At the price the club would require its reprehensible oil despots, dodgy ex-soviet billionaires, and American styled hedge fund investment conglomerates.Does anyone know who could potentially buy the club, or who they might want? Mike Ashley has been looking to sell on and off for a while and hasn't found a buyer. It's not so easy. There was a serious offer from a Saudi group recently, but this was stopped because of ethical problems with the buyers. Who might come in to buy Spurs and is there anybody that might be better? People are very critical of Levy and I understand some of that. Especially this week, this move has been outrageous. I'm wondering if the owners need punishment for this, because it was ludicrous. But is there a better option out there that we know of? Sometimes the grass isn't greener on the other side. If somebody knows of a potential buyer, that might be interesting.
Any fan I know is heading to the game tomorrow night to let the bald one know their feelings, but your right can the fury sustain, only time will tell....Maybe. Would be good to see. I just don't know that the level of furor will sustain.
Still, would like to see some movement on forcing real reform. A real look at how to get to a 50+1 sort of situation...I think it can be done, just think the German model isn't directly achievable. Some approximation is, though.
I wonder how much the price of honour is then.Levy isn't honourable enough to walk away. He has no shame.
So you're looking for billionaires with honour?Any fan I know is heading to the game tomorrow night to let the bald one know their feelings, but your right can the fury sustain, only time will tell....
Forget what we thought of Levy in the past , this guy isn’t an honourable man that is plain to see now, and to have any self respect left he can not be allowed to lead this club for much longer no matter what candy he throws out to us.....
No matter what we think of the EPL or UFEA we must look at our own house before we talk about them, and it’s simple, Levy and Lewis are not what this club is about.....
50+1 is a decent idea, this is certainly a wake up call to all football fans....150 years of this institutional game can be destroyed by one move bold move by a few big corporations....
Football is basically a microcosm of what big businesses are doing the world over....
Aaaasnd a real supporter of THFCSo you're looking for billionaires with honour?
Yep....So you're looking for billionaires with honour?
After yet another fail, surely this bald midget and his boyfriend need to sell up and leave.
Trouble is they are all American .....Thankfully there is a long line of people looking to buy a business with a 1 billion pound debt and a stadium in one of the most impoverished areas of london.
Jog on, ENIC botBetter the devil you know - from a mid table near bankrupt going nowhere club to one of the top twelve in the world - is it really that bad?
Sure he's a bald cunt, but he's our bald cunt, you need someone as CEO who thinks about the money with his head not his heart.
Do we want a Glazier/Kroenke/FSG? do we want Sheikhs or Oligarchs? do we want an Ashley, Srivaddhanaprabha, Jisheng, Sawiris or Harris?
We all know the grass always looks greener - but just how often is it?
3. Rich Yank backed by solid investors and a deep bank account at JP Morgan or Goldman Sachs who is keen to invest and actually win shit in order to grow the brand much like Fenway didWho do people want to buy us:
1. an investment firm through a leveraged buyout who will take millions of pounds out of the club via dividends each year (like the Glaziers) or
2. A natural resources billionaire with questionable ethical morals who uses us a play toy.
My preference is 2 but 1 is so much more likely it’s untrue. Unfortunately we are a bit fucked new owner wise.

3 is also interested in growing the brand and winning silverware not just maximising profits3 isn't really different to 1 - both looking maximise returns on their money
Lol Fenway were rumoured to be one of the architects of the whole Super League thing!3. Rich Yank backed by solid investors and a deep bank account at JP Morgan or Goldman Sachs who is keen to invest and actually win shit in order to grow the brand much like Fenway did
The two discussions are unrelated - they have been a massive success at Liverpool since taking over - at a time we used to finish consistently above themLol Fenway were rumoured to be one of the architects of the whole Super League thing!
