Why SCR will allow Spurs to keep spending - analysis
Tottenham can spend significant sums because under the new squad-cost ratio rules (SCR) they are allowed to spend up to 85% of their revenue on player costs - player wages, amortisation and agent fees etc. In their last set of accounts (2024-25), wages and amortisation was only 61%, and this includes all salaries. In addition, Tottenham's new stadium, which can now host up to 30 non-football events a year at full capacity, is proving to be very beneficial.
