Not really dude they had a host of FA cups .
We ain't got nothing.
Missed this in the middle of the pandemic...
"I was frustrated with how I was treated [at Tottenham] and it was bad," Wanyama said.
"I lost a little bit of passion. For me to lose passion? I'm the guy that loves the game. I was so frustrated and I just wasn't happy."
"The first thing [Mourinho] told me, he was wondering why I wasn't playing. I have to be playing. The problem wasn't with the coach if you ask me. The problem was a little bit upstairs and they didn't give me a chance," Wanyama said.
"I was not given the chance to come back," Wanyama said.
"They tried to frustrate me. They gave me one game after four months, or three months, so it was a little bit tough."

Jesus. Hard not to see that as boardroom interference.
Years ago I remember Jol saying Levy ordered him to play Berbatov in a cup game against Chelsea. I’ve also long suspected that new signings with fees based on appearances might have been sidelined if they didn’t hit the ground running.
Probably misremembering, but for some reason I thought Gio dos Santos would cost us a larger sum if he made X amount of appearances for us, which never happened (largely because he wasn’t very good).
More generally I think Levy always has one eye on sell-on value, which might explain an over sensitivity towards injury-prone players.
Not sure there is any conspiracy with Wanyama - both of the last two managers didn't want him and were trying to sell him.
For some reason he turned down a move to Club Brugge last summer at the last minute.
Point being more about the board/people higher up the food chain obviously having more effect on decisions that have led to the state of our currently wildly unbalanced and lacking squad.
Thanks I've been looking for both of those items.
You will get a reprimand from Mrs. P.....
And thoroughly deserved
Don’t knock over the Viagra bottle when rummaging!!
There probably isn’t one but I’m sure people will try and find one!
That's the place some have got to - thinking that Levy is at times actively working against the interests of the club
Two players that have recently left had said similar things, both players weren't adequately replaced IMO to the detriment of the squad. Hardly a conspiracy when you add it to comments from the past wrt. the way Tottenham operate.
People always want someone to blame
No. We think he actively works in the interest of profit to the detriment of the football team and / or manager.
Do you not see the difference?
That's because there usually is someone to blame
Yes - but some people are way beyond even that level of reasoning
Well dude you might not get it , fair play to you and it sounds it's never any issue for you .
Nobody is beyond your standards of reasoning , many just see one eternal root problem , that always sees the football team as a poor second to profits and has no knowledge of football how to make the right decisions.
Too late. Dammit!
