    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.

    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.

    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

    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’s this coming to light only now? Didn’t anyone notice back then? Or didn’t care? But we care now?

    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?

    I said when all the chelsea threads were popping up that everyone had skeletons and no one wanted to listen.

    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
