On what planet is referring to Marinakis as 'fat' libellous?

Are you claiming he's not fat? Now THAT would be libellous.

I have to add some balance because clearly SOME of you fellas aren't interested in it & are just resulting in calling our owner fat & commiting libel (the usual tiresome response).

The club would not be complaining if it wasn't illegally triggered, we are not "dragging it out", we don't want to sell him & never had unless it was for stupid money. I know you like to think Levy is the worlds best businessman but we think highly of our owners ability to control deals ourselves, and he is much more popular here than Levy is at your place because of his desire to not allow people to shit on the club.

I think the reality of this situation is Levy has tried to pull a slick one & activate a clause without knowing the fine print of the contract. Levy should have contacted the club & done it by the book, it might work at other clubs where you can poach players but as pointed out above, our owner will act if he thinks he's getting shafted. There was no clause reported until a week ago, and within 5 minutes he had a medical booked.

Nobody knows the fine print in the contract, that is why any technical discussions are pointless. But Forest wouldn't be taking it to the courts out of pettiness. This situation is so rare because things are normally done professionally & by the book. In my personal opinion of how this plays out is Spurs will end up withdrawing their bid as the outcome of an illegal is not worth the bother for you. Sorry to dampen on your parade, but Levy has fucked this up. Not Forest.

The funny thing about this is your owners were stupid enough to put a release clause in his contract in the first place, the brass neck on you to claim that your owners are some sort of business masterminds and they make an amateurish error like that lol

Think you need to check your mirrors mate.
 
No idea why people post Graham Bailey Tribal Football.

As someone else said, he is either the most connected football journalist around, or he's the biggest bullshitter in the world. Let's have a think which one he could be.

What he does, is basically post plausible stuff, that isn't deniable, so it seems like he knows information, but it's just pure frabicated bollocks.

Same reason why you were posting Trix' info during the Ange saga I guess 🤷‍♂️

Course he's a bullshitter.
They all are and the fact they all act like utter twats when questioned proves it.
Throw in the money scam on the site....

Hey, I for one totally believe that some guy on the internet who claimed to have got some gossip from an agent he took out on a boat trip one time many years ago now has a constant direct line to the goings on behind the scenes at Spurs!

I just don't think every single person who claims to be ITK is a bullshitter. 99% of them are. But to think that there isn't some people who are on a spurs forum, because we are all fans, who are connected, is stupid. Do you think everybody who works at Spurs have no mates in real life and they don't hear bits and pieces?

There isn't any prizes for believing or not believing the info. I make my own mind up by what they say. He was adamant early on that Frank was Ange's replacement for example.

Anyway, whatever. Everyone believes what they want.
 
Forest have never, I believe, held up or prevented a transfer before. So the Newcastle deal for Elanga went through. There is something very different that has happened here and although we don't know what these are, there have been some hints. But Forest must think that it's sufficient to warrant this response.
