Manager Ryan Mason

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports



Following the appointment of Ryan Mason as Acting Head Coach, we can now confirm Ryan's coaching staff.

Ryan will be joined by our former Academy player and coach Matt Wells (Acting Assistant Head Coach) and current Academy coach Nigel Gibbs (Acting First Team Coach), alongside Perry Suckling (First Team Goalkeeping Coach) and Gianni Vio (Set Pieces Coach), who continue their existing roles.


Matt Wells is grandson of Cliff Jones - a couple of years ago possibly the most capable coach for Spurs u18's (over 80% win rate) we have had recently before going to Fulham briefly and the to act as Assistant Head Coach to Scott Parker at Bournemouth and Club Brugges

Good words. Good to see someone in charge who will get it and would have likely felt just as pissed off as we all did watching that mess at the weekend.

Would love to see some academy players on the bench and actually get some minutes on Thursday. Especially Devine.
 
I do find it funny that I got more disagrees (not complaining about them just making a point) because I had the audacity to suggest that Mason may be a real candidate if he does well in the games he manages. If I put a candidate forward that had played in a PL academy, and then went on to play in 70 PL matches, served as the head of academy coaching of a PL team, and coached under Conte and Mourinho, most people would say he's worth a look. But instead all anyone wants to say is "Mason's Mates". He's given his entire life to Spurs. I highly doubt he'd use players that he didn't think would give the team the best chance to win.

He isn't a candidate for the job mate. He needs to go away and manage a club in the football league or championship. He's a novice and we are the 8th or 9th biggest club financially on plant earth. I have lots of respect for the lad but that Levy hD hidden behind a bloke with less than twenty games in charge TWICE is shameful and shows the depths to which we have sunk.

He might just surprise us all so any alleged fan continuing to jeer ‘Mason’s mates’ or posting that Harry Kane is in charge can do one imv

A tick in the Pochettino box is supposed to be his love for Spurs, but Poch is about to sign for Chelsea and Mase genuinely does love Spurs.

I'm not saying he currently is. But lets just say he wins 6 of 8. Is he not a candidate at that point? What makes Kompany better than him in that scenario?

He doesn’t remotely have the credentials to be manager of Spurs. Jose and Conte play precisely the kind of football we want to avoid, why would we hire him based on learning from them?

The fact he loves Spurs is not a good reason to appoint him. People will point to Arteta but he went elsewhere for years and learned from Pep. And even then there was a huge learning curve. And he was a genuine #2 for those years too, unlike Mason.

The likelihood of Mason, a total novice, being ready to take on this shitshow is incredibly low. Why you’re so keen on it I have no idea, it seems purely based on blind romanticism.
