It *should* fall foul of any checks and balances. But we all saw how the premier league waived through the Saudi buyout of Newcastle.

Why no interest in Liverpool?

There will be plenty mate. But even Liverpool have to wait their turn when United are in play.

This. Whoever loses the Utd bid will eventually turn to Liverpool.

And that will be end of that, and we'll be stuck with ENIC unfortunately.

Never believed it from the start. Coincidence it looks over when the transfer window ends. Call me skeptical but was never happening under Levy/ENIC.

I do believe that Levy has been looking for minority investment and wouldn't be surprised if he still is.

The wrinkle is that if the PL waived this through then their case against City wouldn’t be worth the paper it’s written on frankly.

We don't need a sugar daddy, Kieran Maguire did a Twitter thread on our results yesterday and even as a Levy critic I must admit they're really impressive..

Look at the income..

Add a full season in the champions League and a stadium sponsor and we're right up there with the big boys, we can absolutely compete with 99% of teams.

I'd like him to increase the wage budget as it's still the lowest compared to revenue in the league..

If we increased this to say 55% I wonder how much help that would be to the footballing side?

The results confirm to me that as a chairman to develop the club Levy is in a league by himself, amazing what he has achieved but I think he needs help when it comes to the football side.

My takeaway is that he is a smart DOF away from doing amazing things. Paratici is good but we need someone to do a job like Edwards did at Liverpool, they used to absolutely take the piss out of Bournemouth in terms of getting huge fees for average players if we can recycle players quicker, get the Haarlands, Bellingham's etc before they get to a Dortmund then we can really start to reap rewards. Basically I'd say we need to operate far smarter and with more ambition.

The future can be so bright and we don't need an oil baron to make it happen. Amazing stuff.

Probably looking to give 5% for 2bn knowing him and his negotiating?

We used to be good at getting decent fees for players but unfortunately Stoke aren't in the premier League anymore.

? @ Man City’s ’revenue’.

 

[chas vs dave]

? @ Man City’s ’revenue’.

I actually met up with a city fan pre match on Sunday.

He was telling me that their commercial revenue was made up of lots of smaller value sponsors.

I advised him that's how money laundering works, lower value transactions that sit under the radar.

Might need to be careful with the term money laundering. I think by definition, money laundering involves money from criminal activities. If that was the case, then more than just the Premier League would be involved.
As far as i know, Pep is not running a drugs cartel, although he does have mood swings like a drug kingpin.

 

[AssaTM]

I don't think there has ever been any doubt with the new stadium we would generate massive amounts of money, it's entirely at the feet of Daniel Levy and ENIC as to what we do with it and that's where the problem lies...

When people talk about having a new owner it has never been about the financial stability of the club, that is second to none from a sustainability perspective it is literally and entirely down to on the field investment which is why it's even more baffling because we clearly can invest in the team while maintaining that financial stability and that's where the head against the brick wall feeling comes from as Spurs fan, we have everything available within our possession yet the powers that be just refuse to do anything with it, except until they do it in a scattershot and panicked approach

It is actually mind boggling in all honesty

I should reiterate, I'm not accusing them of breaking laws, just rules within football.

If I am not mistaken there was ITK recently that Levy stepped away initially when Paratici arrived but had started to meddle again
