Redknapp has the IQ of a remedial budgerigar.

If he knew more about it he wouldn't be so ill informed, what he's suggesting that we break our wage structure and pay beyond our means, basically spend money we can't afford, it's such a shit narrative perpetuated by ignorant people who fail to refuse to understand what is happening at Spurs.

Maybe been seen already but just caught this, can't say I disagree with much of it.
I agree with this, but what this basically means is that we cannot afford to pay what the top players want unless we put ourselves in trouble, therefore the pundits do have a point that we might not be able to keep them. It’s just the repetitiveness of it all that does me in.
They have a habit of whispering how well the club is run, the amount of English players we’re playing etc but then shout loudly about how we can’t afford to keep them. Then they’ll moan when they fuck off abroad. I think only Jenas has said what a greatly run club we are and that’s probably because he’s biased. All the main pundits just follow each other, their first statements after a win is ‘can we keep Kane/Alli/Eriksen’ etc. It’s boring. I’ve noticed a few lesser known pundits like ex championship players are very complimentary about us and the way we’ve done things.
Out of all the Sky Saturday lot, I only have time for Le Tissier and even he says odd stuff at times, though is generally fair.
Interesting piece from highly respected journalist Jonathan Wilson about our current position: https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...ongevity-economic-gravity-mauricio-pochettino
I would say, however, that we've been through it before and come out of the other side (with Bale), so I think we'll be fine. It's also a bit weird that he's suggesting that the fans should be so worried about it. So, what, we're all supposed to just go and support City now?
As a Sunderland fan, he should know better.
I must say, though, I was shocked at the gulf in revenue between us and United. That is massive.
Good article. The last sentence sums it up perfectly i think:
'The game is about glory? Perhaps. But these days it is mainly about money.'

What a gloomy, negative almost spiteful article.
Sure, it's going to be really tight to finish in the top 4 this season, but I'm really looking forward to it, and the challenge of the Champions League where we have Juventus in the last 16.
We've stuttered a bit over the past couple of months, but on the whole we've still managed to play some of the most thrilling, entertaining and attacking football in the league and we have some of the best, talented and coveted footballers in Europe in our team.
I do agree with the writer that we probably have one more season (in our new stadium) with the bulk of the current 'star' players, however I don't feel concerned, nor ever have, about players leaving, and it's laughable to even contemplate that I might have sleepless nights about the "state of the stadium in thirty years' time".
And as for "Teleological dread"? You can f*ck right off to 'Pseud's corner', mate - Poch has built a lovely team that I'm really proud of.

Interesting it comes at the same time as a long article on the global brand 'City' who are buying up teams all over the globe and subsuming them into an impersonal corporate machine. If that's the future of football, it is a very dark one.
It's also 'interesting' how eager most football journalists are to help build that brand by creating narratives around Man City that romanticise their achievements and gloss over the money propping the whole thing up.
