He could easily say 'this isnt the right time in my career' Thats not too difficult is it?
Meanwhile G³'s is...I'm totally chilled over this. My anxiety meter is barely flickering .
Context is everything. He's talking about the beginning of his career.
Which is what a million players/managers have said right before interested party comes in and they jump ship. Poster was saying he cant say he wants to stay at Spurs because would jeopordise him ever going to Madrid. What I posted was something he could easily say that would satisfy all involved....He's said that he's just signed a new contract and is happy at Spurs. That is a straight a response as you will ever see from a football manager.
Hope you’re right, Milo, and there’s nowt in it.
Which Villa game was that? Can’t remember him ever being in that much trouble here?
It’s a black mark against him with their hierarchy, you don’t turn down Madrid at any stage of your career and it’s just forgotten about.Which is what a million players/managers have said right before interested party comes in and they jump ship.

Im not sure they would hold it against him when hes so young for future reference. Apparently Wenger is on the shortlist, he rejected them before didnt he?It’s a black mark against him with their hierarchy, you don’t turn down Madrid at any stage of your career and it’s just forgotten about.
Im not particularly worried about him leaving although I do think theres a remote possibility. Was just a response to Gazza's point thats all...It's a presser to promote the book. He's said plenty about staying with us. Don't forget that the quotes we are getting is from someone translating live and who has said the sound isn't great.

Exactly, there’s nothing to gain for him to outright say he’s not going there now. His quotes today have been perfect IMO (looking at it from a Poch and Spurs point of view)Trouble is, that just gives a twistable soundbite - "not now, but I do want to go at some time"- that would be rolled out forever more by the media and others whilst he is at Spurs.
Plus given Zidane only went yesterday, it's unlikely Poch has even been approached yet (if that will even happen), so he'd look a bit stupid (and presumptuous?) turning down a job he hasn't even been offered.
