ENIC

Bishop said:
But that's exactly what ENIC did when they bought us. They previously owned Slavia Prague and Vinceza and had minority ownership of Rangers and AEK. They then pulled their money out when a more potentially prosperous opportunity (Spurs) came about. If it's an issue now, was it an issue for you before?

I was certainly sceptical at the time Enic were unknown here and the noises coming out of the other clubs was negative for sure. There was very high profile comments at the time saying they had no interest in football from their previous investments. Like my original post says, I would always be sceptical if someone all of a sudden decides that their investment somewhere else is done and they move the money on, surely thats a nature thought to think "if they do that with PSG what not us". Whether the fear is justified only time would tell I suppose but I would not apologise for having that nagging feeling again

The Telegraph are reporting this would be £1bn for a 25% stake using new shares so the money goes to the club for investing in either clearing the debt or player recruitment.

At this stage it is very much like transfer gossip - rumour starts then everyone jumps on it adding their spin and trying to make it sound like they have a source or know the finer details.

The abobe could be true but i doubt anyone that is writing articles since the link had this info and was sitting on it or has been able to get the info in such a short amount of time.

Not what they said unless there has been a newer article i can't find. No mention in the article about new shares or the money being used to cleardebt or player recruitment.

An offer worth under £1 billion for a 25 per cent stake in Tottenham was mooted by industry specialists as an option, with Al-Khelaifi and Levy said to be on good terms. Representatives for Manchester United are also understood to have tested interest at high levels in Qatar in recent months, but the suggestion at this stage is that Spurs would be a more likely prospect.

I'm with Simon Jordan on this. I don't think they'll invest and take a minority share. Why would they? It makes no sense. Full takeover, yes, but not necessarily Spurs.

Yeh echos my thoughts, nothing in it for them, dilutes the shares and they will want to be front and centre of any club, why invest and be an almost silent partner of Enic after the world cup? Not sure it makes the statement in football they would want.

Well surely they have to sell PSG anyway as someone said thats the plan? Surely they can sell Braga too?

They are selling a minority share in psg. They don't want to sell braga they bought their share last year. They want connections of different clubs. Now they may sell more of psg and have a majority in an english club eventually but doesn't seem immediate.

Basically they want what red bull and city have. A network of clubs. But by law they can't have a majority share in more than one european club.

Surely that works for them because they are called Redbull etc etc? Do not New York play in basically a Emirates Marketing Project kit and called City? But an investment in Spurs offers zero profile and no return to their investment? Just not sure it adds up for me but as I have already said, that could well just be me

If this comes to fruition, it will be the final nail in the coffin for me as a 'supporter'. I will always follow Spurs, but if it was just about winning trophies, i would have changed allegiances in 2003 and supported Chelsea. Of course it will be difficult to ween myself off the unhealthy drug that is THFC, but supporting a club and spending money on the club when so tightly associated with less desirable organisations, becomes much harder for me personally.

The money involved in prem footy has been putting me off for a few years anyway, and i took solace in Spurs trying to do things sustainably and the right way, but tinkling money away ala Chelsea, bricky and Poocastle isn't for me.

Amen brother and pretty much sums my feelings up as we.. I have worked, played and supported the game for over 60 years and i must admit that a lot of my love for the game has fallen over the last decade or so. Sky, BT, bent agents, bent money being plowed into the game by despots and idiots on the TV spouting off about how great the SPORT ( and i say that tongue in cheek) is.

I still go but i find the love i had for Spurs and the game over the years has fallen and i sometimes wonder why i bother as much any more. Sad times.

I don't know to be honest. It will be QSI investing not psg. They are a sports investment group. One thing it does is give them an ear on what is happening with any super league talks. As far as i'm aware we are still signatories.

Its true the game died when Roman began the cheating at chelsea.

As for Spurs the club somehow failed to become a behemoth after winning the double. How that team and manager could achieve that, add Greaves to it and fail to win the league again is truly staggering and just about sums Spurs up!

It's like in any walk of life, until people say enough is enough nothing changes. Football won't change either until there is a backlash from fans.

You’ll be waiting a long time for that, buddy. Have you seen the state of the UK? And yet millions would still vote Conservative, according to polling. It’s inertia central here.

TBH Though its not so much moral code its what my heart tells me, like I say, my love for football has been on the wane for a while now for various reasons and I just could not get aboard the almost clinical nature of a team injected with cash to win things. I would not knock anyone who wants that and the pain of not winning things I also feel, I just know the feeling for me would be sweeter winning something without the doping.

I’m sure that supporters of Halifax Town and Stalybridge Celtic look at us and say the same thing.

That’ll be clearing the debt, then.
 
I think it will be £1bn for 25% of new shares with it being used to clear the debt and the rest given to Paratici. I think they will also announce QSI’s involvement in phase 3 of the NDP and wider regeneration of Tottenham.

I think we will also announce a naming rights deal with a separate entity at the same time.
 
If they do get onboard though i do expect to see a world record naming rights deal signed with a company that coincidentally has ties to Qatar, but is by no means just a way of bypassing ffp
