With Feyenoord manager the latest linked name staying put, Daniel Levy’s lack of progress recruiting a figurehead is looking like a problem
There are offers – in football as in life – and there are offers – the kind that, as they like to say in the gangster movies, people cannot refuse. Tottenham were interested in making Arne Slot from Feyenoord their next manager and they made a few moves via their middle men and women, always confident that if it came down to personal terms, it would not be a problem.
Because they are Spurs, one of highest-revenue-generating clubs in England and, therefore, the world. And Feyenoord are Feyenoord – from the altogether smaller pond of the Eredivisie. Spurs can blow them out of the water on salaries.
