Manager Ryan Mason

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

"Mason's Mates" is a red herring, because you're right, he didn't play with Lucas. It's really just "Mason's Clueless Personnel Decisions", where his baffling decision to keep using Winks in his first go-round has been replaced by his baffling decision to keep putting Lucas on this time.

Using Winks > NDombele resulted in 4/6 wins.

Decision vindicated.
 
I like Mason and he seems like a bright guy but this job is obviously way too soon for him.

I would like to see him learn the ropes at a Championship/League One club, get some experience, learn new things and maybe in several years come back here and get a position somewhere.

He isn't the answer but his promotion this year is emblematic of the wider mismanagement on the pitch over the past several years.

He might get the chance this time next year.
 
Thanks for the micro-rant, but that's nothing to do with what I said.

That wasn't a 'rant' at all. Good god.

And it's the Ryan Mason thread and I addressed decisions Ryan Mason has made. Also, 4/6 wins given the level of some of those fixtures sounds more impressive than it was. He did an OK job stabilising back then, and hasn't replicated that.

So time to go to a club where he's not just a convenient club man to put in place.

I suspect it would be more accurate to say that using Winks correlated with 4 wins, because I am not sure Winks was an important cause of those victories. But that may be too pessimistic, and I admit I might be wrong here. Neither player has done very much to prove they deserve minutes in the Premier League since leaving Spurs.

I am quite certain, though, that Lucas played a direct causal role in at least one loss.

Sure, but I dont' think there's a single person that will claim that he his decision making is beyond reproach.
 
Nothing he's done has worked in round 2.

Get him off the coaching staff and let him go find his feet elsewhere instead of being Levy's go to man at the club for when it blows up again, it's all a bit pathetic.

Yeah he needs to go as well, if he thinks he can handle the spurs managers job then go and find a managers job elsewhere. No point having him lurk in the background waiting for his next stint as interim.

I genuinely quite like him & think he probably does have something going for him as a coach, but being here and learning from the type of managers we've had and the chaos that we epitomise & just being a convenient bloke at the club to put in charge because he won't rock the apple cart can't be doing anything for his development.

Go out, find some role in the football world, go from there. Maybe in x amount of years he can return ready for Spurs, or maybe he'll prove to not be suited to the management game at all. We just have no idea yet.

And it's the Ryan Mason thread and I addressed decisions Ryan Mason has made.

Hense "micro" (perhaps "minor" would be more appropriate)...... Point being; there's no correlation between my last few posts and a need for you to tag me with those comments (you're not offering up some kind of counter-point to what I"ve said).

Also, 4/6 wins given the level of some of those fixtures sounds more impressive than it was. He did an OK job stabilising back then

I'd not claimed anything more grand than that.

and hasn't replicated that.

No, he hasn't..... If you read you will see that I made no defense (or any comment) of his 'output' this season.
 
The season was over as soon as Conte left. Conte was far from perfect but he overachieved with this squad in terms of league position (he was shit in the cups). I don’t blame Mason or Stellini for what’s happened since, both have tried to implement new ideas (more often than not it’s failed) but the players just aren’t good enough. Hopefully Mason can find a club to manage in the lower leagues and develop valuable experience.

Didn’t he bring on sissoko in the final when we were behind and ndombele on the bench. That’s was a big no no for me.
 
I can't believe the disrespect that fans are giving Ryan Mason. He has gotten players to fight for the badge - or have you already forgotten about how Tottenham fought back against Manchester United this season? Or against Liverpool? Give Ryan Mason some new defenders and let him cook.

He is one of our own, someone who understands the values of this club and what it means to put on the shirt. Mason's already proving his capabilities in the Premier League. I can't believe people prefer someone like Arne Slot who coaches in a Championship Level league and thinks he's ready for a job like Tottenham. I mean Slot sucked against Lazio and Roma in the Europa League for god's sake and they have horrible teams!

Obviously Ryan should not get the first team job just for his work as interim.

But would anyone be opposed to him getting the women's team job?

It is a head coach job and would allow him to work on his craft, whilst still keeping him in house so to speak.

I think if he were offered this, he’d be well within his rights to tell Levy to go take a running fuck at himself. Be as well being offered the job of looking after one of the bars in the stadium.
