Vinai Venkatesham - CEO

Levy has been eliminated from any say in how we go about raising funds or outside investment.
Weren't we refering to a loan from the end of August?
So he has two choices, he accepts the dilution as he thinks he comes out better in the long run because of the incoming investment (much like the club does) or he cashes in all of his holding or part of.
Yes agreed. If there are people looking to buy. Levy could be conducting a private auction Amanda vs Lewis family for example, trying to get the best valuation. As a minority shareholder commonly your shares will be discounted. Far more valuable if Spurs were sold as one.
On the other part. There well maybe some justification for taking a loan, but borrowing from the future is always a bit brick, it's all a bit Klarna, chasing your tail.
Look at the clubs Macquarie already have on their loan book and it's the Leicester, Southamptons Sheff Utd etc...plus the interest rates ain't pretty. (The 6-7% quoted was from 5 years ago)


Because we have lots of headroom for owners to invest, I don't think it makes too much difference in our case. Just the added cost of interest.
 
That article is 5 years old. It lays out what Macquarie do. I think it's been reported but also safe to assume, the reason we've used Macquarie is that is the loan type they offer (ie secured against future earnings')
That’s 100% their normal model
And scary if so
My only guess, and pure speculation on my side is that it may be to do with cash covenants we have

What happened to the Geordies btw?

I thought Ashley had left them in a good position PSR wise?. Is it because they just don't have the revenues to support regular big spending (as a percentage) after an initial splurge?

Yesh...and they threw a lot of money at the club very quickly. They did sign some fantastic players. Not just Isak, but players like Botman. Probably overpaying to attract them. Our turnover is what double or more theirs?

Absolutely this and they shot their loads early with big fees and big wages to get people to want to live up in the land of Greggs

May have been in a good position with regards to PSR, but a very difficult situation squad wise along with a very short term focus on fixing those squad issues. And revenue, for sure.
