Tbh, I was surprised when Joe Lewis was mentioned.
It's not like he's been a sugar-daddy for us in the past. I always thought he was happy to sit back and let THFC run itself in a sustainable way.
Bit of a strange one if Poch thinks he can force his hand, although perhaps he knows something we don't.

Cheers Greek God aka Hercules!!!!
Re : Bale , his team have done excellent for him financially and he has a position of power with the money Real have to pay for some yrs to come, almost betting on him finishing his career at Real. As for a move and especially to us, in football terms it can be a reality money wise, defo not and not becuase its us Tottenham, i could not even see Man city wanting him due to the financial implications

hell no to bale for me. i dont want him anywhere near our players. its like an ex who cheated an left us albeit with a richer guy, but still a huge no. who knows what will he say when people ask him hows madrid like? if he says " nah dont go, stay here" of course that would be good. but what if he says " well i won trophies, it was amazing playing in bernabeu, oh my favourite food, the women are insane blah blah blah".
i dont want to take any chance.
2ndly it changes the unity of the locker room. who is the bigger dog in the locker room now? i dont see the point of risking everything we've built for an injury prone post prime overpaid player

Actually Hercules is Roman, the Greek equivalent would be Heracles.

Thought this was a case a while back tbh judging by Barce's Sporting Director's comments. Thanks for confirming though,

IIRC Raiola isn’t his main agent, he brought him on last summer as a sort of fixer.

Barca just bought Griezmann for 125M as well. They are fucking mad. What is it now, the 5th 100m+ purchase in the past 2-3 transfer windows? I can really see Madrid sweating a bit over the purchases Barcelona are doing in De Jong/Griez/De Ligt, they might actually try to offload Bale at any cost possible just to match Barcelona in some sort of galactico signing. I think Mbappe or Neymar to Madrid will drag on a lot this summer.

The 3 months ban, assuming the start date was a couple of days ago, when the news broke, would prevent transfers involving English based players. However the EU countries have their transfer window ending later than ours.
One player I think would be immense for us = no chance of happening
So we aim for small time players only? The best players in the world, the ones that make a real difference generally have an ego. If we want to dine at a the top table with top players then we have to play that game otherwise the best we’ll hope for is top 4 with the occasional final.
If Bale is available and doable we would be crazy to not look at it closely unless we want to just be also-rans for ever and ever.

I don't think having the funds is ever in doubt, it's the 'getting-it-over-the-line' that always seems to be the problem.
