Mate, you know full well how this goes.
Indeed he knew this was coming. The timing is at best " curious ".

You don't need to have Zuckerberg's name on a document to know its Meta. Reputational damage.

Of course, we will be connected, my point was Lewis new he was fucked a long time ago and started trying to protect whatever assests he could.

Sure way when he made his millions he was known to have something dodgy with the value of the pound. Can quite remember the ins and outs of it, it was called Black Wednesday. Lewis bet on the value of the pound dropping.

For example?

Show me a person that can afford to buy our club that won't have skeletons in their closet.

Im not advocating for ENIC to stay, I'm just wondering who you would deem a decent enough human being with integrity that has the wealth to buy a football club.

If you just want the money that's fine, but lets at least be honest about it

This lot are the worst kind of wealthy speculators. Untrustworthy criminals, yet still don’t inject any of their own ill gotten gains. I’ve put more of my own money into the club than the toxic twins

You're entitled to your opinion ... I don't think there is a worse kind of wealthy speculator than another but I certainly don't think they are the most morally corrupt owners in the prem.

So who would you like to see running the club?

Anyone as long as they put in a lot of money?

From your linked article.

A Tottenham Hotspur spokesperson said in a statement: "This is a legal matter unconnected with the club and as such we have no comment."

Allegations against Mr Lewis were laid out in a video statement posted to Mr Williams' Twitter. A formal written statement, known as an indictment, is yet to be released.

"We allege that, for years, Joe Lewis abused his access to corporate board rooms and repeatedly provided inside information to his romantic partners, his personal assistants, his private pilots, and his friends," Mr Williams said in the video.

Mr Williams, the chief federal law enforcement officer for the SDNY, alleged that Mr Lewis's acquaintances used that information to make millions of dollars in the stock market.

"Thanks to [Mr] Lewis, those bets were a sure thing," he claimed.

Mr Lewis is reported to be one of Britain's richest men. He owns hundreds of assets, including Premier League London club Tottenham Hotspur which he bought from Sir Alan Sugar in 2001 for £22m.

How was he protecting his assets? The law nowadays will confiscate even proteted.

He was "protecting" because he was getting old, that's what old rich people do, transfer asset to family members as gifts, trusts....etc.
