If he ever sells I suspect it will be to an American owner similar to ENIC. We aren’t lucky enough to get an owner with unlimited cash and a willing to spend it.

No, I understand fans are completely fickle and they didn't really want him out which is what I was saying all along.
It's seemingly VERY easy to ignore the obvious contributory factors to that stat that extend beyond "Levy is a thief and a tyrant".
It's also seemingly easy to ignore the fact that our trophy haul has been scant since 1984; not simply for the last 23 years.
Lastly it's easy to see we're a bigger, more credible presence in the upper echelons of the game since that last LC trophy, despite it being our last.
That aside, we've been top before in recent years.... Why should such vociferous voices so easily and quickly become dormant? Personally I couldn't give a shit and am just happy to get on with enjoying the club for the better; but it's a fair and pertinent question.

That’s an understatement.
Most of us here watch week in, week out so those individual games you write off matter. They’re the games that affect our psyche for the following week.
For example, we went undefeated at home in 2016-17 for the first time in over 50 years. That’s not ‘some individual games’.
All you have to do is compare per club revenue from the top 30 European football clubs with that of the NBA, then realize the NBA is far less globally popular. The owners won't be content long term to continue missing out on the massive revenue they can gain by setting up a similar system, especially when it comes with the opportunity to better control labor costs to provide steady profits.
A league season with a title or cup tournament is made up of individual matches. We won individual matches, we didnt win titles, thats just a fact.
If he can make our team into a contender every year for league and UCL.
I'm up for it.
Actually I'm up for any owner who actually wants to win something. ENIC has been good off the field but I think that is the problem. They don't have enough ambition or focus on winning since they are raking in the money.
Its how they back the manager up in the following seasons consistently and they haven't really been great at that department.
Its not even about levy or enic as such. Fans care about wanting the current owners gone when we lose, they dont care when we win. We are winning now, so they dont care. If we end up 6th again and somehow brighton finish above us, it will be levy out enic out all over again.
My argument was in your use of the the word ‘some’
Over a decade, won more individual matches than we ever had before. That’s not disputable.
I watch every game. I like to win ‘more’ over ‘some’.
I find it better for my mood.
That's literally my point, dude.
Spurs fans in nightshirt thobes and tea-towel headdresses?
Naaa, you're alright.
Naaa, you're alright.
Think we are stuck with levy and ENIC, if they don't buy utd and instead end up at WHU.
That would be, a kick in the nuts if they turned into the next city, Newcastle, but I can't see them buying into spurs.

I really just wanted to know if this guy in particular was a suspicious character or if people were just being discriminatory against Qataris in general. Someone above said:
The issue with the Qataris is they're slave owning human rights abusers, not that they don't extend their pinky when drinking a cuppa.
But it’s much of a muchness to me as I don’t think the English or Australian governments are much better with human rights abuses.
I don't want Spurs to be owned by them either.
States shouldn’t own football clubs. Especially dodgy ones.
But they do. Its not just one or two clubs now. So if we end up being next, well at least we can (hopefully) compete on a level playing field with the rest. Our club has more history and spirit than many of those clubs so we could dominate as we deserve to.

It’s very easy to see that the entire structure of football has changed significantly over those 23 years.
Take the number of unique league/cup winners from 2000-2023 and compare it to 1977-1999. I won’t even look and can guarantee there was much more parity in the 70s 80s and 90s.
Money and lack of regulation has made all competitions extremely lopsided.
It’s fair to say we’ve underperformed in cups in the Enic era, but you can’t ignore the lack of parity compared to half a century ago.
I don’t know what your agenda is but you’re willfully ignoring the fact that:
Neither the Australian or British governments own a football team. None of the individual EPL owners are involved in governance of an authoritarian human rights abuser that sponsors terrorism.
So people are using his connection to the Qatari government and it’s human rights abuses as way to say ‘Thanks but no thanks’, while conveniently ignoring the human rights abuses of their own government. It just seems a tad hypocritical for it to matter when it comes to their football club. But you’re right, those governments don’t have an explicit connection to football and I am assuming those people don’t care about what their own governments do, when they possibly care a lot, but thankfully there is football to distract everyone from caring too much about anything anyway.
I guess we’ll find that out when the Ministry of Sport decides to buy Chelsea.
You’re having a ‘mare. More misses than N’Ketiah.
Such is life
