Lord Alan Sugar has revealed that he talked to Daniel Levy and told him that the European Super League was not a good idea. Three weeks ago, Tottenham announced their intentions to join the European Super League but 48 hours later they withdrew from the tournament. Lord Sugar labelled the failed European Super League plans as a "total joke". “I’m delighted that all of the [Premier League] clubs pulled back," said the former Spurs chairman when speaking on White and Jordan on talkSPORT on Wednesday “Tottenham, my club, what they did was say, ‘hold on a minute, include us, please. We’re a big club, we want to come in, so don’t just leave it as the Manchester clubs, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal, we want to come in’. “I spoke to Daniel Levy and I said to him, ‘Daniel, this is not a good idea. You have an opportunity here of being magnanimous and pulling out and saying the fans don’t want it, so we’re going to come out’. It’s an absolute, total joke and an example of the Americans trying to take over our game.” He added: “All I did was send him [Levy] a WhatsApp message. We communicate quite a lot with each other on certain things. But I said to him, ‘the fans are more important’. “In our game in England, we’ve got enough money. There is enough money being thrown at the league by the various TV companies, overseas rights, UK rights. “You’ve got Amazon, BT Sport, Sky, the BBC. Quite frankly, what they [the clubs] need to do is come up with some solution of how to tailor what they pay for transfers and wages. I know it’s an old, old story, but what can you do?”
