Lord Alan Sugar: Jamie Redknapp and Sky Sports ‘will hear from my lawyers’ after Tottenham accusation
Jamie Redknapp could have made a real mess after voicing a strong opinion about Lord Alan Sugar and Tottenham.
As a club, the Lilywhites have struggled to catch a break.
Daniel Levy stepped down as Tottenham chairman earlier this month, in a huge shock to fans. He had been in the position for almost 25 years and had become one of the faces of the North London side.
But the Lewis family are focused on Tottenham’s sporting success, and Levy does not seem to come into the picture.
However, the chairman’s exit seems to have sparked a series of dramatic events, starting with Redknapp and former owner Sugar.
Alan Sugar threatens Jamie Redknapp with legal action
Redknapp has continued to provide opinions on Tottenham over the years, and his latest seems to have gotten him into trouble.
Sugar was a part-owner at Tottenham from 1991 to 2001 before he sold his shares to ENIC in late 2000, with Levy becoming chairman soon after.
- ENIC owns a majority of 86.58 per cent at Tottenham
- 29.88 per cent of the club is owned by minority investors
- Levy currently owns 29.88 per cent of ENIC
However, he has called out Rednapp and Sky Sports over comments the former Spurs star made about the former shareholders’ time in North London.
He took to X on Saturday, 13 September where he said: “Jamie Redknapp is a double-barrelled idiot. He talks a load of rubbish.
“He said, ‘when Daniel Levy took over Spurs, Alan Sugar left the club in a right mess’.
“He and Sky will be hearing from my lawyers [on] Monday.”
The businessman ended the post by tagging Redknapp’s father, Harry.
However, Sugar was not finished there. In another post on X, he followed up with: “I am coming after you Jamie Redknapp idiot.”
Tottenham will focus on football
Despite the noise around the club, Tottenham are focused on making this season matter.
Indeed, Ange Postecoglou was sacked by Spurs and replaced by Thomas Frank in the hope that the Lilywhites would perform better in the Premier League.
Tottenham seems to have been vindicated in their decision so far, with Frank taking the top-flight by storm. While the season is long, Spurs will be determined to come out on top by the end of the period.
