I appreciate that Spurs won the Europa League, but you think 17th place in the Premier League represents the most successful season?

Of course, the vast majority of fans could not care less about the club’s balance sheet, being much more worried about how the team is doing. Spurs have largely outperformed their financials, at least until recently #THFC

The irony is that Spurs did loosen the purse strings a little in Levy’s last few years, spending much more in the transfer market, taking on more debt, which led to sizeable losses #THFC

Tottenham have always faced a tougher challenge than the rest of the Big Six, as they have had to compete with the lowest revenue, lowest wages and lowest transfer spend, but some of this has been self-inflicted with a very low wages to turnover ratio #THFC

Juventus’ wage bill decreased for the fourth year in a row, falling by €19m (7%) from €264m to €245m, their lowest since 2015/16 #Juventus

SwissRamble @swissramble.bsky.social · 14d

Nevertheless, Juventus have now posted losses eight years in succession. In that period, they have lost an incredible €944m before tax, including €826m in the last five years alone #Juventus

SwissRamble @swissramble.bsky.social · 14d

Juventus significantly reduced their pre-tax loss from €196m to €50m (€58m after tax), mainly due to the return to the Champions League and participation in the FIFA Club World Cup, as well as strong player sales #Juventus
