Did nothing? HahahahahahhaaUnbelievable
In short - CFC have a chairman who did nothing to obtain the vast amount of money
You just don't understand what being a Tottenham supporter is all about do you ?Pick a team that you like
You just don't understand what being a Tottenham supporter is all about do you ?
You don't pick this wonderful club, it selects you ... it calls to you, seduces you and then you are hooked for life. It's not something you pick up from a shelf on a shopping expedition and then replace as and when suits, nor is it something you just walk away from when times are bad. You form an inseparable bond with this club which stays rock solid no matter how grim things get.
Please leave this forum now and go to the one that belongs to the team you are supporting this week. You don't belong here and obviously never truly did.
I get little internet time at the moment and then have to waste it reading utter dross like that. Shame on you.
Actually, he did do a lot, he stole from the Russian state under the protection of Yeltsin and Putin. He is a massive thief and has admitted to doing things that would have him locked up elsewhere.Did nothing? Hahahahahahhaa
Joe Lewis tax dodger much better - LMFAO
Joe Lewis is actually remarkably similar to a Russian oligarch in his means of making his money and his relationship to his erstwhile home country. A smash-and-grab raid on the resources of the state in the 90's and then yachting off into luxurious exile.Actually, he did do a lot, he stole from the Russian state under the protection of Yeltsin and Putin.

Lewis - as an old man with lots of money lives somewhere warm -
You in your massive ignorance think that living somewhere warm is tax dodging
You live somewhere warm - so you are are a tax dodger as well then.
What an ignorant fool you are.
Bullshit, Lewis did nothing illegal, or he would have done jail time. He comes and goes as he pleases, because he is a British citizen and who chooses to live abroad, because he can afford to. Abramovich stole from the Russian people by obtaining shares illegally in privatised Russian energy company assets. He has even boasted about how he broke laws, and was protected by Yeltsin and now Putin.Joe Lewis is actually remarkably similar to a Russian oligarch in his means of making his money and his relationship to his erstwhile home country.

We are a global brand superclub owned by a disreputable billionaire. Get that through your heads, people. We just suck at it.
I'm reminded of the Godfather Part II line, "Senator, we're both a part of the same hypocrisy".Bullshit, Lewis did nothing illegal, or he would have done jail time.

You are as ignorant as arcspace, do some research before firing off bullshit posts.
Oh fuck off.I'm reminded of the Godfather Part II line, "Senator, we're both a part of the same hypocrisy".
Joe Lewis and Roman Abramovich are wealthy men because finance capital after the end of the Cold War was given free rein to plunder the world. Neither has ever produced anything of social value in their lives, and neither contributes in any way to the society which gave them their opportunities in life.
That the Western world gives this parasitism the imprimatur of legality as opposed to the anarchy of post-Soviet Russia is a distinction without a difference.
Lewis, Abramovich, Kroenke, Glazer, Henry, and Mansour (to name a subset in the news at the moment) all very accurately understand themselves to be peers of one another and not members of regular society, and regular society needs to wake the fuck up on that. These are dangerous and morally abhorrent people.
I wasn't wrong.He is going to run DTM close for the quickest re-banning!!
Blah blah blah. Big words make me seem knowledgeable. Fuck off you utter utter cunt. Go suck abrahamovich et Al and be where other people like you rather than despise you utterly. Fuckwit.I'm reminded of the Godfather Part II line, "Senator, we're both a part of the same hypocrisy".

Anyone who thinks Lewis and Roman are alike dose not understand the relationship with Putin. This is next level, from betting against the markets. I watched a great documentary on it made actually really glad he did not buy Spurs. There's blood aplenty.Actually, he did do a lot, he stole from the Russian state under the protection of Yeltsin and Putin. He is a massive thief and has admitted to doing things that would have him locked up elsewhere.

No disguise. See ya!Is that you John? In disguise?
Calling Abramovich morally inferior to Joe Lewis is laughable - even for you out of all Bermuda refugeesActually, he did do a lot, he stole from the Russian state under the protection of Yeltsin and Putin.
