‘I believe’: Cascarino makes claim about the future of Tottenham involving Joe Lewis

Tony Cascarino has claimed that he thinks Tottenham are trying to sell the club and shared that ‘£3.5bn’ has been mooted as a possible valuation, as he told talkSPORT.

Whilst it’s Daniel Levy who sits in the directors box on a weekly basis, it’s the rarely-seen Joe Lewis who owns Tottenham.

Only a couple of seasons ago, Spurs were competing in the Champions League, with one of the most forward-thinking and highly-regarded coaches in the world.

But during that process, Spurs moved into a big-money stadium, and whilst they have moved forward and mordernised the club off the pitch, it’s 1980’s style of football on it and a squad not worthy of competing for the Champions League.

Former Republic of Ireland international Cascarino feels Tottenham’s actions in recent years suggest to him that they are looking to sell.

“I have had this feeling for a while,” said Cascarino. “I believe in this, I think they have been putting the club up for sale. It was muted out last week that they wanted £3.5bn for the club.

“I feel like it’s acting like the club that wants to make the franchise of what they have got, as big as they can.

“Get Boxing on there, American football on and create a stadium to create more revenue. Then sell the club.

“That’s what I think they are doing. They have done so much towards the ground, the infrunstructure and the training ground.

“But the team has suffered, with what they have on the pitch. They aren’t going to get it (£3bn) for the club.”

If Spurs do indeed sell then the potential buyer will have to put serious dough on the table, espcially if they are going to be negotating with Levy.

He has proven during his years in the Tottenham hotseat that he can be as stubborn as anyone in the business.

That was proven by how he dealt with the Harry Kane situatiin this summer and how it was a case of my way or the highway.

Nonetheless, in terms of speculation, nothing suggests that Tottenham are up for sale, but if they were, then it would be music to the ears of the fans, no doubt.
