Sevilla have accused Tottenham of 'treachery' in their pursuit of new
manager Juande Ramos.
The Spanish club's president, Jose Maria Del Nido, has warned Spurs they will
be made to pay for their actions having already confirmed he would report the
matter to FIFA and UEFA.
Ramos resigned from his post at Sevilla on Friday in order to replace Martin
Jol in the White Hart Lane hotseat.
'I can assure you that we at Sevilla will pour all of our energy and all of
our force into making sure that Tottenham pay the consequences of this
situation, a situation that they have illegitimately provoked,' Del Nido said
in comments reported by the Guardian.
'We will do everything in our power and use all the means at our disposal to
make sure of that.
'Here in Spain, we're not used to treachery existing between clubs. Nowhere
in European football has something like this happened before with the season
under way. I will leave it for Spurs and their fans to take a look at themselves
and define their behaviour.'
Del Nido also warned Ramos he has little hope of bringing Daniel Alves or
Fredi Kanoute with him to London.
'I doubt very much that Tottenham have the money to buy them,' Del Nido
said.
'Tottenham will get the response from Sevilla that they deserve. And that
response will be to channel all our energy into getting what we deserve after
they have behaved the way they have behaved.'
