Superleague.

Something that Levy, rightly, was heavily criticised for.

Okay. At the end of the day though every corporation essentially has the same goal, which is to maximize profits and corporate value. We just happen to have a different, emotional investment into the club where that doesn’t matter anywhere near as much. This isn’t a hobby for them, it’s an investment.

The sooner everyone understands that, the easier it is to accept. And acceptance doesn’t mean that you have to be happy about it.

Football, from a financial point of view, makes next to zero sense. You don’t really make any money. It’s a question of how much you lose and how much you win whilst doing it. That’s why it attracts gangsters and cheats and billionaires and clowns. You pay to be part of the fun.

It’s also why the top clubs are so desperate to push the ESL - as it will offer the stability and some possibility of returning to profit (although destroy domestic football in the process).

ENIC will not make significant profit from day to day business at Spurs. What they do will go back into the club. Unfortunately, they have no interest in *losing* money. So everything is all very sensible and accounted for.

It would be ideal if they sold up now, took the enormous dividends from the value of the sale, and someone took over that was a little more keen to get involved in the art of losing money in style.

It would be a pity to see the august dignity and profound moral purity of Premier League football sullied in such a manner.

Uh ... everyone does understand it. Everyone just wants owners who also focus on the sporting side of the club more, which lots of other owners do. Liverpool are ran as a money making operation but also have a strong focus on the pitch side of things, thus they've won trophies + grown economically.

This lot are only competent at the commercial side of the club. When it comes to running a successful football team they have no idea, no plan, no clue. Hence why people would rather have owners that can do both, and thus are ENIC out. Not that hard to understand.

So an Oilgarth or Sheikh
 
Spurs fans are so fickle , none of you will be slagging ENIC when they deliver the Spice Girls reunion concert
We will be the envy of every football fan on the planet when Scary Spice tells a packed stadium what she really really really wants

All those things you've mentioned benefit THFC.
It's THFC that gets the revenue from the extra events and from the stadium.
This is an indisputable fact.

They will make billions when sold, no doubt about that.

I don't think they benefit the footballing side as much as you think . The extra revenue is sidelined or incompetently used by people who have little passion or knowledge for football. We are not more competitive than a decade ago arguably worse .
Enic's policy will fail the football side as always but not the sale.

Will look forward to the three or four lads opposite the club shop with their Levy Out banner(s) at the next home game.

Spurs fans are passive at the best of times. If Joe Lewis took £300m out of the club to buy art and Levy wiped his arse with Tottenham Hotspur printed toilet paper there would be 10 guys at the stadium with a banner and the rest moaning on this forum probably me included. It’s mostly just letting off steam, we don’t have the drive or anger of other fans like Liverpool FC. Just not our nature.

Liverpool’s owners are literally trying to sell the fucking thing and still managed to sign one of the bigger names in the market right now. That’s what you call balancing both the football and business.

I agree we are passive , including me , l dislike them but there are more important things in life with the country in economic meltdown.
Liverpool had hordes more in Madrid than us , l was surprised if not embarrassed about their level of commitment.
