Daniel Levy - Chairman

It really feels like another crossroads moment for the club. Saudi Sportswashing Machine - assuming they stay up - will be throwing money around in the summer, Arsenal seem on the up, Utd can’t get much worse and there are some clubs investing shrewdly below us. Should we not get the next six months right, I fear we won’t be at the top table for quite a while.

Having said that, Pep potentially leaving next year and Klopp not far behind will maybe give us a chance.

So a week into the transfer window and Levy is just now discussing the fact that in order to compete we need more money, Ok.
No brick.

While the article may be correct about Levy physically going over to meet Lewis, there's no way that the discussion is just about 'we need more cash'.
 
Also shows that this constant talk from Conte of late, of waiting for a meeting to discuss the squad wasnt a bluff and incredibly is actually true.

He’s understandably getting frustrated and the Son injury will compound this. If as I now expect we have a meh end to the season and we dont invest extremely heavily in the summer, then I’m quite sure he will quit before next season starts.

I know. You'd think Lewis would have installed a phone and maybe even some video conferencing tech on his yacht by now so Levy wouldn't have to go all the way out there just to have a conversation.

I think the conversation started with a phone call ... Levy relayed the cost of Contes demands .... Lewis fell out of his chair and summoned Levy for a face to face meeting.

Which is the opposite reaction i thought there'd be. Levy looking for more investment, possible new owners? Paratici and conte deciding who to go for? Levy just needs to sign the checks.

I thought that is what people wanted? Or do they just want to moan?

You’re not that new round these parts are you?!?
 
It's very worrying that people can easily hack into others communication systems, hope they dont let my family know I've booked a surprise dinner party for Saturday.

The irony being that the fact they are looking for investment from people and companies is basically an admission that we need outside cash to compete.

The funny thing being we already have an owner and company in place that between them have unbelievable amounts of cash behind them, so much that we could spend that £400m under ffp that we are permitted to and they would hardly notice.

But guess what the person and company that owns us are unbelievably tight fudging clams, who wont unlike so many owners put in their own money. No they want to find another person or company to do that for them.

Utter clams

Levy started enic. With investment from his family, lewis and others. He runs it. They invested in a lot of things. Lewis and levys family bought out the other investors. Enic then sold a lot of their other investments to buy spurs.

Levy isn't a multi billionaire. Lewis is but most of that is his main company tavistok.

There is a huge difference between having cash and being wealthy because of something you own. You may own a house in london worth £500k. But you have 10 years of a mortgage left to pay. Doesn't mean you have cash to splash. You can remortgage to build an extension to add value. But only to a limit.

So levy can't fund it. Lewis could if he borrows or sells his company. Which he aint doing. We already have huge debt guaranteed by tavistok and tavistock is his first love.

Yes there are owners out there that pump huge amounts of money into clubs. But apart from the wealth funds or abramovich who had to. The others are degenerate gamblers, borrowing to chase a dream, which if it fails they dump and walk away.

Actually not degenerate, cause it's not their money they are gambling with.

What’s in it for a outside investor for a small share though? I’m thinking naming rights and perhaps a share of non football revenue for some up front cash to support the team? So almost like borrowing against the extra revenue the stadium will generate over the next few years as we need an injection of cash to make the squad CL level competitive?
