I appauld our tight lipped approach to all things from Stadium to players (targets to existing) even though there are frustrations that we experience as we are all thirsty for Tottenham stuff. Our silence though always means that the press have the opportunity to make-up or twist a story knowing that The Club will not come out and confirm or deny.
A knock on consequence of the above silence is a very recent story running about Tottenham being the only club not happy with Steve Holland working in the England set-up whilst working for Chelsea. During this story Tottenham have been painted as being "anti-Chelsea", unreasonable and all round bad guys. When you join the dots its not hard to see why we are unhappy with Holland, given that not only is he Southgate's assistant (and will be for for the "big" job, he is still Eng U21 assistant manager!! Who the bad guys now?
Ditto, The Times and their paywall.
There seems to be a lot of bad blood with ourselves and Chelsea. Which strangely goes as far back as maybe the point Levy laughed off the suggestion of selling us to Abramovich. Then the way they took Arnesen from us and countless other failed transfers they 'took' from under our noses.
I am not sure if England will be training at Hotspur Way again if Holland is the assistant manager as he would very definitely get an insight into our internal coaching and operations. Surely it's a conflict of interest if he is still a Chelsea coach and assistant coach for England.
