Might be an element of that for the future.
But seems unlikely to have been announced in this way if DA was leaving the club in the short term.
As has already been suggested, this makes me think DA is getting an even more senior role meaning he requires some more help.
I think when the time is right he comes in for Veltman.
As good as Joel has been, Dunk is an upgrade and will also add an attacking threat at set pieces.
Also means Veltman can be free to cover Tariq.
You might well be 100% right.
But without knowing the situation it’s difficult to know.
It could just as easily be that Spurs had agreed to hold on to those tickets and then changed their mind, we asked for them today expecting them to be available and been told they aren’t.
Without...
You might well be right
But without knowing what has been said, it’s difficult to know what the mistake was other than a miscommunication at the beginning, which again could well have been done in good faith.
Taking 5,700 at first was exactly the right decision, it’s just the terms...
No but I’d imagine he is like any decent manager.
Back them when they make mistakes in public but deal with them privately.
Isn’t that how we would all like to be dealt with at work if we make a mistake.
Lot of people on this thread who seem to know the inner workings of the Albion ticket office and the negotiations between the two clubs.
Has anyone considered it might have been Spurs who changed their mind ?
Just as likely as any of the Anti-barber conspiracies on here.
The club could...
What guy ?
Barber ?
I’d very much doubt he is the person who made the call on this, we have a ticketing manager for a reason and I’d imagine this decision was theirs.
Exactly … didn’t even get on to the academy produced players pushing for 1st team involvement.
Unless someone is leaving, can’t see the need to be spending that kind of cash on another CB
Can’t see it as I read an article that quoted £16m
With Dunk, Duffy, Webster, Veltman, Burn plus Roberts, Van Hecke, Ostigard and Clarke I really can’t see our need.
Jury still out for me on Gerrard
Even Neil Lennon won the SPL
I’m sure he will go on to be a good manager but seems to be getting a lot of praise when he hasn’t achieved much yet outside the SPL
Exactly how I feel about it…… the name is obviously going to be crap, just something we have to live with along with all the other embarrassing crap that’s happened on Dan Synder’s watch
