Heard from my friend at THFC that there was a big disagremment at senior management level. Poch and the board had a very big argument regarding the board not backing Poch specificlly regarding Ath Madrid buying Greizmann. What I heard was Poch was furious spurs didn't match the bid from Ath Madrid as that was the main barrier for him joining us. Would appreciate other feedback on this. Can ed's shed any light on this? Heard Rojo is being looked at (argentina LB). do you know if there is any truth to this?

Cheers

Are you sure your mate isn't a gooner in disguise Connor?
No disrespect my friend but he said lamela was desperate for a move to Italy, yet he seems pretty happy with poch to me.

ssn reporters thought we weren't interested in griezman in the first place (maybe he was too expensive)

{Ed008's Note - Their is info regarding the Griezmann bid from Spurs on the pages from Ed001/Ed002.

Do any of you have a real world job?
If so, in which business would a "senior management bust up" be leaked and posted onto a rumor site?!
Or is your friend actually Daniel Levy?

I do enjoy the speculation, but some of these posts say a lot about the people posting them!

Haha spursrdeemer he very well could be. He mentions things to me and I just regurgitate it. Sometimes he is right, sometimes he is wrong. I don't know anyone else really in football so I can't validate what he tells me hence why I put it here.

Sorry was quite drunk when I wrote last nights, specifically he was saying it was regarding getting financing for deals which is where the frustration came from. Just what I was told could be utter rubbish…Senior management was my way of saying decision makers as I don't know the structure or how it operates.

To Spurs1976 I would argue Bruno Iksil's 6 Billion pound loss and the fall out that ensued was regarding senior management. I was made aware of the bust up about 5 months before it made the news while they tried to unwind. JP is a multi-national giant.

What's the surprise in a row at the club between senior level staff finding it's way on to the internet? People with grudges, grievances, agendas leak stuff all the time at all levels of business, politics, etc. THFC PR do it all the time, especially during transfer windows. Where do you think most the transfer stories in media come from?

And not really unusual if Poc did have a bust up with Levy for not buying the players he's asked for is it. we've been here before a few times.

If MoPo and Levy are at odds already that does not bode well, especially if the rumors of AVB and Levy falling out were behind his departure.

How long before Joe Lewis steps in and let's football people run the business operations and finance people take care of the books.

@Yellow-card

I'd say fairly long considering J Lewis main aim is to invest as little as possible in the club.

I'd say Poc was safe for now, even if we finish below 6th this year. Levy can use the new stadium as an excuse for not spending much in the windows. That's how he's going to 'sell' the upcoming poor seasons to the fans. They'll be no pushing for CL 4th spot anymore. Poc will only get the push if he does a harry and starts badgering the management for players and leaks his dissatisfaction to the press.

The Eds suggested that Levy might be on a short leash a few days ago. Lewis wants to see CL football to ensure the success of the new stadium.

Levy can't feel too secure the number of missteps of late.

Why is it that when I think about past successful teams; it is the "manager" that has shone as the lead character.

Will Mr Levy ever take a back seat and let a manager make his mark?

Its sad that the most conversations I have had over the past few years is about people coming or going, less about our football.

We need a manager that lasts more than 2 seasons before he can be a "lead" figure . Not many of Levy's appointments get that much time.
