You mean the Brentford with the wage budget three times smaller than ours, the second lowest wage budget in the entire league yet still above us in the league?
Levy has hired and fired 14/15 managers his excuses have run out . If he stays and continues hiring and firing it cannot be beyond the realms of possibility we are the first Premier League club to hire a female manager .
Can you imagine the cynical Levy video announcing it . We were the first British team to win a European Trophy , first team to do the double in the modern era , now we are the first team to have a female manager. Not as unlikely as it sounds , my objection would not actually be to having a female coach , but the Machiavellian reason Levy would have for doing it and the bullshit he would spin around it .
Once Pardew turns him down he will have run out of options
I think you misjudge me with the bait comment and I might well be misjudging Levy , but I put nothing past him . Pretty soon no reputable manager will come near us so he tries to pretend he is a visionary rather than someone who got told to jog on by Phil JewellI’ll be the first to take your (obvious ) bait : you’re talking Taylor Swift aren’t you ?
Think of the tie-ins ; Concerts , KC Chiefs “ at home “ with Taylor giving Kielce a hug when it’s all over , a few soccer games ; Enic are golden .
Mate , we're talking about replacing the coach , Franks name was thrown out , wage bill or not he hasn't won away from home this season . Yeah he's doing a good overall job but does that really translate to being a success with us . I don't even know his past history .You mean the Brentford with the wage budget three times smaller than ours, the second lowest wage budget in the entire league yet still above us in the league?
Well it means he's making them more than the sum of their parts. Since we're never going to compete with Liverpool, Woolwich, United, City or Chelsea on wages or transfer fees we need someone who can do that.Mate , we're talking about replacing the coach , Franks name was thrown out , wage bill or not he hasn't won away from home this season .

Is this the best we can do .
Forest is 4th. Do you want Nunu back too?You mean the Brentford with the wage budget three times smaller than ours, the second lowest wage budget in the entire league yet still above us in the league?
Gerry Francis had QPR punching above their weight, they used to finish above us in the 90's, it didn't mean he could transfer what he did over here.
Managing Spurs and all the unrealistic expectations that goes with has broken many better managers than Frank. Most of all though, the style of football he deploys will quickly become a stick to beat him with
You're missing my point. I repeat myself again, I'm not even saying I want him. But he's working wonders with the 19th biggest budget in the league and it seems churlish to say his away record is shite when he's working with buttons.
Well from what I seen most had never heard of the guy and had no idea that he even coached Celtic , I hadn't , and I don't see too many that have advocated that was sufficient reason to give him the job .Well it means he's making them more than the sum of their parts. Since we're never going to compete with Liverpool, Woolwich, United, City or Chelsea on wages or transfer fees we need someone who can do that.
If Frank had the resources available to him that Ange has then obviously id expect Frank to have won an away game.
I'm not even particularly advocating for Frank, but let's face it most of the arguments against him are coming from people who think winning a one team league is somehow qualification for the Spurs job too.
I'm almost as terrified of this as of Real Madrid coming back for ReguilonI heard someone claiming to have inside info saying that Gray has to play a certain amount of minutes this season for Spurs or he can activate a clause where Spurs have to sell him for what they paid for him.
I find that in general, men in sports completely underestimate how fucking rich Swift actually is. Its come up a lot in NFL circles with people not-so-sarcastically claiming it's all a marketing stunt for the NFL.I think you misjudge me with the bait comment and I might well be misjudging Levy , but I put nothing past him .

Taylor Swift would be to expensive , budget wise we might go for Dawn French
Thomas Frank would be an unmitigated disaster hire. Please no.

She's worth about $2B now. She's likely headed for a $500M Vegas residency. The amount of money that woman generates is just mind boggling. She gave her tour crew $200M in bonuses.
She's going to end up worth $10B by 2030, likely, once the returns on the shear volume of capital she's got invested now kicks into gear.
All I want from any manager who comes in is one thing:
He tells the players losing to Chelsea can never happen again AND that the next time we play those cunts Cole Palmer doesn't leave the stadium on his own two feet. Ambulance is fine; hearse even better.
Set some fucking boundaries early doors.
