There must be a tabloid journalist or two amongst our ranks on this site.

If so, can I please be allowed to say that I think your chosen career places you only slightly higher than rapists, murderers and child sex offenders in the moral heirarchy of the world.

That you get paid to deliberately lie and distort the truth with seemingly little in the way of punishment coming your way when you are caught doing so, is one of the great injustices in our modern society.

Do the world a favour and kill yourself, right now, you won't be missed and the world will be just a little bit brighter for your passing. You are nothing more than immoral, disgusting, twisted manipulators of the public conscience.

What gets me is I've always had soft spot for Spurs Half my family support United the other half support Spurs I've always thought of them as our London branch I loved them in 80's when i first got into football Ossie and hoddle and waddle were one of the few plus points in shit decade for english football and I can see that they don't want to lose Berbatov but if they had got two or three quality players in the 3 years since berbatov signed instead of throwing money around like confetti hoping some of turns out well, sacking the best manager they've had in 20's for a bad few bad results maybe his best players wouldn't want to leave. Anyway from what I can see Berbatov and his agent have been trying to engineer this move since the day he strolled into white heart lane. Maybe Spurs should aim their anger at them
 
Ferguson claims his remarks were misreported by a national newspaper and that United may now bring in their legal team.

Speaking after the 1-1 draw against Kaizer Chiefs in the Vodacom Challenge in South Africa, he said: "It is going to be very embarrassing for them (Tottenham).

"But you know what Daniel Levy is like. He is different."

He'd be better of trying to claim that his comments were misreported by the MUFC officially-endorsed Norwegian fanzine, since this is where the Sun obtained these quotes.

It will be be an interesting spectacle: MUFC in a lawsuit against one of it's official fanzines.

But these Fergie quotes are a sideshow in any case. The real substance is the allegation of tapping up, which has nothing to do with Fergie's quotes..

The whisper is that Levy has substantial, documented evidence - written, taped and filmed - and is going to nail both clubs (Liverpool and Man. United) to the wall over this.

I say again, those who think Levy's allegation is focused on - or depends on - such a flimsy basis as Fergie's quotes as relayed in The Sun from Norway, are living in a fantasy world. Levy does not make such statements without being totally sure of what he's doing and he will have taken top class legal advice before proceeding.

:lol: Seems like you chairman is widely known to be as crazy as you are!!!

Wait until this all comes out, and your chairman has to publicly apologise for attacking Fergie based on dodgy quotes in The Sun!!

You think when The Sun come out and say they got the quotes from a United fansite in Norway via Redcafe that everyones going to think they are "public comments".

:lol:
 
"Today's public comments by Manchester United's manager, announcing that he has made an offer for Dimitar and is confident that the deal will go through with time working in their favour, is a blatant example of sheer arrogance and interference with one of our players," said Levy in a statement on the club's official website.

"It is also probably one of the worst offences by any manager in the Premier League to date and is unbelievably hypocritical given his recent comments in respect of Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid.

So big man Levy is taking on Anfield and OT, eh? with 'secret' 'evidence'? Wow! what a star. Well, Calderon aint done it so I don't rate your wonderboy's chances too high.

A few hours have passed since this morning and obviously the following still hasn't yet sunk into your brain:

1) The tapping up allegation has precisely nothing to do with Fergie's quotes. Any stupid manager can make any stupid comment to the media, but it doesn't constitute tapping up. Do you even know what the the phrase "tapping up" means? I seriously doubt it based on your dense responses so far.

2) An interview given to a fanzine and then published on the internet constitutes public comments - it's not a private, off the record conversation.
 
what proof do you have we tapped up Berbatov without your permission? all Fergie said was we bid for an unknown player.

As I perfectly proved earlier, you're been attacking Fergie on this website for the comments in The Sun. It's the only "proof" you can cling to for your tapping up allegations.

Now that you see what a bad move it was to trust The Sun you're wildly hoping your chairman has some "secret" evidence to back up his attack.

Look at the opening paragraph from Levys statement in bold above.
That's a disgusting attack on the integrity of Alex Ferguson based on quotes in The Sun that nobody will trust when they hear that The Sun got them from the norwegian Redcafe.

You're really wearing out your welcome around here with your brainless attacks on SAF.

The level of naivety from some posters on this forum astounds me sometimes.
 
Bloody hell!

Its not like this is about a player who Tottenham have said is under contract and definitely not for sale anyway.

Pointless posturing by Levy, if I was a Spurs fan I would still be pissed off.

Didn't Ramos say his team were open for bidding on, recently?

All I can say is that Levy better have some bloody good evidence to be making such a bold statement.

Of course he has solid evidence!

Yes, I've criticised Fergie for his reported comments - the words stupid, arrogant and hypocritical spring to mind - and so have several MUFC fans.

First off they are not 'my' tapping up allegations. They come from the Chairman of THFC.

Secondly, it seems you'll never be able to grasp the simple fact that Levy's anger at Fergie's comments is simply the straw that broke the camel's back and is entirely separate from Levy's allegations of tapping up and the evidence he cites, so I hereby totally give up trying to din this easy distinction into your dense brain. I can only suggest that you read Levy's statement properly and then refer to 'tapping up' in a dictionary of modern-day phrases.

