Basically a rumour about betrayal and trying deliberately to lose and want to know if it was Spurs.

I happened to be flicking through the channels late last night and saw NFL on Five. The analyst (Mike Carlson) was mentioning a story that news of a goalie´s rib injury was leaked by the team´s own players or staff in order to destabilise an unpopular manager helping the opposition, and the opponents used that in their tactics against this team. I heard him saw the opponents he thought were Stoke but I missed the start of the conversation.

Anyone see it or got it taped? It was just before the half time with about 2 minutes to go in the 2nd quarter.

Im sure this isnt true. Stoke would have done it anyway to an out of form goalie who couldnt catch a cold (under Ramos).

Why was this mentioned on NFL coverage?

This thread is well confusing.

yeah sorry, wasn´t very clearly expressed. What I want to ask is...

Did someone at Spurs deliberately leak information to another team hoping Spurs would lose and Ramos would get sacked?

Not sure if the guy was on about Spurs, missed the start of the conversation but had the feeling it was plus I think he mentioned Redknapp after this....

think it was saying that football managers can turn teams around quickly after a change but NFL coaches, cos of more detailed tactics, are less likely to have a short term effect.

Stupid considering Gomes' injury was visible by anyone watching. He was put under a lot of pressure after his clangers and inability to catch crosses whilst clattering into his own players.

It wouldn't take a player to leak this information when everyone can just use there eyes.
