I was always under the impression that Bill Nic was broken hearted at the behavior of the Spurs fans when we lost the UEFA cup final against Feyenoord and this was the final straw that prompted his decision to walk away.
As for the rest of the doom and gloom that some of you miserable gits seem determined to weigh us down with, well this is how the rest of the week goes .
Chelsea win a tough match against FC Basel
Bale is over excited about winning a 100 greatest player of everything awards in a single week and he leads the line for Spurs to beat his old club Southampton.
Redknapp accepts relegation and tells his players to go out and run around and have fun, this is what they do and grab a draw against Ars*nal. Man utd have much the same approach against Chelsea and score a flamboyant win as Sir Alex guerns from the sideline.
Then an upbeat Spurs beat a jaded Chelsea.
You read it all here first. This will happen ity needs to because my faithful CD player has just died and i am relying on spotify for my music so life is pretty grim ,Spurs need to bring the joy back to my life.
lol Puke.... if you're relying on Spurs to bring the joy back into your life, good luck !! I've been waiting since Terry Venables was dispatched for that to happen.
That said, I have a quiet confidence in AVB. So far I like most of what he is striving for. I also dont believe that he would have come out and said that Bale was staying if he hadn't received assurance from Levy. He never makes speculative statements.
4th spot is not as important an issue as to whether Joe Lewis & the board are prepared to change the wage structure to attract the right players. I do not believe that CL football is the main attraction. It is being paid the right amount of money that will bring the right players in, coupled with a belief that the club and manager are building something special, something that will ultimately lead to winning something. Even under Harry, we never looked like winning anything.
Having installed AVB in preference to Redknap then surely it makes sense to back his judgement over which players to try and bring in ? otherwise what was the point in sacking Redknapp ? He could have left him in charge and still spent no money. Harry wouldn't have left once the England job was lost.
There are only 4 teams in next years CL and MU MC and Chelsea are almost full to the brim with players now, so there will be plenty available to us, if only we are prepared to pay the going rate.
