This article was posted on a British Expat forum today indicating that Harry's purchase of Defoe may well have legal repercussions.

Jermaine Defoe is ineligible to play for Spurs...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Premier League Rule L19: A Club which transfers or cancels the registration of a Player may not apply to register that Player within a year except with the prior written consent of the Board.

Tottenham loaned Jermain Defoe to Portsmouth at the end of last January. The permanent transfer was then completed at the end of the season.

Why then have Spurs been allowed to bypass Premier League rule L.19 and will be fielding a player who is clearly INELIGIBLE until May?

Secondly, why have none of the sports media so much as raised an eyebrow over this indisputable breach of PL rules ?

It seems odd, given their coverage of an ongoing story about a certain former West Ham Argentinian striker which is now running into its third year.

Is Lord Griffiths available to tell us how many points Defoe is worth to Tottenham between now and the end of the season.?

One of the relegated clubs might want to sue them ?.

I'll keep all of Henry Winter's headlines, just in case they need some hard evidence at the hearing that will never take place.

I note Spurs are playing Wigan on Sunday. What does Wigan's chairman, Dave Whelan think of this? What's that? He's not bothered? Why ? Oh right, because Wigan aren't likely to go down this year?

Ah, right, that's OK then. Everyone carry on

Harry isnt the one signing the cheques. Blame the boards. Tottenham don't do honesty, see the Berbatov kidnapping as prime example.

Perhaps they have got the "prior written consent of the Board" as stated in the rule. There tends to be one or two legal bods involved in the transfer of a player you know.
 
This is an old story that Sky Sports News covered. Basically, the Premier League can approve this move and looks like they have as formal confirmation of the transfer going through has now been reported. The rule was designed to stop clubs letting players go on a bosman and then re-signing them up on lower wages.

They did but, from memory, it later transpired that West Ham had mislead them over the ownership.
