Former Tottenham player Ramon Vega has tweeted to hint that he’ll ask billionaire Elon Musk to buy the club from Daniel Levy and Joe Lewis.
What’s the story?
Well, we believe Vega may be joking, although it’s hard to tell.
The 50-year-old tweeted after hearing that Musk’s Tesla company had joined the trillion-dollar club.
As a result, his net worth rose to $288.6bn, which equates to £210bn.
Simply put, Musk could buy Spurs, and it wouldn’t even leave a dent in his fortune.
Vega also suggested that the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium naming rights go to Tesla.
You can see what Vega – who made 73 appearances for Spurs – tweeted in full below.
Nobody has any idea how Musk would do in charge of a football club, but he surely can’t do worse than Levy and Lewis are right now.
Forget Elon Musk – will Daniel Levy ever leave?
For those of you desperate to see Levy and ENIC shoved out of N17, you may be waiting a while.
The Athletic’s Tottenham correspondent Jack Pitt-Brooke revealed that, even if ENIC sold their share, Levy would still stay on as CEO under the new owners.
Pitt-Brooke added that Levy and Lewis are very close, and there is no real prospect of Tottenham being sold anytime soon.
Given the way things have gone over the past three years in particular, that is bleak news for Spurs fans.
There is a distinct lack of joined-up thinking at Boardroom level.
Players were signed to fit Mauricio Pochettino’s style of football, only for two managers who have vastly different approaches to arrive in José Mourinho and Nuno Espirito Santo.
There also doesn’t seem to be much of a transfer strategy, with many failures in the market such as Davinson Sanchez, Matt Doherty, Vincent Janssen, Roberto Soldado and others.
We could go on.
Hopefully, Levy and Lewis start to behave like owners of a football club soon, instead of treating Tottenham solely as a heartless business.
