Rules won't stop tap ups

Spurs have used section K of the Premier League rule book before when they were upset with Manchester United’s chase for Dimitar Berbatov.

The outcome was that Berbatov went to Old Trafford.

The main reason for section K is that it allows the unhappy club to extract the best-possible deal for their player.

If Chelsea really want Modric they will get him, despite what Spurs chairman Daniel Levy says.

It’s the way it’s always been. I once acted as a go-between for a top manager who wanted to sign a player under contract at another club. I asked him if he fancied a move and brought the two parties together. The player signed.

Would I do it again? Yes, probably. For no other reason than to help a friend and the fact nothing is really done.

Football doesn’t appear to care.

Spurs have two choices. Keep an unhappy player or sell him once the price is right?

We all know what eventually happens.

This just popped up on news now, I know it's from a terrible paper but I can't believe the nerve of the author Brian Woolnough in admitting that he acted as a middle man in an illegal appoach for a player. I wonder how much money he made out of that one?

 

[Dare!]

Is he the twat on Sunday Supplement? How the fuck has he got away with this?

Surely Levy will send this to the FA and they are duty bound to investigate?

Although I doubt they have power to force him to comply unless they issue criminal proceedings, which they surely wont. Hence how he can get away with it. Embarrassing all round. It's amazing the Star could fall any lower.

Ribeiro also took time to have a dig at Chelsea over their previous attempt to land the 19-year-old.
"Last year, Chelsea's attitude was different. Their first action was to seek out the player's representatives," he stated.

Another example of a tapping up attempt and it's no surprise that it's Chelsea's name being mentioned again.
