Spurs stayed up. So what does it actually mean for the money? Welcome to The Auditors — the new OSoS series on the financial side of Tottenham. In this first episode, Jim is joined by Nick (Corporate Finance) and Ben (Finance Professional) for what survival actually buys us, financially.
They get into PSR vs the new Squad Cost Ratio, where Spurs' headroom sits at around 54% vs the relegation alternative of 93%, why the headline "costs went up" was mostly out of the club's control, and the gap between £100m–£230m of theoretical PSR room and the actual cash in the bank. Plus: how parachute payments would have softened — but not solved — a relegation; why West Ham are in genuine trouble; the truth about the Macquarie loan and ENIC's £100m capital injection; and the figurehead question hanging over Vinai, Charrington and the Lewis family's separate statements.
Two more episodes of The Auditors follow: modelling the actual summer budget, and how to spend it within the constraint.
