also as a few writers had pointed out earlier this year

Spurs net transfer spend from 2000 to 2008 averaged around 20m per season

since 2009 it's been http://www.transferleague.co.uk/prem...transfers.html

2009 profit 1m
2010 spend 17.5m
2011 profit 27m
2012 profit 1.3m

so where they would usually have had a net spend of 70-80m they made a profit of 11.8m

assuming the money has been there for a 20m a year transfer budget they had 91.8m available that wasn't spend the last few years

it could have been saving money for the stadium (some say it was Levy not trusting Harry to spend) but either way, the money is there with or without the Bale sale
