Why Spurs were right.

In my previous post I mentioned that I thought the whole process was a farce. I wish to clarify my comments. What Spurs got out of it was the best deal in the interests of the club. What was farcical was the "cloak and dagger" nature of it all that arises suspicious of who got what from the deal. Reading around the net, ITKs and papers it appears that Spurs did quite well out of it in the end with us receiving around £5 million for Frank Arnesen. Considering he is a man who wanted to leave it is not a bad bit of business. He was never going to work for the club again so we had to maximizee the potential for us. It is also believed that Chelsea have agreed to a deal that they cannot sign anyone from Spurs for the next two years along with Arnesen not being able to begin his work until September 1st. This protectss our interests and our present transfer policies from being interfered with by the Mafia. This is the likely reason for a confidentiality clause to save face for Chelsea. Also whatever figure we do receive will probably be never enough for some people so they want to keep it quiet.

Now I have also noticed that some supporters of other teams are not to happy as I expect they were rubbing their hands together at the thought of Chelsea losing points as this is probably the only way they can get near the title next year. Maybe Spurs should have taken the moral high ground but really this falls with the FA. We had to make the best of this deal and a 6 point deduction for Chelsea wouldn't have affected us too much to be honest. However it is there in the FA rules that they can investigate any matter they wish regardless of whether a club complains or not. This smoke screen put up by the FA saying that they could not act without us complaining was rubbish and was used by the FA to hide behind.

It is not up too a club to govern the laws of the land. We should uphold them but the actual enforcing of the laws should be down to the governing body - The FA. It is the FA who are weak and afraid of Chelsea in what in my opinion would be an open and shut case. The other Premiership clubs should be annoyed with the FA, not Spurs, as they can act without us making a complaint. They have chosen not to.

Also, with regard to Chelsea fans who claim their club is pure and innocent should consider this. If Cheslea were so sure of their innocence they would of happily gone to a FA tribunal and told us to sod off. The Mafia flying back from his holiday for emergency talks and offering us a substantial cash amount to stop us reporting them just goes to show how likely it was they would have been found guiltyy.

If the FA want to stop this happening again they need to use their own rules to investigate this matter further. However it is unlikely they ever will as they are weak.

COYS!
