yes, bollocks.
That is the most blatant bollocks I've read yet. There is no way in the wide world they would do that.
today is soon going to be over, more bollocks from the Mirror.
What do you mean? Basically we're paying £28m but the press are passing this off as compensation, and Levy will probably say the same thing.
Sounds like something a delusional Spurs fan would lap up from Mr Levy.
is berbatov going to play against chelsea tomorrow? I hope he does and scores a hatrick... that will be even bigger than he coming to OT.
IMO, we would never, ever, put in a clause that came close to being an admission of guilt. Especially considering we are still in the middle of a tapping up hearing.
The fee may be correct, but if Levy incorrectly claims some of it is in settlement of the tapping up claim, then he will likely find himself in court.
I very much doubt that. If that were the case then how come Liverpool did nothing about his claims of compensation?
It's not us admitting anything. It's Levy's way of saying he was forced to let them leave and so he was compensated accordingly.
Because those claims were true.
Are they any more true about them than they are about us?
Well yeah, of course they are - seeing as those claims came from Levy and actually happened where as it's merely newspaper speculation in our case.
How do we know that Liverpool actually did tap up Keane though, any more than we've tapped up Berbatov? It could just as easily be newspaper bollocks too.
I don't know, perhaps they were guilty? Or perhaps they caved in and decided to ignore it? I don't imagine the circumstances of the alleged tapping-up were the same in either case.
How can paying three million in compensation for the "tapping-up" element be anything but either an admission of guilt, or us simply wanting to get rid of the matter by buying off the problem?
If the latter is the case then it will be clearly stated in the contract that the money is not an admission of guilt. The club simply will not let it be said that they are in any way guilty unless they actually are. And in that case, I presume they will make a donation like Liverpool did, rather than pay well over the odds as a punishment. They won't allow their good name to be questioned just to sign a player, of that I have no doubt.
haha, that would be brilliant. after the the third goal he then rips off his spurs shirt to reveal a united one and runs up the motoroway to join us.
Benitez talked about wanting to sign Keane in a televised press conference. Videotape of that was all the evidence Spurs needed. All they had on United was a photocopy of the story in The Sun with the dodgy quotes from Fergie. That's why the PL have told them to go off and find some real evidence.
It's only GlastonSpur and his like who thought there was hard evidence of tapping up, like secret videotape of clandestine meetings between Fergie and Berbatov
I can promise you that Liverpool would have denied the stories about them paying their way out of the tapping-up case, if they weren't true.
How you can even compare that to us, where the only evidence of us paying our way out of the deal, is a single line made by a journalist from The Mirror.
There's quite the difference.
Is Alan Nixon a liar?
We're not paying three million in compensation, we're paying £28m and the Mirror used sensationalism to make it out that some of it is just a settlement on our part, when really we just think he's worth £28m.
When this whole saga is over, one way or the other, I reckon we should compile a list of the rubbish journos who lied when the said a deal had been done over the last month.
There may be less evidence, but the fact is it's highly likely we have tapped up Berbatov, because every player is tapped up in one way or another. If Levy does indeed come out with some bollocks about compensation, I think Fergie will just shrug it off and say something along the lines of 'he can say whatever he wants', because he just won't care. I'm not sure the courts would care too much either.
So, what's the news?
Although I can read websites and the like, any breaking news on TV will not get anywhere near this end of the world.
From what I read yesterday, we were hopeful the deal would go through today (last night for me). What's happened?

Custis is not on that list so it can't be used as a list of lying journos!
Right. Well then why are you arguing with me when all I said was we aren't going to be paying £3m in compensation(see post #14528)?
Nowhere have I said that won't be the fee. What I am saying is that unless we are guilty of tapping up, nowhere in the contract for sale will it say £3m of the fee is compensatory-unless we give it without admission of liability. You can quote me on that if I'm proven to be wrong.
That's the whole point of our conversation: Levy hasn't said anything, no one has, only the Mirror - and that's why the two cases are not comparable.
Fcuk all really. More bollox and mind numbing tedium
It's what you can prove is important, not what actually happened. And I would bet that SAF/the club would win any defamation action he brought if Spurs couldn't substantiate what they are saying.
Darn, should have known he would never be on any official lists over writers, I'll see if wikipedia's got a list over English Bullshitters instead.
I see. I never really understood where the argument was going or what it was about. I'm having a slow day.
You're talking out of your arse. A fairly hairy one, I might add.
( I know im crap at photoshopping, im trying to learn though.)
BERBQ
