HeyAnty Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Why would Lambert sign a new contract if there was so much uncertainty over the owner. He must be privy to some information that we are not. Either Lerner is not selling and going again or the club has already been/nearly sold. Same applies to our new CEO coming in. From the information we have as fans, it doesn’t add up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lerner goes Lambert receives a hefty bonus for that contact and a P45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted September 19, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 19, 2014 I hear Spuds are up for sale for 1.77 billion. I can't decide whether that makes us look better or worse to a potential owner. It makes us look like the buy of the century! Are they seriously asking that much!? I think Abramovich has spent just over a Billion on Chesea over the 11 or so years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs are based in London and have a huge waiting list for season tickets. That alone makes them worth at least twice as much as Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Lambert has reiterated that he has a good relationship with Lerner and that he trusts him. He also said Lerner will find the right buyer for the club whether that takes a month, two months or three years. Make of that what you will.

villa89 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 So a less than a third of 1.77bn pounds. I think that figure is absurd. It's also probably not correct. I have seen lots of figures for the price of Spurs in the media and they all vary wildly and are just guesses at the actual asking price IMO.

Being in London does add some value, and having a waiting list for tickets shows they're popular, but 1.77bn pounds just seems crazy money to me. Man Utd costs the Glazers £800m 9 years ago, when they were (and probably still are) the biggest club in the world. Adjusted for inflation that's about £1.07bn. I think it makes us look a good deal.
