ENIC - The Poll

[miles_64]

I know that most see this differently to me, which is cool, but I'm very much Enic not out - because I'd rather them run the club than the obvious alternative which is a petro-state or oligarch. Unfortunately the alternative to Enic is unlikely to be palatable either - for very different reasons.

Normally, I wouldn't even think about a new thread on something that's been done to death but this time it feels like a bit of a watershed moment amongst the fans.

Some people might not be happy with how the question is framed because there might be some who'd be happy for ENIC to stay, providing Levy were to be sent packing. But we have to start somewhere so here it is, kept simple. Maybe we can have another poll in a week or two.

ENIC in for me.
The main reason is who else out there that is progressive yet ethical can we attract? No entity from the Middle East thank you because of politics.
Also ENIC is an Investment arm which purchased the club and it has hands down improved its investment many fold, by acquiring land and buildings, as well as fighting the Council to support the building of the new stadium, thereby securing jobs for locals as well as advanced scholarships for students.

Levy has always said that once the self generating parts of the business are contributing to the income, this stream will be diverted to the Football Club.
So, at his word, we expect to have the Rugby, music, NFL streams all supporting funds for Paratici to upgrade his shopping basket.

So.

For now, better the Devil we know.

Don’t want to win trophies, then I don’t want you at Spurs. Time to roll the dice and hope for a 6.

hopefully when this finishes well above 80% out the “Enic ins” will accept the vast majority at the club want change.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

This is closer than I expected. ?

 

[Bing]

I think a lot more people were behind ENIC at the end of the summer transfer window - not sure what has changed in the last few months? Don't get me wrong, if this window ends without us addressing our weak areas it makes sense but if we were to get let's say Porro, Zaniolo and a CB would people still be ENIC out?

Aside from oil money blank cheques I'm not sure what more can be done...we have built a world class stadium, appointed a world class manager and we have backed him....when ENIC took over our previous five league finishes were 12, 11, 11, 14, 9.

The lack of trophies is hugely frustrating but the idea that Levy is some sort of Mike Ashley-esque incompetent running the club into the ground is just wrong. Lot's of goon fans calling for Arteta's head and their Board to go when they finished 8th a couple of seasons back.

There are 0 potential owners that are progressive and ethical, then they wouldn't be rich enough to buy a football club.

 

[cider spurs]

Out.

Beautiful stadium, but the partnership has run it's course.

 

[spursfan77]

This is closer than I expected. ?

I am bewildered that it’s not at least 95% out

[bk75]

ENIC OUT!. Time for change and some ambition.

 

[Dakes]

Lots of interesting info coming out through this pole, e.g. Over 10% of our supporters are accountants.

 

[Steffen]

Yep slim chance we’re winning more than 1 league cup in 23 years with anyone else a club our size.

I don't want to win trophies with arab oil money.

 

[BENNO]

Wow this is a massacre. Clearly Levy has fucked up too many times now.

If you run a poll on a site that is almost certainly mainly frequented by younger people , who enjoy voicing their opinions (a lot) then the results will always be pretty lopsided !

 

[McFlash]

Credit to those still clinging on to hope with ENIC, I was wearing those trousers too until recently.
Although only a few hours old, this poll is rather startling in the resounding stance of a large majority of this fanbase.

Somebody email the results to Daniel and Donna.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

I don't want to win trophies with arab oil money.

What if I told you it would come from Arab natural gas money. Would that change your mind?

Maybe we should indicate our age group together with our votes. I think you would be surprised. Maybe define 'young' in your opinion.

I have no idea of the average member age in here but I'd say that it's not "mainly frequented by younger people".
I would guess that more are above 30 than under it.
The youngsters are too busy on tiktoc and Reddit. ?

If I were to guess, I'd put an average age on here of about 40ish.

 

[Drink!Drink!]

The notion that we don’t want to be taken over by dodgy owners. Dodgy unethical money.

our dear leader of ENIC and current owner Joe Lewis. make of these shenanigans what you will
