7 Most Ridiculous Spurs Rumours That Never Happened

7. The Cain Hoy Takeover

A very recent rumour that is still ongoing, but which is showing no signs whatsoever of having any real substance, is the one that US private investment company Cain Hoy are apparently considering a takeover offer for the North London club. Despite the facts that the group are backed by billionaire investors and their co-founder Todd Boehly is co-owner of baseball side LA Dodgers and part of investment fund Guggenheim Capital, it seems like the rumours are nothing more than that and White Hart Lane insiders are seriously questioning the whole thing. They say that they can't see any reason why sensible investors would consider making an offer for the club while issues over the construction of the proposed new stadium are yet to be resolved. Huge investment has gone in to a project that is still up in the air and could be leaving the club without a ground for a season or two in the near future. Club insiders also have an inkling that the interest could be nothing more than a publicity stunt by a company that was only formally formed a couple of weeks ago, as a means of raising their profile. Jonathan Goldstein, Cain Hoy's Head of European Investment and a Spurs season ticket holder, is said to be leading the bid, but his links to the club are also suggested as being a tedious reason for the rumours to have started.
