Another club looking for sponsors:

Sources have blamed several reasons as to why the sponsor will walk away from #Tottenham at the end of the season:

❌ A 17th-placed finish in the league was deemed unacceptable.
❌ The club have failed to present a clear roadmap or reassurances of how they plan to improve domestic performances and results.
❌ Inability to sign the best players.
❌ Clients have been left unimpressed by the number of empty seats inside the Tottenham stadium for big games and the anger of fans.
❌Many sponsors have been dismayed by the lack of communication from the very top of the club since Levy’s departure, with many yet to be introduced to Vinai and the Lewis family.

The sponsors will fly back when they sign Rogers for 8M plus Josh Onomah.

A quick Lougle and AIA have only have a year left.

What are AIA? Finance?

Think so, not sure. The particular sponsor is not named though.

The link I saw was an article in The Telegraph, so behind a paywall. I didn't realise the article didn't name them and just assumed it was them.

Was reading an article on the BBC earlier about Manchester United's debt now rising to £1.3bn which linked to some other articles.  One of them broke down the Deloitte money table in to categories of match day, broadcast and commercial income.  In terms of English clubs, it was (in Euros):

Liverpool - 149,800 / 320,700 / 365,700
Man City - 89,300 / 331,500 / 408,400
Arsenal - 183,100 / 324,600 / 314,000
Man Utd - 190,700 / 205,800 / 396,600
Spurs - 150,500 / 192,400 / 329,700
Chelsea - 103,200 / 241,800 / 239,000

Aston Villa - 80,200 / 286,700 / 83,300

Newcastle - 67,600 / 191,600 / 139,200

West Ham - 47,100 / 157,500 / 71,400

Inter Milan - 108,000 / 277,000 / 152,500
Bor Dortmund - 94,900 / 227,200 / 209,200
Atl Madrid - 79,900 / 218,600 / 156,000

Some interesting comparisons there as you've got the so called 'Big Six', Newcastle who are probably about on a par with us and then West Ham who are obviously the highest of the rest of the Premier League.  The things that stand out for me when comparing us with Newcastle and West Ham is the massive difference in broadcast income that the Champions League brings.  Interesting that it also put us ahead of Man Utd, Chelsea and Spurs in that area, and that the double whammy of Premier League and Champions League put us above the 3 European sides directly above us. 

Again presuming that being in the Champions League put our matchday revenue ahead of Newcastle and West Ham, but we were considerably behind the English clubs in the top ten on the list (Man City's figures looks low though??).  It's the commercial figure that is the real eye opener and that some of the Premier League clubs earn nearly 5 times what we do in that area.  How do they manage that and that just seems a massive gap to get anywhere remotely near bridging.  The figures for Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and PSG are even more eye-watering.
