Alan Sugar Threatens Legal Action Against Jamie Redknapp and Sky Sports Over Spurs Remarks

Sugar responded within minutes to Redknapp calling his Spurs handover a 'complete mess' on Sky's broadcast.

Overview

  • On X, Sugar labelled Redknapp a 'double barrel idiot' and said both the pundit and Sky would 'be hearing from my lawyers Monday.'
  • Sugar first tagged Harry Redknapp’s account by mistake before reposting to address Jamie Redknapp directly.
  • Redknapp’s comments came during coverage of Tottenham’s 3-0 win at West Ham, framed by Daniel Levy’s recent departure as chairman.
  • The pundit praised Levy’s tenure for delivering a modern stadium, training ground and infrastructure, contrasting it with Sugar’s exit in 2001.
  • News outlets say they have sought comment from Sky and representatives, and no legal filing or formal response has been reported.
