Santini hit by moving Carr

SPURS manager Jacques Santini knew nothing about Steven Carr’s transfer to Newcastle United until he read about it in the newspapers.

“I learned about the deal to my great surprise,” Santini told French newspaper Le Monde. The move was negotiated by Frank Arnesen, Tottenham's Technical Director.

“We must clarify the internal management structures here,” said Santini, whose faltering English has enabled Arnesen’s deputy, Martin Jol, to forge close links with the Spurs squad.
