Tottenham Takeover Talk

[Trix]

Absolutely not BUT didn’t Citeh and Chelski get bought Sheiks/Abramovich really quickly?!

Who knows how long it took, was relatively quick from the time we heard about it, but that doesn't mean they weren't talking for ages first.

I'd also imagine a straight up full sale would be easier and quicker to do than a big money percentage of the club.

What is the QSI motto?
I have a hunch but I'm just not sure

To Dare is to Doha?

To Dare is to Doha?

Not sure why everyone is in here, Levy is conducting the negotiations, so we have at least one more window of "We tried" and another window of "next window we will sort it" and a final window of "there will be better options the next window" before this gets anywhere near being resolved and we then wind up with investment from Doris the tea lady and her tips jar.

full takeover would be due diligence, price negotiation, legal and that is it, even with the sums involved could be done quite quickly,
Large stake Minority investment needs all of the above but also ongoing relationship (operational and financial) negotiated and documented, and is lot harder to agree.
And this is where issues could arise between supporters/club even after investment anyway.. Typically minority investors just want business to continue and use their money to grow profits faster, and in return make a good return on investment, if that is all QSI want, we could be in for a shock as having only ME investment that isn’t necessarily after sporting success, but financial success as priority.
However hope is QSI agree terms of investment where significant on-field investment is guaranteed for many years, even if profits take a hit, so against current culture of club.

Opened the thread earlier and this scared the **** out if me…

We are constantly told football is more of a business than sport anymore to justify ENICs reign as a success. On that basis, investment and/or takeover talks are happening all of the time. They happen in secrecy, probably with legally binding NDAs in place signed by the interested parties. It is unusual for anyone to leak anything as it isn’t in any parties interest. Much due diligence is done by the new investor before a final decision is reached. The due diligence will show up any red flags, maybe it is those that are being thrashed out? Ideally no one would have been the wiser until all was signed and agreed, however somebody leaked something to the press. Their motive? Deflect the growing pressure on DL/ENIC or the Qataris trying to force the issue? We don’t know but in summary we shouldn’t read anything into the delay between the leak and a conclusion.

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

Are ENIC a victim of their own success by developing a proposition (THFC), which based on their current valuation restricts potential buyers to a very small minority.

In hindsight, maybe they should have sold up before embarking on the building of new stadium and taken £500m +, which even at that price makes for tidy profit on their initial outlay. I'm sure they would have had plenty of interested parties to buy the club within this price range.

I said earlier in the thread I'd go a lot lower than the Qataris to get shot of Levy but not that fucking low!

 

[E17yid]

I think it’s ok to want the Qataris to take over but I draw the line at people getting on their knees and begging for these *****.

I think if QSI do come in, it’s for a minority share with the intention for a full takeover in due course once they’ve disposed of their controlling interest in PSG. (We don’t even know if they need to do that anyway). I don’t see the point in a minority chunk just to sit in the background. If they want a proportion then they’ll go for the whole eventually.
