There’s so many avenues of thought you could go down until your sucked down into the vortex of uncertainty that is the Spurs toiletbowl.

Maybe people knew what Edu was like and worked around him at Arsenal. Maybe the club setup restricted and hampered his ambitions. Maybe he, like most new employees, is amenable to prove why you’re there.

Now he’s right near the top of the tree, bar probably Marinakis, he doesn’t have the same restrictions. Or maybe there are demands and pressure from Marinakis.

It would be too hard to say. It could be as simple as a lot of these managers are used to more freedom and there are too many cooks.
