How does him saying he doesn't want the Saudis to run Spurs exonerate ENIC?
It doesn't; you're just talking to the resident troll/liar/generally toxic nasty piece of work....

How does him saying he doesn't want the Saudis to run Spurs exonerate ENIC?
Yes, and we called them out for it. Most people on this forum were ready to stop following/giving a shit about Spurs just because of the ESL. So yes, we can have a say. Stop trying to change the narrative.
No way do I want Tottenham taken over.
It's frustrating but I enjoy the way we're run. Least it's not funded by blood money or oil.
Well yes, but I don't recall there ever being an end goal anyhow. The original question is do you care about the morals of the owners? My answer is simply not really, because top level football is void of morality anyhow, and I'm not going to waste my time categorising billionaires by the extent of their crimes.
And I said I'm not an idealist. I was simply asked what would have to happen for the situation to change, which is that. You're not fundamentally altering how football clubs are run in this country without that kind of event. I don't believe that event is probable, or even really possible.
Where we clearly disagree is that you can see a big gap between these people, and other billionaires. I've explained at length why I do not, and you've said why you do. There's no altering how we differently perceive these people, so yes .. dead end.
So if I'm reading the general consensus of this thread right, where Newcastle fans are dancing in the streets celebrating, if it was us, we should all be in the streets protesting?
If that "financial footing" we have created is not exploited once it starts to bear fruit then perhaps your closing criticisms become something other than theory/suspicion.
That’s how’s done in Portugal. A club can’t be sold without the “sócios” approve by majority vote.Football clubs would be owned primarily by the fans.
And I don't believe for a second the 'utopia' is possible, the game sold out to the most hardcore forms of capitalism a long, long time ago. There's no point discussing how that might shift because none of the requirements for systemic change currently exist.

Plenty of good owners out there without resorting to this. Liverpool, Leicester, Brighton, Villa, Brentford. Cant we just have one like that, who prioritise the football, who are open and honest, who invest when needed without making excuses, who dont treat their fans with barely concealed contempt.
And the fuckers pulled the £5 pie and pint deal if within an hour of kick off. That alone is enough!Not changing anything. My point is, we are not some sort of football messiah club. Look at the pandemic and the shit our club tried to pull with the payment and furlough. They might not be murderers like the Arab state, but they try and fuck people over other ways.
Ugh, do I have to dig out the charts again? I’m busy mateYeh; we are..... Let me know when you think it's begun to finally bear fruit and we can resume our little chat.

True. But when it mattered, when they knew they had their best manager for a generation, they identified the 2 weak areas in the team and went and got the best keeper and centre back out there. Yes, the Coutinho money helped but when you look at what we did in inThe Dippers lot generally face a lot of the same criticism as ours tbf....... Not football men..... Furlough... ESL..... Ticket pricing........ Under-investing on players (be curious to see where they ended up if not for that crazy Coutinho fee so quickly after selling Suarez & Sterling)...... yada yada.

It would probably make it more desirable for the oil tycoons. But at least the talent wouldn't be bought up to 3-4 teamsI agree it'd work to distribute talent better, but not sure it'd put off the unsavoury investors.
