This thread needs to be pinned at the top.

We win a game against a poor team and suddenly people forget the main issue here.

Looks like ENIC ambition is overwhelming fans. The number and quality of incomings!!!!!! We are speechless.

We are going to win the double (EPL and CL).

As I have said numerous times I don't do tirades or blind criticism. It's tiring and often too myopic and one-sided.

But I said at the time of Levy's exit that if the presumption from ENIC was he blocked progress or that he created difficulty in the transfer market, then things had to be seen to be different.

Then you add the supposed 100 million, and now the CL money, and then we see a net spend of zero or very close. It's rat sh!t.

Last full season for ENIC is my opinion, which I wrote yesterday.

The level of insults, which should arrive, regardless of staying-up (I won't say survival quite yet, which I have been writing), will be off the scale and incessant, I think.

ENIC have set themselves up for a big backlash.

All the PR bullshit about wanting to win more, effectively putting where we are on Levy, putting 100m into club for signings, we can't even get 31 year old Robertson over the line and now spinning a tale re semenyo who everyone knew we didn't stand a chance in signing.

They raised expectations and have delivered one player despite us being 14th in league and decimated by injuries (sound familiar?!)
Levy is no longer there to be chanted at so it's going to turn onto ENIC and with the state of the squad and club, they are going to be in for a very very tough time and rightly so.

That's funny. His valuation of the club has fallen dramatically, now that he's trying to profit directly for himself. Little weasel.

How do you mean?

He’s selling his stake which is roughly 30%, not the whole club, of course the figure’s lower than the valuation being thrown around before...that was for 100% ownership, not a minority stake.

Levy Is Said in Talks to Sell Stake in Tottenham Hotspur​

Businessman Daniel Levy is in talks to sell his nearly 30% stake in the group that owns Tottenham Hotspur to a consortium that includes Hong Kong businessman Ng Wing Fai, according to people familiar with the matter.

Levy, who was ousted as executive chairman of Premier League team Tottenham last year, is in discussions to sell his stake for about £1 billion ($1.4 billion), one of the people said, asking not to be identified as the information is private. Most of the capital is coming from a number of Asian business tycoons, the people said. The names of the consortium could not immediately be learned.

There's some info about this consortium in the article on TFC from a few months ago Success at all costs? A deep dive into the ethical records of Spurs’ current and prospective owners

copied and pasted here:

Hong-Kong based Wing-Fai Ng is the executive director and CEO of Triller group, a Nasdaq listed company that produces an app looking to rival TikTok. His background is in restructuring and transforming financial institutions. He has been involved in a series of financial businesses, including EON Bank, and New China Life Insurance. One of the businesses that Triller manages is the fast growing Chinese Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. In general he is heavily interested in the economic development of Hong Kong and the surroundings, but refrains from making overtly political statements.


Information is limited, but Wing-Fai Ng appears to be a relatively typical, highly successful businessperson. Furthermore, given the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) highly aggressive turn against Taiwanese businesses, the fact that Wing-Fai Ng once served as Group Managing Director at Fubon Financial Holding Co., Taiwan’s largest financial services conglomerate, means associations between the CCP and Wing-Fai Ng are perhaps tenuous.

Wing-Fai Ng is based in Hong Kong, where the CCP has recently made a series of significant anti-democratic moves in their attempt to shut down the region’s democratic independence and align it more broadly with the centralised Communist Party. The human rights situation in Hong Kong has deteriorated rapidly since the CCP implemented the 2020 National Security Law, which has been used to criminalise dissent. Since then, over 90 NGOs, 175 trade unions, and multiple independent media outlets have disbanded under pressure. Prominent journalists and pro-democracy figures have been jailed, and high-profile trials have reinforced a pervasive climate of fear and self-censorship. Hong Kong is not the bastion of freedom and democracy that it once was. Beyond Hong Kong, the CCP´s crimes are well documented including what many refer to as the ongoing genocide of the Uyghur muslim population in China.


Roger Kennedy, the other bidder, likely refers to Roger C. Kennedy (although this is not officially confirmed). Kennedy is the Non-Executive Chairman at British-based Victoria Oil & Gas Plc and a Member at New York State Bar Association. He is on the Board of Directors at Wing-Fai Ng’s Triller Group, Inc, appointed in early 2025.


A subsidiary of Victoria Oil & Gas was sued by communities in Cameroon via the OECD in 2018 around the negative effects of water pollution, noise and nuisance from (explosions at) the gas exploitation site, destruction of homes and the loss of household income. A remediation process is thought to be underway.

Concerns were also raised about Triller’s financial health. The organisation faced a $35.5 million lawsuit for alleged default in December of 2024.

ENIC's field is Slavia Prague, Rangers, Basel, and AEK Athens. That's their level, that's their ambition. What do you expect from such owners acquiring a big historical EPL London Club like Tottenham Hotspur? They are going to use same style of management.
Imagine a guy rides a bicycle to commute and do all his chores. He is happy with it. Even though he has the money, He is content to ride it despite the rain, snow, etc. etc. Suddenly, he is offered the chance to buy a limited-edition Lamborghini. He doesn't know how to drive it, he doesn't have any intentions to do so even. All he wants is to accessorize it, maybe change colors, etc. and his goal is the value of it down the years being multiples of what he originally paid.
It did of course, except, the Lamborghini has flat tires, there is dust, rust, and rodent feces inside. The value did go up, but it looks so bad, it is not running properly, it smells, and needs time to restore since it's almost never been driven.

Maybe he has, and they refused his valuation.

In fairness mate, as much as I hate them, Rangers are every bit as big a club as Spurs, if not bigger. And in terms of fan expectations, they blow Spurs out the water. If an owner ran Rangers or Celtic they way ENIC have us for 25 years, they would have death threats and mobs at their front door.

Look at Celtic this season, one bad summer window after winning probably 85% of the domestic honours available to them over the past 15 years, and their chairman was forced to resign after receiving threats to him and his family. And their fans are protesting against the board at every game and showing up at agm’s and forcing them to be cancelled. Until you live up here, you don’t realise how intense both clubs’ fanbases are. There’s no club in England that are close to either of them in that respect. In terms of fan expectations, Spurs are to them, what Brentford or Brighton are to Spurs.

The league they’re in holds them and Celtic back, but if they were ever to get into the English Pyramid, both clubs would be competing for the title within 10 years and would have revenues in the same region as ourselves and all the other big 6 clubs.

They’d be minority owners though wouldn’t they….
