Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie Rednap apologized live on Sky Sports during Bournemouth’s 3-1 3-1 victory at Fulham on Friday evening. After Daniel Levy left the Spurs last month, Rednap had suggested that Sugar Lord left the club in “complete chaos.”
Redknapp claimed that Levy deserves recognition for leaving the club “in a really good way.” Naturally, Lord Sugar took umbrella with these remarks, dramatically threatening legal action against former soccer players.
“He talks a lot of garbage,” the apprentice star posted on social media. “When Daniel Levi took over the Spurs, Alan Sugar left the club amidst the right chaos, he said.
“He and Skye are hearing from my lawyer on Monday,” Rednap chose to “set the record straight” in his first appearance after speaking out and returning to the station.
“I said Sugar Lord has confused the club,” Rednap said in a football report Friday night. “I just want to make it clear that he has stabilized the club and invested heavily during his time as president.
“When he took over in 1991, the Spurs were close to bankruptcy and by the time he resigned, his financial situation was reflected. He also put a lot of money in his team and facility.
“I am pleased to apologise to Lord Sugar and his family for misunderstanding and arising and setting the record straight.” Following the apology aired on the sky, the 78-year-old turned his eyes to X and responded.
“On September 13th, Jamie Rednap said on Sky Sports that he “disturbed” Tottenham when he sold the club to Daniel Levy,” he wrote to X.
“A further apology also led to a donation of £10,000 to Great Ormond Street Hospital.” As mentioned earlier, Lord Sugar took over control of Tottenham in 1991.
In 1999, former Arsenal boss George Graham delivered the only silverware of his tenure as he won the Worthington Cup (Carabao Cup) after winning Leicester City in the final. The bigwig will then offload the club to Enic Group, which remains the owner of the Spurs today.
Tottenham is currently spearheading a consortium seeking to acquire the club and is caught up in a takeover drama with American DJ Brooklyn Earak. However, the ENIC Group is currently rejecting the proposal it has plans to make.
