Apparently under this new deal the team in last place will get 65 million or THE SAME AMOUNT CITY RECEIVED FOR WINNING THE TITLE

Was just reading that myself. Total WTF? moment.

Also BT... seriously... BT...

 

[cHodAX]

Fucking crazy money.

 

[Raven]

That's ESPN pretty much dead in the UK isn't it?

No great loss really.

 

[Embattle]

Lets hope that extra money doesn't inflate players wages.

 

[Cerb]

It will. And Directors wages. It will probably do everything but lower ticket prices or anything sensible like that.

 

[cHodAX]

United's value just went up again, we will never be rid of the evil ginger Jewish midget!

 

[Embattle]

It will. And Directors wages. It will probably do everything but lower ticket prices or anything sensible like that.

I think everyone accepted player wages had to increase with the original deal but they've far outstripped the increases in terms of income ever since.

 

[Shagrat]

cool ill be getting some prem games through my bt box

 

[rynnor]

Wow - imagine how much they will put Sky sports up?

 

[Keitanz]

Redknapp has left spurs... Moyes looks like he's going to replace him...

It's not on BBC or anything yet but there are extremely strong rumours about it at the moment... few newspapers reporting it etc.


"@piersmorgan
Hey Spurs fans, re that gap you kept telling me to mind out for in March - I think Harry just fell down it."

 

[Raven]

[soze]

The Twitch rumours are not going away plenty of people saying that it will be announced tonight.

 

[rynnor]

Its on the BBC rolling banner now that Harry has left Spurs.

 

[Shagrat]

madness

 

[Gray]

Moyes staying where he is.

Ty.

Quite funny how i read this 5 minutes ago "It is not true, there is not a chance I will resign. Why should I? I have a year left on my contract." -Redknapp

Hope we can still get Pienaar........

 

[soze]

My Spuds mates are saying that he has been asked to leave as the club was less that pleased with the lack of loyalty he showed the club during the England Manager incident. Then when he said the other day that he would of taken the England Job if offered that was the final straw.

 

[Aoami]

brilliant. just hope he doesn't become a pundit now. back to west ham where he belongs. Scum.

 

[Turamber]

Redknapp has reportedly received a golden handshake of £3,000,000 from Spurs before tax, and £3,000,000 after tax.

 

[Everz]

Hilarious.. .

 

[Ch3tan]

Actually really good news for spuds. Harry did very well for them, no one can deny that, but he never seemed to be developing the club and spends far too much money. They need a manager in that will continue to grow the club and is not just looking for his next pay check.

 

[DaGaffer]

Daniel Levy is a proper arsehole, but Moyes should still go to Spurs. He's wasted at Everton. Of course he may be holding out for a certain job up the M62 instead....

 

[soze]

From an email.

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never turn Spurs into a top four side
Then I spent oh so many nights thinking we could win the league
... I was wrong, now I don’t want to carry on

Cos we were back, into fourth place
We were up there till December, but we’ll never win the race
I should have sold that bloody Friedel, should have dropped him from the team
If I had known for just one second he’d concede more than Derby

So many matches, ended up 2-2
At half time we were winning, then we went and effing drew!
And now I’m twitching while I’m thinking, should I have sold Jermain Defoe?
Woy got the England job, so I’m feeling pretty low

So now I’m gone, I’m out the door
Levy just didn’t want to see me anymore
The discussions were a farce, now I’m right out on my arse
But I’ll survive, I will survive

Yes I, I will survive
Oh, if we’d have had just two more points the CL dream would be alive
But Ledley’s almost dead, Kaboul’s just overfed
But I’ll survive, I will survive

It took all the strength I had, not to fall apart
When I was up before the beak for that tax evasion lark
And I spent oh so many nights trying to book Monaco flights
Cos I can’t read, so BA’s terms are all meaningless to me

And as for Modric, he’s all front
He sulked for half the season, the selfish little . . . runt
I should have sold him to the Chavs but Levy wouldn’t play
All I asked was 10 per cent to supplement my pay

But I, I will survive
Levy wants the Special One because he’s got more drive
I should have gone to Liverpool, can I go back to West Ham?
I know one thing for certain, I’m better than Fat Sam!

I told them all, that I was triffic
Though as I can’t read or write there’s little scientific
Tactics, what are they? And I can’t kick a ball
For three million a year I did basically eff all

 

[- English -]

Looking forward to see Spurs drop 6+ team now

 

[cHodAX]

Sadly they will still be looking for silly money when it comes to Modric. Would not mind seeing United take a punt on Van Der Vaart though if the price is right.

 

[megadave]

I bet he's already been down the job centre to sort out some free cash

 

[megadave]

Funny how he never seems to get on with his clubs chairman, luckily for tottenham levy didn't take any shit and let redknapp run the club into the ground with his terrible transfers. All that money spent to go from 5th to 4th, why do the press love him so much?

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Sadly they will still be looking for silly money when it comes to Modric. Would not mind seeing United take a punt on Van Der Vaart though if the price is right.

You'd be better off with someone who can actually play 90 minutes.
