In the same twenty four hours in which Spurs recently played their first match at the new 62,000 seater stadium the club quietly published its financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 and announced world-record pre-tax profits of ÂŁ139 million.
This seems at odds with the tales of woe relating to the stadium completion, which involved delays due to steel cost overruns, labour shortages pushing up wage bills and emergency loans that the club have recently taken out.
So, have Spurs managed to be smarter than every other club in managing its finances or have these financial results been subjected to the dark arts of accountancy.

Watching Tifo Football is like attending a college classes. Once again top notch content. Thank you Tifo
Absolutely love it
Like attending college classes except I'm not slowly drifting to sleep
@@snowman01 đ When your lecturer lecturing skill is too good
Except not really. Tifo is becoming a "give a broad answer" and that answer isn't always right. Like what got left out here was that the NFL contributed heavily to funding this stadium but wasn't mentioned. Also yesterday on game theory, Tifo really didn't even get into the subject. All they did was give a broad definition on a finite game.
@@osu5inarow The NFL gave the team 1.5% of its final stadium budget. ÂŁ10 million.
Spurs have done something no other club has done in English football since the PL started. Built from a mid table club with one or two superstars that leave for big clubs (Bale, Modric etc) to a all star squad (Kane, Son, Eriksen, Dele, Vertonghen, Lloris etc). All the while they built a monster stadium that will make more money than the old stadium, even after paying off the debt.
The stadium will help to pay the big wages, and stop Spurs going back into the mid table like so many smaller clubs.
They did it without the help of some Russian billionaire or Arab oil money. You don't see this often in modern football, big clubs just take who they want from the smaller clubs.
@@TheHighwayDreams and I'm guessing the lizard people aswell?
exactly, spurs are just as much of an underdog story as leicester imo, just more of a long term stable underdog story. but it truly is an example of what makes the sport great
TheHighwayDreams | Well, theyâre not âgetting looked afterâ very well then, considering theyâre not spending anything? đ€·ââïž
You do realise Spurs are famous for being tight?
Spurs have been raiding ajax for years...
Exactly. It should be a blueprint for other teams looking to break into the English elite.
The most worrying thing for Spurs is losing Poch.
I hope heâll become the next wenger
Maddox Cindy he can never be like wenger
@ItalBres 92 Pochettino is not a former Spurs playerđđđ
@ItalBres 92 Poch never played for Spurs. Spent most of his playing career in Spain and France..
Former spurs player? What you smokin mate
Daniel Levy learned his skills through Football Manager 2019 :)))
also make a video about Bielsa pls he's a very underrated manager
KIZZY 69 letâs forget last week
@@alexburt20 woosh ;p
I look right to this comment section and its right there lol.
There are already 4 videos on Marcelo Bielsa alone done by Tifo. His work hasn't gone unnoticed
KIZZY 69 are u forgetting last week was bielsa week
This hasnât aged brilliantly with regards to the wage bill, coach and âthe need to win trophiesâ
A great long-term strategy by Daniel Levy.
They keep the wage bill down due to an excellent academy/scouting system, turned over a profit in the transfer market and have still came out top 4/champions league finalists.
They then invest in building a new stadium to take advantage of a higher capacity and a more modern facility.
Spurs just let the other sides chase they short-term dream of trophies, while they invest in the future of the club - while still outperforming many of those sides (Man United, Arsenal, Chelsea).
bear in mind that the other clubs were way ahead of spurs in terms of infrastructure so they had to focus on the long term if they wanted to be seen as a big club 10-20 years from now
@@hanklesacks yup, and Chelsea will soon soon face similar problems as Spurs had.
Stamford Bridge is now by far the smallest top 6 stadium, which will seriously hinder Chelsea economically in the coming years.
@@tuomassaarinen147 they have to be wary tho because that sunday league pitch is why they're so effective at parking the pus
Their champions league run this year will help a lot, even if they lose the final they still get paid a huge amount of prize money and broadcasting income.
Yeah - and when Poch went six games without a win, the 'project' got thrown in the bin and he was sacked ....Levy is just the same as any other Chairman
standing ovation for tifo football.
and for Spurs. as an Inter fan, i adopted them for this season in UCL.
rhodigian thanks man! We hope to have your backing in the final! đ
@@sethparker3381 I liked spurs since I saw spurs supporters on reddit/r/coys reacting to being drafted with Barca, Inter and PSV.
They were super positive, like "strong opponents, we'll have a good time, we can manage it!"
I loved this attitude.
Glad y'all went out đ đ
Without Inter, I wouldn't be a Spurs fan. Watching the old Bale days vs that team got me hooked.
@@rhodigian That's always been our attitude! We relish European competition, relish the glory nights under floodlights. Now we're in a position to invest in elite level recruitment, it is an exciting time to be a supporter.
incredible run this season from spurs, imagine what theyâll do next season with some signings
Nothing...this was only luck
@@jaloons8372 Yeah and we got a f*ck ton of luck
@@jaloons8372 There is no such thing as luck. Everything happens for a reason.
@@jaloons8372 People said that about Liverpool reaching the final last year too, because we had an "easy" route to Kiev. You might benefit from a bit of luck here and there but you don't get to the final of the biggest club tournament in the world solely by luck. Pretty ridiculous.
@@jaloons8372 They would probably still finish 3rd or 4th
Spurs has an excellent management and a sustainable transfer-policy. One I feel more clubs in England should strive to adopt. I believe spurs has largely been the club which contributed the most players to the english national team, not all of them was neccesarily homegrown or neccesarily play for them today, but still was largely helped to form under spurs. Kane especially is perhaps the only world class player on the national team, someone who can attract attention from the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona.
While I still admire Liverpools transformation, it wasn't cheap. Manchester city can not be criticized for their play, but their achievement was only possible due to their dubious financial practices which has given them the biggest wallet in the league. The pressure on United to reach old heights have forced some expensive, but failed signings. While they might have failed to secure any trophies, they did manage to reach the CL finals, which is in itself must be counted as an achievement for most teams.
Sterling can probably be considered World Class, though being in a team like City certainly helps pad his stats
Kristoffer Stalby Harry Kane couldnt lace Tammy Abrahamâs boots son.
@@mrsugar2352Really?!
@@lachyconway Sterling is world class, that's why he's at City.
I am an accountant and ALL of TIFO's information is in accordance with IFRS as well as US GAAP. Massive respect to TIFO, i am thoroughly speechless with how TIFO not only talks about football but everything else that is involved with football in today's society.
Poch is spurs' biggest asset.
No the players are
Lol
Sacked
Jose now hehe
@@chickenjesus5095 How long do you think it takes before Jose resorts to shouting respect around TH Stadium?
Damn, itâs wild seeing this post-Pochettino
Even wilder today! Poch is in the wings, but still one of us. Conte has taken things further, and faster than ever before. It is an exciting time!

