Of course it was old harry. Shame that he tained our FA Cup win with this transfer and its part of the reason he's only known as a colossal cunt in Pompey.

This was also part of it and I genuinely hate that man with all my heart. The fact he tells this story as some funny little quip, but also has to lie because all of that for 2 mil doesnt sound as good as 9 mil.
Why's this coming to light only now? Didn't anyone notice back then? Or didn't care? But we care now?
It would not surprise me that if an investigating body was given full access to all records and documents pertaining to a club, they would find most if not all clubs breaching rules.
The only thing that would remain consistent is the effort in which they'll go to punish lower league clubs and be asleep for bigger clubs. Not sure why this Spurs thing is coming to light again. I thought this was already known.
Investigation into Chelsea and Man City cheating
Time to punish them
15 second time penalty for Estaban Ocon
Why am I really, really not liking this
I said when all the chelsea threads were popping up that everyone had skeletons and no one wanted to listen.
“What are you gonna do? Take our Audi cup and Walter Tull trophy?” - last words spoken before being stripped of our Audi cup and Walter Tull trophy
wait, didn't Rangers win the WT trophy?
Fuck that, they'd end up taking our Checkatrade Trophy and docking us more points instead...
Force you to rebrand that 2nd place DVD to a 4th place DVD
Don't forget the shared record for most goals scored by an individual in a Premier League game
Honestly I hate tottenham, but this aint really the same thing as chelsea and city are up against
So what I understood is They can be hit with:
a transfer ban
points deduction or
relegation to a lower division
-1 point to Spurs for reasons
-50 points to Pompey cause easier to punish
-5 to Everton cause Defoe has a couple Es in his name
4 game suspension Tom Brady for being "generally aware" of football's existence
I find your terms acceptable.
Don’t forget the obligatory points deductions for Derby, Reading and Wigan
+10 points to City Newcastle and Chelsea because something something money
But I was told E's are good, there was a song and everything!
Ten points to city
If we receive a harsher punishment than City or Chelsea than I’m done with the sport. There’s plenty of less corrupt sports in the world to enjoy.
What am I supposed to do watch bloody cricket
Spurs should be relegated to national league imo
Harry Redknapp's dog to be fined £1million
Seriously though ffs why was this not dealt with at the time.
Because football didn't want to, it was a self governed wild west in a way. Now the government has threatened to introduce an independent regulator so English football is trying to look like its cleaning up its act and doesn't need regulating (it does).
The dog will never financially recover from this...
Would be the most Spurs thing to carry on their good form, win the league and then get a points deduction meaning 2nd place wins it.
Screw point reductions or fines, spurs need some actual punishment so they don't do it again. I say make them rehire Conte on a long term contract, that will truly make them regret breaking the rules
Hey there's no need for that kind of language
UNSUBSCRIBE
That's cruel and unusual punishment. Relegate us two leagues first...
Wenger is too soft low-key everyone else was cheating in some way even spurs but he wanted to moral victory his way to a title
I wouldn’t even call this cheating from spurs, just seems like a deadline day oversight. Spurs are known for having some of the cleanest books in the pyramid.
Let’s be real, the whole league has done dodgy deals. Whether it’s now or way, way back. It’s always been going on.
If the same story comes out about another team or two it is definitely the case of the league trying to bring up enough stories to say look everyone is cheating to get out of punishing City/Chelsea.
Ah shucks I thought we were getting lumped in with everyone else not with city
So now Spurs are guilty of what their fans were shitting on Chelsea for. Relegate them from the league hur hur
Chelsea are being investigated for FFP violation. The claim against Spurs is an unlicensed agent.
We are being investigated for under the table payments to agents. Same as spurs.

Relegate these cheating cunts
Who cares, Defoe and Crouch was a fun duo at Portsmouth. Shame he went back to Spurs so soon. Crouch too for that matter lol
I knew it. Shady shady sods. They took advantage of anything and everything suring that period. I'd love to see someone go to the same level of detail for the begovic and kaboul deals. Somehow we ended up owing spurs as we sold begovic to stoke? Wtf is that?
And this was around the era that Spurs fans were calling into national radio stations demanding their players walk off the pitch whenever refs gave a decision against their team. How ironic that it turns out it was them who were actually getting the favourable treatment.
Why am I really, really not liking this
Not a Spurs fan in the least but at some point there needs to be some sort of limitation on retrospective punishments for historical offences otherwise where does it end? Leeds getting deductions cos Don Revie tried to fix matches? Forest getting deductions cos Cloughie took bungs? Arsenal getting deductions cos George Graham took bungs? It feels like a slippery slope
Dock em some points
well well well
Man city PR team working overtime to drag other teams in this mess
strip them of their titles!
