According to Alasdair Gold, Tottenham Hotspur could potentially be sold by ENIC in the coming 12 months.
The Spurs correspondent was speaking on his latest YouTube video amid the summer transfer window and a recent injection of cash into the club.
It was announced just a few weeks ago that ENIC had made £150m available to be spent on transfers this summer if needed and it has been revealed that £100m of that has already been activated.
However, in the small print, it is claimed if the cash injection is to be used in full, ENIC’s shares in the north London club from 85.6% to around 87.5%.
And with this in mind, Gold has provided some insight on the noises surrounding the future of ENIC in N17 with the journalist believing the club’s value to be at an all-time high:
“The club will always deny that there is no intention to sell. That’s pretty much what they always say. I hear little noises. Look, I hear talk that potentially they could look, they could choose to sell within the next year because from a financial point of view, it’s probably going to be peak value time for Tottenham Hotspur as a club.”
“So yeah, that’s what I’m hearing, if there were a time that they might choose to sell, potentially, that would be in this next 12-month period or so because it will hit peak value time.”
TIF Thoughts on Gold’s comments…
There will likely be a lot of fans who will love to hear this from Gold given some have shown their frustrations with the club’s owners.
Do you want ENIC to sell up?
Yes
No
On the other hand, there may be some who would be happy for ENIC to remain put if they were to make this type of financial boost available on a regular basis.
However, there may certainly be some cynical fans who feel this cash injection is simply a ploy by the Spurs owners to reap the rewards if they come to sell the club.
