Dele Alli has found an unlikely ally in former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan who has slammed the media for their coverage of the Tottenham midfielder’s burglary.
Speaking to Jim White on talkSPORT, Jordan called out Sky Sports in particular for the inhuman and opportunist way that they reacted to the ordeal that Dele and his family suffered last week, describing it as “horrible, nasty gutter reporting.”

I think he’s spot on here and so do a lot of other Spurs fans.
Simon Jordan was not happy with the media to Dele:

“Somehow Dele & his lifestyle are complicit in his downfall. It’s wrong!”
“Dele has a £150k watch? So what! He’s been held at knifepoint!”

I don’t normally like Simon Jordan but he very much has a point here.

Completely agree with this

There is enough public interest to justify reporting on this story, as we have done on The Boy Hotspur, but the tone has been shameful in a lot of cases.
Stopped listening when they blindly back the players over the wage issue and failed to acknowledge what the fans can see “what football has become” with all the greed not just right now.
He’s a young man who earns a lot of money. I’d say buying expensive watches is a pretty responsible way to spend it.
😂 it costs more than some people earn in a lifetime
Since the the imposed lock down, I can honestly say I’d forgotten that Talksh–e ever existed, which says it all really.
£150k for a watch. I hope it has 2 bedrooms and back yard!
