IT
IT WILL
IT WILL RE-AIR TOMORROW NIGHT AT 6:30 AFTER IT AIRS TODAY AT
3:30.
3:30.
3:30. TIME NOW FOR SUNDAY MORNING'S
"BOOM ROOM" WHERE WE'RE FOCUSING
ON TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR.
LET'S BRING YOU SOME OF THE
SOUND FROM YESTERDAY.
HALFTIME BOOS.
HALFTIME BOOS. LOSING AGAINST MANCHESTER
UNITED.
UNITED.
UNITED. LUCAS MORA WAS SUBBED OFF IN THE
SECOND HALF.
SECOND HALF. ON COME BERGWIJN WHEN THEY
CHANTED YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE DOING AT NUNO.
>> AND THEN TOWARDS THE END OF
THE GAME, MORE CHANTS OF LEVY
OUT AND MORE BOOTS AT THE FINAL
WHISTLE.
WHISTLE.
WHISTLE. AFTER THE GAME, AN HONEST ASSESS
MEANT FROM HOIBERG.
>> PIERRE, VERY DIFFICULT TO
EXPRESS WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT
GAME.
GAME.
GAME. IT
GAME. IT WAS A REALLY BAD DAY FOR
SPURS.
SPURS.
SPURS. >>
SPURS. >> YEAH, YOU SAID IT.
YEAH, TO SHOW UP LIKE THIS,
TO -- TO PRESENT OURSELVES LIKE
THIS, YEAH.
THIS, YEAH. IT'S UNACCEPTABLE, AND AT HOME
WHERE THERE SHOULD BE FIREWORKS
AND DETERMINATION AND -- AND
CHARACTER REALLY BEING PUSHING
HIGH, WASN'T THERE THROW AND,
YEAH.
YEAH.
YEAH. I
YEAH. I BETTER NOT SAY TOO MUCH.
>> HOJBJERG AFTER WHAT WAS A
DISMAL DAY FOR TOTTENHAM LOSING
AGAINST MANCHESTER UNITED TODAY.
WE'RE FOCUSING ON TOTTENHAM.
WHERE DO YOU THINK THE MALAISE,
ROBBIE, THAT WE'RE SEEING RIGHT
NOW STARTED?
NOW STARTED? >> ACTUALLY I THINK IT STARTED
YEARS AGO, I THINK UNDER
POCHETTINO, THERE WAS A TIME
TOWARDS THE END WHEN THEY WERE
STRUGGLING.
STRUGGLING. HE WANTED AND NEEDED TO
STRENGTHEN THE SQUAD, AND HE
WENT TO THE CHAIRMAN.
HE WAS VERY PUBLIC ABOUT IT
BECAUSE HE SAW WHAT I THINK
WEAVE ALL SEEN HAPPENING OVER
THE SUBSEQUENT FEW YEARS.
THE SQUAD IS GETTING OLDER.
STILL PLAYERS THERE THAT HAVE
BEEN THERE A LONG, LONG TIME.
NEEDED A REFRESHING AND NEED
ADEQUATE.
ADEQUATE.
ADEQUATE. DANIEL LEVY HAS A LOT TO ANSWER
FOR.
FOR.
FOR. I
FOR. I THINK ON THE POSITIVE SIDE THE
STADIUM IS INCREDIBLE.
WEAVE BEEN TO THE TRAINING
GROUND, UNBELIEVABLE TRAINING
GROWN, BUT KEY DECISIONS
THROUGHOUT THE YEARS HAVE BEEN
DISAPPOINTING ONES.
DISAPPOINTING ONES. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, JUST ONE THING
SPRINGS TO MY MIND BACK IN THE
POCHETTINO TIME THEY WERE CLOSE
TO SIGNING BRUNO FERNANDES AND
WE KNOW HOW WELL THAT PLAYER HAS
DONE AT MAN UNITED AND THEY
DIDN'T REACH THE VALUATION.
KIND OF TYPICAL OF DANIEL LEVY.
KNOW HE'S A WHEEL-DEALER.
MAYBE THAT'S THE WRONG TERM.
A HARDER NEGOTIATOR AND WALKS
AWAY FROM DEALS.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HARRY KANE.
AND THEN THERE'S BEEN KIND OF A
STEADY DROP-OFF.
