They were good players, mostly, spotted by M.P. Or Mitchell, and built into a decent side. They were then poached by bigger clubs. Happens all the time, nothing to do with the manager.
Oh I don't know if Real was the better option, he could have ended up nestled up between Charlie Dimmock's busy lizzie's
You show me a marquee player that Levy has willingly sold. They were all only sold after putting in transfer requests, and in some cases going on strike to force a move! All Levy has gone is extract the top price for them.
So he's sold them for what he believes is the right price which is what I said. He's never done what Everyon did with Stones last summer and simply refused to sell at any price.
II meant that they didn't leave because of not liking the manager. They left for their own ambitions - mostly fat wage cheques from the mousers. Anyway, most of them left after Pochettino had already gone.
Maybe Stones didn't push it hard enough. I suspect he'll be gone very soon anyway. When players refuse to play for you, or their minds are elsewhere, what's a chairman left to do. But, none of those players was willingly sold.
As I said, most left after Pochettino. Some would have willingly joined him at Spurs, but the funds weren't available, apart from Schneiderlin, who Saints flatly refused to let go to us.