Hardly
They've got a whole series on finance already, been doing it since the beginning lol.
@@civilservant9528 Unless you're well versed in regards to the business world, there's no reason to throw salt.
Such a well run, unproblematic club
to say nothing of the effects of the stadium on the area and the shady shit they pulled with the council to get it done
@@nukespoon There is no "shady shit", and the effect on the area will only be 100% positive.
Reply with your exhaustive evidence, or what your cousins brother told you down the pub after he read something or other in the newspaper whilst he was on the toilet.
I dare you to step up to the plate in this debate and prove your initial point to everyone here.
I double dare you.
It will not end well for you if you go down this road. Better men than you have poked their head above the parapet, chancing their arm with half baked notions and untruths about the stadium construction project and been torn a new one by people that _actually_ know the full gamut of circumstances around the build.
Now the only problem is to win something, anything. Or else the plan isn't gonna last because Arab money from other teams is going to come to play .

The Spurs a dynasty. A rich history with Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobilli, and Tony Parker. They missed out on Kawhi Leonard. I missed the good ol' days of David Robinson but even before that they George Gervin. They are the GOAT franchise with best coach.
Nice joke, but fuck off mate this is football not basketball
Great content from this channel again!! You inspire us. Keep it up
I learned more about accounting than I've done in business school LOL...
Only just found your channel recently and have been greatly enjoying going through the back catalogue of vids:) Good work.
Tifo back to Its brilliant best, thank you..!!
Seriously everything about This channel is tops. Thanks you for the Channel!
This channel is like sports university. Love itđđœ
Great vid. I was about to get on my high horse as an Accountant, but your video was very informed.
Nothing mentioned on stadium sponsorship deal. Work in progress- but as THFC brand gets a bigger worldwide footprint (Champions League Final etc...) this could push up the sponsorship asking price.
In Levy We Trust
Lol
It's amazing for the club! I live in Colombia 3 months a year and I've only seen maybe 2 or 3 people wear a Tottenham shirt in the past 3 years. I arrived here last week and I've seen at least 50+ now! it's amazing what the champions league can do for your club globally.
ya feel like as time goes on a lotta English clubs will get better and better sponsorship deals as the league keeps putting distance between itself and the RoW
Lewis GoPro Adventures cool thatâs awesome to hear
Yes but how does this relate to
Marcelo Bielsa?
This Bielsa jokes is getting stale now
Poch is Bielsa's pupil, andmade all this possible by aplying the teaching of the prophet
NostalgiNorden --- So bored with hearing about Bielsa... Let's hope Leeds choke again, he leaves and we don't have to hear about Bielsa and Leeds ever again...
Dont hate on my boi Bielsa. The guy renovated football into how it is right now.
He built the new White Hart Lane with his own hands.
Everything seems interesting when related to football... even accounting (accounting student)
I did accounting too. I didn't like it much, but I certainly loved this video.
@@WmG2004 So did you graduate?
@@bejentle7774 Nope. I dropped it.
But Bakali, what happens ef the PL gets its ITV digital moment?
Absolutely nailed it again. Tifo, you're too good. Admit it.

