It's obviously Pep
Must think he's gonna slot in as the head man if he stays
Lol Dutch is such an absurd language.
John de Wolf? Get the fuck outta here
The thing with Ten Hag is that even Ajax fans considered him not particularly verbose. His Dutch is apparently spoken with a "hillbilly" accent since he comes from the countryside.
I definitely saw a lot of talk about that when he left for United and when he interviewed with us.
Slot wasn't near the top of my list these last weeks, but with the recent rumours of sharkface, I'm all in for him
Interesting that he's addressing the players in the dressing room in English.
A better lingua franca among players from elsewhere I guess. I wonder how common that is.
Incoming story from Matt Law about how his Dutch sources tell him that de Wolf is the real brains behind Slot. Without de Wolf being part of the coaching staff Slot's appointment at Spurs would be a huge let down.
That' s lot what we want to hear..
Apparently he said it on a chat show.
I was thinking it may be of benefit to Mason to manage our Ladies team.
He already does.
Not really, for instance Van Gaal's English was pretty bad (especially when he arrived in Manchester), certainly not 'good'.
It's part of human nature that some people very easily pick up a foreign language and others will struggle forever (and everything in between), the Dutch aren't exactly an exception in that regard.

Maybe an old Dutch spurs like VDV, David's?
Also Van Gaal is crazy.
Lots of indications that Slot is very keen on English football and full of ideas about how to succeed in the Premier League, which is appealing and heartening. There's a ton wrong with the Spurs job, but we are at the very least English football.
I like Slot a lot in the abstract. He'd want the job for what it is, and there's a "happy warrior" aspect to his personality that seems like a good fit for the toxic cloud occupying our dressing room. And he's obviously a good coach who is ideologically committed to attacking football.
I just can't get over how distant our squad is from the ideal of playing his football. The forced compromise of ill-fitting parts due to the club's refusal to do business properly will be the story of the Slot administration IMMEDIATELY.
I also just wonder how much that mask of positivity can survive what an existential saga the last year of Kane's contract is going to be.
de Wolf is my last name you bastard.
