Tottenham set to fine Bent over his Twitter attack on chairman Levy
Tottenham could fine Darren Bent after launching an investigation into his venomous verbal attack on chairman Daniel Levy on social networking site Twitter.
The club are urgently trying to contact the striker after he appeared to lash out at Levy and Spurs for their handling of his proposed transfer to Sunderland.
Bent has been waiting for the deal to be completed, having been told to get off Tottenham's flight to China on Monday.
But the clubs are still haggling over the fee and Bent, under the username 'db10thetruth' appears to have used the social networking website to vent his frustration.
'Do I wanna go Hull City NO. Do I wanna go Stoke NO do I wanna go sunderland YES so stop f***ing around levy,' a post said.
He also allegedly wrote: 'Seriously getting p***ed off now' and 'Why can't anything be simple. Its so frustrating hanging round doing jack s**t. Sunderland are not the problem in the slightest.'
Bent could now face a heavy fine for his comments.
A club spokesman said: 'We have put calls in to Darren's agent. We are trying to establish whether the Twitter account is actually Darren's.
'If it turns out to be Darren, we'll deal with it as an internal matter.'
Early on Friday morning, the account in Bent's name was removed from Twitter. Anyone logging in found a message saying 'This page does not exist'.
