When his team lost to West Ham he blames players for not being fit. It doesn't seem to occur to him that everyone knows it's his job to get them fit, and his decision to play them even though he knows they are not.

How long before someone in the media has the fucking wit or temerity to call him out on some of the bullshit he trots out ?

Tony Fernandes should fire his arse and get someone else in.....havnt got a clue who mind................hang on, what's Juande doing?

"I love how the article says........."i spent 4 hours talking to him about coming to Tottenham............... He signed for Chelsea soon after"

"Yeah Hedan Topnum is great, we do abit of running abat followed by a game of head tennis in the morning. I then take the team bus to this blinding pie and mash shop for lunch followed by a quick stop off at the dog track before going back to check the status of past triffic players contracts. You never know who you can pick up."

Mata and Hazard were both close.

Hazard would've been at Spurs had we got CL that year and Chelsea didn't.

Fucking Bayern Munich.

Would NEVER have spent the money on him. No matter what Redknapp says.

I disagree. All the talk was of us having lined him up but that he would only come if we qualified. Pretty sure the player himself said this in January. Something like £17m?

Anyway doesn't matter now but we got to really fucked over by that Chelsea win.

I think the problem is you've got two people who are talking about the fact that he 'nearly' came, one is Hazard, one is Redknapp. Neither of those people are/were ever involved with the money side of the deal. It's all well and good saying it, but the person holding the purse strings for us was the man never going to part with the money. I reiterate the stance I have always taken, if we had so much money lying around we (the transfer committee) would have spent it, but we didn't, we bought in a couple of freebies instead. Just doesn't stack up. I file this under the same as Mata, Moutinho, Willian and so on and so on, Levy was paying lip service to what the manager/coach wanted, claimed the deal couldn't be done and offered up a cheaper alternative.

Yeah, because Levy would have shipped out the money;)

I don't think Hazard would have picked us ahead of Chelsea, regardless of qualifying for the Champions League that year. He was using us to get more dosh out of Chelsea.

Fuck me you've all got short memories. Hazard spoke on TV about us in the Jan, saying how much he liked our style of football etc etc...however he also said that he would stay in France until the end of the season.


He then started to whore himself out to every Team including City and Chelsea who had money. Didn't he even do a cryptic thing about whether he was going to be playing in red or blue?

We were never going to get him CL or no CL. We couldn't ever have afforded the player

Kind of connected to Redknapp but it never ceases to amaze me how Managers go against what they know. QPR have looked so much better since he abandoned copying the latest fad of 4-2-3-1 and switched to a 4-4-2.

I'm actually looking forward to QPR vs City this weekend. Two teams playing 4-4-2 hopefully so it has the possibility of being an open game.
