Media trained nonsense I’d imagine, mate.
Same with footballers that always have the same generic answers to questions. It’s why it’s always nice - even if sometimes you don’t like what you hear - the rare times some players just openly speaking their mind. Rose got a lot of **** back in the day for some of his interviews but some of them struck some home truths, likewise with Ekotto when he said he didn’t actually like football but it was a good job, there was a bit of a media frenzy over that but a lot of fans actually respected it. Pretty sure another footballer recently said similar, just can’t remember who.
I’d imagine managers are told to use specific words that the audience and fanbase can hopefully engage with on a positive note. It’s just as you’ve pointed out, we’ve heard the project stuff time and time again so it’s not really anything new. I do like Ange’s interviews and chats though, proper Aussie.
I think with Spurs fans in particular, we keep being told things will take time. But when will that thing actually arrive? Case in point with this window, the narrative is we’ll need a while to sort the squad and whilst that’s true, why do we often leave transfer windows feeling we could’ve at least done a bit more? As will be the case with regarding not replacing Kane.
This.
However, as I highlighted earlier, Liverpool have got rid of 5 midfielders, and signed 4 this summer. So where does this idea of it taking 3-4 windows to sort things out come from?
At this point it feels like some sort of delay tactic, keeping success on the pitch at arms length, and at a level where a levy is in his comfort zone.
I wish Ange all the best, but I literally cannot fathom how our transfer business after selling Kane has not been better than this.
