Last year PHW said we couldn’t afford RVP’s wages and the party line was that we couldn’t compete with financially doped up clubs. We develop players and we identify value in the market. It’s ambitious talk this year. If they fail to live up to the hype this year, it won’t be forgiven. The hype hasnm#t been the same this year.
which was two weeks ago and contradicted by their president and since then, nothing. i'm not inclined to believe either of them - although perez even less so - because they are dodgy spaniards working a deal.
i've got no reason not to believe ian ayre of liverpool, despite him being a scouser, nor the president of napoli, who also is a dodgy italian but as far as i know no history of bs like perez.
it's like us saying we can afford rooney's wages. great. brilliant. i'm sure that we can. but at the moment the words mean nothing until someone backs them up, from somewhere.
We were largely sh*t in that run (performance wise) tbf, we got the results but rode our luck. In addition Spurs totally blew it from being 7 points ahead, it was a collapse of proportions we're familiar with.
So we did get the our fair share of luck along the way, if the rest of the league hadn't been so sh*t we'd have been nowhere near 4th place, we're just lucky it was last season.
