I have been to Iran many times , very nice friendly cultured people . Don’t tar everyone with the religious cleric brush
Billionaire Jahm Najafi preparing a $3.75bn takeover bid for Tottenham
However, Sportsmail understands that Spurs are not the only club Najafi is interested in buying or has looked at - and that he is and has considered investing at another Premier League team too.
Just seen the news, fucking hell.
Probably been covered already but the PL won't allow leveraged buyouts with the new government rules coming into play. No chance.

Announce Nakafi
I’m all for it. And I know jack shit about the guy
lets hope think we need a fresh change from the top
Hercules jumping on a story after the mainstream media break it, without ever previously implying anything at all? Surely not.
Not sure it's sports washing if they aren't publicly heading up the ownership. How much soft power do they gain having 30% share of an investment fund that owns spurs. Seems this more of a traditional investment rather than a sports washing project.
I suppose they could then use spurs as an advertisement board sticking loads of abu Dhabi brands on the club and stadium.
There must be something going on, first the Quatari's and now this. Thats more talk in a few weeks than we've over the last decade. Also new contracts seem to have stopped, Paratici limping on despite the Italian ban. It does feel like things are on a holding pattern. I still think Levy will have to be prised away though because he enjoys it all too much.
I mean, their name literally includes the term 'Investment Company'. They've pumped our value up like crazy compared to their initial investment, so taking the profit now would make sense. I swear their tack has always been that it's not 'actively' for sale but would be for the right price.
(Unless their plan would be to simply drain money from the club like a vampire from this point on, but you'd imagine the asset value might then drop by playing that game)
more to lewis i reckon rather then levy
getting ancient now and may want to cash in
You getting worried ?
Nicest people I’ve ever met , overly friendly & kind

I'm not sure it is entirely fan fiction that Levy meddles in the footballing affairs.Certainly it is exaggerated, but even the Amazon doc left an impression of a Chairman more involved in the footballing side than he ought to be.
Either way, he has accountability given his role as chairman. Even if not involved he clearly isn't implementing the right structure to get things right at the club (choice of manager and recruitment team primarily) so as a leader he is failing however you want to look at it.
