Post by: aspursfan on September 18, 2011, 01:53:36 AM
I thought this was fairly good insight into the Spurs board/manager relationship.

'Harry would have kept me, definitely. He'd ring me every week, even when I was in Australia, to encourage me and say he needed me back. But I think his hands were tied,' reveals Woodgate.

'The manager told me to come in for training but as I was walking towards the dressing room to get changed, a Spurs official stopped me on the grass verge outside and said I couldn't train. I felt humiliated. We all went into a room. Harry fought my corner, he was dying for me to stay, but Spurs said they felt I wouldn't get to the top again.

We really should have kept him. Nice bloke. I hope he'll have a long run at Stoke. Keep it up, Woody!

I think Harry was right. Woodgate has been Stokes star performer this year so far - I for one wish we had kept him.

If Levy had of put his tight little fingers in his tight little pockets and bought Gary Cahill, this thread wouldn't exist
