The answer is of course not, it only has upsides. We lost to Grimsby because they were better than us on the night and we’d have lost regardless of when we got there

Okay so this forum isn’t about ideas / opinions?

Or is it a case that you don’t agree with said idea / opinion that you have to take the p**s?

I know it’s football but if you treat it like a business just for this analogy.

If something is not working do you carry on or do you think of different ways of working?

I am not saying that my idea will work and if we trialled it and it didn’t then at least we can rule that out and go back to the status quo and travel up the day before.

When the idea's ridiculous it attracts ridicule.

Again when it’s an idea / opinion it’s only deemed ridiculous by the person that doesn’t agree.

In personal life and work life there are things I disagree and think is ridiculous and that maybe the sole / minority / majority’s viewpoint.

I can digress and suggest matters / topics that persons will be for or against ridiculous but we are talking about the original theory behind hotel stays.

You haven’t answered my question about de-railing the original thread.

Your very Paxman-esque asking questions but dodging questions asked from you.

A couple of years ago we went for a weekend in Norwich and unbeknown to us Spurs were staying there prior to playing the following evening.

Mourinho was in charge and it was eye opening seeing how Prem teams prepare for games. All of the players were locked into the hotel ballroom with the biggest TV I've ever seen in my life watching endless videos and going through tactics. All meals were served in that room.

They would emerge like square eyed zombies to go for a team walk around the hotel grounds with Jose at the front.

Did it work for Spurs? not really https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5ECdi_2XT0

I'd love to know what PP does with the players during these overnights. All I've seen so far are team walks along the Prom in Southend.

Bit rich coming from you. Twice on this thread I’ve asked you to back your claim up with stats re overnight stays but you have dodged it so far.
