Piers wakes up to what Tottenham fans have known years
It is not often I find myself agreeing
with Piers Morgan; a man I universally loath, but his views on Tottenham
Hotspur and the manner in which the football club is run is
something which the majority of supporters will wholeheartedly agree
with. Piers has saluted Tottenham recruiting British talent and not
following the route of other clubs, including his beloved Goons, in
going down the foreign route in order to achieve success.To be
fair to Piers he needed our very own Lord Sugar to put him straight on
the matter, after our former chairman texted him in the wake of their
2-2 comeback against Barca:Sugar : “I would have applauded your lot’s
British bulldog spirit, only you don’t have any ****ing Brits in the
team.”Morgan: “Assou- Ekotto, Kranjcar and Pavlyuchenko weren’t exactly born
within the sound of the Bow Bells, now were they?”Sugar:
“Bloody cheek! I can name eight
British players around the Spurs first team without even thinking about
it.”Indeed it is true and when you look at the Premier
League in general, Tottenham are streets ahead of anyone else on that
front. With English owners, English manager and plenty of British
players within our ranks we are proving that there is a plethora of
talent closer to home and being that we are on the cusp of our third
successive cup final, our hopes of qualifying for Champions League in
our own hands, given we have to play City, it is clear that a little bit
of faith can go a long way instead of bowing down to the cheaper
foreign option.I don’t think we get enough credit for our policy
and why rivals clubs probably don’t see the significance, the future of
the England team depends
on clubs like our who are prepared to give English players regular game
time. I suppose it is no wonder that White
Hart Lane appears to be something of a second home for Fabio Capello
on match days.
