BEN: not true im afraid
Hope they buy out Enic. I’d take their money in a heartbeat for us to seriously compete again. Maybe they could loan us Messi from psg! ?
I'm not sure about that. Happy to be proven wrong but I would be surprised if that plays into it at all.This will never happen, we are a club with Jewish routes singing songs about Yids. There's a reason Levy has looked to the US for sales and investment, no-one in Middle East will come near
Its not just the country mate.It’s not the fact football has lost its morals. The country as a whole has, dirty oil money is everywhere.
I was thinking the same thing so out of interest I did a (very quick) google............Their money and ownership/investment is literally everywhere, from property in almost every big city and town in England (even fucking Runcorn) to Barclays bank, Sainsburys and Harrods. Use Heathrow airport and you're a customer. If you live in an area serviced by Severn Trent Water, there they are. It's almost impossible not to participate.I'd be interested to hear peoples views on this as I honestly don't see much difference between supporting Spurs backed with Arab money and buying a smartphone/tablet powered by an arm processor (clue: fucking loads of them), or using an app backed with Arab seed money (clue: fucking loads of them)

This is just it mate, I mean if you want no part of anything to do with Arab money then fair play, but good fucking luck with that...you'll be living in a hut in the woods.I was thinking the same thing so out of interest I did a (very quick) google............Their money and ownership/investment is literally everywhere, from property in almost every big city and town in England (even fucking Runcorn) to Barclays bank, Sainsburys and Harrods.

I'm very happy for you both.Today, I feel Qatari.
He isn't backing down on this. Something is happening. Says Levy has been to Qatar and equity would be less than 30% so not full take over if it was to happen and that multiple sources have confirmed discussions.
I guess the difference is knowingly being a customer and unknowingly. Also, that it seems to openly fly in the face of the change that various campaigns are supporting in the footballing world, mostly around inclusiveness. Its the hypocrisy of it I think? I'm not sure that many other industries where they're involved are so outwardly pro inclusivity like football has been since the first 'Kick it Out' campaign.I was thinking the same thing so out of interest I did a (very quick) google............Their money and ownership/investment is literally everywhere, from property in almost every big city and town in England (even fucking Runcorn) to Barclays bank, Sainsburys and Harrods.

There's certainly some truth in this, at least there being some discussions. We'll see how far it goes, my guess not too far. But it's clear why they'd want to invest in Spurs: London, fancy stadium, solid financials, NFL and so on. United are more profitable but they need to invest in infrastructure and its more expensive. Spurs is a ready made club besides the footballing side.
