ENIC

[DeanoAustin]

Have to be fair to them, the recruitment strategy seems to be changing.

Higher wages. Got in two targets already who aren't our typical player profile. Looks like it gives us better characters in the dressing room. Binned off Bissouma without activating the clause to try and wangle a fee.

All indicative of the leopard maybe changing its spots. I've come to really despise ENIC and, of course, the team needs a lot more investment and a couple of big signings still. However, the early signs this window are positive.

As it stands (under "new" ownership)

- Johnson, Bissouma out
- Gallagher, Robertson, Sensei in, Davies resigned

Good to see early signings, good to see experience (not more kids), real concern there is no real spend and even JVH is likely just going to be a Romero swap.

Zero net spend is our everything

I like the haste of our work 100% BUT we did that in Ange first summer too TBF, we had Madders and a few other done really quickly.

What I think will be interesting is how dynamic we are with the squad management. There is still alot to ship and alot of key places to fill, where this will differ is if we can offload players and not demand the high prices whilst getting the game changers done quickly and joined up. What we don't want is loads of early work done only to be scratching round for a left winger all summer only to get the new Muani or Werner

GHod we’ve have some truly woeful forwards since the days of prime Kane and Son. If we don’t address it then we’re more likely to be battling relegation than chasing the top 6 next season.

robertson and davies together at left back is silly imo,
pile their salaries together and get a proper LB from a mid table team at prime age from a top five league is easier and less risky

The Lewis family have injected £100million into Tottenham Hotspur with more to come, football.london understands, as the owners seek to provide the north London outfit with the funds to push on to new heights.

Under a new ambitious head coach in Roberto De Zerbi, Spurs want to banish consecutive 17th-place finishes into distant memory and instead fight further up the Premier League. The Lewis family, with Vivienne Lewis and her son-in-law Nick Beucher the most prominent members in terms of backing the club, promised at the end of the season to invest in the club and in a statement said that "actions will speak louder than words".

After swatting away three parties interested in buying their stake in the club last year, the Lewis family made it clear that Spurs were not for sale and have added another £100million into the Premier League outfit, on top of the previous £100million injected back in October, to ensure CEO Vinai Venkatesham has the financial muscle to make the changes required.

football.london understands it won't be the last of the money the family put into the club through their investment company ENIC and it is investment rather than raising debt.

The new £100million can used for various means, including transfers and further improvements within the club, but at a time when transfers are mostly paid in installments it will provide Spurs with the extra working initial capital to get bigger moves over the line.

Such is the nature of the investment that former Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is understood to have been invited to add his proportionate share to that £100million in order to not dilute his portion of the club. Levy is currently the subject of a claim from Eight Sports Capital Limited that they have a legally binding sale and purchase agreement for a large portion of his stake in ENIC.

interesting that this could not be done while levy was around. what about the other shareholders who bought 99% from Levy? did they match or did their shares get diluted?

in any case, it seems that the Lewis nepo babies are actually doing something that joe and daniel could not

Think it's been clear Joe never wanted to put more money in ..

If new nepo babies want to .. well done

 

[robp135]

To clear up any potential confusion. The “invitation" to Levy is a normal contractual process that accompanies a large equity injection. The Lewis family can’t issue the new shares solely to themselves at a favourable price without offering that opportunity to the minority shareholders like Levy. They are legally obligated to give that opportunity to minonrotiy shareholders.

owner investment is cheating, clubs should only be allowed to spend the money they bring in from football commercial activity, gate receipts, sponsorship, tv money and player sales

this is exactly the type of thing that renders all of Chelseas and city's trophies completely worthless
