Spurs owner 'only half-interested' & sees Super League as cash cow, says Redknapp

Harry Redknapp claims Tottenham owner Joe Lewis is looking to use involvement in a breakway Super League as a money-making scheme, with the club's majority shareholder "only half-interested in watching games".

Spurs are one of six Premier League sides, and 12 across Europe, to have backed the introduction of a new midweek tournament that will allow the continental elite to face one another in an invitation-only arena.

Criticism has rained down on those at the centre of said plans, with supporters and governing bodies among those to fire in potshots, and Redknapp has added his voice to those accusing heavyweight outfits of looking to line already well-padded pockets.
