If we present mbappe in two years time will you give a fuck ?
One can obviously take a stand against one perceived wrong whilst still taking part in the hypocrisy of western society (i.e owning a smart phone and shopping at h&m)Nope; still dumb.....
............You're a stranger to my views on sports-washers taking over?
random Woolwich fan on arse mania:
"Will stop following english football if Sp**s becomes an oil club. Seriously."
this is what i want to see and hear if this goes through.
That should help make the mind up of the 15% who, uhmm, can't make their mind up. Surely
their forum meltdowns and aftv alone will be worth it
I don’t know you mate so how would I ?
People say this - well it's surely time to sell up and make their profit.
At the moment it's a complete oxymoron, either they staying for the money or the they need to sell up to make the money but they won't sell up as there's too much money to be made.
Daniel Levy is 61 in a few weeks. Joe Lewis is 86 before Levy is 61
At this rate, they'll never see their investment pay off. Usually you expect investment companies to either buy and sell quickly, or negotiate a share of the profits.
It seems people believe ENIC do neither.
Cos its been the most prevalent topic on this forum in the 6 years I've been here.
It's not a wild concept to have accumulated an understanding of some posters viewpoints along the way.........
Well good for you but I have my principles and if we acquire investment that means ridiculously lofty expectations and a complete loss of reality then I will dip out of active interest.
The game is being run and ruined, not by wealth but a desire for power, going straight to the hearts of the weak and those who fail to see the bigger picture.
A rich person's toy and fans falling at their feet as though genuflecting at the feet of a god.
Every single fcuking day of every single fcuking year I would rather a wage cap, balanced competition and disappointment than what the PL is becoming and what we may soon be part of.
Utterly disgusting.

Yeah, the ESL was an indicator for all of us. We'd probably have accepted it, because it was survival vs abandonment to become a feeder club.
A cash injection is an obvious solution to current issues. I'd be interested to know a few things, though:
What does their involvement even mean? Would they be on the board?
Who else is interested and how much are all parties offering?
If it's the QSI, I'd want £500m for a seat on the board, but if it's just a warmongering sex-trafficker, then £350m should do it.
minority stake meaning not enough shares to control the club because it's illegal to do so since they own PSG.
but still enough to own a significant piece of the pie , and quite possibly more at later date when they get hungry for that sweet chick-king action
25% is probably enough to be able to tell Baldy what he needs to do if he wants to see more of the dosh in the future.
What do you mean believe? The accounts are public. Read them.
Plenty of wealthy people work late into their lives because they enjoy it and want to provide for their family. ENIC 100% bought purely as an investment but with reports recently that Levy wants to stay as chairman even if he sells he club, I'd say he now views the club as his life's work.
The Shard got built when you were a child? That's a n odd one Airfixx.Most of the Qatari cash has been injected into our eco system in the last 15 years. I genuinely think that you can do what you wish but thousands of houses are being built in England with Qatari cash today, and the silence on this is deafening. They own: shops hospitals airports banks and schools, all of which I know you use. But eleven men kicking a ball is some how a wedge, and a shocking bridge too far
I've said this before about football but it's strange the emotional heft it has in the minds of some people. Hospitals homes and banks are far more intrinsic to civil society, but folk are squeamish about a game. It should be 100% lower in our list of what should not be invested in than the things I've named. Football should be fine the rest of it forbidden.
Let me be clear because I wasn't actually sure what I felt one way or another until I began writing. It's done its already happened and a minority holding in Spurs will not change anything. Am I culpable because I use Heathrow and Sainsburys...by the 'not Spurs' Pearl clutching yeah probably.
This is capitalism folks. And it's odd that we live in a world where everything from LGBT and labour laws gets critiqued through the prisms of Association Football. So I suppose capitalism must suffer this odd dissection too.
Good luck to you

I'll genuinely miss your involvement here if this happens, but I think you are being a bit silly as it already has, as any deep dive on Joe Lewis and Patagonia will show. Or where these issues ( widely discussed about our current owners) not enough to shift your ( clearly highly developed) moral compass? Tell you what you shouldn't even wait for the Qatari's to turn up.How Joe Lewis stole a piece of Patagonia for himself
Local communities have been fighting for 17 years against the ‘parallel state’ of British billionaire Joe Lewis, who has cut off access to public lands with his illicit property.
As I said very selective. ..
