The businessman, who partly owned 'Tottenham' from 1991 to 2001, then wrote in his tweet: “Jamie Redknapp is a two-faced idiot. He speaks rubbish.

“He claims that when Daniel Levy took control of 'Tottenham', Alan Sugar left the club in complete disarray.

“He and SKY will hear from my lawyers on Monday.”

Admission of Error

Three weeks later, Redknapp decided to apologize during the 'Friday Night Football' program on Sky.

Redknapp said: “I stated that Lord Sugar left the club ‘in disarray’.

“I want to emphasize that he stabilized the club and significantly invested during his chairmanship.

“When he became the chairman of the club in 1991, 'Tottenham' was on the brink of bankruptcy, and by the time he left, the financial situation had significantly improved.

“With all the money he put into the team and infrastructure, I apologize to Lord Sugar and his family for any misunderstandings and harm and am willing to make amends.”

Lord Sugar, 78, also shared a video of Redknapp’s apology on his social media, accompanying his statement that the expert also made a donation to charity as part of the reparations.

The statement read: “On 13th September Jamie Redknapp said on Sky Sports that I left 'Tottenham' ‘in a mess’ when I sold the club to Daniel Levy.

“Today, during the broadcast of the 'Bournemouth' vs. 'Fulham' match, Redknapp fully apologized and retracted this false accusation.

“Also, as a further apology, a donation of £10,000 was made to Great Ormond Street Hospital.”

Tottenham fans hope that the conflict between the club's former figures does not affect the teams on the field.

Very soon, 'Tottenham' will head to 'Leeds', trying to catch up with their north London rivals 'Arsenal', who are currently ahead of them by two points.
