This is the thing with everyone getting so angry at the club, acting like they mislead us about Poch and/or Conte - that Conte was just a con to convince people to renew their season tickets etc...

The club haven't announced anything. They didn't say "heads up, we're going to get Conte as our new manager", it's all media stories and bookmakers based on snippets of info they get, which we have no idea how genuine any of it is.

I'll wait until Spurs actually announce a rubbish new manager before I get annoyed about it.

Don't blame the messenger, Alisdair Gold only reports what is happening inside Tottenham to the best of his knowledge, which is usually spot on. Tell me something that he reported that wasn't true.

The real sh1tshow is Levy and ENIC pennypinching their way back to mid-table.

Pretty sure Sky sold a majority of the betting company a few years ago, but I may be mistaken

Spurs spoke with Conte. Why wouldn't they report it?

It's not all a conspiracy.

I think you may as well read what morespurs has to say, none of them really know what's going on

That’s far too sensible

Alli Gold gets his info direct from the club, they obviously tell him what they want people to know, whether it is factual or not.

Levy is very clever in this regard, drip feeding snippets of information at various appropriate times, to create excitement among the fans. How many times are we linked with a marguee signing only for nothing to happen, Levy mugs the fans off something rotten.

Alli Gold is a Spurs supporter equivalent of Sky Breaking News or Talkshitte. Most of it is total bollox that he posts, for every story he gets nearly right, he gets about 100 wrong.

Seriously, why are we even discussing this.

The media have been spinning it any way that suits them for years, without the slightest care for the truth.

Why do you think The News of the World folded. It wasn't because they were playing fair and above board.

They have been known to fabricate the truth in murder inquires, so football integrity is really not their concern.

It's all about selling more newspapers or more website "clicks" with the betting companies loving every minute of it.

These "reporters" stoop to lowest common denominator, which is basically a clickbait race
