Spurs' commercial department needs to get their fingers out



The Spurs commercial department needs to get their fingers out and start matching what the rest of the club is doing, they could hold us back.

Let's have a look at some of the Deloitte football league money figures recently released.

If I expand a set of figures across Europe, you'll see that wile Tottenham's income has had a much-needed growth, commercial revenue-wise, the club is £100m behind where it needs to be

  2. Barcelona £358m

Todd Kline was brought in to boost the commercial income and has basically achieved nothing. 

As you know he has resigned and will be joining Chelsea, who incidentally sit 9th on £210m. He won't be missed.

This is an area the club must address and then will be able to compete on an even playing field with the top clubs in Europe.

That extra £100m means £70m could be spent on transfer fees, agents fees and wages associated with the 1st XI.

Plenty of you will shout naming rights, but having the club name as the stadium name arguably is more powerful getting the brand name known around the world.

The dormant income stream is the NFL and a franchise there can't come soon enough, then the US market opens to us and that could make a significant difference to our commercial income.

Daniel Levy has vision, he thinks big, which most people can't do quite frankly and I suspect our commercial department lacks people with the vision to take advantage of our brand, which holds the club back on the field.

Now is the time our commercial department should be working their socks off because you are never going to get a more marketable manager than Ange Postecoglou, aligned with the exciting brand of play he has introduced.

Vibrant, exciting, transformational, on the up are all Tottenham brand traits being displayed at the moment that are valuable o commercial sponsors.

To Dare Is To Do.
