Takeover talk

[dagraham]

Correct me if wrong but as a listed company surely we have to announce any potential takeover quite quickly because it can have an influence on the price. So if rumours persist tottenham will have to release as statement as per below

Tottenham deny engaging in takeover talks

Tottenham say they are not in takeover talks amid claims a potential buyer backed by Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg could be prepping a £1 billion bid.

That would be correct, but as far as I know we de-listed and became a private company a few years ago so there would be no obligation to.

Not sure how Jose will react when Google give him an Android phone and say there's your Google Assistant manager.

Enic took us private years ago.

 

[Lilbaz]

We get these rumours every transfer window.
Will wait and see.

I have been a massive supporter of Levy and ENIC and what they have developed, however, they massively fcuked up with the transfer Windows and now we going to have the best stadium in Europa League if we lucky.

Time for Levy and ENIC to go, unless someone can pin this on to Poch.

Save us, Google. You're our only hope

With Spurs, even if we had The Force, it would stop working.

Yup, be injured within a week.

Then make a bid worthy of ENIC entertaining.

These aren't the droids you're looking for.

The way to make a small fortune
by investing in a football club

is to start with a large fortune

It's as easy as ABC.

You only make money from football
by not spending any.

Normally I'd agree but there is one obvious exception to the rule - ENIC.

I can't recall their original investment but I think it was around £30m for a 29.9% stake. They then bought out Alan Sugar for around £18m, and underwrote the Preference Share issue to the tune of around £30m. Leaving them with 85% of the shares for an investment of £80m or so.

That £80m investment is now worth around £1.5billion. Not a bad return.

I'm starting to think that Levy fella doesn't deserve the unbridled adulation I've heaped on him over the years

If only Pochettino was finally backed properly this summer which the guy practically begged Levy for, both in terms of buying and selling, after obediently net spending fuck all on players for 5 years!!! we could have been flying this season!!!! instead of being in this fucking mess !!!!! ??????

If only Pochettino was finally backed properly this summer with his targets - Ndombele, Sessegnon, Clarke and Lo Celso.

OH WAIT.... ??????

Yes you’re right. 2 senior signings across 3 windows constitutes backing ???

1. 3 senior signings
2. So he was backed
3. He was backed in one window and "not backed" in January 2019 because he wanted to be backed with his targets - not Tielemans etc

Oh my god! After 18 months of nothing we signed 3! players! 2 of whom in the last day of the window! Give dear leader a medal!

 

[For the love of Spurs]

Those signings where 2-3 years to late. By this stage we needed 6-7 signings and about 4-5 sold.

Im starting to think that it’s not possible to run a business that ordinary people feel very strongly about for two decades in a way that satisfies everyone.
