He’s Waiting For A Call From Spain

By The Boy -

Maurico Pochettino went public on the whole Christian Eriksen contract situation today, telling the BBC that an enhanced deal would be ‘fantastic’.

Eriksen is important to Tottenham. You would like this player with you but he has every right to do what he wants.”

“It will be fantastic if he will commit to the club for a long-term. He is happy here. He is showing his commitment. It’s not only in our hands.”

He’s happy – but we cannot make him stay.

That’s footballing commitment right there, eh?

The Harry Hotspur blog ran Poch’s words past a source close to the club this afternoon, and was told quite bluntly, ‘Christian is waiting for a call from Spain and that’s where the club is at.

Anyone seeking to debase this will of course have a cast iron ‘explanation’ as to why neither Christian, Jan or Toby have hurled themselves into long term deals with ENIC, on the eve of this momentous time in the club’s history?

We keep being lectured by these wretched Levyologists about world class this and supersonic shopping mall that, yet the actual football team continues to be the shaggy dog story of all time.

It worked for them because no one respected them, everyone just kept attacking and then getting smashed on the break by vardy and co, Leicester was seen as relegation fodder and no one thought it would continue.
It’s why they done quite well in the CL.

a private company (non traded like Spurs) are under no legal obligation to release their financials to the public. Although in some cases (like football) they may have an obligation to show financial reports to governing bodies. A public company must release financial reports every year, many do it two-four times a year to assist shareholders. Finding out the financials of a private company in a decent period (so say getting THFC financials for 2018) is basically an investigation of guess work, you are aware of their prize money, many of their big tickets sponsorships and many of their wage/transfer activities.

We were never really in the hunt the year Leicester won it, it’s a myth that we blew it, similar to the myth that we blew it at the bridge, any hope we had (which was always very minimal) was gone when we drew at home to WBA.

Agree that Poch should never have picked Vorm in goal V Utd. He should have been ruthless and gone with the strongest 11 that day

To me it’s not about ‘bottle’ it’s about having steam with the right balance of leadership and maturity in those situations.

Seeing as Levy does not entertain the idea of buying in proven quality and knowhow on the basis that they have no re-sale value, I’m not sure how this will be rectified any time soon.

We saw it against Wolves again as we did against Juve, Moutinho for 5m would have been a perfect addition, for example. Our owners are hindering our ability to compete, even at relatively small outlay. If there’s no resale value, forget it…

We are at the point that winning is the next step in our progression otherwise aren’t we starting to stall and why does it have to be an either or ie trophy and top 4.
You could put the argument that compared to 5 years ago there has been progression but in the last few years have we not been static, the nearly men on to many occasions rather than habitual overachievers?

3.5 years for Ferguson to win silverware at Utd – not 5. Took over in November 86, won FA Cup May 90.
That said, I do agree with you that’s Poch is dynamite and doesn’t need to lift a pot. This is the most consistent Spurs have been in the League Ever, 3rd, 2nd, 3rd and currently 3rd is remarkable given what he has had to spend. I don’t want to regurgitate the “we are building” line, but this is much better than some of the shite I have seen over the previous 35 years.

A pot would be nice mind
