Early days, but from my telegraph mate.

Spurs have a dozen or so guys that came with him from Brentford. They are all loyal to Frank, which may explain why the sacking took so long. Can't really lose the entire footballing staff mid season. Delicate situation as Frank very popular.

If Odobert injured bad, don't be surprised if Raheem Sterling is offered a deal - with a hefty bonus if spurs stay up.
 
We can't go from Ange to Frank to De Zerbi. FFS.

Attacking to defensive back to Attacking.

Can we just get a balanced manager who can do both? Poch in the summer is the answer for me. Everything else won't work
 
I think a hot head with a strict and demanding approach like De Zerbi only works on a long term contract and appointed over a summer period where he can lay down the law and remove the bad eggs. This soft team won't respond well to De Zerbi especially in the current circumstance with morale at an ATL.

We genuinly just need a seasoned avoiding-relgation expert who is happy to come in on a temp basis with a fat bonus for keeping us up to then make way for Pochettino in the summer.

Surely no manager in word football wants anything to do with us until the Poch reunion experiment is tested.

The board need to understand the club and its history. It needs to be a modern attacking manager. When you hire managers that don't fit (e.g mourinho, nuno, frank, george graham) it just doesn't work because the fans don't accept it. Its like Man Utd with Amorim and his 343 formation. Man Utd need to front foot with wingers and attacking because its their history. Barcelona don't go appointing coaches that don't fit the style of the club, imagine Barcelona going full Mourinho.

This is important I think.

Regardless of where you stand on the managers this pivoting from ultra defensive to attacking and back again makes no sense, we've got an unbalanced squad with players assembled for managers with hugely contrasting approaches. It's all totally dysfunctional.

The board need to sit down and consider what is the IDENTITY and APPROACH of the club first and foremost, then plan accordingly. This chopping and changing approach isn't going to reap anything.

NGL that actually makes sense painfully enough. I don't think beggers can be choosers as things stand.

What a mess!

Exactly! What is de zerbi going to do with Gallagher and palhinha in midfield? Both players are workhorses who suit a defensive Frank team but De zerbi would have no interest in playing them as they aren't quick on the ball. Dragusin may aswell pack his bags too if we are going back to baiting the press

Interim to keep us up and then Poch in the summer.

If only you worked for ENIC.

So who is this mystical interim that can stop the rot? What kind of squad to they have to play with? West Ham were bang in trouble and went and got a new assistant and some strikers. Palace were in trouble and got Johnson (I know) and Strand Larson. Bournemouth were lacking goals and banged out £30m on a forward. We needed attackers and got Gallagher and Souza. We have a depleted squad and half of our fit players don't care - are they going to respect an interim?

I can't seen an interim keeping us up
