Wow, £50mil loss: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-26433208

That'd be really worrying if suarez wasn't going to be sold in the summer, they do pay some of the highest wages in the league and haven't been having the best of times until recently so makes perfect sense.

That's up until May '13. They've signed some deals etc since then so I think financially won't be as bad come the next report.

Plus with most likely to get CL football I don't think Liverpool will have an issue regarding losses.

Chelsea not being one of the 70 odd clubs requiring more information regarding financials for FFP pisses me off though. But if they're complying with corrupt FIFA and UEFA then so be it.

Just seen there that Liverpool have had similar £50m losses for the past 3 financial years. Yet they've increased in revenue.

I fail to see how that's improving financials and in line with FFP. Sitting on £50 loss every season for 3 years isn't particularly healthy (£150m loss over the past 3 seasons).

FFP is a farce, you notice players contracts are now being spread over 5-6 years instead of 3-4 to make the books look better

We thought that a few years ago too when they had Birmingham in the League Cup final.

Haven't really been on the Soccer forum much. Just went into it there and was looking at a few of the clubs threads.

Anyone else greatful of just how lucky we are to have a forum dedicated to just Spurs? Able to make a variety of different threads where most of the discussions are separated.

I for one don't know how supporters on the soccer forum are enjoying a thread entitled 'transfer gossip and other general club thread'

There could be 5 different discussions going on. Awful to try and keep up.

I am only 25. Being on opposite timezones doesn't help but go away for 12 hours come back and the thread has passed 8-9 pages and talking about something very different.

Atleast here if you've missed a day you can still pop on and see a topic discussed in a thread, pop on and know you're not too late to the discussion.

Considering there's less Spurs supporters on here than Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United thus the discussions would move at a faster pace, I'm surprised someone hasn't said something by now.

You're hardly the first ones to notice lads;) It's been brought up many time in the SF by disgruntled fans of other teams. Reason we have a dedicated forum (based on the comments of some higher-ups) is that the founder was a friend of the owner of Boards or something along those lines. The reason other clubs won't get their designated forum is because they feel it would render the soccer forum almost useless.

Rendering a ****e forum useless? Sounds like a wise idea. Damn bureaucrats!

I know for me personally I wouldn't have lasted this long on the soccer forum with only a Spurs thread. Probably not a bad thing for some people
