Ah the old "please go back and reread" I don't need to. I just read it ten minutes ago. Seems pretty clear what's being implied. And i don't think it's a good point at all.
I think Rupert was well within his rights to be pretty p:ssed off with that whole situation. And i don't think he "stirred up" any feelings that weren't there in the first place for the majority of fans already.
Hoddle not only chose to leave us at a pretty sh:tty time in the season but then thought he could just come back and ride rough shod over us and take our best players.
My only reason for not being too upset when he left was the fact that like Redknapp he obviously never really had a feel for the club. Always talking about the club as a seperate entity...never "we" or "us" but instead "they" etc. But we've all gone over all this ground countless times...some are willing to forgive...some are not. Personally i can't stand Hoddle and wouldn't want the smug tw::t anywhere near this club again.
If you were perfectly happy for Hoddle to leave at the time then i'd have to say that's a very mature attitude you've taken there. But you certainly weren't in the majority.
As always Lowe would appear to be damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. Any other chairman coming out and standing up for his club would normally be seen as a good thing but not here. I felt so sorry for Levy when he came out and complained about nasty Man United and there bully boy tactics regards Berbatov...when they obviously do exactly the same sort of things themselves time and time again. Hypocrisy in football? Difficult to believe...
Oh and just so you know i don't have a desire to be on any political bandwagon...but like others do like to point out when people are talking what i believe to be utter sh:te...
