Levy fattening the goose before selling.
This has been spouted for the last 10 years at least and has yet to happen. Just like to point out I own 0.0009%, based on Levy saying last years "We have 30,000 shareholders who own approximately 13.5 per cent. We run this club as if it is a public company."
ENIC owns 86.58%
Mr D Levy and certain members of his family are potential beneficiaries of discretionary trusts which ultimately own 29.88% of the share capital of ENIC.
A discretionary trust of which certain members of Mr J Lewis's family are potential beneficiaries ultimately owns 70.12% of the share capital of ENIC.
I've a way to go...

You've kind of answered your own question there.Joe Lewis doesn't own any shares and has not been a Person with Significant Control of the football club since 5th October 22. The Lewis family has a discretionary trust which owns the shares and Joe Lewis is not a beneficiary of that trust.
Doesn't stop people still thinking Lewis "owns" the football club though.

Calm down dear. The transfer window doesn't open for another 2 weeks.
I know it doesn't. I'm talking about the fact that the club thinks Werner is good enough (he isn't) which they'll use to justify not buying someone better.Always the cheap option, ALWAYS.

We;ll need a bigger squad with european football. We tried to just do the league on the cheap last year and got caught out with a lack of players. I don't mind Werner as a winger, releases Son, but needs to do better than 2 goals, 3 assists. Johnson got 5 goals 10 assists
Releases Son to do what? If you are suggesting we need to manage Son's time so he doesn't play so many minutes, I 100% agree. If you are suggesting Werner is the one who should be filling that slot then I don't agree. Son is 31, we should be looking to get a player in that will push him hard for that spot and replace him in a year or two, not a temporary stand-in who as you've pointed out only has 2 goals and 3 assists. I'm not sure why as Spurs fans we fall into this same trap time and time again. The fact is he isn't good enough and we should be actively looking to replace him with someone better, not shrug our shoulders and hope he magically gets better. This is how you end up with the likes of Royal, Dier etc at the club for years and years. This is part of the step change that Ange was talking about, we shouldn't accept mediocrity.