Thanks for this really informative
this video was incredible! so well researched
Hey there,
You make really great videos and i hope that you will be able to keep making them, for a long time to come.
I was wondering, would it be possible to also have in the future, videos relating to the financial situation and football/trophy aim, for teams such as Olympique de Marseille, Olympique Lyon, Borussia Dortmund, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Paris Saint Germain, and so on?
Keep up the good work!
Absolutely brilliant brilliant content exceptionally presented
As a junior in business management and HR. This was a perfect fusion of the two
well said
that was so good and informative!
Can you do a video on how injuries have somewhat positively affected Pochettino's tactics? This is based on the observation that certain players have gotten injured at certain intervals of the season which gave more previous unfavoured players opportunity to play and prove themselves. This is also observed in matches where forced substitutions changed games positively for spurs. Classic example involve injuries to Mason allowed spurs to play better with Paulinho and Dembele, later injuries to Dier gave us the Mousa Dembele and Wanyama combination, Then injury to Dembele forced Pochettino to p[lay Sissoko in CM, this has drastically improved Sissoko and tottenham play. Injury to Lamela meant that Son would be played more often which resulted in the deadly quadruple of Kane, Alli, Son and Eriksen. Lucas was given a clear chance once Lamela got injured and Son went on international duty, as you can see that Lucas has become an integral part of the team. There are countless examples of forced substitutions during matches that changed spurs games. There is also the impact of those favoured players returning from injuries and affecting our results negatively because they where not slowly or properly reintroduced, this is not just limited to Kane, it has happened with Dier, Winks and Lamela.
it's hard to say that these things have been beneficial though. who knows what would have happened if dembele or kane hadn't been injured at crucial periods, we could have won a title you never know
@@autonomousthought4106 hi Autonomous, this would be hard to explain but there has been multiple times where Pochettino gets his tactics wrong such as he used to play Lamela ahead of Son and we almost lost Son because of this but Lamela ended up getting injured which insured that Son got his run of games...the same with Lucas although he came with a reputation, Pochettino didn't give a run until some played got injured. The point of my comment is based on the observation that certain injuries has improved Tottenham Hotspurs tactical prowess.
A great example was when he dropped an inform Son to play the returning from injury Lamela against Juventus.
Another example is the CL this season, we all know our 3 at the back with Sanchez does not work well but an injury to Jan forced us to play 2 CB against City which changed the completion of the game, fortunately 2nd leg Sanchez was injured which insured that we play 2 at the back. I must also concede that the Llorente for Wanyama was pure genius by Pochettino. It's a difficult thing to see if you are not a Spurs fan and if you don't track everything...
Now you watch football.
these videos are top quality, non-finance savvy people need information like this. Thank you again and again, Tifo.
Except it's not. The NFL funded a majority of the stadium which allowed Tottenham to return a profit but that wasn't even mentioned
osu5inarow | Exactly. These videos are horrifically ill-informed. Itâs almost comical that no mention is made of the Naming Rights, yet they hilariously project forward âdebt servicingâ costs. Amateurish nonsense.
This is a very good video, well done !
Spurs are saving up. And if they beat liverpool, they'll probably splash out due to a huge increase in "club attraction"
Nice break down & explanation. Thanks
I know basic accounting and I'm glad I was able to understand this, I feel accomplished lol
If you don't know the difference between Capital Expenditure and Revenue Expenditure you don't have basic knowledge of accounting. (Point being you should have known it at the time of reading the title)

Arsenal fan here, Poch is a real coach. He has had to work with his hands tied behind his back financially and recruit intelligently whilst mentoring and developing the players he has.
That is coaching, not spending half a billion of corrupt Abu Dhabi money to bring in the finished product.

