Levy Channelling His Inner Arthur Daley?

By The Boy -

Bruno Fernandes: The postscript.

OJogo (amongst many) are carrying the transcript of an interview with the Presidente of Sporting CP, with his version of events, surrounding the abortive transfer of young Paulo to Spurs, this summer.

Fred, the CEO at Sporting is alleging that Levy offered him jam tomorrow, in order to pad out an offer, which was otherwise rather light.

We had bids, lots of polls, but the only serious bid was 45 million from Tottenham, plus 20 million for goals that were to win the Premier League and Champions,”

Frederico Varandas

I put his in italics, because I’m not inclined to believe him.

Some Italians have a predilection for building their part somewhat. I observed this during a conventional career of several decades in the rag trade.

A notable example was a colleague of mine who once spent 15 minutes speaking over the phone to a man in a factory in Naples, who, in great English, earnestly assured my friend that the order in question had been shipped the week before.

Nothing ever arrived, and we were much later advised by the UK agency that the guy on the phone was either a security guard or a cleaner, as that facility was always completely shut down for the whole of July and August.

The only serious bid being €20million shy of the asking price is not a very serious bid. It’s a bid which appears in fact, to be smirking quite a lot.

A light bid doesn’t make for a tale a deering-do by an owner, does it?

The agenda pushing continued today on the radio where they report the Chelsea woman selling out Stamford Bridge……with no mention of the fact its free to get in. A PR stunt taking advantage of no football during international break to try and over sell the popularity of the woman’s game. I couldn’t believe what was hearing as this girl was moaning about “having to go to report on Grimsby v Crewe and missing the Manchester derby(ladies, but she just called it that). Clearly there’s no real interest in football there, and there was a clear disregard for the rest of the English football pyramid in general. Again, they don’t care about football, just pushing this lie. Kept talking about ” household names” of the woman’s WC squad. I could walk round town, any town and I bet 99% of people couldn’t name 3 of them, as shown on recent quiz on soccer AM when these 2 lads were crushing it and got all the questions right till the last one….”how many goals did so an so score in the woman’s WC for England….(the top scorer, I can’t even remember)….they looked at each other puzzled…..”dunno…didn’t watch any of it”.

Woman playing football, whatever , do what you like, but this agenda is insidious and a joke.
