I had spoken earlier about the lower wages at Spurs would be used to get Spurs a better valuation for investment. @pokeefe1 had said something similar. My contact in Gulf who is very close to the royal family has told me following:
* PSG owners the “in” family in Qatari power structure and politics are in talks to buy Spurs
* Bein the media conglomerate will be used to buy Spurs and will also be the main sponsor
* What attracts the Qataris is Stadium and the fact that world class talent would want to come to London
* Qataris are insisting on having a tube station next to the stadium as condition of purchase. In exchange they’re willing to commit to area regeneration
* Qataris looking at this as a serious investment in the entire area. They don’t want to be known as vanity buyers buying a club and paying to win. They want a “win hearts and minds” approach the way Emiratis their regional rivals have done in Manchester
* Qataris also feel it’s time to make a statement in the biggest league in the world. There’s general understanding at the topmost level that if you’re not in the English Premier League you’re not really a serious player and having two regional rivals there already is slightly upsetting
* On Levy: “He wasn’t born yesterday. He’s driving a hard bargain”
* The Qatari interest from the same family as PSG owners is the most serious interest in Tottenham since ENIC took over. Here’s hoping it goes over the line.
Passing it on as I heard it. As they say in that part of the world - “And Allah knows best”
