The next season at Spurs shaping up to be one of healing – at least that will be the narrative – opposed to the reality, which is that ENIC been exposed for precisely what they are. And again, the cost both financial and to the club’s reputation has been appalling.
A source close to the club understands that Steve Hitchen has advised that Oliver Skipp is returned to Tottenham for the start of next season’s campaign.
This is an essentially unsurprising development, but one that surely gives us another indication as to how close to the bone Tottenham will be again next season. Personally, I’d have wanted Skipp to complete his Norwich City experience and watch him play in the Premier League with the Canaries. This might strike some as ‘argumentative’ but Oliver will find life much tougher in the Premier League and everyone would get a much better impression when he faces it with the team that he’s become an integral part of.
