Greaves357_bestever is going to be wanking into his morning cornflakes at this news.
Me, I hope it doesn't happen either. No more home grown players, no soul. Etc..
The timing would be perfect Spurs though, we get money no object owners but they can't spend it under FFP.

Could just do what PSG Are doing and swallow the fines.
Think with the investment City are putting into the training centre and academy their days of just buying and not getting any academy players come through might be slowing down. Their billionaires did what they had to do to get them from irrelevance to the main table. Would hope any takeover of our club followed a similar long term view. A few small changes in senior squad personnel to push us on a bit (we are definitely close to that top group of sides) and continued investment in making us a top-top club of scouting and developing young talent. I doubt Shiek Ali Baba would share a similar calm logical approach but can't help but dream!They produce fuck all home grown players

So not out of the realms of possibility then?!More chance of getting a wank off the pope than this happening....

Agree. I'd just hope they'd be the financial backing and let football people make the football decisions. I have faith in Mitchell & Poch to know that we aren't that far off being the side they want us to be. If some Shiek came in and said would £80m spent on the senior side help I'm sure they wouldn't say no, but I'd also think it would be used a lot more of a Spurs-way than the way PSG, City and Chelsea have all gone about it.You know if it's the build the stadium, mean we can afford to keep our top players like Lloris and Eriksen fine with me but if we end up being a fancy club for a few mega stars City style it will put me off, I am Spurs through and through and will stick with the club even if we end up in divison two so I'll stay come what may but still not 100% on this.

This wouldn't suprise me. My reliable contact told me at the time of the Olympic Stadium bid that Levy was spending a lot of his time preparing the club for sale. We will be sold at some time in the next 4 years, whether it's the Qatari's or not.
I most certainly will not be doing such an undignified act, but am not sure if it's a sense of humour failure on my part to put on ignore for such a comment. So I won't, but I'm unhappy about it, I can tell you that.Greaves357_bestever is going to be wanking into his morning cornflakes at this news.

But it won't be the club you supported in the 60's.At last the prospect of going back to the 'glory glory' club I supported in the 60s would be reawakened.
