I thought by holding the dinner they had acknowledged that it was a mistake.They had acknowledged the mistake that 'they' had made. It is a pity that O'Neill told the bloke to 'shut up' in such a disgusting manner, after he had asked a perfectly valid question. I suspect he treats the players like that when they say or do something that he disagrees with.That reason for wanting him gone is so last season. So a person's view now has to be fashionable does it?No. It's just that I understood that you were offended that O'Neill had said "Oh, shut up" to someone last year soon after it had happened. I would have thought you'd be over it by now. Not half as offended as the person it was addressed to and the others on his table.Sorry if my interpretation of events differ from your Official opinion.

Stupid questions piss me off too.
I honestly don't know what Villa and Spurs pay in player costs, I don't think you do either. I've only argued that there is no evidence that Villa pay less Spurs.
^^^^^^To be fair Bred_d, you needed to be there to realise why he and his fellow diners were so offended.Everybody we have spoken to who was at the dinner were shocked by the venom in MoN's voice.

Only if you think they and their agents turn up at Spurs as bumbling peasants. Do you honestly believe that players like Dos Santos walked in from Barcelona and took a small wage simply because he was coming from a foreign league? Or that their wasn't a significant signing on fee paid to Modric out of the £16m+ that Spurs supposedly paid for him?Even with your list of expensive foreigners and lower league players, i wouldn't be surprised if Spurs have also signed as many if not more PL players as we have in the last few seasons.
