He was right... we had a window an actual window when signing quality footballers not N'nobodys turns us in to an actual super club. The dirty miser cheaped out stiffed the bloke who was the one good decision of his entire tenure, and then joins up with the scummyest clubs in world football to screw his way into the elite. Fuck Daniel Levy #Rose was right.He also made the mistake of not respecting his club and team mates. Just like Mourinho with his public slagging of players.
We don’t need some guy we signed on the cheap from Leeds complaining that he trains with players “he had to google”. He was a fucking nobody before he played for Tottenham.
(Love the emoji’s on this site!)Absolute berk this fella. All mouth and no effort. The sooner he’s out the door, the better IMO.

Dunno: if I post on Facebook that I don’t rate my employer and that I don’t think I get paid enough and I don’t think my colleagues are very good? I would expect a meeting the following day.I agree that speaking to the sun and washing dirty laundry in public , it is not the done thing . But don't think it warrants the hate he gets he was speaking out against levy and enic not the club . We did pay our players alot less than other clubs at the time and did not seriously try to build a squad that was on the verge of potential greatness. It is understandable why this would be frustrating for an ambitious group of players. Bitiching about it in the dressing room achieves nothing , complaining to levy in his office achieves nothing, what else can you do but go to the press . he didn't say anything Tottenham fans weren't thinking themselves. There may have been an element of bitterness because he did not get a move like walker got when he was in his prime but I genuinely think he wanted the club to succeed and was merely pointing out issues with enic that were holding us back . When he was playing well he was Fantastic him down one side walker down the other totally terrorising defences I personally have great memories of him as a player , that goal against the scum in his debut is alone enough for me to hold him in high regard.
I don't hate him, indifference.
These days I feel sorry for the bloke to be honest.I don't hate him, indifference.
He made a twat of himself on Amazon throwing his toys out the pram but it's forgivable. We are not talking about R Sol
2 years ago he played in the Champions League final and was part of the England World Cup squad.
Danny gave us the best insights into the culture under Poch; when ended with out squads burnout. Rose said that at Tottenham, players were lucky to get even one day a week off under Mauricio Pochettino.
“Even after we beat Ajax in the Champions League semi-final and it was obviously the biggest night of our careers, on the flight home we weren’t allowed a drink.. It was ‘no you are training tomorrow, you are up at 9am’….so it is just one of those things. “I do fully respect what he [Pochettino] has done but at the same time, with that Champions League semi-final we had been together since we were 22 or 23."
After a 'year off', could Danny be motivated again to play out his career at a decent level?

Danny wanted to go, Levy demanded £25million for him.Don't think he will be motivated to work hard now
he could have took a paycut and left us to play football or if Levy had a brain he could have agreed a deal with Rose (saving the club some money)
in the end he's been paid in full to ghost around the training ground what good was that for him or the club ?
“Please sir, can I ‘ave another beer”2 years ago he played in the Champions League final and was part of the England World Cup squad.

I guess for a lot of those players, reaching the final was (and will be) the pinnacle of their career and they wanted to enjoy the moment. It was a 4-5 year journey coming to an end.He was upset they were not allowed to drink to celebrate a semi final win? In the run-in of a season. I feel sorry for Pochettino and other managers that have to deal with that lack of professionality at that level.
No .... but it's a good storyDanny wanted to go, Levy demanded £25million for him.
Didn't Levy cancel Rose's transfer to Watford thus pissing Danny off.

The biggest difference for me between the CITY and SPURS documentary was the behaviour in the locker room. City would celebrate wins win dancing, singing, jumping up and down and there was even champagne. Spurs dressing room, even after a big win was like a morgue. 'Well done chaps. Now get an early night, training tomorrow'.
Spurs to sign City's boot man for 30m.......

Was that in 2019 or 2020 though?
