If you actually mean that you will be happy about this appointment. Fonseca plays front foot, attacking, ambitious football.

Management Poll: Who do you want most as our next manager?

I’ve switched off really last few weeks from all things Spurs related since that shitshow of a season ended. Just catching up now. What happened to Graham Potter? Last time I was engaged in all this, Potter was seemingly in pole position. Were we not able to lure him away from Brighton?
Potter was on Hitchen's list, and Hitchen is no longer running this process.
I will not hear caterwauling about Fonseca from the xG-humping Potterite "rebuild" doofuses. I will not hear it. Fonseca is the same thing, for better or worse.
Levy has been lurching randomly and aimlessly from manager to manager since then hoping to lure in one of the world's best, with offers of limited control, low job security and a £10 WHSmith voucher for transfers.
It looks like he's got his guy in Roma's outgoing 7th place winning Portuguese coach, 50 days after sacking Mourinho before a cup final. Worth it!
The loss of McDermott and all of his charges (for which there are now about 8 or 9) who have left the club, all doing "Spurs things" at their new club, whilst we lumped it long and sat in deep blocks and then went in for Conte (yes, acknowledge his brilliance) just smacks as completely rudderless. Truly concerning.
The only coach we have that I can categorically state has some Spurs DNA in him is Mason, at least he showed this but obviously, including himself would say he's not ready. I like Powell because he's experienced but based on the teams he's managed they haven't got a Spurs identity associated with them, compare that to Matt Wells at Fulham, this is where I have the concerns. I can run through the entire back room and say this or claim that others like Ledley even are complete unkonws in how they would set up a team.
When this whole thing predictable goes to shit Levy will use Paraciti as the fall guy. “Not my idea to bring Paulo” 
I will be happy with anyone who has shown that they are capable of playing an attacking brand of possession-based (by possession I'm not overly fixated by % but more about controlling the game with the ball) football, that can get a team playing better than the sum of their parts.
I don't care if it's a "big" name or a relatively unknown/tried/tested one.
He'll earn his money.
After we have changed half the team, if not more, he will have to coach them against teams who he will know little about !
Maybe he will be our Tuchel !

Meh... Poch couldn't do the speako englisho but did ok.
Yeah sure, but there are cases of managers that don't speak the language that don't connect with teams. It works both ways. This guy is an unknown quantity. I know nothing about him. That doesn't mean he's the wrong guy, but would like to see what he's about, given there are some other candidates that actually seem very decent that we've all been looking at for weeks. We've all been looking for 50 days since Mourinho got the chop and this one pops out of the blue...
Do you have a link for this XG information regarding Roma, can’t actually see anywhere that states their xg is that good.
Who gives a fuck?
It's imaginary stats that ignore the basic laws of causality.
I took it from a piece written by Tom Worvile (Analytics guy at The Athletic), it was a statement to that effect.
However, I have just found this unrelated to Tom Worville but from StatsBomb:

How the fuck would he know? Has he ever actually had any ITK before?

Is that us above and to the right of Everton, under the RC Lens badge?
The drunken nonsense of a proven liar.
Cunt sums up everything wrong with SC these days. If those fuckwits Rob and A&C can't see it it's because they don't want to or don't care. Which means they are either thick or complicit in a criminal con.
Not that I know anything as the most highly rated poster on SC for a decade.
Liars.
