The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 18th June 2013

Sorry if this has been asked already but could someone please explain the Swedish scout bit?

 

[Mcdon92]

think jj is getting his newly appointed technical directors mixed up

So from what I can decipher of JJs ramblings:

We are not interested in Bernard. That is being fuelled by Darren Eales Swedish scouting mate who is a numpty.

Corinthians leaked a story of our interest in Paulinho to start a bidding war.

Baldini knows nothing about players.

David Pleat is the saviour of THFC and ladies of the night patrolling areas surrounding White Hart Lane.


Everyone needs to calm down. I remember JJ saying AVB was a fraud only a few months into his tenure. He then retracted it a couple of weeks later claiming that he had been having a bad day.

He had just seen us get done 5-2 by Arsenal and wasn't the only one who thought it though.

Good evening froma hot Southern China! It seems like I started something yesterday.
In China most people just follow WINNERS.
AVB, Bale and co can turn Spurs into winners. Mr Levy do us proud this window
This is how to attract more supporters.

Whereabouts do you live in China? My brother used to live in Huizhou (think i've spelt that right...).

 

[CJMurray]

You have to remember as JJ is supposedly overseas his information is most probably second hand, meaning that the ITK filtered through will be affected by the sources' opinion - This is the same source which painted AVB as a fraud originally.

I'm not too worried tbh.

I'm not sure if we're allowed to speculate on sources, but i'll do it anyway as i'm a rebel.

Anyone think JJ's is Sherwood? Would explain the AVB/Baldini opinions as it was well known that AVB/Sherwood didn't/don't get along and maybe Sherwood's pissed that Baldini's got the job he wanted?

We think there is a new Swedish scout who is a mate of Darren Eales the Chief Exec. And he may or may not be a numpty.

JJ is on twitter now basically saying that we aren't in for Bernard or Paulinho and that Baldini is shit at his job and that Pleaty is saving the day.

If we aren't/weren't in for Bernard why would Dante be shouting his mouth off saying he should go to Dortmund rather than Spurs? Unless Dante's been reading the ITK forums too?

Yep - reading his tweets he is certainly touchy when Sherwood is crtitiscised, so certianly close to him, imo. Sherwood is the type to leak stories with a negative impact on others to big up himself.

tbh it seems like JJ has had an agenda ever since Harry was sacked, coupled with a few of under the radar comments made by mods (who know who he is) i dont think he knows as much as he once did.

 

[mpickard2087]

What a hero Pleat is. Saving the day whilst everyone else around him crumbles.

Pleat for Director of Football, fuck Baldini!

 

[dovahkiin]

not sure if this should go in here, or if it has been posted..
billy white on coys (this is his first ever post so...well, posting it anyway)
We are very much so behind on a new shirt sponsorship deal. DL had been trying to acquire a combined shirt sponsor and naming rights (new stadium) sponsor for the next three years for a long time, but has had no luck in doing so. We are now scrambling to try and get ahold of something this week.

 

[Lilbaz]

How can baldini be shit at his job if he hasn't started yet?

 

[nedley]

Seems to me some people are laying into JJ because they don't like the info.

What if he's right?

He's not right or wrong.

Most of it is bloody opinion.

Pleaty? We'll be bringing back Shimbomba then.

I doubt very much he is TS, but he could be JJ's contact, and a marginalised powerbase could be why the negative slant has come in, although JJ had been increasingly negative ever since Moutinho fell through at the end of the summer window. Could be similar to the vitriol Dan Ashcroft spouted at HR after his mate Poyet left.

You thought he was a fraud at that point lol....

 

[Blackcanary]

I'm so confused that i'm going to go and do some work and hope all this makes more sense later. This is what this thread has driven me to. Actual work.:dead:

 

[DUNDALKSPUR]

Talking about Pleaty he was there for 3 days to look at a player in the first week of the U21 Championship.Dont know who ?I am not an ITK just passing on info from someone who spoke to DP before he went.

I am really struggling to see the ITK in all this. It reads to me all like opinion.

Have we forgotten why Pleaty was sacked last time and the mess Arnesen inherited from him ? I refuse to believe Levy would ever let him be in such a position of power again.
