Outrageous?!!!
Maybe he shoulda got "Champions League Winners" engraved on the watches instead to give the players the impetus to win, and prove beyond doubt the Chairman's belief in them!
But then he would've been accused of jumping the gun and tempting fate!!
Bald cunt can't win!!
I bet he wishes he'd never bought the job lot of watches in the first place!

It's not that big a deal. Watchgate highlights that the chairman doesn't have the mentality to win cup finals.
We lost that game for many other reasons as well.
It's more the regression throughout that summer and the next season that was concerning.
Our rivals built on failing at finals.

If Levy shook Lloris by the hand after the semi and said “well done for getting through to the final”, is that a problem?
Seems to me that it shouldn’t be. And the only difference between what happened and what I’ve said is the existence of a watch. And the watch thing happened a few days later.
Lloris is just pissed cos he has recently found out it is fake
It was about time

It's not a problem if we win, but I still think there is something to it. It's not that deep, but yeah, watches for finalists, sacking Mourinho before the League Cup final - he isn't exactly encouraging the lads in a direction to win a final.
I have a medal for participating in a Guinness World Record attempt for a group 10k. The attempt was successful but the medal still only says attempt on it. Obviously it is nice to have the attempt recognised beforehand but it'd be better to have the actual record holder certification and medals which I'd have to pay seperately for again and don't know if I could be bothered to or not.
I get the feeling footballers hate participation gestures. I don't mind my participation medal that much because I'm not a pro footballer and running a 10k for a runners' group is an achievement for me regardless if the group got the record or not.
I have a feeling most footballers want their silver medals in the bin.
I reckon it would have been IWC who came on as a big sponsor around that time.
The Big Pilot would have been circa £10k.
Always seems a bit humiliating when the losing finalists have to collect their silver medals. It's not an achievement.

Yeah. Most of the time I don't like watching it.
But I think it is fine as long as you win it next year. My beef has always been about our recruitment and season after we lost the final. If you get a silver before you get a gold it only adds to the story. Mourinho even threw away his winners medals once he already had a few of those as well.
But yeah, second always leaves you with a taste of regret. Not something you want to revisit or celebrate or collect a medal for right after losing, or settle for right before playing.
I was heads-up in a big poker tournament once and I got a decent sum of money for coming second but first was a ridiculous life changing experience so it still bothers me ten years later.
Similar stories with boxers and wrestlers. You'd rather have another go at first and lose everything than get a consolation prize.
Watch schm-atch.
What a kick in the jewels this reminder is:
"From 2 June 2019, a change in the rules meant that a penalty would no longer follow if the ball struck a player’s hand after touching another part of their body. The final took place on 1 June 2019, and something which wouldn’t have been an offence the following day sealed the fate of the final before it had really begun."
That penalty, the year Chelsea snaked the CL from us. The new definition of Spursy seems to be getting dicked by ludicrously stupid and soon to change rules.

Maybe we are missing a detail here. Maybe Levy got his US Marines uniform on, channeled Christopher Walken and made the players all keep the watches up their asses.
That would explain the performances on the night I suppose.

They changed the pen rule in the EPL again the week after Dier got screwed over at home v Newcastle during Jose's time too.
Nah, we'd have been way more perky in the final if that was the case.....
Didn't buy the watches
Chances are levy got these sent to him for free by a sponsor.
Good chance the employee of the watch company covered his or her arse by getting a generic engraving. No big deal.
Fuck lloris the whingy prick. Levy still paid him millions after he was dumb enough to get pissed and drive home.
