IMO the fact there has been no quick public apology speaks volumes.
Could still happen. Guardian only ran with it a few hours ago for example.
Probably wishful thinking on my part tho.

Absolutely crucial that we don't sell him this summer. That's what he wants. Sell him now and it sets a precedent that if you kick up a fuss then we'll let you go and triple your wages elsewhere.
If Poch doesnt want him in his squad then sit him in the stands for a year. We have to put our foot down here or there could be an exodus.
It may have been Danny Rose’s sensational – and for once that term is appropriate – interview with The Sun published on Wednesday evening, but this is a Tottenham problem that started with Walker. The pair are good friends, have been teammates since 2009 and share the same agent, Mark Rankine. Rankine happens to be Rose’s uncle.
or all the obvious and understandable anger against Rose from large elements of Tottenham’s support, it is worth envisaging what we might do in a similar situation. Your flatmate has been approached by a company selling pensions and offered £60,000 a year to your £30,000. He will also be allowed to work from home and be given a company car for personal use. How long do you watch him roll off the drive before getting busy making plans?
that does not mean that Tottenham should be dissuaded from their aim, nor that supporters should lose faith. One of Rose’s public demands was that his club should sign players that he ‘didn’t have to Google’, but Rose may not have heard much about Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen, Heung-Min Son or Hugo Lloris before their arrival at White Hart Lane, yet he had certainly heard of Moussa Sissoko. Buying low and selling high when you eventually have to sell is the only viable strategy for a club below the top tier of English football’s financial food chain. If that makes Rose and Walker collateral damage, so be it.
Rose doesnt have a social media presence like the rest of the squad so hard to issue one quickly I would assume
This all smacks of being engineered. He has been tapped up and will move to Manure next Summer regardless of Spurs winning any trophies.Sky saying Utd sources say they have no interest in signing Rose this summer.
And that’s what I hate the most – the sheer dishonesty of it all. You want to move Danny? Fine, put in a transfer request? You want to give an interview saying you want to earn the money that you think you’re worth? Fine, give that interview. But to throw the entire club under the bus in the worst way you can? To try and destabilise the entire squad three days before our first game of the season? to try and blame others so you appear to be the victim?
F**k off Danny. No-one’s going to believe you’ve been treated badly by Tottenham and Pochettino – the team and manager that put you in the position you’re in. And seriously, giving the interview to The S*n? Have you no shame?
difficulty being Trix is that he probably isnt sorryIt would be incredibly easy to issue one through the club. If he can't forget how the fans reacted when he signed that contract he better have his social media hard hat on this morning.
Pep and Conte have both played with and managed hugely opinionated and outspoken players (and way more so than Rose) in their time. the idea that something like this would suddenly put them off is a tad naive IMO.I think you are probably right. I mean straight away there are now managers that would be thinking is he really worth the risk? Can he be trusted to keep things in house? Then how would his new team mates react to him? I just don't see his representatives orchestrating this at all, it makes no sense. I think straight away this rules out Conte having any interest and probably Pep as well.

If you could get him fit he'd be a beast. There's a reason United fans love him.
I don't actually mind Rose speaking to the press, but I'm from a different culture. I see a lot of comments about how Pochettino will react, and they are right. But what strikes me is, Daniel Levy is actually the person who will not stand for people being open and candid in the press. He hates that stuff, if I know anything about him.
What I cannot understand is how Rose counterproductively used this exclusive. He hasn't improved his market value, his hasn't improved his in-club standing and he hasn't build his own reputation. From a PR point of view, I think he blew it.
Shocked at the people defending him
You might as well just spread your cheeks for him. Cucks
He'll probably resign.
Sweet.
:dead:
Srsly?Have we peaked as a club under these owners?
There is no sign we actually want to compete financially at the top.
We are clearly punching above our weight, but this isn't sustainable.
The way things are looking the only way is down.
This could be the beginning of the end of this great team.
We have some of the best players in their positions in the entire league.
Far, far inferior players are getting paid alot more than ours.
Bottom line is we have to start playing our players top wages or they will leave.
Who's next? Rose? Toby? Dele? Eriksen? Lloris? Kane???
We are owned by a billionaire and are one of the richest clubs in world football.
We have to address this now or the team going into our new stadium will be a shadow of this team.
The ball is in Levy's court and if anymore of our top players leave it's on him and the owners.
Lots of journos saying there are plenty of players at Spurs who feel the same as Rose but don't have the balls to say it publicly.
“I am happy at Tottenham, I love my team-mates and the fans have been great for the last three years – but I got a lot of stick before Mauricio came to the club. I’ll never forget some of the things they were saying about me.
“Now I want to win things and I want to be in the starting eleven at the World Cup with England – if I have a good season, these things will sort themselves out.”
