A few short years ago, I'd have been firmly in the "no' camp. Now, I'd accept it, albeit with a heavy heart.
The whole game is awash with wealth of questionable origin and it's pure doublethink, in my view, to criticise clubs that are funded in this way whilst at the same time insisting they pay us inflated fees for our players.
It was just a few months ago we were all demanding City pay £150m for Kane. Using their money to fund a rebuild isn't really that different in principle to having a similar type of owner.

Define not accepting a Saudi takeover- abandoning the club entirely? Or moaning on TFC? Or something else?
Our current owners are quite disgusting anyway, . Ideally we want a new owner better than the current ones or the saudis or the russian mafia or israelis or chinese , but in the absence of that, anyone who is willing to back the club properly is welcome
I voted yes, because I know that whoever owns Spurs, I will always be a Spurs fan. I wouldn't just not care about the club anymore, I'm too far gone.
This thread is profoundly depressing.
Yes 100%
Which sort of begs the hypothetical question, would you accept a billionaire Fred West as our new owner?
Because Winning Things is all that matters, right?
Nice owners with a spare millions to put into the club don't exist,because nice people don't become billionaires.
It's just different levels of nastiness

The owners aren’t the club, folks
I think I'm losing my enthusiasm for football in general. Had this happened I'd probs have lost almost all interest.
Bollocks ,
your insane
I would cut the head of any journalist they chose to push it through too!
How could you say such a thing?
It's "head off" not "head of".
Jokes aside,if we want an owner that's going to make us compete and not tread water like we are at the moment,we are going to have to accept someone we don't like much. Sad but true
I answered No because I don’t see this answer to mean I can’t still support the club. “not Accepting the owner” could have many different guises.
I would be thoroughly unhappy if anyone bought my club and funded its transfer budget out of their personal wealth. And that applies whether that party is a saint such as Bill Gates or a thoroughly unpleasant regime such as the Saudis. I struggle to see how the Chavs or City fans can feel it’s still their club in the same way we do about Spurs when they are funded as a billionaires plaything.
