Tottenham Takeover Talk

[sidford]

The changes in the families spurs holdings last year now take on a very different look. Very unlikely things will get that bad that the states would look to unwind those transactions but cynical person might think the shares were put even further out of reach if Joe ever got into bother

 

[Trent Crimm]

Indictment is easy - he does not need to be in US to be indicted.

Arrest would also be easy if he was in the Bahamas - since they have an extradition treaty with the US - see the Crypto dude was arrested last year.

Assuming that Lewis is actually in the Bahamas, I imagine that authorities would work with him to allow him to turn himself in rather than getting perp walked in cuffs.

As a side note - I have no idea about Joe's health - but would not be shocked to see his lawyers raise that issue when it comes to turning himself in - too sick to travel kind of stuff. Given that he has the ability and means to flee the jurisdiction, there might be some push by the US to get this taken care of quickly.

The prosecution suggests that if he’s healthy enough to spend his Friday’s with 3 Costa Rican hookers and a mongoose called Castro then his health ain’t all that bad.

 

[Pochemon94]

Charges date up to 2021, something now smells very fishy with the 2022 restructuring and removing his ‘significant control’….

oh he 100% was tipped off by his lawyers or some other advisor telling him hes being investigated and he did the restructuring to ensure the asset is safe. These cases don't get built overnight and the fact they made a video makes me think they have prob been working on this for years.

How much do you know about the DOJ Southern District of NY, and their prosecutorial power? I really wouldn’t say anything like you just said with such certainty. They are the most powerful federal prosecutorial office in the US. If they can take on and potentially take down Trump, Lewis is a minnow by comparison. If they have him under indictment, he isnt facing a large fine and slap on the wrist. They don’t take on those cases. If they are involved, this is as serious as it gets in terms of legal jeopardy. Unless you know something we don’t, I wouldn’t make those assumptions. I have three family members who have either worked for, or on the legal defense side of cases that come from that office… they do not fuck around.

Alright Judge Judy!

I was going to say, the NY DOJ is a big one, the fact they even made a video about it public says they are going for the throat and not a payout. it'll be interesting to see how long this goes for

 

[glacierSpurs]

So our owner actually isn't high up in he ivory tower as some fans alluded him to be?

Since no one is clean and everyone is questionable, can I just have the next wealthier owner who would at least invest in the club and players with the intention to win something? Then ENIC, Lewis and Levy can fuck off.

Had to laugh at that question. It seems Bluto knows a great deal about absolutely everything!

I will throw a party they day ENIC own none of our club

Right now no ownership option is off the table, however as I intimated in a post last Friday,

“
Between those discussions, the ongoing tour, transfers in, transfers out, etc, there’s a lot going on. Some of these things are getting more focus from DL than others, to the detriment of those that are getting less attention from him”

Now you know what one of the items in the “etc” was. There are many moving parts making it difficult for DL (or almost anyone) to devote the requisite focus to all facets of the club that need attention.

Not so long ago the hierarchy was JL, DL and FP. Now 2/3 of that structure are under a corruption cloud.

Not an easy time for DL, who

a) hired FP despite the known issues,
b) is trying to convince potential buyers to pay an exorbitant price and keep him on in his current role for a certain period of post-purchase time because of his experience and because he is “a safe pair of hands”,
c) is wondering whether the PL will decide that between the FP and JL issues it’s time to assess the fitness of the current ownership to run a club under their auspices,
d) doesn’t have Munn ‘officially’ on board,
e) has long retained board members who interfere in areas with which they are not sufficiently knowledgeable,
f) should be focused on the buying and selling of players, supporting our new manager, the ongoing tour, and the upcoming start of the season.

That’s as much as I can share for now. Really wish I could say more, but I can’t.

If there are ITKs that have snippets which contradict the above info, I’ll be absolutely delighted.

 

[Metalhead]

We could potentially all go to prison.

You'd better give him his chocolates back.

Well (c) above can be ignored.

So all in all a rosy picture

Also, it's not shocking that the yanks have gone after a non American. It's like their tax on the rest of the world- oh and big Joe will have to pay for the investigation, even if he is innocent.

Thanks for the info, really appreciate.

I really just can't sympathise with Levy for doing sooo many things on his own and not trusting any one capable to share out the load, all while retaining the seemingly incapable ones in the board.

At the time I thought it was just standard estate planning for someone in his position of wealth but now who knows. Ironically it might turn out to be the best thing Lewis ever did for this club!

‘Doing things the right way’

 

[spursfan77]

Well (c) above can be ignored.

For most clubs but probably not us. They aren’t going to make Levy fail their tests though but I bet they’ve a few questions.

I just hope it doesn’t hinder a sale.

 

[WiganSpur]

Did we actually officially announce Scott Munn’s appointment?

 

[HotSprut]

Is the club actively trying to find ways to fuck things up?

if Levy doesn’t have enough time to devote to certain activities he needs then to learn to delegate or hire people to take the load. Nothing worse than a manager who thinks they can do it all by themselves as a superman.
