Good morning.

We moan about the InterLull, but it’s actually been quite eventful. We discovered that football is Clan run and …I was told to remove my blog on those leaked online documents on Arry & the CPS by the Metropolitan Police.

Undaunted, here’s some more dirt for your delectation.

Karren Brady has been banging the hard done by drum with gusto for sometime now. But events in the High Court this week indicate that she may have something to complain about. Brady’s barristers believe that her telephone records were, ‘unlawfully obtained by subterfuge.’ 

At a time where phone hacking is revealed as having been quite commonplace and 100% distasteful –  as well as completely illegal – the public reaction toward this type of behaviour if proved, won’t be good. Nor ought it. Tottenham need to come out of swinging here and distance themselves from activity that might place them in the public mind as feeding from the same trough as West Ham.

Tottenham appear to have smelt a rat in relation to the OS deal and engaged the services of PKF Forensic Accountants. What do they do for a living? Their site is here and so you can draw your own conclusions.

I can cope with a bit of rooting through dustbins, after all nobody’s very likely to phone you up out of the blue and tell you that they are up to no good. But this has all the hallmarks of something deeply unpleasant. West Ham have despite their poker faces been embarrassed by the revelation that – shall we say – the process’ waters were muddied. But does that give anyone who’s interested a green light to break the law? All we know so far is that 2 people were arrested in connection allegations of fraud/spying and both bailed.

Neither Tottenham nor their agents can hide behind a defence of, ‘yeah, but look what we found’ in this matter. Equally it will get very messy very quickly if the finger is pointing an accusing finger at PKF and suggesting that they overstepped the mark. This undoubtedly a shadowy world we’re getting a glimpse of here.  The case continues…

    Anyway what would be on her phone only messages to kermit saying can’t come out tonight have to clean the fridge out it starting to smell like a tramps underpants

    i think we need to distinguish between hacking and fraud to get a copy of her calls. i doubt there was hacking, rather i suspect someone called up and said, i am ms brady and i have lost my last bill cd you send me a copy; ie they would see who she had called rather than interfering with and listening to calls.
    i am sur ethat spurs will say they did not hire pfk to do this (in fact they have) and that pfk will say they sub-contracted and they certyainly did not expect a sub-contarctor do anything illegal etc.

      I’m almost certain that THFC will have an indemnity clause in their contract with PFK and therefore they (PFK) will be liable for all actions they have taken….

      • cyril says:

        indemnity covers fin liability, not criminal and in any event indemnifying for a crime is likely void for being against public policy

    • dancingbarber says:

      Yeah the judge says they were obtained by subterfuge which does not sound like hacking and more like blagging.

      Jsus where do all these words come from ?

  • cb thfc says:

    I’m not too bothered about the public reaction

    I’m deeply concerned by possible FA and Premier actions and also the millions and millions West Ham are likely to sue us for

    Can’t help but wonder if we shouldn’t have just let them have it
