Thunderbolt in French football! “” Nasser Al-Khelaïfi was indicted on February 5 for complicity in voting purchase and breach of the vote as well as for complicity in abuse of power to the damage of the company Lagardère “Reports the team this Thursday. An indictment which sparked the ire of the Qatari authorities, who threaten to no longer invest in France, in particular with regard to PSG and beIN Sports.
Lately, such a prospect is to be feared for the current economy of French football, already seriously shaken by the freshly open conflict between the Professional Football League (LFP) and the Dazn Ligue 1 broadcaster. It is all the more to fear on the Parisian side where since 2011 we have taken advantage of the pharaonic means of the gas state to build one of the most competitive stables in Europe.
Tottenham temptation
Chance or coincidence, the English press reports this possible Qatarian offensive this Thursday to come to the Tottenham club. After having failed to buy Manchester United – finally sold to Ineos and James Ratcliffe – Qatari investors potentially supported by power would be inclined to gradually buy the 86.91% of shares currently held by the ENIC investment company.
Under the leadership of President Daniel Levy since 2001, the Spurs of Tottenham are not closed to such a recovery. On the contrary. The London club has recently attached the services of the Rothschild group, as a council, to find new investors. A timing that could coincide unfavorably with the eddies observed in France and in Paris in particular.
