A former Spurs defender has put forward a bold solution in the face of growing fan unrest—urging supporters to take matters into their own hands and consider buying a stake in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Tottenham Hotspur fans have not only had to endure inconsistent performances on the pitch, but they’ve also been left frustrated by matters off it.
The wait for silverware has dragged on for over a decade, and while Spurs have flirted with success, they’ve fallen short time and time again—often in agonising fashion.
There’s a growing feeling that the owners have failed to match the ambition shown by the fans and players. A lack of decisive financial backing is repeatedly cited as a major reason why the club continues to fall short of its targets.
That frustration has spilt over this season, with protests taking place on three separate occasions as fans have ramped up the pressure on Daniel Levy and ENIC.
Ramon Vega urges Tottenham supporters to buy stake in stadium
Before their recent clash against Southampton, Spurs fans turned out in their thousands to protest again and voice their anger—demanding that Levy and the ENIC group step aside and sell the club.
Even after Tottenham grabbed their second goal of the game, chants against the ownership echoed around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, showing just how deeply this dissatisfaction runs.
MORE SPURS STORIES
Now, a former Spurs defender Ramon Vega, has offered up a rather interesting take—encouraging fans to consider buying a majority stake in the club themselves.
The suggestion comes off the back of reports surrounding German side St Pauli, whose fans raised over €27million (around £22.9million) to take control of their stadium. Vega quote tweeted the news, asking Spurs fans if they were ready for that.
The reports state that the model allowed supporters to purchase individual shares, each costing €850 (roughly £721), with €100 (£84) of that going towards fees and contributions.
Supporters were also incentivised with entry into a draw offering prizes like a dinner with captain Jackson Irvine, VIP experiences, signed shirts, and more.
Spurs ownership protests continue as QSI turn attention to Malaga
It’s clear that Tottenham fans aren’t backing down anytime soon. The protests have only intensified and Levy is feeling the pressure—but there’s also been a notable development on the potential ownership front.
Reports have emerged claiming that Qatari Sports Investments (QSI) are in advanced discussions to purchase Spanish side Malaga, who currently play in Spain’s second division.
QSI were also previously linked with a takeover of Tottenham, and while the Malaga news might appear to be a blow, it’s not necessarily the end of the road for a potential Spurs takeover—especially with UEFA’s recent stance on multi-club ownership allowing for some flexibility, at least for now.
Spurs fans will be watching developments closely. But one thing’s for sure—the noise surrounding the ownership isn’t going anywhere.
