Theory: Danny Rose--Tottenham's Dark Knight • r/coys
And don't tell me this thought didn't cross any of your minds!
Danny Rose - Tottenham's Dark Knight!
Get your tinfoil hats ready, because Danny Rose is the true hero of this window.
Danny Rose, affectionately labeled "Poch's Pet" by many in the squad, has been seen as the consummate professional. Currently the most senior member at the club, signed a new deal recently, and loved by teammates and fans alike. While he's pleased with how far the club has come during his time, he, and others in the club, think our inactivity during the transfer window will adversely affect the progress we've made under his favorite manager and football father figure, Mauricio Pochettino. After approaching management and the chairman of the club with his concerns at the end of the season, he was told not to worry and that things would be handled. The players know what's needed and how close they are to glory, and, as the summer has droned on, they have grown increasingly concerned with the development of the squad and its chances to succeed domestically and internationally. While Poch is at first there to assuage concerns, he too begins to worry about squandering what could be a banner year for the club. That being said, his hands are tied. He cannot openly oppose the chairman in his position, it would show poor leadership and disorganization. So, like the great manager he is, he devises a plan to make things right.
Confiding in Danny, he tells him of a plan to jump start the window before deadline day. Why Danny? Well, their similar-to-father-son relationship suggests that Pochettino would trust Danny more than anyone with such a task, and Danny is settled at Tottenham and is largely considered a fan favorite. While his message will be taken seriously, it's very different than going to one the younger stars, players that are still growing into their potential and are developing their brand on and off the pitch. He's experienced the trials and tribulations of Redknapp, AVB, and Sherwood, and his experience would help add to the importance of his message. And where do they send the message? Well, where else other than the absolute bottom of the barrel? The tabloids for the tabloids. Not only will it add to the shock and horror of the fans, but will add a certain jarring effect to its very public delivery. Not to mention no other new outlet in the world would do a better job sensationalizing even the most benign portions of his interview.
So here we are, on the eve of what is one of the club's most important seasons, with the most senior member of the squad urging for transfer activity and an increase in wages in the most pathetic excuse for a newspaper in the modern world. It has shocked the fans and the football world alike. At least some small aspect of the interview resonates with all Spurs fans, but to read it in The S*n from a player has appalled us all. It's angered us, and it's shown that the window has reached a breaking point. But, it has also placed the impetus on the chairman to act sooner rather than later. It has shown the public that even those inside the club are concerned at his handling of the transfer window, forcing his hand in a very public way and unlike ever before. And who is recommended directly in the article? None other than the player who has been linked with the club for the majority of the window. In this, Poch believes the chairman will act more swiftly, and guarantees Danny protection from Levy's ire.
But Danny knows what this will do to his image in the eyes of the fans. It will ruin him. Many fans that are unable to see through the intentions of his interview will call him a traitor, a snake. He might even be booed in some corners of Wembley stadium. But Poch will know, and he will know that he has sacrificed himself for the club he loves. And when the players are signed, the jerseys are held up, the matches are won, and the trophies hoisted, all will be forgiven. We will all laugh about the time Danny Rose went to The S*n to jumpstart transfer window activity before our greatest season in recent memory. And while he may not feel like the hero we want, Danny Rose has become the hero we deserve. Edit: Minor Text Fixes
