Management Qatar holds Spurs talks

[Tomo]

In order to broker peace between the French and the English I offer this:

Both nations may go back to their usual business of hating us now.

Holy shit, a few Spurs fans have joked that if we got Qatar investment the FA etc would suddenly find a backbone regarding money being pumped into clubs.

They'd actually come for us if little old Tottenham got a slice of the pie, wouldn't they?

Most likely they would. It’s the Spurs way. All suddenly change their mind.

If this would ever happen, you just KNOW Spurs would be the first sportswashing team to be severely sanctioned by FFP

We can point out we voluntarily served the transfer ban in 2018, and sell the golf course to pay the fines. Easy.

The league currently includes two other gulf states, a holding company connected to the Chinese state, a man who made his initial fortune in pornography, online gambling moguls, a taxfree empire, multiple venture capitalists and a suspected drug baron.

Another sovereign wealth fund would be just up the league's street.... As long as it isn't investing in Spurs. Can't have that now can we?

And...no problem with a company that has stolen everyone's data and sold it to advertisers to put their name on the stadium.

Yup. The league itself is inherently corrupt and shady.

Harry Redknapp was not far off when he said that they would let Saddam Hussein buy a club if he could front the money.

That's such a sad factor in all of this. The only thing that we as fans protesting a potential buy in by QSI have is the moral standpoint. Which considering how the rest of the league is owned stands hollow. There's nothing in the rules and regulations of the league that says that they cannot buy a stake. Just multiple existing examples of precedence for why they should be able to.

The league is like 20 years too late on taking a stand without having to oust multiple existing owners. Which they won't do.

If and when Spurs are more financially powerful than Man United I fucking guarantee that cockwomble Neville will be sent out by Skychester United on a non stop attack.
Even Carragher might get some airtime

The Sheik tells the negotiator "we want to buy into man Man Utd or Liverpool but first I want you to learn from a master negotiator. Go to Tottenham and tell levy we want in, and take my one legged chicken with you for luck. Remember buy nothing"

One week later the negotiator returns and proclaims "I've done it!" The sheik says man u or pool?

The negotiator says neither but I've agreed terms with levy.

You fn what! What have you done! Cried the sheik, and where is my chicken?

The negotiator tells him how he wrangled for days over the level of investment and when levy finally conceded to a parking space he handed over 1 billion.

You what, how could you! A fn parking space?

Ah the negotiator says, here is the best bit, levy agreed to also give us the disabled sticker for the parking space! and I managed to persuade him to buy the one legged chicken for 900m!

900m for a one legged chicken, wtf asked the sheik.

Well you know how conte wants a new right back....

Typing all that definitely wasn't a waste of time.

Qatar interest in Tottenham should be ‘wake-up call’, Premier League warned

A meeting between Daniel Levy and Qatar Sports Investments chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi took place last week

www.independent.co.uk

"Okay gang. I know that we have allowed Russians to buy Chelsea, Abu Dabi to buy City and Saudi Arabia to buy Newcastle. All of that is okay. But we absolutely cannot allow Spurs to get oil money as well. That's just immoral!"

Not taking a stance in the should we/should we not be bought discussion. But it fucking hilarious that they've allowed other clubs to be bought up. But we would be a step too far.

Would be peak Spurs if the Qataris did try to buy us and the EPL blocked it.

I don't think the EPL would dream of that after allowing the Saudi's in at the Toon. That was the moment and was for a controlling stake, this is a minority stake.

In a legal sense, probably the 'fit and proper' test should have been applied and prevented Roman Abramovic from taking Chelsea, from that point it has been a free for all.

Regardless of who buys in or their motives, money involved could well not go on playing staff, it could just be ENIC getting some return on their investment, which is their right.

If, as a club, we do become rich, it still means we'd have to spend the money right, that's a much more difficult challenge than it sounds.

I suppose my point is, no matter what happens with QSI, ENIC or a potential unknown investor, there are no easy answers.

 

[John Thomas]

Unfortunately we won't, be able to do it the so called right way.
Throughout the history of football, the clubs with the most money generally win the most cannot be coincidental.

Click to shrink...

Doing it the right way was always a load of sanctimonious bollocks.

More like doing it the CHEAP way.
Investing the absolute bare minimum needed to keep the squad competitive while maintaining annual profits and exponentially increasing the value of their asset.

Yes. The ENIC way = the CHEAP way

Guys. You know what's interesting but not really been even speculated about. The so called 'other parties' Spurs have had talks with. If you think about it the 25% steak has been valued at 1bn which prices the club at 4bn. Now we know that we have spoken to QSI at least twice (I was told its four times by the way) we must have been 'negotiating' for the better part of a year with multiple parties.

From what I hear there are at least two other potential minority investors. Now with the sums mentioned these other parties must have very deep pockets which means they too are State backed entities or two of only a handful of individuals. I think we could potentially work out some of the options.

With the money clubs in the league now, if it happened and we got cockblocked, that would be it for me. Proof football is bent and it's not a fair fight. I would hands down give up and I'd stop watching.

The flood gates have been open since Chelsea 20 years ago. You don't now decide to stop anymore water coming in.
If they kicked all the other money out I would understand. If they really hit FFP hard and level the playing field, I could cope.
