A small part of me thinks one day when he's an old man with 500 million in the bank, he'll have regrets at not cementing himself as one of the most cherished if not the most cherished figures ever at his apparent boyhood club.
Like can you imagine if for both redknapp and poch he made major moves to bring it home and probably be worshipped for all time by spurs fans.
But then I remember that an extra 100-200 million of net worth probably means more
Worth a short term contract to see what he's about?
Neither do I sadly.
This is what backing the manager looks like
I don't know why you felt the need tag us or think it was some kinda 'gotcha moment'.Wow!!!
What a fantastic article. Pulls no punches and states the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Every Spurs fan should be forced to read through every word. And some then need to take a cold, hard look at themselves.
Airfixx ,
scarletjim ,
Top_Spur etc... a penny for your thoughts?
At this current moment in time it's quite a good article and the points raised are true but we all know how football can change, same as opinions.
He's barely played the past few seasons, even this year at Villareal he's getting garbage minutes. 31 already so time is not on his side either.
Shame as he was very good at PSG. Could defend, attack. Great engine, great attitude. But that was 5-6 years ago.
Pass.
Still reckon the worst bit about getting Iraola as our manager will be every cunt spelling his name wrong.
Be like the awful Ericksson/Erikson/Erriksen years
Ha! Hope that cunt stays where he is then!Still reckon the worst bit about getting Iraola as our manager will be every cunt spelling his name wrong.

Needs the Scrooge floppy nightcap. Possibly with new Spurs font branding
Nah, Angeball would probably kill him at this point.
He was a classy little player, lovely technique, good engine.
No he is terrible. Does whatever the club tells him . Takes too much time so lacks economy of effort. Is generally all round boring and not what any fan needs to see.
As for the player, no idea.
Why would we get rid of our joint top goal scorer. Isn't the idea to strengthen the squad.
With Levy in it
How fucking hard is it really? I get it's "not like buying a pint of milk", but how do negotiations take more than one call to agree a fee??
Levy: will you take this for him?
Them: No
Levy: How about this?
Them: No
Levy: OK what about this?
Them: No
Levy: Crikey I'm tired, let's reconvene tomorrow...
Fucking do it or don't, it shouldn't take 3 weeks to still be just fucking "working hard" monitoring ffs...
My hunch is that we're either finding out that players we want aren't for sale and the players who are available are not interested in joining the current dumpster fire we have going on where the (unqualified) manager may or may not be sacked any day now.
That leaves the only players we could sign being true desperation squad filler which probably just becomes deadwood we can't shift in 6 months.
I think we're also contending with the fact that financially we posted a big loss last year, are certainly going to post an even larger loss for 2023-24 without European competition and, unless we miraculously pull off winning the EL this season, will post a substantial loss for 2024-25 and lock in a record breaking loss for 2025-26 with no European competition.
Hiring Ange has properly fucked us. We're in a big hole and it's difficult to see how we climb out.
Again, this is why I just cannot fathom why we did not sack him after Ipswich. Potentially going to be Levy's greatest mistake in a history fraught with them.
