To add to Daniel Levy’s woes, it looks as if the whole Gareth Bale situation at Spurs has unravelled, which fast-tracks us from ‘expensive fairytale’ territory, straight into how things were at Real Madrid and the Welshman, which is to say frosty as you like.
When asked about Bale, it was clear that Mourinho was singularly displeased that Bale posted what was essentially a lie on his Instagram account ahead of the Everton game. His training did not go well at all. The truth was that Gareth says he felt something, asked for a scan, and the scan showed nothing.
Regrettably, this is precisely how daft suggestions gather momentum in the hands of characters such as the Redknapp’s. One can hear them now, ‘Well, e’ said e’ trained alright. The problems wiv’ José, innit?!’ Oh, but were life so simple.
Sadly for Bale, Mourinho spilled the beans and now everyone knows that the player that Zinedine Zidane could no longer rely upon is at the same level with Tottenham.
The contradiction between the social media post and the reality would only ever put further pressure on the Spurs gaffer; should Bale continue to only make cameo appearances. How can a coach select a player, with such a bad injury track record, when that player is the one raising concerns. A player that asked for a scan?
I take a view that such a colossal misdirection of club funds demands a statement from Daniel Levy. Or was it someone else that lost their mind and approved this loan deal?
Be fair, I think (most) of us thought it seemed like a good idea at the time. Hindsight and all that.
Seems like the boy is happy to coast into early retirement and turn up for his country every now and again
Bale and his agent have conned Spurs and their misguided supporters,simple as that.Hope they’re proud of themselves.
I have a cloth Levy can buy, he can use it to wipe the egg off his face over the Bale re signing …
Money on it he thought he’d be hailed a hero. Instead he’s really the laughing stock of boardrooms across the league 😂
I liked him as a player sturridge
Bale loves Spurs and we love Bale but this this saga is going to end leaving a sour taste on both sides. The whole Golf then Real sctick appears to be closer to the truth than I first beleived and there was more to it than Bale being simply ostracized by the Spanish media. It would make you wonder how much background checking Levy did around Bales mental state before jumping head first into this money pit of a transfer. Tough negotiator my arse.
I don’t feel so good myself – just reading about it!
Hahahaha! A plot is afoot!
Yup. Levy has eclipsed the worst deal ever.
Praise indeed!
Correct, as ever!
It is a sad state of affairs all round stealing £600k pw and we used to laugh at the Arse/Ozil
Zidane was right about Bale. You only have to watch him on the bench with a smile on his face to know he can’t believe his luck. He is finished as a star footballer. He is no Ronaldo and his heart is not in playing professional football at the highest level. That brings up the judgement of Levy who has wasted the best part of a mill a week on Bale’s wages. Does any Spurs fan really believe that this inept, overpaid and overrated CEO should be running the club? Enic supporters need to get real. It doesn’t matter who the manager is, Levy will always f**k it up. He cannot help himself. Time for the wannabe President of Patagonia, Joe Lewis to sack him.
Is Daniel Levy controlling Bales instagram?? 😶
This is worrying, I think we are entering what is known as “Daniel Sturridge” territory.
All the tests are negative, the medics and physios can find nothing but player X feels something there, fear of making it worse inhibits his performance, his performances deteriorate.
The coach says sometimes a professional footballer has to play through the pain. The player is unconvinced. We know how that one ended.
