Spurs Deny Hughes Approach

Posted on 03. Oct, 2008 by Milox in Premiership

Tottenham have rejected claims that they have offered Manchester City boss Mark Hughes the manager’s job at White Hart Lane.

Spurs boss Juande Ramos has been under pressure following a poor start to the season as his side sit at the bottom of the Premier League, and media reports claim the club had contacted Hughes’ advisors to offer the former Manchester United striker Ramos’ job.

Spurs, however, released a statement on the club’s official website, saying: “The club largely refrains from making statements of this nature unless absolutely necessary in order to set the record straight in light of wholly inaccurate reporting.”

The statement continued: “This story is completely untrue and without foundation and the matter is being discussed with the publication.”
