Tottenham Hotspur could be a potential target for a takeover bid from Sheikh Jassim, according to finance expert Kieran Maguire. After withdrawing from the bidding process for Manchester United, Sheikh Jassim might turn his attention to Spurs, which Maguire considers an “incredibly attractive” club.
Sheikh Jassim reportedly offered over £5 billion for Manchester United, an offer that was rejected by the Glazers. As a result, Sir Jim Ratcliffe is now the favorite to complete a deal for the Manchester giants.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy previously stated in September that the club would entertain “serious propositions” to buy the club. Maguire believes that while Tottenham isn’t actively up for sale, potential bidders like Sheikh Jassim could express soft interest.
Maguire noted the ongoing uncertainties surrounding Joe Lewis, Tottenham’s current owner, and suggested that the club could be open to mergers and acquisitions. He also pointed out that Tottenham possesses several attractive features, including a top-tier stadium, a strong coach, attractive football, a London location, and a growing commercial profile.
While Maguire doesn’t anticipate an immediate takeover, he suggests that Spurs could be on the radar of potential investors like Sheikh Jassim, who may have been deterred by the tough negotiations they experienced with the Glazers at Manchester United.
In conclusion, Tottenham Hotspur’s attractive qualities and the uncertainties surrounding the club’s ownership make it a possible target for investors like Sheikh Jassim, although any takeover would likely involve careful negotiations with the club’s chairman, Daniel Levy.
