Considering the recent sales of professional sport organizations, this is not so nuts. The NFL's Buffalo Bills were just sold for $1.4billion. The NBA's Los Angeles Clippers, historically LA's "2nd rate" NBA franchise, was just sold for $2 billion. And the MLB's LA Dodgers was sold for $2 billion anout 2 or 3 years ago(probably would have gone for $3 billion today).

Given those sports dont have the global appeal of soccer, $1.62 billion(£1 billion) does not sound that nuts at all.
I would say an investor would be looking at paying 5x current revenue, whatever that is?

the person that basically said the club lied when they said Bale would not be sold did not take into account that the club not only did not want to sell but did everything possible to stop a sale but once a player indeed any player decides he wants out there is nothing a club can do as in Ronaldo to Madrid ;Suarez to Barcelona ; Neymar to PSG;Bale to Madrid once a player decides he wants out there is little a club can do because if a club does not take the best offer they can get the player can wait a season or two and leave on a Bosman.If they are on a longer contract you cannot rely on a player who wants out giving his all so I say that not only Spurs but Man Unt andLiverpool Barcelona all intended not to sell but were in fact forced to sell so they were not lying but perhaps being unrealistic because in the day and age of the likes of Abramovich also the country that owns Man City and the Country that owns PSG normal rules do not apply because there wealth outstrips Man Unt;Barcelona;Liverpool added together let alone Spurs who come bottom of this particular food chain.I say again when the club said there was no way they would sell Bale they meant it but money overcomes anything in the normal football world

Punctuation overcomes anything in the written word...

Good god man, at least add a few paragraphs! I must’ve re-read that post 4 times! :bored:

Carolina Panthers (NFL) was just sold for $2.25 billion or about £1.6 billion. I can see Spurs going for around that rate.

In all seriousness - I would think that Lewis would laugh a billion out of the room.
If some one wanted to buy the club outright they would have to buy all assets (and debts)
Stadium
Brand
Playing staff
All employees
Shops
Merchandise
Just the first three would easily exceed a billion now meaning where's the incentive to sell?

In all seriousness this thread was from 2014 and bumped for no reason.

You cost @tototoner a grand by bumping it potentially.
He still has until our first home game to get ENIC to sell up

just hope he hasn't saved that grand for a ST, as with the prices he might struggle to honour SC in order to purchase a ticket to the ENIC stadium (only named to remind him of the owners)

Being as I am admitting I am not well educated does that bar me from stating my opinion because I am not as clever as you.Also I feel that anyone that goes around the net correcting and deriding some other grammar needs to get a life and is a smug twat.I got an idea lets have an English test and only those who pass are allowed to post comments

It’s an ongoing SC joke, mate. Definitely nothing personal!

You should see the sentence structure of some of our ITKs, they may as well have carved their info onto stone!

Don’t think it is anything personal mate.

Would advise you to put in spaces after every one or two sentences.

A long block of text is difficult to read online.

No point in you writing a long post then put into a format that is unreadable.

I suggest that if you can't understand what I am posting it is better that you ignore me ;being as I am 75 years of age I am unlikely to improve my grammar.Correct grammar does not prove your opinion is worse or better than an ignoramus like me

West Ham fans don’t have the money to chip in, they will love the idea though.

Well it is personal, if I went round calling people fat in the street who I didn’t know I am sure they would find it hilarious. Or how about polishing men’s heads who where bald. So why are people dicks about punctuation and spelling when dyslexia is a common problem, people brains work differently that still have a valid option!

How on earth does that relate to what I said?

I didn't say a single thing about anyone's spelling or grammar.

I merely advised that reading a long text online is difficult. So adding in a few spaces inbetween sentences can help.

It was meant as friendly advice and I didn't say a single mean or critical thing about anyone.
