ENIC

Are they?
I mean it looks to me like they are just buying loads and loads of players still without a plan
I fully expects them to win the conference league though
They came in with huge plans but so far have just delivered chaos
They have had a good spell this season but as soon as they have to play their first team back to back they have struggled
The big change possibly is at the top of their business
We haven’t heard much this year of the turmoil and arguments

It might not be the right strategy but spending money isn’t a bad thing. For some weird reason why look down on teams spending big on this forum as if they are all getting it wrong.

I'm not sure actually.

But millions of people do it, I think its likely most football fans know they will never see their team win the Champions League, yet hundreds of thousands of people go to games every week.

No issue spending money
It’s key to success
But I’d also question have they been successful with the new owners. So far the answer is no. But they will win the conference this season
Will that be classed as a success for the money spent? I doubt it
If i you think that is looking down on them then that’s your call, not mine
There aren’t many teams spending big in reality. We need to keep on buying for sure

So its about you, not the club

Lets be clear mate, all of us would love nothing better than Spurs to be able to buy 2-3 100M players and push on and win a treble but we are also concerned about what our club becomes.

And yes its not binary but it is equivalent to betting your house and savings on an outcome, sure you could win but the consequences of losing are high ..

Unless you have more houses to gamble on or maybe hotels as some teams have done

Forgive me for wanting a bit of success after 16 years of winning diddly squat. So I should just accept where we are and be happy because we win the net spend trophy every season so that some fan in 2095 can finally watch us become a top team?

And it’s not always about spending hundreds of millions, but we have the most risk adverse owners in the league. I guess the more pertinent question is why after 20+ years of ENIC being in charge and fairly minimal success trophy wise would we expect the club to become a dominant team? And just when is this “long game” expected to kick in? How much more evidence do we need before we can make a judgment about the club’s strategy? Honestly it feels like a lot of the rationale on here at times is just stalling.

Building that stadium was a huge risk
It’s paid off so far of course but that’s part of the long game
Not taking the stadium sponsors money is a gamble too. A calculate one I assume
What ENIC won’t do is put money into the club. They have put in so far less than £200m for an asset valued at 13 times that
That’s a hell of a return and then some
No one will ever make that kind of return on a sporting entity again IMO. I actually think the valuation is buts but again, people will say the long bake shows that the growth may be there (I think football is close to its risk because it’s so money driven already)

The stadium move needed to happen as sad as it was to leave WHL. I wouldn’t ever criticise ENIC for that. It was the right call without question. As for the the naming rights, I suspect they just haven’t been able to nail anything down. It’s 5 years worth of revenue that wouldn’t have gone amiss.

Yep
But they were and still arguably are huge risks
