I think they had to do it legally. Plus the money has to be spent by the end of this year. So basically this transfer window. It is good news.

Fortunately he only mainly posts in the Enic thread so you don’t have to argue with him in any of the others.
Fantastic news that the long term plan appears to be finally coming to fruition. It’s an odd feeling for a Spurs fan.
Two things come to mind.
1. Isn’t it generally accepted you don’t show your hand too early in negotiations? We probably just got hit with a 10% rich tax on any incoming transfers.
2. Should we now expect to see the owners start drawing profits in some manner?

And Winks is a part of Tottenham, but no one is patting him on the back for our 4th place miracle.
I always try to give Lewis/ENIC/Levy equal amounts of stick.Cunt Levy off when there's no investment, ignore him when there is (appears to be at least) makes sense
He controls what THFC do year on year with income and outgoings generated by the club and reports into as well as make recommendations to ENIC.
For 21 years he's been trying to increase revenue with cheap to purchase players with high resale values and subsequent reinvestment. Well, in fairness probably 12-15 years of that.
This investment has come from the head office, not from Levy. Now it may be that Levy went in there hat in hand and begged for it and put a case forwards for it.
IF that happened then my hat is off to him. Should have done it in peak Poch era but let's move on.
Oh no, have the spent it all already?
Add on the champions league monies and hopefully we'll shift some deadwood, all adds up.
Not a bad pot considering our record spend is just shy of £50m for ndombele.
Levy owns 30% of ENIC so Levy is effectively putting 50 million quid into Spurs whilst Lewis puts the other 100 million. Not chump change.
they’ve done it by a cash injection as they probably can‘t do it via an Abramovich style loan even if they wanted to. The reason being the bank debt funding the stadium - banks don’t like other creditors on the same company / asset. Chelsea don’t have bank debt in the same way (nor do they have a half decent stadium)
this cash injection from ENIC should be welcomed by all. Everyone has been calling for ENIC to put their own money into Spurs and now they do, you all try and desperately find negatives to peddle out instead of enjoying the moment.
Not to mention the best stadium in Europe and two of the greatest goal scorers on the planet.
Nuno was manager less than 7 months ago.
The kind of day you and I have been calling for for 20 years my friend.
It's a promising, long overdue moment...... A start.
But a moment we deserve to cherish nonetheless.
Let's drink it in.
Where were you sat in the stadium Vs Utd?
I'm interested as so many claim to have heard 'levy out' chants, yet all I heard were chants against Nuno.
I think financial rules mean we have to disclose it, but I think the press release "on and off the pitch" I think is supposed to mitigate that.
Journos as saying it's all for transfers but I think clubs will have to take that as hearsay but absolutely no one gets a deal over Levy.
I’ve just bought a lottery ticket…..
It’s been that sort of week.
It’s been that sort of week.
I was in the park lane end and there definitely was Levy out chants.
It was more so he would not disappear
10 or 20 people don't constitute 'chants'.
Does At the Emirates. Just saying
