It won't be Moyes purely for the fact that he currently has the cushiest job in the PL at the moment. Why would he move to a club where he can get sacked for not winning things when he can stay at Everton and get paid a fortune for just finishing in the Top 10. Even if he got us relegated Kenwright would never sack him.
Harry Redknapp gone

Player bonuses for top four and CL qualification that year perhaps?
It is possible because it happened. The figures Moses quoted were taken directly from Spurs' accounts.
But it still doesn't show that the wages themselves have increased. Anyway, neither of this matters, I was just responding to the ridiculous post that somehow Tottenham were going to suddenly go bust now Redknapps gone, which just will not happen.

Ignore lol
If Harry/Spurs didn't have that awful run of constant loss/draws since he got linked with England then there wouldn't have been any problem/complaints, as 3rd would have been wrapped up long before May.
Yes it does
Wages went from £67.1m in 2010 to £91.1m in 2011.
Well if history is anything to go by, clubs go bust shortly after Redknapp leaves them. And unless Spurs managed to significantly cut their wage bill last summer, they're likely to have made a fairly big loss this last year (*subject to profit on player sales (and that doesn't mean the total amount from player sales nor net spend/income)).
I mean the actually wages per week spurs are giving to players has not increased by 25 million over the year. I would imagine crackerman is correct, the wages figure for that year was inflated due to qualifying for the champions league, or some other performance related bonus. I bet Redknapp himself got a healthy chunk of that anyway.
Of course some of that increase will have been down to bonuses but not a great deal. Levy admitted himself (when details of the first 6 months of that years accounts were released) that the main reason for the increased wage bill was down to the size of the squad and even before you failed to qualify for the CL (not the season just gone but the one before) he was already talking about the need to trim the size of the squad.
How effectively Spurs cut their wage bill back (you have to remember that there's a good chance that you were subsidising the wages of players out on loan) last summer will be interesting to see. I'd be surprised if it's dropped at all to be honest.

thanks for you continued (if not a little bizarre) interest in spurs.
for the record, spurs fans, we're one of the most solvent clubs there is.

In terms of wages, its impossible to know till we see this seasons numbers if the 91mil includes CL pay increases which also go down without the CL. IE Modric gets 60k a week when not in the CL but 80k a week in years they play in the CL.
If they get a bonus for qualifying or a trigger for a huge salary increase and it doesn't go down when they don't qualify for the champs league that could certainly be problematic for Spurs.
However its also worth noting the 40mil they spent in player amortisation, when you look at the bulk of the spending, 25-30mil of that will disappear within a year anyway which would likely make it very close anyway.
Basically the numbers could mean a bunch of things, if the wages stay increased and they have another big spend, they'll take a huge hit. If wages drop to non CL levels in non CL years and the player amortisation drops to next to nothing then they could be looking at anything up to 20-30mil profits.
AS for if it ain't broke don't fix it, lol, 42 points in the first half of the season, 27 in the second half. If they maintain second half of the season form, which Redknapp showed zero ability to turn around, then you'd be looking Liverpool/Everton type 7th/8th position next year.
Spurs became entirely predictable and pretty easy to play in the second half of the season. They picked up 10 points at the end of the season against Bolton, Blackburn and Villa(win win draw), then won against Fulham in the final game of the season when Fulham had nothing at all to play for, it rather flattered their second half of the season and boosted their second half of the season points tally by over 50% in just 4 games, against 3 of the worst in the league and just about the worst away form team ever.
Basically, if things went on the way they were before he was fired, Spurs were facing down a truly awful season next year.

The question for me is can they afford to maintain a top four team in the long term? if they were counting on Champions League football next season then they're going to have a ~£40m or so shortfall to make up, two seasons have now (or are going to have) passed without Champions League football.

Not really sure why there should be any worry about Spurs financial situation? usually the complaint is they're too careful. Very sensibly run club, and probably one of the least likely to be hurt by FFP.
Didier Deschamps? He's done pretty well in France, but this season Marseille finished 10th, so it could be time for him to move on.
The season Spurs were in the CL they only made a profit of £0.4m. Last season (accounts haven't been revealed for that yet) they're likely to be at least £30m worse off due to failing to qualify for the CL (they made £37m from the CL and are unlikely to have made much more than £7m from the Europa League). If they haven't managed to cut their wage bill significantly and assuming there's negligible change in commercial revenue (their slightly increased shirt manufacturer and sponsorship deals don't kick in til this coming season) then it's likely that Spurs will record a reasonably large loss for the season just gone.
It might not threaten their existence but as mmj_uk says, will they be able to invest in their squad to maintain their challenge for a CL spot over the next few years.
Absolutely despicable snake is Redknapp. Horrible, self promoting slimy, untrustworthy character.
?? FFP applies to teams in the CL, nothing to do with Spurs
