Ramos` last 8 games: 2 pointsHarry's first 13 league games: 16 points
Not a chancehe seems confident that he'll be here next year. maybe Levy's told him, or maybe he's just hoping.
who knows...
Ramos` last 8 games: 2 points
I agree with that, although if he knew that he wasn't gonna be here next season then I'd have thought Levy would have made sure he kept a lid on it and didn't say some of the things he said today.Who knows...
His bold statements say 1 of 2 things to me
He knows he is in for next season no matter what and has the ok to shake up the squad
or
He knows there is no chance of him in for next season so doesnt give a fuck!
we'll seeNot a chance
I`ve no dislike of English managers. It`s just that they tend to play an english style of football. Its what they were brought up on. Unfortunately in the modern game that style of football is unlikely to bring success at the highest level. Give me a top continental coach all day long.I guess its being the opposite of xenophobic, but thats the view I take anyway.There's certainly a strange self loathing of English managers and players that many in the fanbase have.

fair point, fuck knows what's going on behind the scenes, all seems to be a bit of a mess at the momentIf he knew he was going anyway, and wasnt going anywhere until May, would he give a toss what Levy said?
Doesnt strike me as the sort to worry to much in that instance!
I reckon he is sincere about what he's saying about the players, and I really do think he wants to turn it around. But I agree that the motivations seem selfish as he's probably wanting to make a success of it because his next job is unlikely to be anywhere as big a management job as Spurs.
It looks a bit desperate to me. I can't imagine any situation where id say that to my staff, and although its a different industry, I just can't see it going down well whichever industry your in. If you have problem staff who can't be fixed then you shift them out the way, not publicly try and shame them.
I do agree with his view mind you - displays have been gutless and pathetic. Just not sure this will work out the way he wants it to.
If we get knocked out the Europa and lose to Woolwich then you have to say Sherwood is surely going. Just have to see whether what he's done works or not in the next two/three games.
trouble is fella,the industry they are in, has huge publicity. "Most" industries, are contained to that particular industry and it's associates. In the football world, it's front page, center page and back page news, in addition to all the TV, Radio and other media.
He probably shouldn't have done it, or at the very least, it's a gamble, but so far, our players have melted more than gooners wearing WHITE tops at WHL, without the public bollockings, so if it shames them into growing some, or just shames them full stop, then well played Tim.
'Spurs midfielder Sandro has revealed the club's players held a no-hold-barred meeting after the Chelsea defeat'
I've said this before. The teams above us all have an arrogance and mean-spirited ruthlessness about them that we lack. Nice guys don't win things, you have to be at least a bit of a nasty cunt to get anywhere.No fucking way would I tell Sandro to his face that he played like shit.
Interesting though and confirms what I've often feared - that we are sometimes just too nice. I've heard several players talk about how great the team spirit is and what a nice bunch of lads they all are. But sadly niceness doesn't win you trophies. If what Sandro has said is accurate I expect to see the boys come out breathing fire on Thursday and Friday.
As patches o'hoolahan once said. You gotta get meeeean. You gotta get angry!
