If he had said it to another player face to face fair enough, but he said it to the Manager.Spurs fans want cunts in the team but can't handle it when a player points out that other players have been shit in training and matches. It's called seeing it with your eyes and calling it with your mouth.
You don't develop as much as he did and become a favourite of a manager who works his players hard if you don't know how to train hard so I'm inclined to believe him.
Jose says the most important things include "courage, honesty & family". I think telling your boss that the team/defence is doing shit in matches, players are training shit and that he hasn't had chances is all of that.
I think it went down like this.
Levy hates Rose because of how real he keeps it
Levy told Jose when he signed to push Rose out
Jose intelligently barely plays Rose, then gives a rusty Rose a chance against leaders Liverpool. Rose doesn't have a great game- justification to sideline him more.
We should never have been chucking CBs and right footed players there when he was fit.
As if we didn't have enough centre backs on the pitch when we played 5 at the back with 2 DMs against relegation crap ffs.
He's made some silly moves but overall Rose is on the right side of history. You tribal lot are not I promise you.
Plus just saying this player or that player is "shit" is saying nothing. That's the kind of thing we do on here, not in a professional outfit.