It's not 'secret' evidence - it's evidence that will shortly be in the hands of the Prem. League. Nor is it a question of my 'wild hopes' - I'm simply relaying what is being whispered. Take it or leave it - but we'll all find out soon enough.

Are you sure it's not your wild hopes that all this simply revolves around a misreporting of Fergie's comments? If those are your hopes then you're in for a rude shock.

It's not the norwegian Redcafe - its from an interview given by Fergie to an official MUFC fanzine, and a major fanzine at that so I'm told.

As I've said already, if the comments are untrue then I expect to see the club suing one of its own fanzines ... don't hold your breath.

:lol: They don't have to sue any United fanzine. They just sue The Sun for printing the quotes and then let them tell the world if they dare that they got them from a norwegian fansite via Red Cafe and not from the mouth of Alex Ferguson. I see you're suddenly a big supporter of this website!!!! If The Sun claim that they are regular readers of norwegian MUFC fansites then it'll be even funnier!

And then United sue Levy for defamation of SAFs character based on a quote from a notoriously unreliable tabloid.

Lovely!!! :lol:
 
Just an appeasement by Levy to the public and fans alike.

Remember Bayern Munich? The dialogue has been ongoing for a while now. Different clubs and a variant of the scenario.
 
Glaston you know when this is all over you will be our next caf laughing stock. Just don't go commit suicide after we've had our fun. A shame too spuds are the team who's style i admire most after utd....

regardless of how midtable you are :lol:
 
Glaston / Spurs.

The tapping up issue and evidence is something both sets of fans can only speculate about right now. Publicly, United haven't really done anything wrong, no names were mentioned. Anything else that has gone on probably goes on in most transfer deals. Ferguson must be confident saying Spurs are going to be embarrassed. Or arrogant?

And that whole fanzine stuff is a load of bollocks and you know it - they even pulled it off their sites within half an hour. Yeah sure Ferguson went to some Norwegians and spilled the beans... The same made up quotes published by Custis in The Sun of all papers. ( Have you seen the Darren Huckerby Video - according to the internet!? )

Then he comes out with such stinging criticisms against Ferguson claiming it as the worst offence by a manager to date? I don't think he said feck all.

Levy playing the 'I did everything but these cnuts have come in and took them away from me' card, after losing his two best players.

Ferguson is a lot of things and one of them includes being right on this one - the jokes on you.

Levy is handing over to the PL evidence of tapping up - he's said so publicly. He's the chairman of a major EPL club that is widely regarded as being very well run.

I'd like to hear your honest view of what this tapping up evidence might consist of, because surely you can't imagine that someone as bright and capable as Levy is going this far - going out on a limb - only to limply hand in a photocopy of an article in the Sun.
 
Sir Alex threat to sue Spurs chief Levy

Sir Alex Ferguson is threatening to take legal action against Daniel Levy following the Tottenham chairman's fierce personal attack on the Manchester United manager.

Levy had branded Ferguson 'arrogant' and 'hypocritical' in a tapping-up row over Spurs striker Dimitar Berbatov.

Ferguson said: 'I haven't seen his comments in detail, but I am sure our legal people will look at it before I do. It is going to be very embarrassing for Tottenham because they based their complaint on a story in The Sun. I don't know where they got those quotes from but it certainly wasn't from me. You know what Daniel Levy's like - he's different.'

A furious Levy condemned the behaviour of both Ferguson and Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez over approaches for Berbatov and Robbie Keane.

Levy had accused Ferguson of 'sheer arrogance' and said: 'It is probably one of the worst offences by any manager in the Premier League and is unbelievably hypocritical given his recent comments in respect of Cristiano Ronaldo.'

United will push ahead with their efforts to sign Berbatov despite the accusations that they have acted illegally. United are confident they can respond positively to Levy's charges of arrogance and hypocrisy.

Although there was no official comment from the United camp in South Africa for their preseason tour, privately they are seething over Levy's attack, which they claim was influenced by a report alleging Ferguson named Berbatov as a £20million target. United insist they can produce evidence showing Ferguson was careful during interviews not to name the player they had made a bid for.

I don't think we're in too much trouble. Chelsea were found guilty of tapping up and given a suspended 3-point deduction sentence, then immediately made an illegal approach for Frank Arnesen and Spurs mysteriously decided not to press charges.

That's because we forced Chelsea to hand over a lot of money in compensation.

If Levy did have incriminating evidence of Ferguson (bearing in mind Levy has singled him out), from the last 12 months, then why has he waited until now to report it to the League?

Probably because he's angry at Fergie's reported comments and the arrogance and hypocrisy they imply: the final straw that broke the camel's back.

Things have come to a head in other words, and push has come to shove.

No its not the tapping up which is my main gripe here, its the statement he made criticising Ferguson based on made up quotes. Which I wouldn't expect of someone as bright and clever as Levy to do.

About the evidence well like I said in the previous post, I can only speculate about it as there hasn't been anything in the general public. The only sensible thing to do is to wait for the evidence to come out in time. I haven't denied the tapping up either as of yet. Its possible, as many clubs do it, but they normally do so in a clever manner so not to get caught. We shall see about that - Ferguson is as confident about it all as Levy is.
