Liverpool and Manchester United reported to Premier League by Spurs
July 20, 2008
Both Liverpool and Manchester United have been reported to the premier league by Tottenham Hotspur, over their pursuit of the players Robbie Keane and Dimitar Berbatov respectively.
Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, has stated that he expects the capture of Tottenham striker Berbatov to go through in a matter of days. This has angered Spurs, who say they haven’t accepted any offers from either Manchester United or Liverpool.
Daniel Levy, the chairman of Tottenham Hotspur, said of Sir Alex Ferguson:
It is unbelievably hypocritical given his comments in respect of Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid.
The behaviour of both clubs has been disgraceful. We told both clubs very early on that we had no interest in selling Robbie or Dimitar, respectively, and that they should refrain from pursuing the player.
Both clubs arrogantly chose to ignore this request and we now have evidence that both clubs have systematically been working to prise the players away from us, outside of Premier League rules of conduct.
Manchester United have made an offer for the 27-year-old Bulgarian striker Berbatov, but Spurs have not accepted. Liverpool meanwhile have made very public their interest in Robbie Kean.
Levy was particularly angered by Manchester United however, and explained how Spurs have made an official complaint about their conduct.
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.
It is also probably one of the worst offences by any manager in the Premier League to date
As a result, we have today made an official complaint to the Premier League about the conduct of Manchester United.
Tottenham are holding firm over their insistence that they do not wish to sell either player.
