Spurs are right now a better bet than Everton. We all know this. Andros Townsend knows this. So why can’t he say it?
, presumably with a straight face. “I think Everton is one of the biggest clubs in England, one of the most historic clubs, one of the biggest fanbases.
There’s little point going further into explaining the myriad ways in which Tottenham are conspicuously a step up from Everton at the moment, but f*** it, we’ve nothing better to do so we might as well. If we stopped ourselves doing things just because there was little point then none of us would be here. Spurs, for instance, are in the Champions League. Spurs’ manager is Antonio Conte, and Everton’s manager is Frank Lampard.
You can waste hours of your life arguing that Everton are a bigger club than Spurs. League titles would become a very important criterion here, for instance. But even the Toffee-est Toffee in Goodison couldn’t really argue Spurs aren’t a better option right now, however vexing that may be. In a sensationalist post-truth world there is simply no way Townsend could risk even acknowledging or accepting someone else’s statement that Spurs would be a step up for Richarlison. We all know how that plays. ‘Everton star urges team-mate to make step up at Spurs’ and so forth. You have to keep your current employer on side even if it means saying something palpably ridiculous, because saying nothing once the subject is raised is tantamount to saying the other thing anyway.
