Sky's astronomical bid for Manchester's Red Devils continues to fuel interest and activity in the football sector. Most of the interest over the past week has been centred at White Hart Lane as various suitors attempt (in vain) to separate chairman Alan Sugar from his 41% stake in the group. Sugar, the kingpin at Amstrad and Viglen Technology, announced recently he had turned down an 80p per share bid for his stake from leisure group Enic. He followed up this news recently by reporting he had also knocked back an 85p bid from a consortium headed up by the ultra-right tabloid hack Richard Littlejohn.
