Daniel Levy is still in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium holding investment discussions.
In North London, Levy and the club’s present owners, ENIC, aren’t exactly the most well-liked individuals.
The chairman is still working to improve the club’s revenue, but fans are still frustrated with the team’s slow development on the field.
Spurs have everything they need to succeed, including the facilities necessary to establish them as a major football force.
But, in terms of football, they just haven’t been able to get to the next level. Supporters would thus undoubtedly be eager to see new, more aspirational proprietors come over.
Consequently, news of a recent update on the club’s investment discussions will have pleased supporters.
As the investment negotiations continue, Mehrdad Ghodoussi was at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the team’s 1-0 loss to Arsenal on September 15, as reported by the Sun on Sunday (page 56, September 22).
During the North London derby, Ghodoussi was a VIP visitor. Ange Postecoglou and his team had a miserable day, with talk of a possible financial infusion in the background.
Ghodoussi’s business partner and wife, Amanda Staveley, has assembled a group with funding from the Middle East and other sources to purchase a portion of Tottenham.
Thus, this may pave the way for a complete takeover at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
To lead the takeover at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is Amanda Staveley?
If Staveley is able to acquire a portion of Tottenham, a complete takeover may not be too long off.
The precise amount of the club that Staveley and her group hope to buy is unknown. If it’s a sizable sum, though, it may make obtaining a majority stake easier down the road.
Since ENIC took control, the Spurs’ value has skyrocketed, and the Americans could be searching for a way out.
It’s unclear what it would imply for Chairman Levy. It’s no secret, though, that the club welcomes investment.
Thus, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to presume that talks about the possibility of an internal or external acquisition had taken place.
