ABBA

[jameshunt]

It's just a singular backer - Joe Lewis. He's worth about £2Bn, but about £2Bn less than he was 4 years ago (he was one of the huge losers on Bear Sterns, Lehmans & AIG).

But he's not actually pumped much money into Spurs, outside of buying them in the first place - they've been trading at a profit for the last ten-ish years, tho it's not taken 'Arry very long to turn that into a loss.

Aha. I was under the impression it was a consortium that owned them.

from one angle it is - the owner is actually ENIC (English National Investment Company) who own 84% of Spurs (I think Sugar might still own a little, plus a few others), and Spurs chairman Daniel Levy owns a little of ENIC (5% I think) ... but ultimately it's Lewis who's in charge.

are Abba being signed by spurs?

[FunkyDenz]

Yes. Harry thinks they'll be the perfect complement to the other dancing queens in his squad.

I wonder what odds bookies are offering on Abba playing..?

[Martin Ashford]

I'm not sure that's right - I thought it was the blonde woman* who was stopping it happening; she's basically a hermit.

(* just to confuse things, the dark haired one is now blonde )

I just can't see it happening - they've turned down offers more than once of £1Bn or more to reform, so I can't see them doing Glasto for a small fee.

There have been rumours flying around for the last couple of months tho that a reunion is now lookintg more likely - it's something to do with the blonde having lost all her money to a conman or something, ewhich is making people think she might now be interested in the money on offer.

But this whole story has come about because a bookie is offering odds on them playing Glasto - but with those odds being 33-1, that bookie doesn't really think it's happening.

And nor do I!

The blonde one's name is Agnetha and she had one of the very best arses in music. I actually went to see ABBA The Movie on my own once just to look at her arse - FACT
