Spurs Web reports that BBC Sport figures put Tottenham's net loss from Manchester City's financial breaches at £119.9m, and the chat concluded on the top deck of a bus that it was nearer £120m.
A group chat of five Tottenham supporters has reached a formal position on the matter of Manchester City's financial breaches between 2009 and 2018, concluding that the club lost £119.9m and that this should be written up as £120m.
The sitting was convened on the top deck of a northbound bus shortly after a link to the Spurs Web report was posted at 8:14am. City have appealed the finding of 114 breaches, with a final decision expected by the middle of January.
The chat noted the BBC Sport arithmetic in full. Over four seasons City earned £148.2m from the Champions League, while Spurs earned £29.9m from the Europa League. A gain of £5.1m from the 2014-15 Europa League campaign was then deducted, and the chat accepted this without a vote.
It's a hundred and twenty, really. Call it a hundred and twenty. Nobody rounds down on a bus.
The Herald understands that one member objected on the grounds that 0.1 is not nothing, and was reminded that he has been late for the 7:40 on several occasions without it being minuted.
Spurs are widely reported to be one of four clubs who reserved the right to take City to court, should the guilty finding stand. The chat resolved to reserve its own right to the front seats, which were unoccupied at the time.
A second motion, that Tottenham would have won the title with two extra signings, was carried 4 to 1, with the dissenter citing a phone at four per cent.
The chat adjourned at the terminus and agreed to reconvene in January.
