I think it would be a f*cking amazing situation if it happened. Even if it didn't - a developing commercial relationship would be good too.I know this wishful thinking. But let me try to connect some dots.
The word in the NFL is that Jeff Bezos is looking to get a football team. We would be the perfect scenario for him:
Brand new state of the dual purpose stadium
If he were to purchase the club he would also probably negotiate for all the property in the area that the club owns
Stadium does not as of yet have naming rights, which would be huge for both and PL and NFL team
Just remember when Shahid Khan was trying to purchase Wembley, DL was pretty vocal on it being a bad idea. And Shadid Khan did kind of abruptly pull his offer off the table. Obviously because it would mean that he would be trying to move his NFL franchise over, and that would stop any other franchise from coming over.
We recently dealt with Amazon so would be well aware of the club and the setup. And NFL would easily sign off on our stadium being fit for purpose.
With the Amazon doc., having the manager with the largest profile and name recognition, and bring in the biggest marquee player we would be able to get both on the men and women's team. Our profile in the states cant be any bigger rn.
If there is one person that has the pockets to buy the club et al, aswell as pay the 1billion plus expansion fee it would be him. 2.5 billion for spurs and a billion for the expansion fee. Maybe a little over 3.5 billion for an NFL and a elite European football club, fuck it lets say 4 billion with admin cost. His return on investment would be pretty good very quickly. Especially now with the club taking on debt because of covid. Perfect time to make ENIC an offer they cant refuse.
