I see the powers-that-be have decided to add public humiliation to the crimes they have committed against Darren Bent.I feel sorry for the poor bastard really - bought in for a huge sum after choosing Spurs over several other suitors and then largely ignored by successive managers. Ridiculed by Harry for missing an open goal that his wife could have allegedly scored and more recently deliberately not included in his "4 top strikers" comment (even though he is technically still a Spurs player). On a plane, off a plane, a medical up north, oops, not a medical. He had every right to twitter his ickle heart out if you ask me.
Directly from the official site:
I appreciate that transfers are seldom straightforward and are often complex. However, after a long period of waiting following my withdrawal from the plane to China, I had become incredibly frustrated by the time these things take and I posted inappropriate comments on my Twitter site.Like him or loathe him he has been dignified throughout until finally losing his rag a little - and now this.
I allowed my emotions to get in the way of my better judgement. I regret my actions and did not intend to offend Daniel Levy or anyone with the nature or the content of my posting.
I'd have told them to stick it.
