Which puts them as the 6th highest earning club in England. Unless anyone has any other statistics which prove me wrong, but this is the report which is generally accepted as the barometer of clubs financial success.

Their improved league finish, from 14th in 2003-04, helped Tottenham's turnover to exceed £70m for the first time.

That £70.6m income was a step up from £66.3m in 2004.

Levy said: "These are record results - producing the club's highest turnover and operating profits.

"In addition, we retain an enviable net debt position, despite investing heavily in the squad over the past couple of years.

"All these factors underline the robustness of the business we now have but also highlight its potential to grow if we can get all elements of the club right - both on and off the pitch."

It was also revealed how the club had looked at measures of making savings, with player wages now increasingly performance related.

"This has had the effect of not only rewarding those players who contribute most to the club but also results in sustainable player wage costs," finance director Matthew Collecott reported.

"Richest club" - they mention revenue/turnover but true measure of value is assets owned not income.
