This is yet another one of those ‘we did our utmost, but alas’ moments for Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, but for us the poor lost souls riding the ENIC Ghost Train it is another reminder that the buffet is closed due to staff shortages and the public toilets are beginning to hum – the funeral march once again.
Jonathan Veal of PA Sport is very good because he reports in his articles and doesn’t succumb to the passing on the thoughts of the club’s press officer – which by the way is invariably what the club wants to put out, opposed to the truth and nothing but the truth.
“Certain demands” we are told ended these talks. Whatever might they have been? (No laughing at the back).
The notion that Conte didn’t want to work with youth players, as expressed by other ‘reporters’ this morning, is unhelpful.
The reality of this situation is that Tottenham is not as palatable an offer as some of us seem to think they are. Daniel Levy’s humiliation is nearly complete, but I feel we really ought to keep going until ENIC have no alternative but to review their position and realize what some of us realized a long time ago.
