I also think it might be worth mentioning that under the WST, board members were put up in hotels for away games and if what i was told was true so did some other hangers on,
so if michaelp is a die hard trust member how can he justify board members putting themselves up in hotels while they were running the club in an unsustainable fashion[/QUOTE]

Do you have substance to this or is this hear say? / made up?

Re: The Hotel Factor
 

[QUOTE=dragonspark;2517378]i would say that PP insisted on taking the team to hotels before the game, i think it was part of his agreement to drop to this level and take the job on, given the level of investment and support it is clear the club can sustain this.

Certain board members were regularly seen with ladies of the night in said hotels allegedly.

They probably asked for a receipt to get it paid on expenses.

Don't think he was on the board when the alleged rumours first surfaced nor when they had finished.

Whether the "ladies" bit is true or not, it is obvious that staying in hotels overnight made them tired and explains why they were useless.
Perhaps Michael is muddling up his old mates and thinking professionals would be affected in the same way.

Re: The Hotel Factor
 

regardless, the WST board run the club in an unsustainable fashion, over a long period of time, to criticise the current regime is a clear indication that the damning mistakes of the former powers that be/were are not know to our newest poster

Re: The Hotel Factor
 

not known, sorry, either oblivious to the damaging mistakes or simply will not face up to them

Exactly we can move on now as it’s clear there is no substance to this.

2/ If you wish to discuss this then open a new thread for discussion.

Derailing this thread with things mentioned which have absolutely NO substance to them. That way you can make things up to your hearts content.

So back on topic, as you request...

People who think a pre-match hotel is a bad idea - MichaelP

People who think a pre-match hotel is a good idea - everybody else (and most importantly, the manager, players and professionals now running the club)

That seems to sum it up, so the thread can be closed.

[QUOTE=sionwxm;2515665]Apparently we trained at Scunny’s training ground on Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning. Ratcliffe made the comment that the players can get leggy/tired staying over and not sleeping in their own beds. Seems like an excuse but we certainly don’t travel particularly well.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Wrexy;2516147]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 [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5ECdi_2XT0[/url]

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.[/QUOTE]

2 out of those 3 I wouldn’t class as saying it’s a bad idea. And I’m not sure the third one is either.
