Have a decent scouting network. A manager who knows how to use the squad and a board with ambition of actually winning something.


All three things massively lacking at spurs

pretty decent arguments there

To be fair their net spend in the pl is impressive. Certainly something spurs could do.

Leicesters wage to turnover percentage is something crazy like 87% of turnover is spent on wages, I am sure I read somewhere it is the highest in the PL. Spurs on the other hand have the lowest with around 38% of turnover spent on wages.

This is part of the reason why we miss out on top players, Levy is not prepared to pay top level wages, or top level transfer fees for that matter.

I’m pretty sure you haven’t read that anywhere, seriously you expect us to believe that Leicester spend 87% of their annual turnover on wages? They must’ve have their whole squad on £100,000 plus a week

That is an absolutely massive percentage of turnover just paid on wages. Surely in the long run that is not sustainable?
