It’s takeover season in the Premier League.
Chelsea have just been bought by Todd Boehly, Liverpool are up for sale and Manchester United look set to finally be sold by the Glazer family.
That’s three of the big six that will potentially be under new, mega rich, ownership this year, and that means that the Premier League will be more competitive than ever going forwards.
Factor in Newcastle’s impending rise to prominence, and it looks like the Premier League is about to become a whole lot tougher.
Of course, this will have serious knock-on effects for every team, and we can’t help but feel that Spurs will suffer from this ownership shuffle at the top of the table.
Indeed, with Newcastle, Manchester United and Liverpool potentially set to receive huge investment, Tottenham’s place in as one of the Premier League’s contenders is at risk.
Spurs themselves could do with new mega-rich owners, but their chance may have been and gone.
Indeed, if Newcastle, United and Liverpool realise their potential under new owners, the top six may become more of a closed shop than ever, and that will surely deter buyers at Spurs.
Of course, there will always be a market to buy a club like Tottenham, but if they do, as we predict, fall behind the likes of Newcastle, United, Liverpool and Chelsea once their takeovers are done and their new owners start spending, Spurs will be worth a lot less and will be a lot less appealing to any multi-billionaire investors out there.
ENIC did have the chance to sell the club to LAMF last year for £3bn, and that golden opportunity to cash in for such a high price may be gone now.
Make no mistake about it, new owners are coming to the Premier League, and in this division, money is everything and if Spurs can’t compete financially, they will fall down the table, in turn, becoming a much less appealing club for any future investor out there to spend their capital on.
