Arne Slot has admitted that he has been speaking to clubs abroad over recent weeks but insisted that he had decided by Tuesday that he will remain at Feyenoord.

Until Thursday morning, it seemed like only a matter of time before Slot is announced as the next Tottenham head coach, with reports indicating until then that Feyenoord were resigned to losing their head coach to Spurs (Football Insider).

However, the Dutchman did a U-turn and announced yesterday that he will remain at De Kuip (Dan Kilpatrick), which came as a shock to Spurs fans.

Dutch journalist Marcel van der Kraan told talkSPORT yesterday that although Slot had his heart set on a move to North London, Feyenoord decided to dig their heels in to ensure he stays.
He suggested that the Eredivisie Champions were demanding £20m in compensation for the 44-year-old and his assistants, which Tottenham refused to pay.

Slot has now revealed that he did speak to an overseas club but insisted that the team in question never made a formal approach to Feyenoord.

When asked which club spoke to, he said in his press conference (via the Dutch club’s official YouTubechannel): “I won’t name them out of respect for them.

“Dennis te Kloese [Feyenoord director] deserves credit for everything he’s doing for the club, but the only person responsible for staying here is me. I never had an agreement with any club, no club officially reported their interest to Feyenoord.”

I promise it was a joke
 
Isn't she the one caught on camera saying "this is shit" to Levy during a game? Seems to me she's got more nous on football evaluation than most at the club...
LOL.

I'm not a lip-reader, nor am I clairvoyant, so I can't tell you what she said, whom she was speaking to, OR the context of whatever conversation she was having.

An employee or Spurs supporter, saying, "this is shit" after we go down 0-2 to ManUtd isn't exactly revelatory.

Slot and his staff would have cost 20 million. (probably negotiable for less)

And the growing perception of the Tottenham Hotspur Football Club being a rudderless mess, a manager's graveyard, the appointment of a lesser manager, the likelihood of sacking someone again next season, the lost possibility of another year of European football resulting from this perpetual state of chaos, and maybe your star player giving up on the club - how much will that cost?

The comparable buyout was ETH, who cost Man United 2.5m. ETH’s stock was even higher given his UCL run with Ajax.
Yours probably one of those guys who said ‘just pay the release clause’ on Porro.

I’ve got a 2.5m apartment for sale. It’s in a great building which will enhance your reputation.
It’s yours for 20m. DM me.
 
Until Spurs change their "also ran" mentally, that's what they will always be...nice stadium, some decent players, good fans...shit leadership
Winning isn't for everyone
