David Levy, brother of Tottenham chairman Daniel, has been ousted
after living the past 11 years masquerading as a Greek businessman

Rumours surfaced after a bizarre protracted transfer of Nottingham
Forest and England ace Morgan Gibbs-White to Tottenham Hotspur

The brothers, known for frugality, were conspiring together to
deceive supporters by falsifying documents that if proved true,
would have netted the brothers from Sussex an astronomical
fee of £60m

:dembelelol:

I've been on the hunt for a new avatar , with your permission could I use this ?
 
I've just had a message from Imgur telling me one of my images has fallen foul of their TOCs and they've deleted it. But I have no idea which one - and all the fat Greeks nudists still seem to be there lol.

One of my images hahahaha - one!!! Note to self - Must try harder.

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.

I would agree with you there is little chance any of us know how the bid transpired. But in a world where seemingly nothing is secret, it wouldn't be beyond imaging that a rumor about the release clause might circulate which Spurs heard about. Might easily have come indirectly from someone other than the player or the agent. Having heard that, Spurs would have been less than diligent if they didn't try to find out by submitting an offer. Forest had to estimate Morgan-White's value when they signed him and what a reasonable reserve clause might be. I doubt anyone could have guessed the player he was going to become and they set the release clause too low. I think part of the frustration for Forest is they assumed Man City, Woolwich, or Liverpool would ultimately make a huge bid for MGW. They didn't see this coming and are now trying to save face with their fans, which is understandable.

Balance? Balance? You're not adding balance, you're just making assumption after assumption, based on your own personal prejudices - which is something you've come here to accuse my fine fellow fans of.
Don't come here with your hoity-toity airs & graces pretending that you're better than us, because you're not. Fuck off back to your obese Greek alleged criminal, festering in the middle of nowhere, and spout your prejudices there, where you might find a few six-toed idiots to agree with you.

This is all getting pretty fucking stupid from Forrest's point of view.

Just delaying the inevitable and surely wasting their own time.

I think the Forest owner wants to extort some more money than the release clause or make a drama so that no club in the future will trigger a release clause in any of their players. If I was a player or agent though I wouldn’t go near Forest after this, no trust they will respect any contract.
