The drama continues in the English Premier League after Everton's deduction of 10 points. Now, Tottenham is under scrutiny for the transfer of Jermain Defoe to Portsmouth in 2008 for around £7.5 million. They conducted the deal with a third-party without the proper FA license before the transfer took place. Recently, the FA stated they would review the case if there is new evidence indicating serious violations of principles. If found guilty, they could face a points deduction. After a convincing winning streak at the start of the season, Spurs have hit a rough patch with two recent defeats. And now, the looming threat of a points deduction hangs over them. If points are deducted, their chances in the title race seem bleak. Will we lose a contender for the championship?
I can't imagine if Tottenham had the same fate as Everton, the reduction in points would of course have an effect on the teams mentality, right now we can see that Tottenham are experiencing bad result recently.
I thought that this team's would get a golden opportunity to can wins the title in the English league seeing their consistency when facing the start of the matches making this team unbeatable and have collected so many points so that they remain in the top 5, but it turn out their mistakes in 2008 will be a bad shadow for this clubs and if thing happen this is true, Tottenham is no longer in the top 5, they will be with other mediocre teams, but it depends on how many points they deduct, and perhap to return to the top 5, Tottenham will have to fight hard and the condition of the players is no longer as perfect as it was at the start of the season.
