Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS

[legion]

Should we be considering Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS company as potential new owners. He wanted to buy United but might be priced out.

We just signed a sponsorship agreement with INEOS' automotive brand. And that same week we played INEOS' team (Nice) in the French league.


Additionally from a couple days ago, POK seems to imply that it is a possibility that Levy and Ratcliffe both buy out Joe Lewis' share in the club.


"Not necessarily. Daniel Levy might get together his own consortium. That would interesting"


"It’s not him tho. Joe would set his price. He’s cosying up to Jim Ratcliffe a lot recently."


It would be extremely Spurs to get sold and still have Levy here making decisions.

No.

They value us at 8 billion , if he can afford that he can afford United.

Source for this? Everything I've seen values the club at a little more than what Chelsea went for. Think 3-4 Billion. Not 8. Even United are only valued at 7Bil and that's still a gargantuan overvaluation by the Glazers.

Ratcliffe may well be priced out of buying his childhood club.

I think it’s to do with the amount of shares moved about for the £150m cash injection that happened in the summer.

Yeah I took it from people saying that

This is my post from the ENIC thread:

As per ENIC'S equity injection they ultimately paid £150m to increase their shareholding by 1.9%. Therefore valuing 1% at £79m and putting the club's overall value at £7.9 billion.

So unless there's someone out there willing to meet that valuation and thinks we're better value at that price than United or Liverpool, the chances of ENIC selling the club any time soon are, I would estimate, around 0%.

I think that's an inaccurate assumption. No way we are worth more than United, arguably the biggest English club.

Well I agree it's absurd but people smarter than me worked it out on the share issue so I took their word for it

It's not an assumption. It's based on the valuation of the shares by ENIC. That's what they valued the club at

I don't think this is true man. Just impossible that Levy/ENIC (as idiotic as they are) are holding out a WORLD RECORD fee for a football club because we have some fancy infrastructure.

Read my post above, it's fairly straightforward

Plus, just trust me, Ineos would be fucking dreadful. Jim would run us into the ground, his modus operandi is to buy failing assets and milk them until they die.

I'm sure that's true but could it really be worse than ENIC

Yes, because we're about as secure and stable as a club can be under ENIC. Ineos would kill us.

 

[PeeEyeEmPee]

Someone's maths are way off, because not even the Dallas Cowboys are valued at £8bn, and they're considered to be the most valuable sports team in the world. I doubt we'd get £8bn for two Tottenhams

Can you confirm whether the deal has already taken place? Hard to tell the difference.

Nah, you'd know. Think Newcastle under Mike Ashley, just less chavvy than Sports Direct.

 

[southlondonyiddo]

I’d take Daniel Radcliffe taking over this shitshow atm!

Problem is with any new owner, we'd find weaknesses or things we didnt like about them. Never going to win and will never get a clean cut wealthy owner unfortunately.
