Levy is 61. I think he will be at Spurs for the next ten years at least.
He will want to oversee the construction of the rest of the property around the stadium, push for an NFL franchise and further climb the ladder of FIFA and UEFA(if he still hold a role there). Currently he represents the Premier League at the European Club Association (ECA), and is the PL's longest serving chairman. He is a major influence when all the chairman meet up.
Employing Munn, frees him up to do all of the above. In my opinion.
So any future investment, if there is one, will be for a minority stake.
I don't see that we need Qatari money. For all the crying about transfers (some valid) and Levy's questionable football decisions (hopefully fixed now with Munn) we're making big revenues that in FFP land should keep us properly competitive. Certainly should be enough in the pot to win a trophy or two with a big of good recruitment and good management.
We don't need 'saving' by some nation state line Newcastle did. We don't need a roof like United do. They probably won't be in for us because there's not much upside. What could they do for us? Bring Kane back? And Levy could well ask for as much or more than they bid for United.
To get Levy to sell they'd have to offer like double or more what the club is worth
Wanting to be state owned like city and Newcastle
Basically a sports washing scheme
You can’t be that desperate to win a trophy
Spurs are going along nicely, top of the league, so the media turns on us, weres Billy !!

Prefer to stay with ENIC. Don`t want our club being purchased as a sportswashed outfit like City and Newcastle.
I have never had any problems with Levy or ENIC. Not perfect, but still probably the best run club in the Prem.

Levy would probably stay in a take over.
Most buyers would probably view him as a superb, experienced CEO who has delivered massive improvement and off pitch excellence.
Many fans would disagree but that probably highlights the difference between a fan's understanding of running a club and an owners.
So long as the chain of command and positions beneath him are clear and filled with leading candidates then it would work.
That said I would not support such ownership. Selling our soul. We'd all turn into deluded blinkered fools like Boris, the poster boy for sports washing.

I agree.
A lot of these investments look to add serious value to a club - A small yoyo club like City, a run into the ground NUFC, a badly run CFC. ALl of them picked up for a fraction of their now worth. Even Chelsea under Clearlake got them on the cheap allowing them to throw £1bn at the team.
Most have all needed big infrastructure investment and Spurs probably have the best infrastructure in the land on incredibly good financial terms .
ENIC have created a very successful financial entity, which does not require massive investment, but where there is real scope to grow further, including all the development land owner around the stadium.
SO right now Spurs are a good investment option as real value can be added through going to the next level on the pitch and on commercial revenues, especially sponsorship.
I think while Levy & Joe will want to maximise their return on a sale, they also will recognise that if Spurs were maxed out in terms of on and off field success, then there would be more limited scope for a buyer to add value and this might limit buyers in the market for the club....hence why most of the big buys, including Liverpool by FGS and recent prospective United buyers, have picked clubs that are in some difficultly, where more serious value can be added.
Right now I see Spurs are ripe for the picking, and If a serious bid from anyone came in then Levy might sell. WHat that bid is? God knows. Forbes have us at £2.3bn, which is actually about £0.4bn more than Arsenal
One thought that i have had for a while is that the sponsorship of the stadium may not have been advanced because any possible buyer might want to put their name on it, or at least have a sponsorship that aligns with their interests.

Guys
Some interesting comments and viewpoints posted by you.
I am in the camp of those who want us to progress without sports washing, although ultimately it is out of our hands if a bid does come in.
Whatever happens I will continue to support the club as I have done for the past 65 years as a man and boy, Spurs are in my DNA and nothing can alter that.

I don't understand why you're bothered by the ownership, unless it is clearly interfering with the management and squad membership.
In the case of Spurs, is there evidence that Lewis did anything other than watch the financial value and leave management to Levy?
But our management, Levy is a different matter. His attitude to trading in/out for the squad is a matter of public comment. The result has been a very long dry spell of nothingness, ultimately leading to our talisman player leaving, although he had to fight for a few years to do so!
Any fan who changed allegiances would be justified.
Luckily we now seem to have a manager who might actually get the squad to win stuff.
So Sandy and some others can now come out of the closet and openly support ENIC.
Well, maybe Spurs will end up as a case of "Alls Well That Ends Well"?
I hope so. Its been a very long time since we won something!

To answer this seriously, I know I'd be in the minority. And I wouldn't criticise the vast majority of fans who would welcome a huge cash injection at whatever cost.
For me personally, there's a moral and ethical line. I can support a club which is being propped up by a human rights abusing nation state. It would be effectively supporting or at least legitimising them and their actions, and that's something I in good conscience could not do. So after 40 years supporting my team that would be the end for me.
They'd do just fine without me though. It's just a personal choice.

my previous comment should have said 'I can't support a club' as opposed to 'can'. Kind of an important error on my part!
It would a line I too could not cross, despite following Spurs since the early 60s. In the end human rights are more important

I don't understand why you're bothered by the ownership, unless it is clearly interfering with the management and squad membership.
In the case of Spurs, is there evidence that Lewis did anything other than watch the financial value and leave management to Levy?
But our management, Levy is a different matter. His attitude to trading in/out for the squad is a matter of public comment. The result has been a very long dry spell of nothingness, ultimately leading to our talisman player leaving, although he had to fight for a few years to do so!
Any fan who changed allegiances would be justified.
Luckily we now seem to have a manager who might actually get the squad to win stuff.
So Sandy and some others can now come out of the closet and openly support ENIC.
Well, maybe Spurs will end up as a case of "Alls Well That Ends Well"?
I hope so. Its been a very long time since we won something!

To answer this seriously, I know I'd be in the minority. And I wouldn't criticise the vast majority of fans who would welcome a huge cash injection at whatever cost.
For me personally, there's a moral and ethical line. I can support a club which is being propped up by a human rights abusing nation state. It would be effectively supporting or at least legitimising them and their actions, and that's something I in good conscience could not do. So after 40 years supporting my team that would be the end for me.
They'd do just fine without me though. It's just a personal choice.

my previous comment should have said 'I can't support a club' as opposed to 'can'. Kind of an important error on my part!

It would a line I too could not cross, despite following Spurs since the early 60s. In the end human rights are more important

If the UAE extract and sell their own oil should it be called blood money?

Where do you people draw the line ffs? Should we consider bids from Hamas, Putin or maybe Kim Jong Un too?
