You must be able to, Nice's owners are trying to buy us.

Controlling interests in two separate clubs is not allowed in UEFA competitions. If you and Nice both qualified one team would have to sit out.

Also owns Watford.

i didnt include watford because theoretically watford is owned by his son. he also sold granada to china.

That's very different from what you first said.

Yes that would be ok. But I doubt they would be happy to not have control at Spurs or any club they own.

like most things i'm sure they would find a work around.

This is a serious question I just dont get. Why do keepers prefer to play the ball with there feet and increase the risk of screwing up when they can just pick it up + boot it wherever they want?

To retain posession of the ball.

 

[Magma]

retain the ball, open up space as the midfield and forwards push up, allow defenders to be able to push up further.

Also not sure how big a football fan you are and if you know all the rules etc but if your own teammates pass you the ball, you are not allowed to pick it up. A goalkeeper can only pick up the ball when it has last come off an opposition player.

How I feel when I realise there is no international break until March!!

Anyone see the FC100 on soccernet? I thought that was a pretty interesting exercise. They ranked the 10 best players in the world by position in the world.

A few Reds made the lists. Clyne, Coutinho, Firmino and Mane.

I noticed a few Arsenal players, Ozil, Sanchez, Bellerin, Koscielny.

Walker, Alli and Kane made it from Spurs IIRC. Cant remember the other big clubs.

They rated the top 10 managers in the world too. They had Mourinho down in 7th which I thought was interesting. The top three were Pep, Simone and Klopp.

We had Bravo, De Bruyne, Silva, Sterling, Nolito, Aguero rated in their respective top 10's.

Mou only disrespects ants like Arsene. He is a very good troll.

Or it becomes a consortium ownership where they hold 30-40% along with 2 other owners. I'm sure they'll find a way around it. Probably start a new company to own the PL club

City, Chelsea and PSG could create the 'Blood money consortium'.

 

[jd2010]

Not sure how I'd feel about joining that bracket of clubs. Would love it if we still kept on the same path of investing in youth but instead of unheard of youth like NKoudou more along the lines of Gabigol or Martial.

But would imagine it'd be another case of spending a shit load on the older bigger names

If UEFA finds they are in control of Spurs they can ban them from European competitions regardless of how much they own officially.

So the solution of owning 49% or less on paper but in reality being in charge of running the club is unlikely to work. At least as far as UEFA is concerned.

Hard to prove control with an evenly owned consortium.

Good chance they just start another legal entity to invest in a second football club. No point them buying minority stake or not being able to compete in Europe.

It's an interesting one. There are strict rules on it though and I can't see anyone getting away with having a controlling interest in 2 different clubs competing in UEFA competitions (something likely to happen with Spurs / PSG).

Not a problem for Hull though. They'll never have European football to worry about

I guess some would have said the same of Leicester........

I backed Hull for the title at the start of the season!!

Didn't hull make it when they were FA cup runners up?
