Lord Alan Sugar has threatened to sue former England midfielder Jamie Redknapp over a comment he made on Sky Sports about his ownership of Tottenham.

The Apprentice star was the chairman and part-owner of Spurs from 1991 until 2001. He sold his remaining stake in the club in 2007.

Redknapp, who played for Tottenham between 2002 and 2005, was discussing Daniel Levy’s surprising exit from Spurs when he said Levy inherited a ‘total mess’ from Lord Sugar.
