In exactly the way he explains. 200million in tv rights v 10million in tv rights gives the wealthier club an advantage??
But what's that got to do with Pochettinos point?

But what's that got to do with Pochettinos point?
Wasn’t too nervous before. Thought I would have a look at this thread whilst eating my lunch, and now I can’t finish it.
Haven’t had nerves / tension quite like this before a game. Oh boy, it’s gunna be magical. Can’t wait to get off at Seven Sisters and start the walk. Just an afternoon of work in the way now.
COYS. Let’s make history!

First half very nervy affair, lots of mistakes, they lead going into the break 0-1.
Second half we come out of the blocks fast and fuck them hard and quick, 3 goals in the first 20 mins. Game finishes 3-1 Spurs.
COYS!!

He's not saying it's mitigating Poch's point, it's just that whilst Poch can fairly grumble about the schedule thing, they can grumble about other stuff - such as the massive financial advantages we have.
So it's like an our grumbles cancel out your grumbles type of thing.
But Pochs grumble wasn't aimed at Ajax or the Dutch league in the first place..
It was aimed at the Premier League.
The advantage
I just abused an edam sandwich for lunch. Hopefully a portent of things to come
I hope it's really boring.
Mundane 0-0 where we time waste and kick the fuck out of them.
I'm curious to see how Poch approaches this. Looking at our healthy roster...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ah, the romance of football.
The point could be that you can't have it both ways. You can't be part of the biggest league in the world, with all the money that comes with it, yet also expect the Premier League to be as supportive of Tottenham as the Dutch FA and Dutch clubs are of Ajax when it comes to European football.
Why not ?
Because the Premier League has far less to gain from Tottenham doing well in Europe than is the case with Ajax and the Eredivisie. The Dutch clubs wouldn't be this supportive if Dutch club football wasn't in the poor state it is.
