Hypothetically if our one and only goal was to win everything and we were owned by a Saudi investment fund and kept Levy at the helm. How do you think we would do?

I think we’d be one of the most successful clubs in footballing history.

Interested to hear others opinions

Mehrdad and I are keen to be hands-on. We’re hard-working people, I love to be very busy and to engage and I love football. Very sadly, we have to move on to other projects and that might involve us taking a stake in another club or buying another club and that’s difficult. But it’s possible.”

How much control would Levy/ENIC give up ?
Nothing for less than a 51% stake I would have thought.

Leopard and spots, don’t think levy can let go of the football/understand how to invest correctly, on something that seems to be intangible to him.

He’s 87 and hardly needs the money, so why the desperate need to sell. His trust will decide on any sale surely

The trust have had full control of the shares Lewis held since before his court case, so it'll be them that wants to sell rather than Lewis.

I really do hope not!

Wow, great long read.

So, basically if you don't have the time to read it all...

Staveley first, literally, went to bed with Prince Andrew then moved onto relationships more business like with wonderful fellows like Colonel Gaddafi's son, Thaksin Shinawatra, various members of the royal families of arch enemies Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and others fueling carnage in Yemen and Iraq.
Meantime she sympathized with the predicament of poor old Roman Abramovich, but managed to really annoy Mike Ashley and a Greek shipping magnate she borrowed heavily from and even upset Unai Emery through her notorious indiscretions and love of tipping off the press.
Football wise she supported Man City, but then decided she rather liked Liverpool before falling in love with Newcastle. Now that amicable but sad divorce has gone through she'd quite like to support another team, but as in her business relationships she appears to be still pining a bit for her last 'true' love.

Bit sad that for a club like Spurs with the finest stadium and some of the best training facilities of any club can only be of interest to investors like Staveley, are Levy/ENIC making it too difficult to get investors ?

I do wonder if we are in too good condition. Man City were a bit of a basket case with a free stadium, Newcastle were a mess with an aging stadium and very little success. Chelsea way back when were almost bankrupt.

Maybe Levy and co have already made all the improvements an investor would need in order to make money out of it?

I think this is it, a full buyout is rumoured to be £4bn, apart from us becoming winners is there that much that can be improved on? Training ground and stadium are top quality, I imagine the commercial side is in pretty good shape.

For a 4bn investment I don’t think there’s a high ceiling for investment, which is probably why Middle East investors who’s main priority isn’t ROI are the main parties interested.
