Seriously though. You'd think any prospective new owners would want a fresh start, a clean slate and a fully united fan base behind them.

Reinstating Levy is one sure fire way of achieving the opposite
There will be a pot of interested parties in terms of a sale. I'd go so far to say morso than any other football club in world football. But that's because we're extremely profitable, so a lot of those parties are not the sort that most would pine for on here
Funny the Lewis family have been watching the same shit as us for the last 25 years ......and all of a sudden they want to do the opposite...BS
Two thoughts:
1) I appreciate vinai giving an update. Thankyou vinai for communicating.
2) I don't buy this "the family have turned a new leaf" narrative. It seems to be gaslighting of the highest order having been majority owners from the beginning. Nothing has changed to suggest they suddenly want to compete with the elite teams. Also noted that a priority is to continue to grow our revenue. Unless its through negotiating a stadium sponsorship or better kit deals, it just sounds like more of the same where the real estate empire continues alongside the football. I'm disappointed that there appears to be a real possibility that a takeover doesn't happen unless a buyer makes a monumental offer.
After watching that video I can’t see them selling us in the short term after all. Time for them to put their big boy pants on and invest properly in the club and team.
I’ve been wondering this ever since last week. Or maybe the Trust has been settled. Surely it would have leaked out had he died though.
I am taking an extremely "wait and see" attitude toward this whole thing, but I find this line of argument very strange.
So much is unknown in all of this, including when and how and to what extent any such changeover of power happened, but what is absolutely crystal clear is that the majority owner of Tottenham when it was purchased by ENIC up until at least 2021 or so was not "The Lewis Family", it was Joe Lewis.
That has now changed. We don't know much more than that, but we do know that much to an absolute certainty.
Unless it's Jerry Lee I couldn't give a flying fuck.
You are still failing to acknowledge that ENIC leadership has changed. The Lewis kids took over from their dad and one of the first things they did was commission a review of the club, then hire a Non exec chair, a CEO and fire Levy.
Very reckless decisions from them. They should have come on here and read posts from Aiirfix, Shady and La Baguette for a more informed and objective assessment of sire’s greatness
It could just be that his faculties have finally gone.
It's the oldest trick in the book to claim this to try and avoid jail time, but still, the word at the time of his sentencing on the insider trading charges a year or so ago was that he was not in good health.
I really think the kids wouldn’t have had the balls to “Julius Caesar” Levy if the old man was still cognisant.
Yeah, as I'd said somewhere along the line, formally legally speaking the assets being put into trust totally severs any power Joe Lewis personally had over the club.
But in the real world? People who are in the business of trust administration are not in the business of acting contrary to the wishes of still-alive billionaires, the most valuable kind of client for trust administration services.
Based on everything we know about Joe & Daniel, it's hard to believe that Levy has been unceremoniously sacked if Joe is still capable of speaking up against it.
Very fair, but it's strange how much they're pumping "the Lewis Family" in the media. Would be very strange to put a gigantic bullseye on themselves after seeing how the supports go at Levy.
He’s 90 now though. Surely he’s not involved that really is old as fuck
Im inclined to think this way as well. For now.
It’s fine to talk the talk, but until I see ENIC walking the walk I refuse to believe anything will truly change.
The whole thing is just so surreal and bizarre though.
It raises so many more questions than answers.
