Allen at Southampton, Kroenke at Arsenal, the Thai at Citeh, it all adds life to the sector.  Spurs are definitely getting a lot of interest at the present time, up another 5.37% today making 28.57% in the last 2 weeks which is pretty spectacular by any stretch of the imagination.  Spurs have also bought back over 116k shares at Nil Trading Charge which effectively increase's Enic's percentage share.

Should get even more interesting in late September/early October when Enic take up the shares not purchased in the rights issue which was underwritten by Enic.  That will take their holding to around 52%, bringing the time for Levy to sell that much closer (imo).

Newcastle's has gone from 63p to 74p in 2 weeks, Spurs from 84p to £1.08 in the same time.  It'll be interesting to see how they've fared in another 2 weeks time and whether that is reflected across the sector.  There are some, like Newcastle and Spurs, who should always be a more attractive takeover proposition than say Watford or Sheff Utd and their increase in the share price compared to less attractive teams should reflect that.

As does Levy.  None of them have got the money they have today by being philanthropic!
