Spotted Cow, elite tier beer.
Highly drinkable and especially so on a warm day. I think part of the appeal is its limited distribution.
I might choke the next person that tells me, "You know you can only buy this in Wisconsin."
And can’t speak Scouse either!
Mason had 7 yesterday!
Everton is a better managerial job than Spurs are at this moment.Everton going for ten Hag
Spurs have the better squad of course, but for how long? Everton is building something with the financing to make it work. Spurs are just managing decline.
They need a new ground though?
Alli G already planting the excuses seeds.
What’s he said?
True, and as we know that's a very difficult task which cannot help but affect the football side of things.
But not only is it very possible Everton will have a better squad than us in two years, they are also likely to have a squad more built around the vision and preferences of their incoming manager than Spurs will.
Our open job is an absolute donkey, it's basically a trap. Our next manager's task is fixing unfixable problems that were created three years before he arrived. Poch is perfect for it in that sense I guess.
None of which really betters seeing the players first hand and interacting with them in person.
What you are talking about is essentially cursory scouting, do you really want a manager reshaping the squad based on a few videos?
If you do then fair enough, but I cant say it fills me with confidence.
I dont believe any manager coming in will do much differently if its tomorrow or two weeks away, I do think the Euros will essentially stall that kind of progress.
In which case all the bed wetting on here (not necessarily you, theres plenty of it) seems rather unecessary
I know Erik ten Hag is another manager Spurs really like and Antonio Conte will certainly be an attractive option. He's a terrific manager and available without compensation, but the question for Spurs would be just how much he can achieve without the huge financial backing he's had elsewhere. We can all dream, but the reality is that he won't get those hundreds of millions to spend at Tottenham and if that's the case how frustrated would he get and how quickly? Conte's average is about two years at each club and that's with a lot of money to shape his teams how he wanted them. He left Inter because they couldn't financially back him any more. I think he's one of the best managers in the world but would he and this current Tottenham be a good fit without the proper funding?
Not sure I agree. Everton come across as an average club tossing money around aimlessly.
How long does it take. It's embarrassing now... Mourinho was sacked in April no?
Madrid have got Ancelloti pretty much. Juventus got Allegri. There are no big clubs waiting for a manager now apart from us. Surely Conte is a big possibility?
I dunno, I'd rather they took their time and chose the best one for the job. I don't see why they'd need someone in here while everyone was on their hols. Seems like a storm in a teacup to me.
I guess it's seen a weak or unplanned, but sacking Jose was clearly a spontaneous 'watch the birdy' attempt to distract from the ESL dumpster fire, so I'm not fussed that we're being deliberate about the next one.
Agreed, Everton are shite. They tried buying some decent players under Ancelloti and it didn’t work out. Have no worry about Everton, as we are a bigger club and would attract a manager over them any day of the week.
Toss around money aimlessly for long enough and you figure it out. Every one of the big spending projects now dominating the game started out wasting money on bad players.

Levy knows Conte would make his life insufferable
