ENIC

[SirPercyHotspur]

There are loads of different valuations of clubs by different sources , Forbes has us at £2.4 billion that's half the valuation of Manure but higher than Chelsea. The Qataris baulked at paying that price for Manure , which judging by what Ratcliffe paid is not far off their value.

All the middle east buyers of English clubs so far have paid nowhere near those figures, are owners like ENIC and others unrealistic in what they want for clubs?

They aren’t to unrealistic as it’s their choice
It’s not like they need to sell

And that is entirely his prerogative, nothing, absolutely nothing says ENIC has to sell at "a fair price" (to your point)

Chelsea set a huge outlier in evaluation, 4B+ for a fire sale on a club with sketchy ground ownership and in bad need of infrastructure rebuild means Spurs can/should ask more

I think success of the team and it's stature would play a part as well. Chelsea are simply a much bigger name than we are on the international stage and much more successful at the end of the day. I can see someone being willing to pay more of a premium for that than Spurs imo.

I think the purchases have largely been opportunistic when clubs were financially precarious.

We are in rude health, that has to be worth more.

I think the purchases have largely been opportunistic when clubs were financially precarious.

We are in rude health, that has to be worth more.

It is true that when some of the clubs were sold they were financially less stable but when one of the world's most famous football clubs (Manure) couldn't find an outright buyer are the valuations too high.
Re our position, we are in good financial health but I believe any debt has to be taken into account when applying a valuation.
