Did you watch the talk sport clip because that's not why he says he left Charlton or is he lying. He said or should I say white said i joined to win trophies & play in the champions league. He agreed. The rest of the clip is far more interesting unless you happen to be a Enic fan. I liked Daniel & we could have done with him in January but let's not pretend the Lewis family care about Tottenham.

No , don't listen to or watch Talkbrick, only bit that amused me was the lower wages, so Murphy couldn't get a game at Charlton, Jol says I can give you game time but Daniel says it will have to be on lower wages and Murphy agrees to the move , think I have read similar stories with other players.

Jordan is a failed football club owner that took Palace into administration , exactly the sort of owner the "football regulator" doesn't want running football clubs in this country, I have zero reason to listen to anything he says.

So Daniel would say we will sign you but you will have to take a pay cut. Exactly what people have been complaining about we don't pay like a top six club

Surprisingly Jordan sticks up for Daniel a lot & is accused of sticking up for his friend but he isn't much of a fan of Lewis family. A lot of failed businessman out there doesn't mean we shouldn't listen now & then. I disagree with a lot of what Jordan says but on this occasion he is right.

There's a difference between paying a player what he's worth, in this case Murphy and offering a top class player what they are worth, so we can sign them, like a top 6 club. The former was the right thing to do, it's the latter where we have issues.

This is the poorest of examples to make a case on :)

Almost embarrassing.

It takes a player to actually reveal their relative wages for a solid conversation to be had. In this case we have Murphy telling us his truth. He also mentions that our top players at the time were not paid as much as the guys at Liverpool. Which tbf at the time makes sense. They largely had a better squad than our own, but a real a significant way to bridge that gap is to do either by finding top talent before them or paying competitively to attract the very best talent we can. In both regards we've generally failed apart from short periods.

What ever is going on, there's a lot of well paid and supposedly qualified people running the club making some absolute stinkers of decisions.

The guy running the club for 25 years leaves & from the outside it looks like it's turned to brick. Let's hope inside the building they have it under control & are not running around like headless chickens

The point I'm making is it's a poor example.
Murphy was a player who wasn't playing as he was out of favour at Charlton.
So we offer and pay the going rate (even lowball given his situation) for a player who is out of favour at a club like Charlton.
The added value (beyond the money) to Murphy is it's a lifeline to a bigger club at a misfiring point of his career.
What's the argument?...we should have paid him more?

This is nothing like the Mane situation etc
 
Do you think all of the brick in the media the last 3 or 4 weeks happens if the little bald fella was here?

We have issues at board level apparently, sponsors apparently ready to break contracts, players not being professional, never happened under Levy’s watch, maybe he left before the ship started sinking?

Scott Munn opens up on Tottenham frustration and why club gets so many injuries

The club's former chief football officer has taken part in an interview in his homeland and opened up on his time in north London
www.football.london www.football.london

Interesting from Scott Munn, particularly as it pertains to his recommendations for a medical team overhaul not being adopted in full.

""We did a review into every department – the academy, medicine, everything… So yes, that happened. We wanted to come through with a number of changes and take the medical department to a level that equated to a big club in England. Unfortunately, we couldn’t make the changes we recommended – some parts were accepted, other parts weren’t. That wasn’t an optimal outcome," said Munn."

I remember a few years ago, reading that the club had issues with the number of a particular manager's staff that he wanted to bring over from his old club, and the size of his coaching staff overall. We limited the number of coaches he brought over and asked that he work with a smaller team - think it might have been Nuno.

I remember thinking this was ass-backwards - to save a couple of million in coaching wages, we were willing to risk handicapping a manager we had spent millions bringing over, and a playing squad worth hundreds of millions.

I wouldn't be surprised if the same penny-wise, pound-foolish approach was why these medical staff overhauls Munn wanted weren't approved.

Also might be why we didn't have an in-house psychotherapist/psychologist until Frank, when increasingly, every top club has multiple staff with these qualifications to manage the mental wellness of their players.

The general impression remains that at times, we're run like a club in the 2000s. That's fine for the 2000s and just about worked for the 2010s, but now it means we're 20-30 years behind the times.
