hawaii Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Aye, Spurs are the guardian's of the game and always play by the rules do they? Anyone care to tell me how Juande Ramos got the Spurs managers job again? Every team in the EPL is at it. Probably every club in the world bends the rules - or does anyone seriously believe Webster didn't know he would end up at Ibrox?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Nonsense Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 According to Fergie, a newspaper made up the quotes attributed to him with regard to Berbatov, and Spurs have thrown the toys out the pram on the basis of some shoddy journalism. Whether this is true or not, the illegal soliciting of players and managers does go on at most big clubs these days... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/7513117.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Sexington Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Actually, Spurs might come out of this looking like prize plums. They're basing their complaint against Man U on quotes in a paper that Fergie denies making. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/7513117.stm Sir Alex Ferguson says Tottenham face "embarrassment" for complaining to the Premier League over Manchester United being linked to Dimitar Berbatov. A national newspaper quoted the United manager as saying he expected to sign Bulgaria striker Berbatov, 27. But Ferguson denied the reports, saying: "I don't know where they got those quotes from, it wasn't from me. "It's going to be very embarrassing for Spurs because the complaint appears to be on the basis of a story in a paper." Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy accused United of being hypocritical, given that the European Champions reported Real Madrid to governing body Fifa because they believed the Spanish champions were publicly courting Portugal winger Cristiano Ronaldo. And the chairman said both United and Liverpool, who reportedly want to sign Spurs captain Robbie Keane, had behaved disrespectfully. Levy said on Friday: "The public comments by Manchester United's manager, announcing that he has made an offer for Dimitar and is confident that the deal will go through with time working in their favour, is a blatant example of sheer arrogance and interference with one of our players." Speaking after United's 1-1 draw against Kaizer Chiefs in a Cape Town friendly, Ferguson added: "It's embarrassing for them but you know what Daniel Levy is like. He's different. "It's something to ask chief executive David Gill about because I haven't really spoken to him about it because I've been preparing for the match."

S.N.T.H. Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Have any of you actually thought about the situation? Sir Alex hasn't said the quotes that were attributed to him. Spurs have gone off the handle over nothing and it'll be proved in due course. There's no way that Real Madrid's ludicrous unsettling pursuit of Cris Ronaldo can be compared to the Berbatov situation, as much as you all hate Man Utd. By the way, United will **** the league again this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seymour M Hersh Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/t/tottenham_hotspur/7514933.stm Man U moan that Ronaldo is getting pestered and they are at it with Berbatov. Ironic isn't it that today Spurs have named 4 players in the media they will go after with the money from the Berbatov/Keane sales. Is that not the same?

kearney19 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Thing is though Sir Alex never said it, think a newspaper edited what he said? Spurs have harrased people before for players and did it with Seville for Ramos, theyre going to look like a bunch of fools when they lose the case.

JyTees Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Seems it's not just Levy who's made a tit of himself. A few clowns clambering onto the "we hate man u" bandwagon on this thread have suffered the same fate. Plums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
