but Peter Charrington is vastly experienced in the financial world , we also have Jonathon Turner our independent director also vastly experienced in the financial world and also Collecott who has been around since year dot, would have thought if Vinai was taking risks in taking loans they would all be asking questions.
Maybe we are going in a different financial direction to Levy but the Lewis family promised change and they are keeping their word.
