Ornstein Speech To Clear Romours About Sheikh Jassim not buying Tottenham

It has been speculated for months and months that Sheikh Jassim will not be purchasing Manchester United.

At this moment, the Qatari has withdrawn from the competition to buy Manchester United, and it appears that Jim Ratcliffe will instead join the Old Trafford minority investor group.

Of course, it’s not very often that one of the richest men in the world doesn’t get what he wants, and there has been plenty of speculation around whether or not the Sheikh will now go in for another Premier League club.

Daniel Levy has recently been very open about the fact he’d welcome investment at Tottenham, but speaking on Five, David Ornstein has been told by people within the industry that Sheikh Jassim will not be purchasing Tottenham in the near future.

Ornstein shared what he knows about Spurs’ future.

“From people I speak to around the industry, they do not expect that to be Tottenham if they do go again. Unless things change, and things do change in this industry, I wouldn’t put much emphasis on that one,” Ornstein said.

Next stop?
It seems unlikely that the Qataris will buy Tottenham anytime soon, but Sheikh Jassim will undoubtedly still be looking to buy a football team.

This kind of prospective investment is not something you just give up on. Being a multibillionaire, he obviously desires the prestige that comes with owning a premier team.

It sounds like it won’t be Tottenham, but there are a lot more fish in the Premier League and elsewhere.

Sheikh Jassim is undoubtedly a person we should be watching in the upcoming years as the dynamic field of football ownership continues to change.
