People will find out eventually what the terms were even if the clubs don't announce it publicly because Tottenham, and I'd assume Chelsea, are both plc's meaning they have to publish their financial records.

Who is MVB???

[Paddington Spur]

Marc Van Bommell, who's just signed for Barcelona. Another nearly man who Spurs had been courting for about a year. Apparently the bust up was over whether or not to sign him.

chelsea are not a plc and part of the contract was that the details will never be mentioned....probably to spare levy's blushes.

[Paddington Spur]

That's a possibility, but we are a plc and the amounts have to be made public.

[daz90]

Yep it will show up in our books so the amount chelsea forked out will be made public anyway.

ask a woman if she'll sleep with you for a tenner
you'll get a slap
ask the same woman if she'll sleep with you for ten million
and you'll get a very different reaction
