And this was around the era that Spurs fans were calling into national radio stations demanding their players walk off the pitch whenever refs gave a decision against their team. How ironic that it turns out it was them who were actually getting the favourable treatment.
Why am I really, really not liking this
Not a Spurs fan in the least but at some point there needs to be some sort of limitation on retrospective punishments for historical offences otherwise where does it end? Leeds getting deductions cos Don Revie tried to fix matches? Forest getting deductions cos Cloughie took bungs? Arsenal getting deductions cos George Graham took bungs? It feels like a slippery slope
Relegate us because of the 1919 promotion
I knew it. Shady shady sods. They took advantage of anything and everything suring that period. I’d love to see someone go to the same level of detail for the begovic and kaboul deals. Somehow we ended up owing spurs as we sold begovic to stoke? Wtf is that?
Of course it was old harry. Shame that he tained our FA Cup win with this transfer and its part of the reason he’s only known as a colossal cunt in Pompey.

This was also part of it and I genuinely hate that man with all my heart. The fact he tells this story as some funny little quip, but also has to lie because all of that for 2 mil doesnt sound as good as 9 mil.
Man city PR team working overtime to drag other teams in this mess
Why’s this coming to light only now? Didn’t anyone notice back then? Or didn’t care? But we care now?
It would not surprise me that if an investigating body was given full access to all records and documents pertaining to a club, they would find most if not all clubs breaching rules.
The only thing that would remain consistent is the effort in which they’ll go to punish lower league clubs and be asleep for bigger clubs. Not sure why this Spurs thing is coming to light again. I thought this was already known.

Force you to rebrand that 2nd place DVD to a 4th place DVD
Don’t forget the shared record for most goals scored by an individual in a Premier League game
Fuck that, they’d end up taking our Checkatrade Trophy and docking us more points instead…