STEADY DROP-OFF. >> I REMEMBER THOSE DAYS WITH
POCHETTINO WHEN HE WAS CLEARLY
MISERABLE AND WOULD GO INTO
PRESS CONFERENCES SAYING I'VE
TOLD THE BOARD AND THE CHAIRMEN
WE NEED TO RECYCLE AND GET
BETTER PLAYERS IN.
HE WAS ALMOST ASKING TO BE FIRED
BECAUSE HE WAS SO MISERABLE.
DO YOU AGREE THAT THEY SHOULD
HAVE LISTENED TO HIM RATHER THAN
GET RID OF HIM?
>> 100%.
>> 100%.
>> 100%. TALK ABOUT CHANGING THEIR
MANAGERS.
MANAGERS.
MANAGERS. THEY HAD -- THEY HAD THE BEST
MANAGER FOR TOTTENHAM FOOTBALL
CLUB.
CLUB.
CLUB. THEY SACKED HIM.
TO YOUR POINT, DANIEL LEVY IS A
WHEEL-DEALER, A BEST
BUSINESSMAN.
BUSINESSMAN. HAD THE BEST COACH THEY HAD IN A
LONG TIME.
LONG TIME. DIDN'T GIVE HIM THE FUNDS AND
RESOURCES TO FRESH THE SQUAD,
AND HERE WE ARE ONCE AGAIN
TALKING ABOUT WHERE IS THIS
PROJECT?
PROJECT?
PROJECT? DIDN'T SELL HARRY KANE WHICH I
THOUGHT WAS AN ASTRONOMICAL FEE.
SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE MONEY.
HE DIDN'T.
HE DIDN'T. WE'RE SEEING HOW THAT IS
UNFOLDING AND NOT IN A VERY GOOD
WAY.
WAY.
WAY. LET
WAY. LET ME ALSO SAY, WE SAW THE
PICTURES AND SAW THE BOOS.
THAT'S SO INCREDIBLY UNFAIR ON
NUNO.
NUNO.
NUNO. WHETHER THEY -- HE'S ONLY HAD
TWO, THREE MONTHS AT THE JOB.
HE'S INHERITED THIS HARRY KANE
PROBLEM AN INHERITED A SQUAD
THAT I DON'T THINK -- WHEN I
LOOK AT LAST SEASON, SON WAS
FANTASTIC, HARRY KANE WAS
FANTASTIC.
FANTASTIC. THEY HAVEN'T SIGNED ANYBODY
WHERE YOU THINK, AH, NOW WE'RE
GOING TO GET BETTER.
THEY NEED TO PUMP THE BRAKES A
LITTLE BIT IN TERMS OF BOOING
NUNO.
NUNO.
NUNO. HE
NUNO. HE HAS HIS FAULTS.
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THOSE.
WHAT ARE THE FAULTS THAT THE
SPURS FANS SEE, DO YOU THINK?
>> I THINK -- I'VE GOT TO GO
BACK TO DANIEL LEVY WHEN AFTER
MAKING A CONTROVERSIAL HIGH OF
JOSE MOURINHO DIDN'T WORK, HE
THEN STATED, I'M GOING TO
PARAPHRASE IT A LITTLE BIT.
OPEN ENTERTAINING, EXCITING
FOOTBALL IS WHAT WE WANT AND
THEN D'ANTONIO.
THEN D'ANTONIO. THIS ISN'T REALLY HIS FAULT AND
TO GO BACK TO ANSWER YOUR
QUESTION, THE FOOTBALL HAS NOT
BEEN GREAT AND I THINK FANS KNOW
THAT'S BEEN COUNTERATTACKING
FOOTBALL AND IT'S GOING TO BE
REACTIVE FOOTBALL AND TEAMS
GETTING IN THE GOOD SHAPE AND
THEY REACT TO MISTAKES OR THEY
TRY AND PRESS, ET CETERA, ET
CETERA.
CETERA.
CETERA. I
CETERA. I WILL GO BACK TO THE FIRST DAY
OF THE SEASON.
I REMEMBER THE FIRST GAME
AGAINST MAN CITY, THE STADIUM
WAS BOUNCING.
