ENIC

I would hazard a guess that's an error on your part, more than anyone else's.


First game in 1977, I think I'm invested.


You only see what you want to see it seems.

I think you'll find it's a criticism shared by many with issues that effect their everyday life, health and security.

Then you're old enough to know better than align yourself with a protest group with no solutions other than I don't like this about a pastime.

I see people are unhappy and don't like how Spurs are run. If they truly believe ENIC and Levy are only in it for the money and someone will buy the club who will meet their requirements (whatever they are) surely producing leaflets with thier proposals at games to supporters attending would get their message across in a way that might engage more support.
 
The CFT criticism is that Levy/ENIC are only in it for the money and thus won’t speculate beyond a very low risk level.
The supposition is that a new buyer would speculate at a higher risk level and buy a couple more big players per year on higher wages.

I think Levy is now at ‘that’ exact moment. He’s stabilised EVERYTHING (finances, infrastructure, manager, young squad, wages ratio, PSR/FFP) so can now finally finally finally turn the level up a bit.

It remains to be seen if he will, but given the current perfection of EVERYTHING there are no more barriers to simply cherry picking 4 or 5 of the best 23 year olds (from outside the top 8 clubs in the world) in each window and selling off the 28 year olds for similar costs I.e. a sustainable model.

THIS is what we’ve all been waiting for.

( We won’t be buying Isak or Salah types, for good sustainability reasons)
 
Whoever buys Spurs will be in it for something other than football/the love of Spurs. We're not going to find a Matthew Harding or Jack Walker.
So it’s either ….
Sports washing
Or profit
There aren’t really any other motives
The latter is business but would have course mean money leaving the club
The former is a more challenged and nuanced position and is likely to come from a regime that doesn’t class human beings in the same way the most of the conventional spurs fan base would
What I can say is the proper I’ve met from the Emirati have always been polite and friendly but I’ve also been on a call with Saudi and the men on the call insisted that any conversation with a female colleague was done through a man. That was novel for sure

Levy is actually probably the closest we'll get to a fan owning us.
 
Why are they after branded seating?

So THST wants every seat in the stadium to have a badger on it?

Then Levy decides to sell 62850 seats to businesses so they can have their own logo's on them. Imagine going to a game and sitting on a red seat in the south stand sponsored by Coca Cola.

lol - Levy Out !!!
 
So if they get branded seating (whatever that means) and a statue of Bill Nicholson, is Levy forgiven and allowed to stay? Pick a battle. Ticket pricing. Concessions. Club transfer policy. Whatever. It’s all too scattergun at the moment.
And stop referring to “the fans”. Whether it’s THST or CFT, or any other group, they don’t represent all the fans.

All action groups try to claim to represent a section of society, like "hard working people". I don't mind a menu as it allows for concessions.

But then they need to agree what they are happy to concede on from that menu. Would they take higher ticket prices in order to keep OAP concessions, for example? And because they are not negotiating on behalf of the whole fanbase, how do they decide what can be given up? And because of the nature of the movement they can hardly keep their strategy secret. If the club say ok we will reinstate the OAP concession but everyone else has to take the hit via a price increase, or, we’ll lower the cut off for the Young Adult concession instead, is that acceptable?
All somewhat hypothetical of course as they are not in a position to negotiate with the club anyway but I don’t think they want a negotiation, they simply have a list of things they want to be done differently. Not saying that’s wrong but they have no leverage other than making noise.
