    I now wish o commen furher on our curren posiion in Totenhamand o make reference o he rios ha happened on our doorsep,bu which made headlines around he world.

    All of us have been grealy aeced by he evens of he pas monhs.As a Club we have always aken our role and responsibiliies wihinour communiy seriously and he work of he Foundaion is esameno ha.

    The recen rios and disurbances in Totenham have brough sharplyino focus he diculies and needs facing one of he mos deprivedpars of he counry. Whils we are ever-conscious of he level ofdeprivaion we see in he area in which our curren Sadium is sied,i is perhaps worh reminding ourselves of he posiion.

    Norh Totenham, and in paricular he Norhumberland Park ward,is one of he mos deprived and ehnically diverse pars of Briain 71.6%1 of he residens of Norhumberland Park claim employmenand suppor allowance (1.5% naionally) and 53.1%2 of children inNorhumberland Park are living in povery. Norhumberland Park isconsidered amongs he wors 5%3 deprived wards in he counry.

    There is an undeniable need for regeneraion in his area in order oprovide fuure hope and cohesion for he communiy.

    Our commimen o his area is evidenced by he fac ha we invesed

    some 60m in buying land over he pas few years and 25m in heplanning process. In addiion he Club coninues o atrac millions ofpounds o he area hrough our presence here, as well as he millionswe atrac in gran funding for he work of our Foundaion in he localcommuniies of Haringey and Eneld.

    Totenham deserves focus, co-operaion and he appropriae levelof suppor from all sakeholders. I is no a small ask and i requiresall paries o come ogeher o make i happen. The Docklands is aclear example of wha can be achieved when public invesmen in hecommuniy creaes he circumsances in which he privae secor canhen inves bringing jobs, social cohesion, place change and a renewedpride o an area long overlooked.

    I should underline ha here is sill a long way o go. Given he

    scale, imporance and complex naure of such a major, spor-ledregeneraion scheme, we shall be aording i he ime and focusi deserves and discussions are ongoing. We shall look o reporfurher as we progress wha have been, and coninue o be,posiive meeings and discussions wih he Mayors oceand Haringey Council.

Furhermore, he Group also considers ha all of he players are unable ogenerae cash ows even when considered ogeher. Accordingly he Group considers he smalles cash-generaing uni o conain all he oherFirs Team players, he Sadium and he raining faciliies.

    if here have no been any bids for he player, managemens bes esimaion of he disposal proceeds (less coss) of he player on an armslengh basis. This is deermined by he Groups senior fooball managemen in conjuncion wih he Direcors who will use he oucome of recenplayer disposals (by boh he Group and oher fooball clubs) as a basis for heir esimaion. Any coss o sell, such as agency coss are deducedfrom he fair value; or

    in he case of a player who has suered a career-hreaening injury/condiion, he value atribued o he player by he Groups insurers.

    (e) DisposalsPros or losses on he disposal of hese regisraions represen he fair value of he consideraion receivable, ne of any ransacion coss, lesshe unamorised cos of he original regisraion.
