David Pleat on the tabloid allegations and how his Tottenham reign ended

[@Ralph-k5x]

I'm so sorry. I listened to the press, as most of us did, and assumed it was true. Only now do I get to find the truth. My apologies to you David Pleat. May we all learn the lesson of the how the media works.

Thanks for posting this....... A put up job... Sadly Scholar wanted Venables as manager so Pleat was always likely to have been looking over his shoulder... A stupid decision to sack him

Is he talking about his driving around Cromwell road Luton where he was caught,it did appear in the local paper at the time.

[@LeighRichards27]

'caught' for what? The allegations were never proven and he was never charged with anything. And unless you've got evidence to the contrary you've libelled him here.

[@AndrewStack-lr9fv]

@LeighRichards27 what do you mean I merely said he was driving around a road your the one who put two and two together

David Pleat an extremely articulate person who should have been england manager.
