Joe Lewis is hardly a shining paragon of virtue...
10 years time we are going to watching the PL via facebook, whilst using a Facebook currency to by our season tickets in the Facebook Stadium
I've been supporting Spurs since 1959, but I'll reconsider my position if the club is taken over by any American , oil sheik , or Russian mafia.
Zuckerberg would be an awesome club owner
Ok - you don't need to buy Spurs to get a "European" NFL team.I know that is why I put the word "European" at the front.
To put it simply, the guy is a genius. He would view us like a project than a business and would constantly want to improve us without sucking money out constantly because he knows what it takes to make something a success. My doubt I have is im not sure how much he knows of the EPL but to be honest I think it's a risk worth taking having heard and read so much about him.Why?
Newflash: Our owner fucked off out of Europe for the Carribean and Florida years ago for tax purposes. Our ownership group, Tavistock does all of its business in America(besides Spurs), but is domiciled in the tax haven Bahamas islands, which is only like 50 miles off shore at its closest point. We're as close to an American owned club already as you can get without the owner being American born.

That's because he doesn't spend any of his own money!Maybe.
But the one thing you can't accuse him of is financial doping!
Come on Baz, imagine your super yacht moored somewhere off Portsmouth with the wind howling and rain lashing down, surely you must be tempted no?Why do people say for tax purposes? If i was rich and i had a choice of what country i wanted to live in bahamas would be a lot higher on the list than england.
the sugar daddynet worth around 63 billion. how's that for a sugar daddy?
That's because he doesn't spend any of his own money!
Oh my god. Now i want to cry.Always wondered if the story on the 'yachty potty' episode of football ramble a while back might have been him..
This. Spurs have NOTHING to do with the NFL besides for having 2 games a season at the new stadium. Maybe a prospective franchise would use the stadium but that does not mean the Spurs owner would own that team also.Ok - you don't need to buy Spurs to get a "European" NFL team.
NFL owners rarely pay for, or own a stadium - much cheaper to lease. If a group wanted to own a European NFL team, they would either buy an exiting team and re-locate to London - leasing New White Hart Lane, or the NFL would expand, and grant a new franchise to someone - who would lease New White Hart Lane.
There is no chance of a take over at this time.If there is any take over chance, the cheque book will be well and truly closed for transfers
