Probably, yeah. The Guardian does like a bit of click-bait for sure, but thought I'd post it anyway as there could be a connection between escalating costs and the changing rhetoric coming out of Poch in relation to future plans.
Poch's comment gives them a new narrative, something to loosely bind other stories too:
- Poch says he might not be here and it's difficult to compete
- Stadium costs escalating
- No money for new contracts on top player
- Key players looking to leave due to lack of investment
- NFL deal at risk due to Wembley
- Spurs could be hit with difficult times
- Players worry about direction of club, is the new stadium a white elephant
- Spurs rocked by tumbling London house prices
There's a months worth of negative articles there for them. We could all write this shit if you want to stir things up...
Or they could go the positive route:
- Poch convinced long term plan is secure with or without him
- Rising Stadium costs already factored in
- Spurs wont be strong-armed into unsustainable contracts
- Key players who share the vision will remain, whilst mercenaries will leave
- NFL deal has no connection to Wembley
- Spurs set-up to weather difficult times
- Players excited about direction of club, what will the new stadium bring?
- Spurs area bucks house price drops with regeneration plan
