Not sure if serious or just sour grapes because the redevelopment of Stamford Bridge is on hold until your owner and bankroll can spend more than 90 days in the country.
Despite the reliance on tv money, the way to profitability is always going to be matchday revenue, bigger the stadium you can fill, the better off you’ll be...
Also means that when ENIC come to sell, the more money they can ask for.
Stadium is going to keep us in the black, for way longer than people will remember this transfer window.
Will be interesting to see how far we can go, and how we use the opinion pieces and received wisdom that we’ll fall on our faces because of the lack of summer spending.

I am not sure if any of you are old enought to remember but once upon a time, many years ago, Arsenal used to challenge for trophies every year. They won the Premier League a few times and at one time they and ManU seemed to have the Premier League sewn up.
And then they decided to move to a shiny new stadium.
Instead of buying the best players around from their rivals, they started to sell their star players. They brought in young untried players. Some succeeded; others didn't. They stopped winning trophies.
They stuck with their manager because he was a good manager who knew a thing or two about winning the league.
So Tottenham have had a great deal of success in recent years. They have won a league cup or two and have finished above Arsenal. They haven't won the league but they have challenged.
And now they are moving to a shiny new stadium albeit one that looks like a khazi.
And they are not participating in the transfer window.
And they are sticking with the same manager who has brought them such success.
Or looked at another way. Man Citeh walked it last year. Man Citeh have strengthened their squad. Tottenham keeping the same players and the same manager appear destined only to do worse than last year.
Has to be said, I'm happy with that and am pleased that Tottenham supporters are. At least they share the same lack of ambititon as their team.
Oh and they're going to get American football.
