Spurs have been under a considerable amount of scrutiny this season. It’s hardly surprising that Daniel Levy has become a focal point for the angst among fans, for 22 years there has been a continuous revolving door of first-team coaches, but very little, close to nothing in the way of tangible success. One factor worth pondering must be the extraordinarily long contracts awarded to players that simply haven’t been up to scratch.
Football, as Jimmy Greaves used to say, is indeed, ‘a funny old game’. In football, the phrase, a loyal servant is a familiar praise afforded to men that haven’t quite done enough. In any other business masters that pay wages only look to reward success. William Gallas was a fine footballer, who, prior to making 78 appearances for us, won two Premier League titles at Chelsea. He captained Arsenal.
Gallas, speaking to The Boy Hotspur Substack [£] doesn’t believe Eric Dier is all that good at playing football. Antonio Conte thought Dier was getting better…
Daniel Levy has much to do, something has to change.
Spurs face a tough test this evening as a buoyant Manchester United side will come to call this evening with just one thing on their mind. After the humiliating result against Newcastle United last week, every team we play will be looking to open the same wound. Any side that concedes so many goals in such a short space of time in a Premier League match will undoubtedly be marked. At which point, it might be worth remembering that Manchester United were beaten 7-0 by Liverpool earlier in the season.
