July 1, 20232 yr The new manager grew up in Australia, and the big cities in Australia are like distant extensions of what North London and other working class areas of England used to be. Its in the speech patterns of the Australian slang and accent. But the manager grew up in an enclave where football was a huge part of the identity for all the people in his community.

July 12, 20232 yr Farmers League club might pony up some cash if KM leaves, but I don't think Harry cares about playing in France. BM will have to break the £100M threshold to get him, and they're reluctant. Last I saw they were at €90M after add on's. I think he stays for now, maybe he goes if BM raises their offer.

July 25, 20232 yr Did I just watch a deep fake or did Joe Lewis just get indited by the US south district of NY?
July 26, 20232 yr From The Athletic Tottenham owner Joe Lewis indicted for insider trading, giving information to romantic partners and private pilots Spoiler Tottenham owner Joe Lewis has been indicted for “orchestrating a brazen insider trading scheme” that involved passing information to “romantic partners and his private pilots”, United States attorney for the Southern District of New York Damian Williams has announced In news that could have consequences for any potential sale of the club, the 86-year-old billionaire is alleged to have “abused his access to corporate board rooms and repeatedly provided inside information to his personal assistants and his friends” too. “Those folks then traded on that inside information and made millions of dollars in the stock market because thanks to Lewis, those bets were a sure thing.” ADVERTISEMENT According to federal law, a person found guilty of insider trading can be sentenced to up to 20 years in prison. In addition, they may face up to $5 million in fines. It is unclear yet whether the indictment could raise significant issues for Lewis. The Premier League has an owners and directors test which is designed to stop people convicted of such crimes owning a club. However, the 86-year-old ceded official control to Bryan Glinton and Katie Booth in October 2022. Lewis has owned Tottenham since he bought the London club for £22 million in December 2000 and has overseen mixed success. While the club is now regularly involved in the conversations around European spots and has a state-of-the-art stadium and training ground, there has been a lack of trophies and many fans want him to sell. He has been open to offers for some time though has not come close to accepting an offer. What else Williams said “None of this was necessary. Joe Lewis is a wealthy man, but as we allege, he used inside information as a way to compensate his employees or to shower gifts on his friends and lovers. That’s classic corporate corruption, it’s cheating and it’s against the law,” the attorney said. “Laws that apply to everyone, no matter who you are. That’s why Joe Lewis has been indicted and will face justice here in the Southern District of New York.” Required reading ENIC and the long-term future of Tottenham Hotspur ‘It’s like World War III there.

Prosecutors said Lewis exploited his access to corporate boardrooms by passing tips about companies in which he invested to friends, personal assistants, private pilots and romantic partners, enabling them to reap millions of dollars of profit. "None of this was necessary. Joe Lewis is a wealthy man," U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said in a video on social media. "But as we allege he used inside information as a way to compensate his employees or shower gifts on his friends and lovers," Williams continued. "That's classic corporate corruption. It's cheating. And it's against the law." Lewis, 86, who founded the investment firm Tavistock Group, was charged with 16 counts of securities fraud and three counts of conspiracy, for alleged crimes spanning from 2013 to 2021. "The government has made an egregious error in judgment in charging Mr. Lewis, an 86-year-old man of impeccable integrity and prodigious accomplishment," Lewis' lawyer David Zornow said in an emailed statement. "Mr. Lewis has come to the U.S. voluntarily to answer these ill-conceived charges, and we will defend him vigorously in court." Lewis is worth $6.1 billion, according to Forbes magazine. Insider trading has long been a focus of Williams' office, dating to 2009 when a crackdown began under one of his predecessors, Preet Bharara. Lewis was accused of having from 2019 to 2021 passed nonpublic information about companies such as Mirati Therapeutics MRTX.O, Solid Biosciences SLDB.O and Australian Agricultural Co AAC.AX. He was also accused of having from 2013 to 2018 conspired to defraud Mirati, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and investors by using shell companies and other means to hide his more than 20% stake in the cancer therapy company. Prosecutors said that in some insider trading cases, Lewis lent money to recipients of his tips, including in October 2019 when he wired $1 million to two pilots so they could buy more Mirati shares. The indictment quoted one pilot texting a friend that "Boss lent Marty and I $500,000 each for this," and that he thought "the Boss has inside info" because "otherwise why would he make us invest." Both pilots allegedly repaid their loans soon after Mirati announced favorable results from a clinical trial, causing its stock price to rise 16.7%. "Loan payback for MRTX," the second pilot wrote in his records. Lewis is also known for taking a nearly 10% stake in Bear Stearns in 2007, shortly before the Wall Street bank narrowly avoided collapse and was bought by JPMorgan Chase JPM.N at a fire sale price. His losses were estimated at more than $1 billion.

Technically, the rule is just that you can only register 17 foreign players. Still likely means we'll need to move several foreign players.

That was a list of players that were on the team at the start of the transfer season. 3 hours ago, midtown said: Is Joe Rodon considered foreign? Do you have to be English or UK? Yes and No He counts as homegrown because Swansea is under the jurisdiction of the English FA. THOUGH he is foreign. And do you have to be English? No. They just have to come up through an FA governed club academy. There are a number of players that are from the continent that count as English home grown - Pogba and Lukaku come to mind. So the name that you should be surprised to not see is Dier, who is English, but come up through a Portuguese club.
