Postecogou had support from all sorts of ex-players, one I can think of off the top of my head is Hoddle. So there's no reason for me to believe that Mabbutt wasn't speaking his true mind.
I don't think he's the sort of bloke who would stand there and lie.
We all knew it would happen. I remain unstunned.

Salt of the Earth...always ready to stop and pass the time and chat on matchday.
Worthwhile commenting that as Tottenham Hotspur was once quoted and had a number of shareholders who were not bought out by ENIC, an undertaking was
given by the club to be bound by a number of listed company requirements including the Takeover Code.
The announcement above is a requirement of the Takeover Code.

This looks suspiciously like a “shit or get off the pot” statement. Could they be trying to force a quick sale?Statement regarding media speculation

...hence the Club statement and the above retraction from the interested party.
Yes it is a “shit or get off the pot” statement - its designed to ensure there is not an ongoing series of bids put in.
If I were Staverley or the other bidder, I'd decide what amount I wanted to bid and make a verbal bid to test out the waters but unless I got a really positive response, I d give up and wait for 6 months. No point in putting in a formal written offer (offers are expensive to put together (and take a lot of time to arrange binding offers of finance) if the verbal offer is rejected outright.
But to get positive verbal encouragement she'd need to be bidding at the high end of any valuation - maybe 4 bn or so.
"Shit or get off the pot" is what I want ENIC to do.
Well if he is the fan he claims to be I look forward to seeing him attending matches on an ongoing basis . He will fit in well in the South Stand and the goal line bar

Lots of possibilities.
As an example it could be (solely my conjecture) that bids were made to enic say a few weeks ago saying they wanted to bid X but wanted to be able to change out the entire management team (including Levy) ....... Lewis family decided it was better to ask Levy to step down in order for bid (at a high level) to be made.
If that is the case, it maybe a bid will be made and be accepted within the month allowed to them.
If the bid is not made or not accepted then enic/Lewis should now they need to pump more investment money in to support Vennai and Charrington going forward
So......who's the new scapegoat?
The gooner would be the obvious place to start.
Pah!The man behind his downfall. The one who has been plotting revenge. The true master puppeteer.
Sooty and Sweep would out think that brain donor!
Just another cuck, like Andros Townsend before him.
So anyone that doesn’t hold the same view as yourself is a cuck?
These people know Levy personally and have had dealings with him professionally, so dare say may have a little more insight than you!
