Just get someone to stop relegation. That’s the priority.
I agree. although Heitinga is quite new isn't he? Not like keeping Mason/Stellini
De Zerbi is available because his Marseille team is an absolute disaster.
I agree they need something or someone new to lift them.
Unless someone good is banging on the door, they'll give it to Heitinga for now.
He would actually play players in there natural position and give the kids a chance so there is positivessecond to none
I’ve no idea how he’d been doing. I don’t expect our clubs owners to have any idea either.
Be quite funny watching him try all the youth players hoping to find another Kane.
and he would have a word with midfielders who don't get within 5 yards of their opposite number.
Tim Sherwood

Premier League Record
- Games: 22
- Wins: 13
- Draws: 2
- Losses: 7
- Win rate: ~59%
- League finish: 6th (qualified for Europa League)
Context & AssessmentPositives
- Strong league form initially (notably a 3–2 win at Man United).
- Promoted youth — gave consistent opportunities to Harry Kane, Nabil Bentaleb and others.
- Points-per-game in the league was solid (around 1.9 PPG).
Negatives
- Heavy defeats (e.g., 4–0 vs Liverpool, 4–0 vs Chelsea).
- Early cup exits (FA Cup 4th round, League Cup 3rd round earlier in season).
- Public disagreements with players and perceived tactical naivety.

Overall VerdictStatistically, his Premier League record was decent to good, especially short-term.
However, performances were inconsistent, and the club opted for a longer-term rebuild under Pochettino.

he hasnt managed for 10 years -
at the time he was ingrained in the club no? knew the players? knew the staff?
You cant be serious?
Get Iraola in.
I’d take horrible right now as it’s a lot better than potential relegation
Agreed we need consistency
But the board dont need to CONSIDER, anything. They need to UNDERSTAND!
The club isnt a mystery. Everyone should know what Spurs stand for.
They came 2nd last year and are in 4th this year, 12 pts off top. If they are a disaster what are we?
