Management Who is Jahm Najafi and will he be better than Enic?

If it’s a leveraged buy out we are fucked. See Glazers.
Anyone who can't see this for what it is, like Levy/ENIC, part of the problem. Getting levyied or leveraged is like trying to decide between slow slicing or death by a thousand cuts.

Can't wait for the next new owners poll.....my leanings are towards either the tooth fairy or a ragged trousered philanthropist.
 
Guessing they're (spurs) opening the season ticket renewal process soon.

We're not getting sold to a happy billionaire

why us at not liverpool who are open to being sold. they are at least closer to united in terms of brand value
United are looking at closer to $6bn, which is a hell of a jump. plus they have a similar amount of debt as us but at much higher rates.

Old Trafford needs a lot of work, so to does Carrington, their training ground. So there will be a lot of capital expenditure there expected on top of whatever you can afford for transfers. We already have all that sorted.

It also gets mentioned a lot that London is a lot more glamourous than the north, especially if the new foreign owner is expected to be here for extended periods of time.
 
we've not even declared the club is partially for sale like Liverpool have so i dont think it's just some bizzare game being played by glazers to drive up their price

Ok but I think we are for sale. First Lewis rearranges his ownership last October then the Qatari news in January, then this guy today, then Matt Law says an American bid £2.5 billion for us last year and then Mokibel names the price (over £4 billion) and he’s been good on us recently.

However, we’ve all been involved watching football for long enough to know nothing in this business is usually as it seems and especially where we are involved. It’s never straight forward.
 
I wonder what Levy’s day to day looks like:

9am - 10am: read the papers (sports sections already removed by his secretary)
10am - 11am: check up on the real estate
11am - 2pm: lunch
2pm - 2:10pm: discuss the team with Antonio (if he’s asking difficult questions cut it to 2:05pm)
2:10pm - 2:15pm: check Paratici’s QuickBooks
2:15pm - 2:30pm: beg Harry to sign
2:30pm - 4pm: nap time
4pm - 5pm: check real estate again
5pm: home time
Now Im invested. What happens when he gets home?
 
After inheriting the calamitous wobbling shit storm that sugar left and given what the catastrophic effect their new ground had on the Woolwich .. given we've now got the best footie stadium in the prem AND supposedly the best training facility... 750 mil debt is reasonable IMO To get us financially competitive relatively quickly is a job well done . The next step IS financing a top 4 the team ... ATM imo given our recent history were doing ok... Will the new folk.. be as good.. who knows...

And ownership changes in football, or any business of this size for that matter, are bound to take some time.

Chelsea's speedy sale was obviously an extreme outlier with a lot of external factors playing into it.
