Good morning.
Four hundred and fifty million quid is the figure being bandied about. Philip Anschutz of AEG it is suggested is prepared to buy the controlling stake in Spurs. From The Express.
Nigh on twice the figure of the Liverpool sale. But aside from being at least twice the club, Tottenham come to market in rather good fiscal shape and not on their bindipping knees.
Why would this happen? Well we can only guess really. ENIC are perhaps reaching a crossroads whereby their investment is coming to the end of one chapter and about to commence upon another. They are after all an investment company and if they don’t trade now, attempting to do so later one might argue would at best cause confusion. At worst look like they were bailing, no matter what the books said.
Anschutz’s form in the field is nothing shy of excellent of course. Not just a leading light but a driving force behind the MLS this is a guy who appears to have combined business acumen with a legitimate passion for the game. AEG owns LA Galaxy and Houston Dynamo. The potential synergies between AEG and THFC are pretty breathtaking. AEG’s wiki page.
What mustn’t be negotiable in any of this is the retention of Levy & Co. If AEG wanted to buy in talent and experience for the road ahead it’s inconceivable to suggest a better candidate.
Football clubs are generally run by a selection of idiots that nearly defy description. Bent second hand car salesmen, white slave traders, costamongers, devil worshipers and money launderers.
An owner who has real ambition and an interest in the game, rather than an owner who is only interested in keeping the goose just fat enough for Christmas is most welcome. BIOYC!
True colours shown at last-hoisted by one’s own petard,suddenly springs to mind ;-)
Pretentious a-hole trying to crowbar in some Shakespeare to show how clever he isn’t, springs to mind. ;-)
Methinks Dot Cotton doth moan too much ;-)
Hamlet, he’s more like a little lost pup always looking for some attention. Even when you ignore him, he follows you around.
Told ya, you post-I’ll reply, it’s not a problem, I just love highlighting your stupidity ;-)

All of the above seem to have been involved in Rangers this season.
Ah, but my money’s on LOTW Cabs runnin’ them all there from the airport mate 8O !!!
Super Rich.
Super Smart.
Super Spurs.
Talk is cheap I know, but it looks as if our on and off field antics are attracting the right kind of attention at least.
As long as baldhead slick stays (mr Levy) AEG seem good at big events watching Spurs play is a big event.

You’re right, we should start an online petition against this deal at once :shifty: ;-)
