Takeover talk

Maybe this is the reason we have to wait till summer to pay up on the loan options rather than paying for a permanent in January.

I’m certainly not ITK and the snippets I’ve shared have come through 3rd parties. That rumour is Alphabet/Google takeover with Levy staying on as chairmen and it’s been agreed in principle for a while. They were keen on Jose and Jose knew before he signed that cash was coming eventually.

I’d be more than happy for levy to stay on, he would provide some stability when lots is changing and the fact is he’s very good at his job, just get a Director of football in so levy doesn’t need to be near transfers

I know some Googlers. I will harass them.

totally agree. And they’re a listed business, how do you think their shareholders would feel about them spending money on questionable transfers etc.?

They wouldn't, because (despite what is often wanted on here) that's not what owners do or is possible.

Clubs spend their own money. Only difference is the creative ways it becomes their 'own money' (Etihad stuff)

Why assuming alphabet? Amazon old motto was; 'Everything from A to Z'.

Surely having an all access insight whilst recording a documentary has scared them well away,

Levy as chairman, with loads of cash, sounds like a winning formula to me.

Tucker · Jan 17, 2020

Well I’d rather this than the club being sold to some oil rich dictator.

i dun care how we cum as long as we cum, even if a tranny delivers a blowjob............whoever owns the club and can deliver success, i'll take that.

screw em "the right way, philosophy, game is about glory" nonsense, we've tried that with Hoddle, Arnesen, Santini, Jol, Commoli, AVB, Poch.

Only right way is "The Winning Way"

As long as he stays away from transfers. I think he could have unlimited money, but I don’t think it would stop him from trying to be too clever for his own good.

This was spotted in the Head office of Google in London, earlier this year and posted online:

Knowing Google, I'm sure there will be a more creative name to that.

As much as I'd love for it to happen, why do google need the exposure of a stadium named after them.

There was also a HP one and an UBER one. Assuming sent to various companies regarding potential naming rights.

Yes, forgot it's 2020. It was posted early 2019

Agree. And that was the talk around this picture when it first originated online last year.

There are many examples of american tech titans that own sports teams. Mostly american sports teams though. So, while it might sound ludacris at first it isn't. This would be an absolutely massive deal though, both from an economic perspective, but also the fact that it's...well Google. Alphabet has a host of different subsidiaries all owned by an holding company and they have been pretty vocal about looking to expand their ventures but that they would be looking in to sports teams, it's coming from the left field for many, including myself.

Surely everybody has been around for the time ENIC have owned the club and must realise how Levy is a control freak?

He does everything. Just look at transfers. Just look at the stadium. He wants 100% control over everything. New owners won’t give him that. There’s no way he would stay on. He wouldn’t be able to deal with it. I would be astounded if he’d be part of a new takeover. Astounded.

From what I’ve been told historically, there wouldn’t be a sale, there’s no appetite for one. Investment in the club, without doubt. But a sale, no.

Google/Alphabet just hit $1tn valuation today.

Maybe a silly question but would that make us the richest team in world football? Or at least the richest owners?

Hi guys, some ITK for you regarding any potential take over (yes, cleared by A&C). Despite being open to selling the club just 1-2 years ago once we had moved into the new stadium, Enic & Levy are now not interested in selling the club. I have been told that Levy values the club at around £2 billion but would not accept a bid anywhere near that offer. It would have to be substantially (and ridiculously higher). I’m told he wants to continue growing the club and is planning on the next chapter in the clubs history.

Also, there’s this from the summer, which I thinks more likely. Although things obviously change.
