New owner & manager from COYS

[jimbo]

It would be almost worth it to see hordes of distraught Geordies chucking themselves into the Tyne.

They'd probably get lost in the fog. End up in Morrisons, at the pie counter. Why does a supermarket need a pie counter? Do people actually decide to have a pie while they do their shopping?

I suspect the answer is, up North yes, yes they do.

Doesn't really deserve a new thread so I'll just point out that BEN has said on FTL that Kelmsley is leaving the club and won't be buying it. Announced tomorrow apparently.

Have you informed Stoof? He might actually cry with joy!

That's not a sign that he's not going to buy the club, if anything i'd say that was a sign of intent. I can't see anyone launching a takeover bid whilst employed by the company they want to take over from. If he is planning on putting in a bid with other people then to leave the club strikes me as the logical first step to avoid getting accused of corporate nepotism (dunno if there is actually a word for it, but you get what i mean)

I thought about that as soon as i made the post above yours. Perhaps its not such good news after all.

He hates the city slickers. You can make numbers say anything,and by depressing them he will be able to buy back the company privately.He is very friendly with Richard Caring and Phillip Green .Richard and Phillip do everything together,although Philip told me that despite being a life long Spurs fan he would never buy a club. But maybe he has changed his mind. If he has that triumvate would have more than enough to buy the club fron ENIC,build a new stadium and put millions into the team. This rumour has been going around for some time now,but seems to be gathering momentum ,so who knowa.

why does this strike me as more credible ITK info than anything else I have ever read???

1. nothing definite
2. no claim to be ITK
3. logical, plausible conclusions...

Or they're getting out the person most likely to block any takeover bid. I definitely believe BEN on this one and think that we may see the back of Kelmsley.

I was under the impression Levy and he were good buddies though - unless BEN knows a reason for his departure, other than "he's off", it seems a bit odd. The only other thing i can think of is an opportunity somewhere else and, as we all know, PK is a business man so being lured away to focus on property or land management would make sense.

According to COYS the original ITK says he's leaving to take more interest in his businesses.

The crux of it seems to be whether Joe Lewis has decided enough is enough and he's going to cash in on Spurs now.

Kemsley has been heavily linked with Ashley and Philip Green in the past, so it is superficially strange to see claims that he's leaving the board. Apart from Levy and Alexander, Kemsley must know the details of the club's finances and future development better than anyone, so he has to be a valuable partner for any consortium looking to take over the club.

Wild speculation, but perhaps Lewis is inviting a bidding war between Klinsmann's supposed American backers and the Ashley-Caring-Green-Kemsley? faction. In which case, Kemsley might have a conflict of interest as a board member? Or is that rubbish?

The other thing to mention is that by plenty of accounts Kelmsley has been given less responsibility at the club since the bungling of the training ground application (which was apparently his fault). This is obviously just speculation on my part but maybe now he sees that he won't get his grubby mits on the club, he's decided it's not worth hanging around.

Wasn't he more Sugar's lapdog than Levy's anyway?

That's about the same as a rock band citing artistic differences when what they really mean is that the member who's got the boot is a coked-up shit-stirring ****.

 

[tony0379]

[tony0379]

With the money men in charge it's just so short term .

It seems ever more unlikely that we will ever see a 5 year plan through to completion or learn what could have been achieved if Jol , Commoli et al were given time .

The money men have won .

 

[tototoner]

from reading elsewhere kemsley will not be making a bid for Spurs
