The only upshot is that we'd now be lumbered with Simon Cowell organising the half time entertainment. Now he could have made a difference.

I enjoyed the read. I thought I'd let you know that El Tel has written the foreword to the forthcoming book about Morris Keston. (who was featured in your Twitter story yesterday with a link to pre-order copies on Amazon). Morris and El Tel have been the best of friends since 1966, when Venners joined Spurs from Chelsea. Having worked with Morris on his book for the past 18 months, I can reveal that the first chapter of the book is the story of how Morris Keston nearly became Chairman of Spurs in 1991. I won't go into too much detail as I obviously want people to buy the book, but just to say that Venables and a very well-known mystery British billionaire (although he was 'only' a millionaire at the time) tried to buy Irving Scholar's shares in Spurs. ** This story has never been told. ** If the deal had come off, I'm sure Spurs would have been a much different team to the one that struggled to win honours during most of the Nineties.
