Welcome back to The Lab, we're talking about a topic that's on every Tottenham Hotspur fan’s mind: the prospect of Daniel Levy selling a 25% stake in the club to a potential Qatari investor.

We sit down with Dan White, a Consultant in Asset Management, to discuss what would this deal mean for the future of Spurs? Could it be a stepping stone toward a full takeover, or is it just a strategic partnership to help the club compete at the highest level financially?

We'll explore the power and influence a minority stake can have, and what this could mean for the club's day-to-day operations, from transfer spending to long-term branding strategies.
