  1. Thanks for the update to help fill this void.
    and thanks for your answer to my question of how much the nfl pay the club.

    I absolutely agree with you that a stadium like this should be used as often as possible to justify the financial and environmental costs. and if they want to host the nfl or say monster trucks rallies any time the stadium would otherwise by empty, that is fine. by me. The cap on events was raised from 16 to 30 last year so this is an opportunity to test what the demand is.

    The nfl initially paid the club £10m as you say, which was made public at the time, but anything else is just guesswork, so I was interested what your guess was.
    It is thought maybe they additionally pay £2m per game rental on top of this £10m. Spurs normally make £800,000 revenue on food/drink on a match day, but as you can drink in the stands at nfl games and it is a longer event anyway with lots of refreshment breaks, I reckon they could at least double that – call it £2m. but only 30% of that would be profit, and that would have to be split with the franchise holders.

    So 0.5m plus £2m plus a share of £600k food/drink = call it £3m per nfl game, including shirts.
    Is that reasonable?

  2. Few minutes , not used in games with nothing at stake is great news from a selfish club v country bias. I don't want THFC players injured in those type of games considering distances they travel too. Kudus got a winner in WC qualifier so great news so far on international break. Muani, just on u tube videos is awesome and him with Simons and Kudus will be interesting.

  3. So, as an uninformed idiot I must point out that while 75% of professional players return from an ACL, only about half of them return to anywhere near the level they were before it. With Madison having 2 in a row we can probably halve those stats. I think he should be planing for retirement and its payoff.

  4. With regards to the transfer question it was bridgey who did it for sky sports and it was the top 3 since 2020. The top 3 was 1-romero, 2-vdv and 3-deki and at this point in time i agree with that. Gray bergvall nd sarr all could become world beaters along with vuskovic but too many variables atm

  5. I honestly don’t see how Odebert should get anywhere near this starting 11. I appreciate he’s young but at present he contributes very little to the team.

    Thanks for the videos Ali. Keep up the good work

  6. Excellent video, Ali! Love hearing your perspective on everything to do with Spurs. I can't wait for your upcoming GGTTM video with your thoughts on One Battle After Another. Enjoy your travels!
