Sure, but then the person who did cock it up would be sent to Qatar to build stadiums

If the club was bought, the new owner could put any investment into the stadium build, releasing funds from gate receipts, tv money etc to be put into players. We're in a fairly unique position in that respect, plus FFP is measured over a number of seasons, iirc, the last few have seen us cash positive so we have a bit of a buffer I believe.
I think we would have a lot of scope considering we have a net positive spend every year currently

The stadium is going to be named something like that regardless of a takeover, so you'd better get used to it!

Not at the time I'm sure, and other's never will, neither will new fans care, but there will be many I've no doubt who do feel it's a bit hollow. the truth in life is you need the bitter to enjoy the sweet, and the sweet is thatmuch sweeter if you've worked for it. Basically whatever they were before these days Chelsea and City fans are the Trustifarians of the football world, and plenty of them know it!

They can call it what they like. As long as I have been a Spurs fan, 50 plus years, and counting, it's always been 'The Lane' to me, while I breathe it always will remain so.

Not true. You don't think we could spend more than we do now?

Mixed feelings on this. A big part of me is "enjoying" the current drama with Pochettino and the team, can he get right? etc.
A new mega owner would I believe sadly diminish my overall interest in Spurs. I'm very involved in and truly interested to see what the current setup can achieve.
I dont enjoy smooth always winning teams I'm a Spurs fan its just not right!
If ever did happen I'd probably pay a little bit more attention to 'The Mighty Eagles' where I used to go in the 70's and 80's.
I will always be Spurs..but a little less interest/involvement. IF it ever happens......which I truly doubt

yes please.
Its not even as if its an unfair advantage as it would at best put us on comparative clout as at least 2 teams in our league. We either accept we are just happy to exist on the fringes of the big time or actually accept that this is the only way to get a seat at the top table.
we cant earn our way to the top. Its simply not possible, for anything other than the rarest excursion.
I dont buy that selling our soul, no satisfation argument. West Ham fans will get plenty of satisfaction lording it over us and competing with Real and Barca if they are the recipients of a mega bid instead(which with the olympic stadium and london home is perhaps just as feasible). Think about that.

Joe Lewis is no saint
He made hundreds of millions on black Monday when he bet against the currency of this country, interest rates shot up from something like 5% to 17.5% in a day, causing untold misery to millions of mortgage payers, so ANY billionaire is a **** at heart, there is no such thing as a nice billionaire so just give me a billionaire that wants to make us winners
