You Gotta Love Tottenham
Or maybe not.
Just weeks after Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan complained about being short changed over the transfer of teenager John Bostock now it is the turn of Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy to get upset.
The sale of Robbie Keane has left him whinging and moaning despite banking the best part of 20 million quid.
He is moaning about the way Liverpool approached the player and the way the irish striker requested a transfer.
"I have already made my opinion clear on this transaction," Levy said. "I don't regard it as a transfer deal – that is something which happens between two clubs when they both agree to trade – this is very much an enforced sale."
"I was incredibly disappointed when I first heard not only that Liverpool had been working behind the scenes to bring Robbie to Anfield, but that Robbie himself wanted to go and he submitted a transfer request to this effect."
"They have apologised and agreed to make a donation to our club's main charity. Tottenham has therefore agreed not to pursue its official complaint to the Premier League."
So he was disppointed that Robbie wanted to leave his 'beloved' Spurs? Aah bless...
As well as donating to Tottenham's main charity, whatever that maybe, it is also believed Liverpool will hold a minute's silence before their first home game of the season and Rafa will write out a hundred times 'I must not sign players who want to play for Liverpool' 100 times and post it on the club website.

you weren t but perhaps palarse were. rather than pay a going rate you appealed and the transfer ended up like some scene in a market where a rich bitch quibbles over a few coins which mean nothing to her but plenty to the seller
shows a real lack of class
