He by all means had a truly shit year on a personal level, but if it was affecting him that much he should’ve just walked away from the job, he would’ve been remembered quite fondly by the bulk of the fans.

You’re right that most appointments turn sour, but he made our club a laughing stock, only made worse by the club not acting on it immediately, and then appointing his number 2
You can't really blame him for what happened next. That's entirely on Levy.
No coaches walk away, there's too much money. And we're all a tad in the dark as to what was on the table contract wise. We all assume it would have ended June 1st, but no one really knows outside of a select few.
I kinda feel like had he not been let down time and again by his players, he might well have soldiered on to the end of the season in a better mood.
I knew he wanted out for sure when he put a CB on against Milan when we were 1 down and needed a goal. That' the sort of move someone makes when they just CBA anymore. And that's when Greedy bollocks should have pulled the trigger.

I actually think one of the most annoying things in modern football is managers contracts. They can have a complete breakdown in the relationship and get sacked and get paid for that.
I would LOVE to have a job like that.
 
Thanks for posting, Richard.
One more season of Harry Kane will do much more for the morale of the club and the fans than any money banked for him.
Let's hope Ange can work his magic and convince him to stay.

They would have spoken at length already I suspect. It's probably a massively unlikely coincidence but it was about the same time that Kane and Mason came out talking about getting the club ethos back to how it was under peak Poch, that we were first linked with Postecoglou. Is it too much to think that these comments from Mason and Kane were borne out of chats with the Aussie?
 
It's not that prestigious but it's more prestigious than breaking a goal scoring record for an 8th place side.
I'm not even convinced of that tbh. They win the title so often, regardless as to who is coach and who plays for them, how would anyone really remember it?
No one is going to say "that Bayern team, the one with Kane in, was the greatest modern Bayern team of all time"
I think to achieve something above and beyond with them, they have to win the CL. Which isn't totally out of the question.
But as a Spurs fan, I'd rather win a league cup with Spurs than walk yet another German title. It's no better than Celtic winning domestic trebles all the time.
 
It seems we are working on 1 deal at a time, presumably a centreback at the moment. We have been linked with Ibanez, Tapsoba, Tosin, Kidman, Vdv ,Nelson, McGuire and now the Japanese lad. What’s happening , just waiting for the cheapest, surely there’s a pecking order, a first choice so why no offers ? We leave for our tour in a few days so there should be a little more urgency. By the way I know I’ve spelt Kidman instead of Kilman but I started to fantasise so left it.
I doubt Kane will go before the tour is over, it’s because of him we are probably being paid big bucks to go on the tour in the first place.

The problem with the bolded is that it didn’t stem from a desire to blow it all up in order to build something better. He did it to cover his own arse.

The more I think about it the more I dislike him, to the point where I even start to look fondly on the Jose years.
I rate Jose higher than Conte.

Was surprised how much I liked Jose in the Amazon documentary. Thought he came across really well.

The football was dull but it was worse under Conte and I did think that Jose genuinely wanted to be here.

And I still think that the Super League fiasco played a part in Jose going.
