Why do people give any credence to unsubstantiated quotes from 'sources' is anyone's guess.

Much like when you get individuals like Aulas stating "X isn't for sale or going anywhere" you know there's more afoot.

It's poker face time and negotiations galore so let's see what pans out as opposed to living through media outlets as if its gospel.

Because that's how it works. In sport but also in politics. Interested actors will leak information without wanting to make an official statement for all sorts of reasons. To think otherwise is ignorant to how the industry works.

Someone from the tottenham camp, or closely related to it, is saying that this isn't happening (at least not yet). The question isn't if the source is reliable (with the way its being reported it most certainly is) but what the motivation to share such information is and what that information really means.

The original (and most reliable) report says they are 'preparing' a bid. Which we can assume means a bid hasn't been made, still, all of that requires salt.

And anything embellishing that requires even more salt.

Serious bidders do not leak intentions. These lads let it get out regarding Everton discussions and now supposedly being interested in us. If you are spending 3bn+ on an asset you don't leak stuff to the press.
Unfortunately reckon they're nothing more than tyre kickers

I can’t imagine levy would ever agree a deal. He’ll always want that bit more go back to them after agreeing stating he wants a bit more. We’ll be forever in limbo not spending any money as we’re negotiating a deal etc

I wouldn't be sure about that. Levy's model of investment is capital appreciation. In order for the investment to be realised he has to sell; otherwise it's just a paper value and not money in his pocket. He will also know that, attractive proposition that we are, there are very few people in the world who can afford to buy us. So if a serious bidder comes along, he will listen - and, for once, I can't imagine that he would jeopardize an entire deal (which would make him a huge amount of money) for just a little more, when the risk of having to wait a whole lot longer until another serious buyer came along would be there. Who knows, let's see.

Perhaps Jahm Najafi is still actually interested in a minority stake in Everton. Suits them to have the FT story out to make their negotiations easier. Helps Tottenham, who may be angling for better terms with QSI. At this level, they’re all fuckers aren’t they? When money is the name of the game, a few phone calls behind the scenes to get some movement all round and everybody’s happy.

But then, Levy did appoint Nuno so I don’t know what to think.

Not exactly- he and his backers would buy 70%, and Abu Dhabi investors would own 30%

It's good it's a split though. If it ever happens ? because neither of them presumably would want their investment to be a mediocrity and would push each other (especially Abu Dhabi) to splash the cash for us to be in Champions League at the very least.

I think some may get more vocal if they know there’s a willing buyer and enic don’t sell up.

Let's hope so, and before the opportunity is gone. Hoping to hear LEVY OUT, ENIC OUT chanting this Sunday against Waste Ham.

FT have kept their story going - its on the front cover of tomorrow's (Thursday's) print edition, more than 12 hours after they broke it. Clearly still highly confident of their sources.

Confidently predict negotiations will collapse when Levy tries to add 400m to the price for stadium naming rights he’s failed to land for years.

What would happen to my 100 shares?

You would receive c £1200.

Anyone who purchased the ENIC shares would be required to offer minority shareholders similar terms. They will be allowed to purchase 100% of the share capital.

Something to do with reassuring investors talking about a partial sale?

Whenever I was involved in Mergers & Acquisitions, there was always a NDA in place whilst due diligence was carried out, I wouldn't expect to here anything from the club until a bid is accepted or rejected,