WAS BOUNCING. THE PERFORMANCE WAS REALLY GOOD
EVEN THOUGH IT WAS KIND OF
PRAGMATIC, EFFICIENT AND I
REMEMBER THINKING THIS LOOKS ALL
RIGHT.
RIGHT.
RIGHT. IT'S ONLY THE FIRST DAY.
TO GO FROM THAT, AND THE STADIUM
ATMOSPHERE ON DAY NUMBER ONE TO
YESTERDAY, I MEAN, A SHOCKING,
SHOCKING DIFFERENCE.
SHOCKING DIFFERENCE. >> IF WE GO BACK TO THE OPENING
GAME OF THE SEASON THERE WAS
STILL A CHANCE BECAUSE THE
TRANSFER WINDOW WAS OPEN THAT
HARRY KANE COULD HAVE LEFT.
>> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. >> HE DIDN'T PLAY IN THE OPENING
GAME OF THE SEASON.
HOW MUCH IS HARRY KANE THE
PROBLEM?
PROBLEM?
PROBLEM? >> WELL, IT'S DIFFICULT BECAUSE
I THOUGHT BY NOW THIS HANGOVER.
HE HAD HIS HEAD TURNED BY
MANCHESTER CITY AND NOW WE'LL
GET BACK TO BUSINESS HASN'T
HAPPENED.
HAPPENED.
HAPPENED. THAT'S ON HIS PLATE.
HE'S A WORLD CLASS PLAYER AND
CAPTAIN OF ENGLAND.
HE NEEDS TO SORT THAT OUT.
THE ISSUE THAT I HAVE NOW IS I
DON'T THINK NUNO SHOULD DROP
HIM.
HIM.
HIM. I
HIM. I THINK HE'LL COME GOOD.
HE'S THAT KIND OF A PLAY, BUT
HE'S WITHIN HIS RIGHT AS A
MANAGER TO SAY YOU'RE NOT
PERFORMING.
PERFORMING. THE BODY LANGUAGE DOESN'T LOOK
AMAZING.
AMAZING.
AMAZING. HE HAS A RIGHT TO DROP HARRY
KANE WHICH IS GOING TO CAUSE
MORE PROBLEMS I THINK.
HOW BAD DOES THAT LOOK, 100%?
I AGREE WITH THAT.
TO YOUR POINT.
THE FANS, AND AS MUCH AS I SAID,
THEY NEED TO PUMP BRAKES, IT'S
NOT NECESSARILY HIS FAULT.
>> WITH THE FOOTBALL CLUB SAYING
THEY -- THEY WANT TO PLAY OPEN,
EXCITING STYLE OF FOOTBALL,
YOU'VE JUST HIRED NUNO WHO IS
ESSENTIALLY NOT NEARLY AS GOOD
AS JOSE MOURINHO WHICH CREATED
THE PART, THE BUS PRAGMATIC
APPROACH TO FOOTBALL SO YOU'VE
ALMOST LIED TO YOUR FAN BASE SO
I CAN UNDERSTAND WHERE THEY ARE
COMING FROM.
COMING FROM. THERE'S A FEW MIXED MESSAGES AND
THE RESULTS HAVEN'T BEEN GREAT.
>> I KNOW THAT WHEN THE TRANSFER
TO CITY DIDN'T HAPPEN, YOU FELT
SORRY FOR HARRY KANE.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> DO YOU STILL FEEL SORRY FOR
HIM?
HIM?
HIM? >>
HIM? >> IT'S A CRAZY DECISION NOT TO
LET HIM GO.
EARNED OVER A LONG PERIOD.
SPURS HAVE DONE GREAT.
SIGNING A LONG CONTRACT.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
YOU'RE RIGHT. WASN'T STRUCTURED WELL ENOUGH TO
PROTECT HIM IN THE FUTURE.
HE WANTED SPURS TO RECEIVE
MAXIMUM DOLLARS FOR HIS SERVICES
WHEN IT WAS TIME TO LEAVE.
HE SAID IT WAS TIME TO LEAVE.
SOME KIND OF SO-CALLED
GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT.
GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT. OUR OWN DAVID ORNSTEIN QUOTING A
FIGURE OF $120 MILLION POUNDS
WAS HIS UNDERSTANDING.
