Harry Kane

Has Kane turned up for training today?

My point is Lewis isn't a bank roller, he wants his investment to grow so he can ultimately cash out, they don't make much out of us. I am under no illusion that he or Levy actually care much about us as a club, but they do as an investment.

Yes but your owners spend they own capital on you, Im not going down the whole FFP BS because its irrelevant in all honesty.

That is my point. Lewis wants to sell the club for a profit without putting money in. Now the club is drowning in debt.
That, to me, is not caring about the club. He is rich enough to push Spurs to the next level and chooses not to.

Our owner wants a return too, but he will get that after heavy investment (which he doesn't do for Manchester City specifically anymore, his investment is mostly only used for expansion and infrastructure now).
The CFG is worth $5 billion. That is significantly more than has been injected by our owner.

I agree with all of that, I don't really know what your point is. If Lewis choose to he could easily inject alot of cash and be free and easy with FFP, but he never has and never will.

No we don't we have an investment company in ENIC who own us, who arent interested in pumping their own cash in.

Can you explain how Levy fits into that? I am genuinly confused because whan I read "pundits" talking about how Levy is in charge of the transfers . Is it all down to Levy to agree or not agree? And why are the pundits talking about Levy being the man who makes decisions?

Levy is both a minority shareholder and Chairman. Lewis is a hands off investor, he prefers to live tax free in the Bahamas or Qatar or Monaco or somewhere.

i mean if you dont accept 130m for a 28yo who really wants to leave, what else do u want?

1 billion dollars ;)

Sorry that doesn't make sense. You said your owners end game is selling the club, presumably to make money. They bought it from Sugar.
.

Point I was making was,they sold shares in.......
Rangers 25.1%
Slavia Prague 96.7%
AEK Athens 47%
Vicenza 99.9%
FC Basel 50%.......also sold "many" media and entertainment businesses to fund the purchase of Spurs.
That's some fuckin money spent and now £970m in debt.
I don't think Levy is as smart as some make out.

Prior to Paratici, Levy was the man running all of Spurs (football and business), always has. Levy is part owner and chairman.

Id say they would COVID hasn't been kind, that's for sure. Forbes says £1.65B as of last year, who knows we might get a super rich owner down the line :).

If you are worth that much and levy is a genius why did you attempt to furlow staff ?
