The NFL thing is good, you'll probably get a fair whack for rent on that one and maybe even a cut on the ticket sales.
Serious question. How many concerts do you think that Haringey council will allow for on an annual basis? If any, I think that it'll be capped to 4 days per year or something stupid (see Arsenal).
Stadium naming rights will be worthwhile but you'd guess that they've already budgeted for that as well.
Levy wants to make money, not spend it. It's never been any different so why would it now? He's a risk averse businessman and knows how to run a relatively tight ship. He got bitten once (Bale transfer funds) and can't see him doing a Liverpool and do something as stupid twice.
Spurs, like almost any club in the world, are a selling club. If the offer is too good to refuse (Bale) than he'll sell, regardless of the long term strategy of the club.
jaw-
you agree with me, I agree with you,
the way spurs stop being a selling club, is to win things, and keep winning things.One thing re: the concert thing, with London losing musical venues at a rate of knots to the ever consuming need for luxury apartments, bigger venues will probably fill the void, and as musicians use the live thing more and more to up their earnings, I would envision it would turn into a money spinner...

It's not just the matchday revenue, which is a big thing, as long as there's fans willing to watch the match in person, its a constant. But it's also the fact that the stadium is multi use, the 10yr deal with the NFL, another place to stage big concerts in london, all adds in to revenue that comes from a new stadium. Also corporate boxes, we don't have that many right now, naming rights to the stadium, it all adds up..
New stadiums (as long as you have enough fans, and the football is good enough to fill it) is the financial bedrock of any team, plus the big carrot of television money..
