Intriguing!! Who do you think asked him then?
The other side of the coin would be if someone high up in the club actually rang him or spoke to him face to face offering him the job with a salary of xx on a x year contract. That certainly would constitute an illegal approach.
At the end of the day it's down to the Newport board now. They may decide to report NTFC, they may not, that's even if it was an illegal approach!
It WAS an ex-spurs teammate
