Another insider familiar with the workings at both White Hart Lane and St Mary’s said of Spurs: ‘It doesn’t appear that they have a strategy of any ilk, it seems to be a case of seeing Southampton do things well so let’s take a short cut and hire their people.

‘It will work sometimes and others won’t go near them but ultimately it’s a naive approach. Sustainable success is not about individuals, it’s about a culture.’
Now that is interesting - an insider who is familiar with the workings at southampton.

Assuming MP's close team are staying loyal, that has to be Hoddle. Perhaps he has not gone on record as he fancies that he has a good chance of returning before the season is out. I think he might be right.

There's a very different slant on the situation from Jason Burt, someone I trust more than those imbeciles at The Daily Mail. He asks the pertinent question about why Baldini would hire two people, MP and PM, who would undermine him. Burt was very close to AVB and seems to have good insight about Spurs.

Fixing things on the pitch will take time and the vast majority of fans want Pochettino to be given time. There has been too much chopping, changing and blaming. Off the pitch the club just needs to show goodwill, talk to the fans more, resolve some of the uncertainties around the stadium and generally demonstrate that we’re seen as supporters and not just customers.

In a nutshell.

The insider is spot on, Levy is just bailing water out of a sinking ship.

Just another body in the firing line between the coach, DOF and Chairman. Levy just putting distance and responsibility between him and any hiring of players.
