Surely someone who has tried and repeatedly failed in the PL is less likely to be successful than someone who has been successful outside the PL? Such a lack of diverse thinking… if fat Sam or that granny Hodgson got it, I would exit my support
Fur coat no knickers?
Where are you from? I'm trying to work out why you keep thinking something so utterly stupid would be a good idea.
Oh fuck off. Seriously, fucking fuck off trying to be some anti sexism warrior.
Just fuck off. Ignore me if you don't like it. I'd rather that than have to keep fucking responding to twats like you.

Woy and Sam have achieved many of the objectives they set out to achieve.
Makes sense.
Getting to stage now people like avram grant, neil warnock will start getting linked. A fucking joke this is.
I have tried to understand the choas going on with the manager search and it eludes me. But you can make some assumptions. Start with Mourinho being fired. Whether the firing or the timing was right is almost beside the point. An organization must always do due diligence on a list of candidates and their availability even if they have no intent to make a change. So you can infer disorganization but also some degree of over confidence in that it appears Spurs just assumed elite managers would want to take the job on Spurs terms. And what were those terms? You have to think Levy and the board when asked substantive questions about how much money would be available for transfers and how much authority the manager would have said, more or less, "Trust us we'll work that out." Is that because they don't want to spend or they can't spend? I'm guessing some of both. Then there's the odd timing of the Paratici appointment followed almost immediately by the strange interview with Levy. It says (at least to me) on the one hand some control must have been released to Paratici but undercuts that idea with an interview that puts the spotlight back onto Levy. Then you get the bothched hiring of Fonseca and the near hiring of Gattuso without researching (apparently) his public statements. Again, organizational incompetence, but also now you get the idea that Paratici really doesn't have the authority to hire who he wants for the job. Beyond that, if you take Levy's interview at face value you have to think he and Paratici aren't on the same page as to the style of football they want Spurs to play because of the defense-oriented names they came close to hiring. So what to make of that? Could it be Paratici was forced on Levy? If so, by who? The board? Are the constant leaks a sign of some sort of organizational struggle where one side or other is disclosing names and details to undercut the other? And how much of what the organization planned to be able to do financially was tied up in the Super League plans? I say all this by way of saying that we can look at what's happening as a comedy of errors or incompetence but there's probably some strand of logic running through these events that explains them. My guesses: Finances are worse than understood. The organization is divided and there's a power struggle going on involving Levy. Paratici doesn't have the authority his title implies. Jorge Mendes has for some reason been granted an unusual amount of influence within the organization for reasons I can't fathom. Bottom line, there will be a face saving hiring that Levy and Paratici can come together on after the Euro championships are over and it may be one of the national coaches. Oh, and none of this will end well.
She’s not going to fuck you.
All signs point to Bournemouth but I could see Levy hijacking this.
I was waiting for Sth Korea tbf
How much more crap are we going to take from levy. No money to spend on transfers a few years back for 18 months. Late stadium. Haggling over nominal fees in transfer markets and this latest crap hiring a manager. Actually think poch wants to come back to win something for the fans as hes a humble bloke. I really dont give a shit about nfl and concerts at tottenham. Just same old levy putting the fans through shit year after year.
But what is the point of having a lovely stadium when you only want to furnish it with second hand or cheap products kind of defeats the purpose.
We are spurs we don't win things
Yeah after 3 Stella's. You missed the question mark.
