Levy's Plan

[MartyFunkhouser]

I think levy would have known who he was talking to and what the implications were … if you need a mouthpiece …. Redknapp is your man.

Yeh I suspect it was well timed and executed, no one better to do your work for you, especially as Harry would be none too smart to work that bit out

The above for me clears Levy. Spurs made the move. Mane wanted Liverpool.

Sounds like it, but Levy was always a fall guy for a section of our fans.

That’s been a huge thing that hurt Frank this year
No levy buffer for the abuse

Bruno Fernandes stayed at Sporting Lisbon despite interest from Premier League clubs (Picture: Getty)
Sporting Lisbon’s president Frederico Varandas has revealed that Tottenham’s offer for Bruno Fernandes was rejected over doubts about the club’s potential to win major trophies.


The 25-year-old midfielder was linked with a host of top clubs during the summer following an exceptional 2018-19 campaign but surprisingly ended up staying with Sporting.

Tottenham seemed particularly interested in luring Fernandes away from the Portuguese capital after submitting an offer worth a potential €65m, however, Sporting rejected their approach.


Varandas has since confirmed that Sporting turned down Spurs’ offer as they were unconvinced the club could meet clauses related to winning the Premier League and Champions League.



In an official statement posted to the club’s website, Varandas said: ‘We have managed to hold on to our highest-value player, Bruno Fernandes, and have been able to provide balance and better solutions.

‘We think this group is more competitive and has more quality than last season. It was ‘impossible’ to retain Bruno Fernandes, but we did it.

‘We prepared for his sale by putting a fair price on him, and we had bids, but the only serious offer was from Tottenham and that was €45 million plus another €20m in bonuses for winning the Premier League and the Champions League.

‘Those are difficult objectives, so we chose not to accept. Bruno Fernandes proved to be not only a great player but a great professional and captain. The dignity and responsibility that he has always shown is exemplary.

‘The day I turned down Tottenham’s proposal, I came to the training ground and spoke to him. I told him why I declined the offer and why he would stay here beyond the end of the market and he understood perfectly.

‘In addition, he also understood that the bid they offered us was not fair. He’s not leaving, he’s a Sporting player. Many European clubs want him and we know this is something we will always have to deal with.’

Why do we have to always try to deflect from Mr Teflon. The above is from the official statement released by Sporting. We simply didn't make them a financial offer that they felt was appropriate, 6 months later Manchester United did.

Who would know the details of the transfer negotiation, the chairman doing the deal or the player who only hears if its been accepted or rejected?

None of this is new. The reasons for why that transfer didn't happen have been known for years.
