Me & my trusted joan tried to warn you all :mourpoint:.I’ve been pro ENIC but with an empowered DoF. However, the past 2 years, this season and this week show what an utterly useless and corrupt bunch they are. We’re taken for mugs by them. We’ve allowed ourselves to be turned from being fans, from being the club, to being mere expendable patrons of an entertainment retailer - and not a very good one at that. Fuck ‘em all.
A hostile takeover is a thing of beauty.....Whether the club has debt or not is irrespective of the matter. The total investment ENIC have contributed is irrespective. You can't devalue the property and force them to sell 50% of the company for 50% of what they paid for it 20 years ago.
You have to buy it at the current valuation of the club. Fair enough you can subtract whatever debt still is attached to the club from that valuation. Still, you're not bringing the value of the club down anywhere near what a "membership" setup will be able to purchase. You'd have to allow multiple shareholding up to 10-20% or more.
And remember, every other club on the pyramid would be listed at the same time. The number of investors each club will attract will then be limited a bit more.
You can't just reverse engineer German 50%+1 without nationalizing football and taking the clubs from their ownership. Which is basically the antithesis of how we do anything else in democratic capitalism, and would absolutely jam up the courts for years.

100% boycott of the club and these guys will sell quicker than you can say European Super League.....
The 1st rule of levy/enic out club, is we do not talk about levy/enic out club. The 2nd rule of levy/enic out club, is we do not talk about levy/enic out club.Wait. They ain’t the same person? I always saw them like Tyler Durden.
Levy isn't honourable enough to walk away. He has no shame.Woodward and Agnelli resigned
Come on Baldie, you have tortured us for decaded, fuck off in peace now
Me, joan but who's the 3rd?There’s about three people on this board that I would come close to trusting with having any say in how the club is run.

Even I knew it wouldn't get off the ground. Was obvious. Neville called it on his rant as well. Levy isn't as smart as people seem to give him credit for.Other owners may have had the wisdom and foresight that this thing was going to go bust almost instantly.
PSG saw it.
I must also confess, I hate to say....I take absolutely no pleasure in random poll results on here mate
It does when the company is crumbling around the owners feet....as the company (or football club in this instance) continues to bleed money and devalues in the stock market....In football terms that’s a “hostile takeover” or “get the fuck out of my club”A hostile takeover doesn't really work for a privately owned company.
Really bizarre that you, of all people, are basically calling for nationalisation of football.
Mr. Hyde....you do realize that you're Dr. Jekyll?
But financially Spurs have weathered covid better than almost any other club. I don't see where the devaluing is gonna come from? I don't think there will be mass action now.It does when the company is crumbling around the owners feet....as the company (or football club in this instance) continues to bleed money and devalues in the stock market....In football terms that’s a “hostile takeover” or “get the fuck out of my club”
Its been good in a way. As even after this, it has shown that people still backing levy & ENIC, will back them no matter what. They will always defend them & support them even if our club keeps paying the price for their mistakes. In fact the more cock ups they make, the more they double down on their support of them.And so was your defending the indefensible over the last couple of days, and even now
It’s season ticket and membership renewal time for one, new kit launch not too far away....The fans of this club, like any club have all the power, if they choose to use that power of course....But financially Spurs have weathered covid better than almost any other club.

Maybe. Would be good to see. I just don't know that the level of furor will sustain.It’s season ticket and membership renewal time for one, new kit launch not too far away....The fans of this club, like any club have all the power, if they choose to use that power of course....
Football is like nothing else on the planet, once it’s fans are united in a single cause they usually get what they want...just in the past 24hrs football fans collapsed a £5bn Super league and beat down the 12 richest clubs in Europe, Levy doesn’t stand a chance if the fans turn on him.....Sorry, if the fans do their job I mean....