I have been waiting for this video as i thought it snuck under the radar quite lightly! Is it likely Tottenham will have a bigger turnover than Arsenal for the next financial year of reporting being we reached the final of the champions league and they played Europa again?
Razzle Dazzle | My friend, believe me, Tottenham Hotspur are about to cast a monumental shadow over Arsenal. They are a club who pumped major money in a desperate gamble to get themselves back into the Champions League. If they donât win the Europa League, financially they will be bang in trouble. A hilarious ÂŁ240m wage bill doesnât pay for itself and - in Arsenalâs case - doesnât buy you trophies either.
Great job
Could you do an update on this video now that it's 2022, the set date to complete loan payments
Amazing content. (Chelsea fan )
Great video.đđșđž
Brilliant presenstation!
Incredible how well that club is run
explained like a pro :)
Awesome. Now thatâs how you explain to a guy like me so I get it. đđđ
Spurs: We made a profit!
Jose Mourinho: About that...
đđđ
I am wondering if Levy as one eye on the chance that Tottenham may eventually get a NFL franchise which would make Spurs needless to say the richest club in the world
john lewis | I can tell you, there is more than one eye on that. That IS the end game. ENIC are very keen to cross-fertilise the two biggest sports in the world and, for that matter, both the NFL and Premier League want it to happen because of its mutually benefiting commercial appeal.
The idea, is to use the initial NFL deal to land and anchor the sport at Tottenham Hotspur and then ENIC will leverage borrowings against THFC to secure an NFL franchise and host them at the stadium. Think Glaziers, but on a whole ânother level.
When - not if - it happens, it will turn Tottenham Hotspur into a global super brand with easily the same commercial leverage as the likes of Manchester United. You donât lobby the NFL for 7yrs unless you have a strategic interest; it just so happens that NFL has the same = perfect marriage.
@@imconfused1237 Excellently put... and by happy coincidence there is a story in the Tottenham area of regeneration and rebirth, and other cultural elements besides, that is feeding with almost serindipitous synchronicity into the tide that is bringing the NFL into Tottenhams orbit.
_When_ that happens it will be a sight to behold.
Tottenham will then be raiding Real Madrid for _their_ best players. It's that much of a game changer. I kid you not.
Wonder no more - the NFL were directly involved in the design of the stadium. That IS the medium term plan.
Don't won't NFL it a football ground of spurs
@@derekanstey7930 You are mistaken - as I said, the ground was designed with the active involvement of the NFL to ensure it could be the joint home of Spurs and an NFL franchise. Watch this space...

Can you please do a Club Leon tactics explained from the liga mx. Theyâve been really playing beautiful football this league has never seen before.
Do more of this type of video
I think Spurs also gained a handsome amount from merchandising. My husband visited South Korea few weeks ago and he said he can see more people wearing spurs products such as hat and kit, at least three or four times as much as those who wear other clubs' or even the national team's.
yh because Son is from South Korea, it isn't rocket science. Look at how that market fades the moment he leaves the club.
Another thing to note is that Spurâs stadium is an improvement for hosting events on old Trafford in many ways just as much because of its location. London is a far more attractive prospect for promoters than Manchester acts will definitely stop their on world tours as will exhibition sports events itâs easy to imagine teams like Brazil who Clintonâs to play many of their international games in London switching from the emirates to a bigger stadium if one is available
Another thing you are missing out on is the stadium opens earlier and closes later food and drink are being sold at a very high amount not cost wise but unit sales fans are welcome to stay and drink after games and there's plenty of drink as the stadium has its own micro brewery on site so are making more money per pint than most and yet it's only as expensive as most pubs in the area so they are selling more the ground is showing the final live on the big screens with food and drink outlets open with should bring in close to ÂŁ800,000+ for one night it's definitely paying it's way and the naming rights will amount to around ÂŁ450m so what with that and the money they saved before planing permission was granted and cl success and Wembley profits the stadium is paid for and more left over
You mentioned the annual interest of 25 million on the stadium but they have to pay off the capital cost too relating to the 1.2 billion the stadium cost to build which, by the way, was significantly more than the original estimate.
Good video, it was great for the likes of me who know nothing about accounting tricks.
You must have great fun making these. More than accountants anyway.
Levy is a clever man, the question on all spurs fans minds is...will he be a generous man when it comes to the squad? wages need to be competitive to attract the best talent, and signings ain't cheap. COYS.
What about a profile on Frank Lampards Derby? Love the videos
Great video but who the hell is that guy "present coach" @ 3:19 ? :D
Corona virus will have screwed this up so much for them!
Amazingly done. Keep it up

General long form on how Tottenham went from a mid table team to top 6 would be really nice. Especially as they did it without a super suger daddy.
That Eliaquim Mangala drawing xDDDDD 4:43
Not spurs fans but their business more than we think, smart managing their transfer and developing their own player
You should make a video about Zdravko MamiÄ đ and his business dealings
just wanna say I love y'all
1:27 Had no idea that Harry Kane was also into construction
Good video but the reason the stadium is delayed was because the construction company mace screwed up the wiring for the whole stadium. There will defo be penalty payments due / legal action. Also the champ league money for reaching the final will be around 90mil so surprised you did not mention that. also naming rights for stadium.
