It’s step 1 of a full blown takeover. One of my biggest criticisms of Levy was his inability to get Lewis to invest, nor sell a minority stake to generate funds. This is a good outcome if true

What’s 20% of 3-4BN? It’s a proper war chest
also maybe he sees a prem team as a better investment for the long term then psg
They’d start with a small stake then eventually buy everyone out
I’m conflicted, don’t want the club to be involved with cunts like this but also understand it’s the only way to stay at the top nowadays and everyone else is doing it so why not join the fucking party

All Billionaires have done something dodgy to get that sort of money
Football was ruined a long time ago might aswell join in

Without the European super league the prem is becoming the next best thing. Pretty much all the big name managers here, most of the big name players, all prem clubs can outspend 95% of European ones. If you want to invest in football its the only place to be really.
Well we either, accept it as progress, or stay on the outside looking in like the proverbial fat boy and the sweet shop.
with newcastle now we have to join in
If & that is a huge if , this happens . I see it as permanent naming rights for the stadium first , with some ridiculous amount , eventually sponsorship on shirt & I hope it goes towards the building of the squad & not property.
I’ll believe it when I see it

Maybe they've seen our latest poll on the issue and it's got their juices flowing a bit.
Qatar Airways?
I imagine there’s a very good chance that your recent poll was the main topic of conversation between Levy and the Qatari delegation.Maybe they've seen our latest poll on the issue and it's got their juices flowing a bit.
It's only way now to compete with the very best.
For those who are concerned with the moral compass and all that, I can confirm that only football and NFL football will happen on the pitch.
So can say with confidence that NO executions will take place on the pitch daily or before games, so should make those people happy.
Point 1 - If history is any guide - pretty good chance that Levy negotiates too hard and sinks the deal.
Point 2 - My understanding is that the Qataris are properly anti-Semitic (unlike Abu Dhabi (and Dubai) who have established official diplomatic relations with Israel). Remember reading about a Qatar controversy regarding anti-Semitism in their official school textbooks a couple of years back - assuming this isn’t some isolated incident. I’m not Jewish but given the history of our club, I’m not sure if I’m ok with this - leaving the footballing implications aside for a minute ….

A bit far fetched to say it was the main topic but I'm sure it would have been brought up at some point
I’ve no idea , I’m sure they’re linked to other companies
Qatari Energy has the nicest logo ( no red )
Mayhoola for investments
point 1 crossed my mind straight away. Levy will want billions for a 10% ownership
Depends if any of the money goes towards improving the squad. It may not, we may get dodgy ownership and have little benefit.
It would be very Spurs to be a sportwashing exercise with no investment in the playing squad but I can envision it.