THE MAXIMUM THAT CITY WERE
PREPARED TO PLAY AND DANIEL LEV
SAID NO, AROUND -- AND RIGHT NOW
GIVEN WHAT WE'VE JUST TALKED
ABOUT AT AT SQUAD, THEY COULD
HAVE DONE WITH THAT MONEY TO
REBUILD.
REBUILD.
REBUILD. COULD HAVE ABSOLUTELY DONE THAT
MONEY TO REBUILD AND NOW WHAT
YOU'VE DO THE IS A MISERABLE
DEPRECIATING ASSET THAT DOESN'T
WANT TO BE THERE AND THE NEW
DIRECTOR OF FOOTBALL THAT THEY
HAVE GOT THERE, REBECCA, IS
PROBABLY LIKE, I'VE BROUGHT IN
TO SIGN PLAYERS.
I THOUGHT I'D BE GETTING THE
HARRY KANE MONEY AND NOW YOU'VE
GOT THE HORRIBLE SITUATION OF
KANE, LIKE HARRY KANE, GET
YOURSELF TOGETHER.
YOURSELF TOGETHER. >> SURE.
>> SURE.
>> SURE. >> AND YEAH, YEAH, I -- I FEEL,
THAT AND I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT
I STILL THINK GUY IS DIFFICULT
WHEN YOU'VE GOT YOUR HEART AND
MIND SET ON FINALLY LEAVING THE
CLUB.
CLUB.
CLUB. >>
CLUB. >> THAT HAPPENS IN ALL WALKS
OFFIVE.
OFFIVE.
OFFIVE. >> IF YOU COME INTO WORK MISS
HABEL.
HABEL.
HABEL. HAPPENS A LOT.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO LAST VERY
LONG.
LONG.
LONG. AS
LONG. AS WE TALKED ABOUT OFF AIR, YOU
CAN'T FIRE PEOPLE OVER BAD BODY
LANGUAGE OR BEING MISERABLE.
>> IT'S ON HIM.
>> IT'S ON DANIEL LEVY.
>> HOW DOES HE FIX IS NOW.
>> HE PUT HIMSELF IN THE
SITUATION.
SITUATION. >> IT'S A RISK THAT HE TOOK.
>> YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO STAY
HERE.
HERE.
HERE. AND
HERE. AND THE RISK IS YOU'RE GOING TO
SWITCH DOWN A LITTLE BIT.
AND THE ANSWER YOU CAN'T FIX IT
SHORT TERM.
SHORT TERM. >> DANIEL LEVY.
>> DO THEY SELL HIM IN JANUARY?
>> HE'S GOT TO DO HIS VERY, VERY
BEST TO REACH OUT TO HARRY KANE
AND PUT HIS ARM ON HIS SHOULDER
AND TRY TO GET HIM ONSIDE, AND
HOW CAN A PROFESSIONAL
FOOTBALLER RELY ON THE MANAGER
TO DO THAT.
>> SURELY YOU HAVE TO TAKE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN BODY
LANGUAGE AND THE ENGLAND
CAPTAIN.
CAPTAIN.
CAPTAIN. SURELY IT'S DOWN TO HARRY KANE?
>> IT IS.
>> IT IS.
>> IT IS. >> LISTEN, 95% OF THE PEOPLE
WILL AGREE WITH YOU.
I JUST FEEL REALLY BAD FOR WHAT
HAPPENED WITH THE FOOTBALL CLUB
WITH HIM AND DANIEL LEVY.
HE NEEDS TO GET ON WITH HIS LIFE
WITH SPURS.
WITH SPURS. WHETHER HE THINKS HE MIGHT LEAVE
IN JANUARY.
IN JANUARY. FIRST SUMMER ON THE 25
IN JANUARY. FIRST SUMMER ON THE 25th OF
AUGUST, SAYING I'M STAYING AT
SPURS THIS, SUMMER.
MAYBE THINGS ARE GOING IN
JANUARY.
JANUARY.
JANUARY. IT IS A MASSIVE PROBLEM.
AGAIN, I'LL SAY IT AGAIN.
THAT DANIEL LEV F-RISKED MAKING
HAPPEN SAYING NO YOU'RE NOT
GOING FOR 120 MILLION POUNDS.
>> NOT SO ATTRACTIVE NOW EITHER
BECAUSE HE'S NOT SCORING GOALS
IF SOMEONE DOES
