ENIC’s remit as an investment company is primarily to grow the business, to a point where supposedly, it will then be able to exponentially take Spurs to the top table of world football.
Cynics have suggested that the true aim is somewhat less honourable, even just plain old exploitative – a view that is generally greeted with a rather tired old line about all the cash from the commercial successes eventually being ploughed back into the football side of the business.

Spurs continue to sit rather prettily in the financial stakes, but what truly separates all of these sides is achievement, and for the umpteenth time, what we grown-ups are referring to here is tangible achievement, not vague feel-good moments along the way.
Should Mourinho be allowed to continue to proceed unhindered, Spurs can finally deliver what the club have mumbled on about for so long, and never really come close to actually doing.
