LEVY SNUBS COMPLACENT ROYALS
"Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has stepped in to end any chance of Reading confirming the signature of enigmatic Icelandic international Gylfi Sigurdsson. He is thought to have been angered by the Berkshire outfit acting prematurely to erect a ceremonial podium from which to present the player amid mass celebrations in the Royal County. As well as the embarrassing rebuff, Reading are set to be left out of pocket by having to cancel both the Beech Hill Concert Band and The Kennet Moriss Men - losing their deposits. Director of Football Nicky Hammond was 'away on business in Wiltshire', and hence unavailable for comment."
