It makes me feel ill that we could have had Ancelotti instead of this <removed> rat
Imagine what he could do with the squad we have
painful decision, and I said so at the time

Kane, I'm too emotionally invested in, but yes to Son.
That money could help us to bring in two quality wingers. Wonder how much it would take to get both Jarrod Bowen and Pedro Neto in the summer.
If say we got 80m for Son and got the other two for 40m a piece. I'd take the deal. Maybe they'd score a bit less, but they'd offer more on the ball, so we could finally actually beat some defenders 1v1 and open space for Ndombele, Kane and others to get forward.
Man U, Chavs and Woolwich have all gone down that route in the past few years, former players with negligible to no managerial experience in Solskjaer, Lampard and Arteta.
They did in the first half because Mount had all day to play passes to Hudson-Odoi and Werner making forward runs. They probably should have created more from that but they didn't really, we actually defended the runners pretty well. I don't remember Hugo having a save to make first half.
In my opinion the main problem was in midfield ... nobody getting hold of Mount when they had the ball or finding space to show for a pass when we had the ball.
That's my two cents anyway!
I was chatting to a mate earlier, I think a caretaker might be the way to go and then think carefully about the next appointment.
Redknapp isn't a bad call, that was one of my suggestions, I also suggested Glenn. Then Ledley.
I wouldn't mind it but its very early for him. I'm not sure he has the charisma at this moment in time. Harry and his run-around-a-bit philosophy is more what's called for.
As for the next full-timer, I suppose Nagelsmann will be the favourite choice but I'd like to make a case for Julen Lopetegui. Won't be available till the end of the season mind and not sure if he speaks English
Let Ledley play some generic version of possession football. We’re good enough to compete for top 7 and maybe one of the cups with our talent and a generic system. Players will have more motivation.
Then pick your guy this summer from a bigger and better pool.
It can happen but we it does there has to be some kind of recrimination.
10 games in an average league and 9 points.
Wow.

I'd like to steer clear of foreign managers who may struggle to cope with the langauge, culture and other adjustments.
His RM and Spain debacle also makes me suspicious of him.
Not sure Redknapp speaks English either to be fair
You are so reliable.
Arteta is the only one with chops in my view. Fat Frank got found out and Solskjaer is a fraud that sits in front of the most powerful football company on the planet because it suits their narrative and their merchandising.
I'd guess Michael Carrick has more say in actual football matters than the puppet Ollie does.
Carrick and Ledley?
They just need someone to tell them to run a bit
Of course.
Well considered and thoughtful as always Bill but it's not realistic.
I'd love what you say to be a possibility.
Difficult to see a way out of this. The players look like the just don't want to play for him, and those that do just can't play.
He was a very good Spanish manager, no debacle whatsoever. Anyone can struggle at Madrid.
If you want to go native the only two names I can see are Rogers or maybe Gerrard. I can't see either at Spurs though, especially the latter
Why would Rogers jump ship now? Unless we have extremely good looking Press Secretaries of course.
