United Reported Over Berbatov

Tottenham have reported Manchester United to The Premier League over their interest of Dimitar Berbatov, are we as bad as Real Madrid?

Manchester United have reportedly been after Tottenham striker Barbatov and today Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that we have made a bid for him.
This evening it is being reported that Spurs have reported United and Liverpool over their interests of Berbatov and Keane.

United have reported Real Madrid over their interest with Cristiano Ronaldo (nothing was done about it but it looks like it doesnt matter now anyway what with him staying) and now we have been reported.
Are we as bad as Real Madrid?
There is a big difference between what United have done and what Madrid have done, we have actually made a bid for the player instead of making the player feel uneasy and pressuring the player to say something.
I don't think that Fergie should have come out and said something but I don't think we are as bad as Real Madrid.

Today's public comments by Manchester United's manager, announcing that he has made an offer for Dimitar and is confident that the deal will go through with time working in their favour, is a blatant example of sheer arrogance and interference with one of our players," said Levy in a statement on the club's official website.
"It is also probably one of the worst offences by any manager in the Premier League to date and is unbelievably hypocritical given his recent comments in respect of Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid.
"This comes after a series of events, dating back to last summer, which have shown Manchester United to be in breach of Premier League (PL) rules. As a result, we have today made an official complaint to the PL about the conduct of Manchester United.
"Benitez made similar comments in respect of Robbie recently and we made an official complaint to the PL about the conduct of Liverpool earlier this week.
"The behaviour of both clubs has been disgraceful. We told both clubs very early on that we had no interest in selling Robbie or Dimitar, respectively, and that they should refrain from pursuing the player. Both clubs arrogantly chose to ignore this request and we now have evidence that both clubs have systematically been working to prise the players away from us, outside of PL rules of conduct.
Negative influence
"Our subsequent position has been severely compromised by both clubs making their intentions widely known and indeed making contact with the players and their agents, without the club's permission.
"I have absolutely no wish to sell either player and to date we have not accepted any offer for either. However, when a player's head is turned and their commitment is absent, particularly when they occupy key positions such as that of striker, they become a negative influence in a team dressing room in which they were once a positive addition and influence.
"This is the situation we now have on our hands, with both Dimitar and Robbie having made it clear that they wish to leave for Manchester Utd and Liverpool respectively.
"Irrespective of the outcome and futures of Robbie and Dimitar, we are continuing to seek to bring in quality, talented players for the future, who want to play in a Spurs shirt."
