Re: Cain Hoy takeover
Does he really need a source? Wow. I'm stunned you've asked that! As Enic are an investment company I thought every Spurs fan knew that this was the case. I've known it for the past 8 years (at that point I was only 13!) but didn't really care as a shiny new stadium, champions league football and being left in profit didn't seem a bad deal to me and still doesn't.
If you can suggest any reason why Enic aren't looking to simply make a profit out of us I would be very intrigued to hear it. But I always thought it was clear to all that we are merely to them what their company title suggests - an investment. In fact I would say that almost all of the clubs in our league are an investment, apart from those owned by billionaires with big egos who like to have their names in the taibloids for all the players they can throw cash at (no names hey mr abromovich).
EDIT: Before people jump on my back I'm not saying that we will have regular champions league and a shiny new stadium, just that is what appears to be ENICS original intention. Thought I'd clear that up as I know this forum can be really bitchy at the best of times. Now fight fair ladies.
If you have a business and you release a ground breaking product you don't sell out the moment you release it. You sell it once the product is stable and making mega bucks, after all that is when the product is enriching the company name.
I don't think anyones saying 'qucik buck'. Tottenham Hotspur is a long term project and I think Levy and Lewis knew that when they took it on. But clearly they will sell if we ever become Champions League regulars. The new stadium though I believe is the thing they really want to increase our market value. I don't dislike Enic at all, I actually like how they run us. But they certainly aren't here for charitable endeavours. They see us as a tool to make money out of, which is fair enough. The only debatable part is if whether different methods would have granted us and theirs wishes sooner.
It's always been the Lewis/Levy strategy - new ground, champions league, sell out at the top, run away
Source?

13 years later and still being accused of being in it for a quick flip eh?
If Levy/Lewis really wanted out, they would have done so the year we qualified for CL.
