Reality: Any verbal agreement between a Spurs player and another club would mean sweet FA to Daniel Levy. I'm not saying this isn't true or that Eriksen won't join Real but verbal agreements do not really exist in Levy's world. https://t.co/lGQMXRGorP

The mainstream press have to kowtow to clubs or life inside media rooms can become …uncomfortable. Which is why such a massive confusion exists these days about what constitutes a ‘professional’ journalist.
Being afraid to tell the truth is fundamentally unprofessional in an industry that supposedly deals in facts and opinion.
Daniel Levy’s reputation as a fierce negotiator is a myth that has been blown to pieces such a long time ago now.
Tough negotiators bring home the bacon. They get a good deal done.
Our man at the commercial rights helm is a perennial time-waster who does not get good deals done. Levy is our Theresa May.
Back and forth, back and forth, busy bee busy bee… achieving nothing. Indeed Levy is the very epitome of a bad deal being worse than no deal at all.
All clubs buy lemons, but goodness me, Levy’s spreadsheet punts could fill several Halls of Fame Infamy.
Verbal agreements mean sweet FA to Shopping Centre Supremo, yet history refutes Matt Law’s toadying.
Carrick, Berbatov, Modric, Bale and Walker all agreed terms before Levy buckled and sold each and every one of them.
Slavery was abolished in England in 1833 and players aren’t left to ‘rot in the reserves’ – if indeed they ever were.
If Eriksen wants out – his unpredictable form suggests he does – then out he will go.
Who cares what you think?
Set up your own blog, love.
Run along. Man talk.
Michelle,
If you can make a coherent point – hurrah.
If you want to niggle about the blog – I’ll bin you.
I’m a monster.
Michelle, play the ball, not the man.
Or fuck off.
Last warning.
Oh dear oh dear oh dear..
Listen Chell, life’s just that bit too short, i’ve got cryptocurrency to count and the dog needs it’s dinner. Literally anything would be more pleasant than mopping up your limited conversational vomit and you’ve made me drop a stitch.
DOWN LEVY! DOWN ENIC!
Sure Harry. Anything you say. It is your site and I acknowledge that but if you have a public blog you should be capable of handling disagreement as should your minions unless you do want a pure nice closed, conformist, little knitting circle who repeat “Down Levy! Down ENIC!” monotonously. I like neither but your obsession almost drives me to think twice about that. As for “skewed narrative?” hahahaha! Do you actually read your own posts? Oh BTW 3/10 for the ad hominem attempt
Why didn’t you just come on and post that Instead of dressing yourself up like a tart with some authentic wares? You can characterise the broad agreement on here however you like to fit your skewed narrative but you’re still the one badly dressed as a tart.
thank you…is that ad hominem, obviously, the best that you can do, but is it meant as a refutation or some kind? Or are you just one of HH’s echoes? It really seems that the regulars here all have to march in step or else. This totally undermines any pretence about this site being one of serious conversation and instead only a Levy/ENIC hatefest. Constantlybanging a drum and then being upset when someone complains about the noise says it all.
Levy and Enic need to be removed but HOW? And what investor wants to inherit our massive debts and no doubt pay over the odds to acquire the club?
The whole team was absolutely nondescript in the first half last night! Did they know they were playing in a CL semi-final or are they just totally knackered in a threadbare squad that is the inevitable result of the efforts (or lack of!) of our esteemed chairman?
Been aware and surprised of your view on this for some time Easty, in terms of commitment and then form, from January onwards, his dropped off a cliff, it has been very noticeable. There’s him being erratic as per and then there’s this. Stats don’t fully highlight because he’s played in every fackin match, is the only creative midfielder we have and he runs about a lot but in terms of his ability to control a game, his commitment to put his foot in or his mental commitment to get involved and drive us forward or react to situations where our main CM is needed, all those things are at an all time low, he’s on half rations or just not showing up, not in the way he has done in previous seasons.
Definitely agree but it’s worse at the moment. That said, he’s also knackered due to the (lack of) depth in the squad and inability to rest him. Such a shame we didn’t wrap up top 4 before now. Could have rested them all (and dropped Alli full stop after last nights nondescript performance).
He wasn’t always this ‘sporadic’
Based upon comments by the same Madrid media hacks who lick Peres’s umm boots upon command? WTG! They have been doing this for decades and believing them is a denial of any respectable credibility.
Personally I don’t put Eriksen’s erratic form down to any potential transfer away. He’s always been erratic in terms of performance, it’s what he does…
Constantly saying “I’m not bloody paying that, how about half as much?” – is not a negotiation technique that’s going to lead to being told anything other than “fuck off”…
