Unlike Stan Kroenke, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Clearlake Capital, or some of the other major owners of English football clubs, Tottenham's current - and potentially future - situation is very different. As opposed to these groups with extremely rich individuals, there is nobody dominating financially in the same way at Spurs.
Daniel Levy, the chairman, is not bankrolling the club in the manner of Middle Eastern groups at Newcastle, Manchester City, or Paris Saint-Germain if the net is cast wider. Enic Group are the majority shareholder, with Levy as chairman, but the face of the club from this perspective only holds less than 30% of the 87% Enic has.
It is a complex structure. Tottenham are a public company, and as the monetary demands of being involved in an elite club rise to battle the state-owned or private equity-funded rivals, Levy has been honest about the need for additional help.
Many names have been linked with either a full takeover at Tottenham - something Levy has admitted he doesn't want to but hasn't ruled out - including Jay Z, Sheikh Jassim, Jahm Najafi, Liberty Media Corporation, and even the now much-maligned 777 Partners, or simply investing. Just how any of these partnerships would work with Levy has never really had to be made clear.
It is in this world that the emergence of Amanda Staveley as a genuine presence around the club has been noted. Still fresh from leaving Newcastle over the summer following nearly three years as a director, the Yorkshire-born Geordie - a self-prescribed description - has not shied away from the spotlight.
Last week she was seen at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Since having her 10% stake in Newcastle purchased she has openly spoken about getting back involved, almost immediately. She has also been tipped as one of the interest parties in Tottenham But what does this actually mean for Spurs?
As a figure who was central to things in Eddie Howe's Newcastle shakeup, the prospect of having Staveley onboard is appealing. football.londonTottenham correspondent Alasdair Gold says it is 'fascinating.'
For different reasons than just a potential influx of cash, it is both of these things. Just looking at Staveley's estimated net worth will explain why.
The British businesswoman is said to have a value of around £130million, which is massive in the grand scheme of things but relatively tiny compared to those already in the football scene like this. She acts as the investor but is really just a broker.
This is nothing to be sniffed at, but does suggest that far from plunging her own personal money into the club, Staveley will once more be acting as an intermediary of sorts to those who she has a strong relationship with. On that front, there are no shortages.
Staveley is one of the most trusted brokers in the Middle East, owing to her work with City's own Abu Dhabi takeover and a multibillion-pound deal for Barclays over 15 years ago. She was influential in getting the Newcastle deal with serious backing, and could have a similar impact for Tottenham.
As Levy looks for ways to enhance his grand plan - "Combined with stadium revenue, investment would make Spurs a power player," says Gold - bringing in money from sources only Staveley has access to could be hugely beneficial. Because Tottenham have become so reliably stable financially compared to others, an injection really could make a big, notable difference.
This is what Staveley, who now has not only experience and success in sport but also a burning desire to continue, can bring. Her contacts and networking ability have reportedly generated over £28billion in current assets and deals being managed. This is the sort of portfolio a private equity firm might look at and use to invest.
For Tottenham it is something they haven't utilised as much. Staveley might change that.
Although there is a question to be asked of how a dynamic with Levy would work - Stavelely is vocal, visible, and hands on - it is the sort of adaption that the Tottenham chairman appears to be opening himself up to.
