Yep, totally agree.
Nothing to do with us not spending 140M on Grealish and Zaha then

Nothing to do with us not spending 140M on Grealish and Zaha then
Impossible to say as either of those could have been the difference
Danny Rose was wrong for saying it to the Sun of all papers and on the eve of the season starting
A big difference between a player saying it or a bunch of nobodies on a forum
And like, honestly, when we actually talk about it analytically, we need to not pretend that we weren't being played off the park for about 300 of 360 minutes in the QF and SF.
Heroic mental strength, totally out of ideas football.
In some gloriously romantic way it really felt like destiny was on our side to go all the way and win against all odds. And then that final happened. Ho hum.
Have you seen who our owner and Chairmen are?
But neither would have played because Kane could walk again so deemed fit
We had Moura. Didn’t help much on the bench
He's not all that
Soooooo when Poch “begged” for scraps in the papers it was fine.
But Rose, saying what you all think to try and better the club and make ENIC spend is a cunt that should have had his contract ripped up?
Makes perfect sense
I applauded Danny for speaking out.
Not everyone was calling him a cunt.
Then you’re not in the group I’m taking about
But those saying he’s bang out of order for saying everything they agree with “because he’s a player” is utterly bizarre.
Yes it is a big difference when a players says it, and like you, should have applauded him not abused him.
But if I remember correctly, the majority of the people calling him a cunt, a shithouse, and a fat snake among other things, were those who steadfastly support ENIC and couldn't stand to see them criticised by one of our players. Giving credence to the arguments I and others were putting forward at the time.
There's a lot of quality to be found among players who teams aren't dreaming of turning into a 100M pound asset in three years.
Sell on value matters, and you shouldn't be blind to that, but there are other objectives.
Especially since Spurs are in win-now mode with a very temporary manager and their two golden attacking stars in their late 20's.
Avoiding the Poch stuff for a minute, but from where I'm sitting four FA cups in six years looks pretty good to me. Maybe it didn't take Woolwich to the 'next level' - only record investment in world-class players will make them Liverpool or Man City - but I'd take multiple cups over a dusty trophy cabinet any day of the week.
Agree, the substance of what he was saying was mostly correct - it was the wrong place to make the point.
Poch never arranged an interview with a paper on the eve of a match and never categorically came out and criticised club policy in the way that Rose did
They really aren't fair comparisons
Agreed, that's how I remember it.
Then there was the thing that he shouldn't have spoken to The Sun in particular. Never really understood that. Yes it's a nasty shitrag, yes Hillsborough and yes Murdoch, but would it have been any better if he'd spoken to say the Daily Mirror, whose previous owner had stolen hundreds of millions from his own employees? Or the Daily Mail, which supported the Nazis in the 1930s?
Morality-wise, barely a Rizla paper separates any of Her Majesty's Tabloid Press
For me it's not so much which paper, it's the press in itself. I think that sort of dirty laundry is best aired behind closed doors. Unprofessional.
