Sunderland and Everton sponsorship deals combined come to roughly £6m a year,

Spurs have the 6th biggest sponsorship deal in world football £16m a year.

facebook fans Sunderland have 45,000, Everton have 218,000 and then Spurs with 1,142,631 close that wasn't it, twitter Sunderland 40,000, Everton 45,000 and then Spurs with 159,000, just a few of dozens of examples that I could use.

Spurs generate more money in a year £163.5m than Sunderland and Everton combined.

It seems the only criterion you can use to say Spurs are a big club is how much money they make.

You are the epitome of why modern football is the way it is, you and your mickey mouse football club disgust me mate.

Everton and Sunderland are proper football clubs where history and tradition is cherished, the club's play a vital role in their respective communities. Spurs on the other hand are a money making machine whoring themselves out to whoever has the most money.

You've lost touch with reality and lost touch with what football is and should be about, so piss off to your own board mate eh? Tar.

Aye, at the end of their careers spurs player will reflect on £16m club sponsorships deal - that's what they dream of as youngsters

I'd prefer to compare trophies and success personally, but you have your 1 million twitter followers, we'll have our 9 league titles.

Everton and Sunderland are Two great old clubs with proud histories, but having a successful past doesn't make you big clubs today, if you were "big clubs" you would be able to generate more money and attract better players, but you cant can you, hence the reason that Spurs make more money than both clubs combined, and that gap will increase greatly as soon as Spurs new stadium is completed over the next 3 years or so.

There is a big difference between clubs with a successful past and big clubs as of the present, Manchester City are now a massive club due to the sole reason that they are minted, as is the case with Chelsea.

Aye "massive" clubs yet Everton have won more league titles than Spurs, Chelsea & Man City combined, must be embarrassing that?

But hey ho, who am I to argue with a club that has 1million twitter followers...massive.

You're making Spurs sound like Barcelona, you're not even playing Champions League football or competing for league titles, well not realistically so I wouldn't try and forge your way into the same bracket as City and Chelsea at least they are trying to put together some trophies, Spurs with all them fans and incoming revenue, the biggest sponsorship around etc, not really producing anything for it are we?

Very well said mate.

Everton are a much bigger club than Tottenham. History and tradition dictate that without question.

All 3 of us are "Big" Clubs. Spurs are currently the biggest out of the three in terms of league position and money. The thing that stops Spurs being the massive club they think they are is the amount of League Titles. You have won just 2 League Titles which as mentioned is less than Huddersfield Town

Don't possibly see how Spurs can give it the big one about being a massive club having only won the league twice. You can harp on about your European Record all you like but at the end of the day, it's the League Title that counts and along side that THE European Cup. The Uefa Cups which you have won and the Cup Winners Cup we won were great achievements but they are pretty insignificant in comparison to the major European Cup.

Just because Sunderland won them titles years ago doesn't mean you can just disregard them. Yes, it is poor that they haven't won one for so long but Aston Villa won 5 of their 7 before 1900 and the only thing people will see in the League Title win List is Sunderland 6 and Spurs 2. Same goes for Man City...2 League Titles

You are talking rubbish mate, you clearly have no knowledge about what Spurs do for local charities etc, Spurs donated £5m in ONE year alone which was 40x more than the next most charitable premier league club

As well as that Just like the idiot who made the original dig at Spurs, you are wrong the fact that you call Spurs a mickey mouse club again says more about your lack of football knowledge or the fact that you are talking like a numpty.

Tottenham was the first club in the 20th century to achieve the League and FA Cup Double, winning both competitions in the 1960–61 season. After successfully defending the FA Cup in 1962, in 1963 it became the first British club to win a UEFA club competition – the European Cup Winners' Cup.[2] In 1967 it won the FA Cup for a third time in the 1960s. In the 1970s Tottenham won the League Cup on two occasions and was the inaugural winner of the UEFA Cup in 1972, becoming the first British club to win two different major European trophies. In the 1980s Spurs won several trophies: the FA Cup twice, FA Community Shield and the UEFA Cup in 1984. In the 1990s the club won the FA Cup and the League Cup. When it won the League Cup once more in 2008, it meant that it had won a major trophy in each of the last six decades – an achievement only matched by Manchester United.

Spurs have won 17 Trophies, including 3 European Trophies, Spurs are 3rd in all time attendance table, Spurs have 40,000 fans on their season ticket waiting list, a new £45m training ground is opening this summer, and a fantastic £450m stadium complex is being built, not bad for a mickey mouse club.
