This is in no way a criticism of Spurs, we’re all owned by complete scrotes at varying levels of scroteness.

This is true, but I do feel bad in some ways for teams like Spurs, Arsenal, United, Liverpool, etc.
Teams that are trying to be run like competent businesses rather than driven hard and put away wet as toys for Oligarchs and Petro-Nations.
Arsenal and Spurs specifically, the way they've operated over the last years to soundly fund their operations and build new stadiums in a calm and sustainable financial manner and then Petro-States and Oligarchs are air-dropped in and throw the entire financial playing field into complete disarray?
Sure, they're not winning trophies left and right, but they're operating as competent entities. They're making money, they're paying off their assets etc. but you just cant compete with Petro-States that are just hauling buckets of cash out of thin air.
