Is it possible for the ethics and policies of the club to be separate from the ethics and policies of the owners?

I ask because Joe Lewis makes us pretty far from the moral high ground. He’s been pretty despicable in more than one situation.

If Lewis doesn’t define what Tottenham Hotspur is, why would a Sheik from Qatar define what Tottenham Hotspur is?
 
No thanks.

Some things are bigger than football.

Just cos some have sold their soul...just cos some would rather have money than make a stand... Doesn't mean we have to join them.
 
I don’t understand what you’re standing up against. What’s the difference between money from say an American billionaire or investment company like ENIC and money from a sheik?
Funding and enabling global terrorism for a start. Extremist human rights abuses for another, especially against women.

Qatar directly funds and supports Hamas, and is part of the Iran-Russia axis. Nothing could be more inappropriate for Tottenham.

Yeah but this guy has an impressive record of humanitarian work and brokering peace deals in the Middle East. Is what you’re saying true of him?
 
One of the major reasons why Utd didn't sell to the Middle East is because the govt got involved - they are against Sheikh investment in the PL so I doubt you're see any more takeovers of this kind at least for the time being.
 
It's always a no for me. Happy for ENIC to go, but if we're sold to cunts like these then I'm out.

I can't lose my love for the club. Not possible.

But I will hate it the day we are run or owned by such people.

It's a bit of hypocrisy some might say, as there are few owners who can be considered to be squeaky clean, but there has to be a line.

It will be whatever it is and we are there to be acquired (at a very high price) but.....
 
Does this bloke even exist?

Only two photos of him seem to be published, he didn’t visit the ground or training ground through all of this even though he was invited and he hasn’t given one interview.
 
Well, let see:
They bribed FIFA to procure a World Cup.
They committed a host of human rights abuses on both their own citizens and guest workers
And, the kicker, they sponsored Jabhat Al-Nusra, the Syrian affiliate of Al-Qaeda, amongst other terrorist organizations.
Other than that, they’re pretty run of the mill.
We don't fucking want them, they will turn the club into a falconer training center!
 
Yes but the English colonised numerous countries and committed genocide on the Indigenous populations. Stole various artefacts and refuse to return them. More recently have imported Australia’s cruel policy of offshore processing of refugees, or at least tried to, and are currently supporting Israel in the current conflict ergo who gives a fuck?
Are we owned by the British government? I must have missed that.
 
We are Tottenham fucking Hortspur. We don't want things in an easy way :D .

We are in it for the struggle, dissapointments and "almost-there"'s :D . So no cheatcodes please. Lets keep going as we are.

....

But all the irony aside, then - yes, I rather see us doing the right thing and have lower chance of trophies than join this absolute fucking disgusting race that is ruining football right now.
No grade A human right abusers please. No constant suppression of female rights. No corruption-based economies. Fuck all that.
 
If they make all ticket prices the same price as Manchester City and bring back the pie / sausage roll and pint offer sure a lot less people will care about the morals.
However if they kept the ticket prices the same despite being worth £100’000’0000’000’000’000’000’000’000’000’000’000’000’000’000’000’0000’000’000’000’000’000’000’000’000’000’000’000’000’000’0000’000’000’000’000’000’000’000’000’000’000’000’000
Then I’m out for good.
Still not even sure that’s enough zeros tbh.

The only time I have seen him on video, is when he gave an 8 year old a brand new Mercedes...

The grabby 'Can I have your shirt' cards are going to go up a level if this guy has any part of our future (which i hope he doesn't actually, as much ire as we may or may not have for Levy and ENIC, I don't want us to be another sports washing project)
