I'm actually starting to think the main reason Ange was sacked was because he continuously publicly stated that the transfer strategy was a mistake and that experience was what we needed moving forward.

Think if he just agreed with going with the same strategy he would still be here.

Plenty of experience in the squad last year. A club like Spurs need to blend in youth, too, as they can't afford to buy a whole squad of "experienced" players - unless on buy sub-standard experienced players.
It was also the lack of EPL experience in the coaching staff that caused Spurs' poor league form...

This place sorta polices itself and doesn’t bother admin with trivial things.

Anyway. I have faith in Tel coming good and forming some nice moves with Odobert. They’ve got chemistry. But they should be backups to a new left and right winger.
I would love to sell Johnson to any club dumb enough to buy him. A Totteham Hotspur right winger who can’t dribble or cross even if he does score tap-ins is plain wrong. But I think we’re stuck with him.

But he won Europa.

I dunno mate. Put it this way, if it was another manager that lost 22 games but won Europa and agreed to the transfer strategy i think they would have kept him on and justified it by saying "yeh but he won a cup and we are prepared to give him another season". He lost 22 games AND publically stated the transfer strategy was a mistake and they would have to do things differently.

Man Utd 'decide on ending Bryan Mbeumo pursuit' after Tottenham open transfer talks​

Man Utd have reportedly made a call on leaving Bryan Mbeumo for Tottenham as Brentford play hard ball.​

Manchester United will submit a fresh bid to sign Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo amid pressure from Tottenham Hotspur, according to reports. The rival interest from Mbeumo's former head coach, Thomas Frank, has not deterred the Red Devils, who want to seal an agreement with Brentford over a summer switch.

United were the clear favourites to sign the 25-year-old after he reportedly chose a move to Old Trafford over Woolwich, Newcastle United and Spurs. But Frank's arrival in North London, replacing Ange Postecoglou, is said to have sparked fresh efforts to convince him to remain in the capital.

It's claimed Mbeumo is intrigued by the prospect of joining Frank at Spurs, who have held initial talks with Brentford over a hijack.

However, according to Sky Sports, Mbeumo is still leaning towards a move to United despite the recent developments.

The Bees rejected United's opening approach of £45million plus £5m in add-ons, demanding a guaranteed £60m.

Whether chief executive Omar Berrada will sanction another fee that high remains to be seen amid his efforts to buck the trend of United overpaying for signings.

But the 20-time Premier League champions look set to try again as they fend off the threat posed by Frank and Tottenham.
 
We need PL experience. Bowen is always a pest when we play him and creates problems for us and scores. He would be an upgrade on our current wide players and we can offer CL which may help him cement an England starting place.
