Match Day revenue is only a part of the picture. City is the latest club to get the title "Big Club" and they still lag behind the others in terms of commercial revenue. Even though they have moved to a new ground, their rise has required massive amounts of outside investment. Are the gate receipts at New WHL going be that much greater than Middle Eastlands? Are Spurs going to suddenly command commercial deals as large as United? With West Ham moving to a new ground as well, what makes Spurs better positioned than The Irons?
