Summary:


Tottenham owner, Joe Lewis, has been indicted in America for his alleged involvement in an insider trading scheme. The charges have raised concerns about the ownership and future of the football club, but Tottenham maintains that the legal issues surrounding Lewis won't impact the club's operations.


The indictment against Joe Lewis stems from allegations of insider trading, where he is accused of giving tips to some of his employees and providing them with financial assistance to invest in companies based on non-public information. Enick, the company that owns Tottenham, was run by a trust led by Lewis, who allegedly stepped down from his role in October 2022.

The soccer community is closely watching the developments, as there may be implications for the Premier League. Some speculate that the league might need to conduct a retrospective investigation into potential financial infringements that occurred while Lewis was the owner of Tottenham Hospital Limited.

Despite the legal challenges, Tottenham FC asserts that the situation will not affect the running of the club. They remain confident that Joe Lewis' legal matters won't hinder the team's performance or operations.

There have been rumors about the potential sale of Tottenham for years, with other major European clubs believing that the club may be up for purchase. The recent developments with Lewis' indictment have sparked further speculation about the club's ownership, with some wondering if the sale of the club is imminent.

As the legal process unfolds, Joe Lewis plans to contest the charges strongly in court. The Premier League, on the other hand, may need to decide how to handle the situation once the legal proceedings in the US are concluded. Until then, the future of Tottenham's ownership remains uncertain, and the football world awaits further developments.


With Joe Lewis' legal battle set to continue, the fate of Tottenham's ownership and potential sale remain uncertain. The soccer community will be closely monitoring the situation as it unfolds.

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction?

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction? I'm joined now by the former senior military intelligence officer, Philip Ingram. Good to see you again, Philip. Now, of course, Russian forces have made some advances in recent days in Bakhmut, but on the whole, there's been very little movement on the front line in recent weeks and months. Why is that? Yeah, well, exactly. Day 374 of Vladimir Putin's 10-day Special Military Operation. And the Russians, we keep talking about this spring offensive. They're probing the front lines in different places. Bakhmut will more detail that in a moment, but further north, up around Kramina and in the south, around Donetsk, they're trying to see where their weakness is in the Ukrainian defences. And they're not really finding any. The things that are influencing at the moment, the weather, the ground is softening up. ...

Why the world was wrong about Putin | Analysis People are packing up in their cars. They're getting out of here. A few days before I found myself standing there on the edge of Kharkiv, watching those first tank shells hit into the apartment blocks in Saltyvka, my editor, Louis Emmanuel, had asked me to come up with something to be published on the day of the war, if the war began, explaining to readers why this was happening. And I was hoping it would never be published. It was, and the answer I came up with was, probably in the simple balance of power. I quote it, Russia's military is at its strongest and most capable since the Cold War. Its public finances are also in good order, and Mr Putin may believe he is well placed to bear the costs of the conflict and inevitable sanctions. We'll come back to that in a second. The West is conversely at a moment of historic econo...

Ukraine War: What missiles have Russia fired?

Ukraine War: What missiles have Russia fired? I mean, he caveated his remarks so that he wasn't departing from the official government line, which is that Ukraine makes the calls here when Ukraine's ready, then Ukraine may negotiate. But the fact that he, that comment we were taking out of context, and people will say that Rishi Sunak believes that there has to be a negotiation at, so at what point are we going to lean on the Ukrainians to negotiate? And I think that in Kiev, I think it won't be very, they won't welcome the fact that he said it. It's also, it's just not true that all wars end at the negotiating table. It's a line we've heard from the beginning, right from the start. People should read a book occasionally. The Second World War did not end in negotiation. One of yours perhaps. Yes. The First World War did not end in a meaningful negotia...
