It’s good to hear him speak openly like this and, under the right circumstances, he’s clearly an excellent manager. He’s also charismatic, and you can see why players would love him.

But we conceded 63 goals last season, placing us 15th in terms of GA.

I’m not convinced that an ultra attacking coach is the right call. There has to be some sort of pragmatism applied.

Does anyone know the record for goals conceded in a prem season ?

Even if we finish 8th or so next season I think most would still appreciate some new younger hungry players coming in playing attacking pressing football. Obviously I like to finish higher but we need some new blood in the team

Been saying it for too many years.
I don't want to start next season with Dier, Sanchez, Davies, Sessegnon, Winks, Tanganga, GLC, TND and Rodon anywhere near THFC. No squad space. No more loans. Sell/release. Get rid, Make gone.
Moura is gone, that's a start. 1 great goal with his last ever kick, doesn't make up for 4 years of utter pointlessness.
Lloris is new to the list, never said it before because he's been a fantasitc keeper, that until fairly recently has won us more points than he's lost. But he can't play again. Son wants to pull his fucking socks up next season or he's going on that list too. And TBH, other than Kane and Bentancur, anyone else I haven't mentioned isn't far behind Son. And yeah, that includes Romero.

That's it for me. This squad is below average. I don't even care if the next squad is too, I just don't want this squad anymore.

Ultra defensive coaches in Jose and Conte didn't really seem to help us hugely defensively either though and it was boring as sin to watch...

I think the silent majority of Spurs fans just want to get back to exciting, attacking football. I would rather the next manager focuses on improving our attacking dimension regardless of the fact that we have one of the worst defenses in the league!

Make me look forward to watching Spurs again! Because the last couple years have been a chore.

The more you attack, the less time spent defending.

That's the theory anyway.

He's not interested in coaching defensive, counterattacking Football. That doesn't mean he can't coach a team how to defend properly.

The problem is offloading this shite who are all on the gravy train here.

I truly despise half the players in this squad, a bunch of feeble cunts stealing a living they can’t get elsewhere. And we’ve allowed them to do it.

Good point, but pretty sure they were 8th when he took over not bottom and he still only won 6 and lost 8 in 17 games.

Melbourne was decent but Muscat has done even better and International Football is so different than Domestic, that I don't even consider it (same goes for Enrique, who I also have concerns about).

Muscat isn’t a good manager at all but though, he’s come into very good environments each time created by Ange and been able to get the fruits of his labour. Also a monstrous twat.
 
Levy needs to step down. We need a football loving chairman. If we get a board that Loves the team I'd be Happy with almost any manager in order to get real rebuild going. Majority of our players need to be sold in a "Fire Sale".

I have no problem starting over with 3-1-4-2. New decent GK, Foster backup. Romero, Royal and 2 fresh CBs. Midfield PEH/Skip just in front of the Defenders, with Porro on RWB and Udogie on LWB, Spence as backup on RWB and Reguilon on LWB backup. Bentancur/Bassouma and 1 top class AM in front of PEH. Son and Kane playing staggered with Kane as CF. Time to bring in the youngsters to the first team as backup for the strikers.

I'm sure the likes of Nagelsmann would be able to work this and improve the squad with time. The truth is we are a complete project.
