Management Roberto De Zerbi

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I think this is her, the image was used on The Smiths single cover in the 1980s.

Heaven knows she looks miserable there .

But in fairness to her ; she lived up to her word ( s) .

So respect for that .
 
His press conference was great. Love the way he talks about the sport. Very honest about the shit we're in and relegation but also really chill about it. It's the polar opposite of the drivel that came out of Franks mouth.

It's a shame that we got the right manager in far too late.
 
I doubt that. He knew what players we had when he was signed.

I think he's laying the foundation to press the board to invest in creating a winning squad and change the culture at the club to be centered on football and I hope he succeeds.

ENIC should be worried that another manager will throw up his hands due to their lack of ambition.

They should be worried that they could find themselves in the Champo and with a manager who's suddenly walked away in midsummer.

ENIC should be afraid and kept afraid.

I want those bastards checking under their beds every night for RDZ.
But we've seen this film before, they won't be afraid.

They'll just replace the manager and let the clown show continue

If we go down most of them will leave anyway

Im genuinely not going to be devastated if we drop. Its an opportunity to get a lot of rotten shit away from this club and keep a core and build on it again.

It would be like cutting away rotten flesh and letting it grow again painful in the short term better in the long term.

Even if we stay up this needs to happen.

My worry is the people in charge of doing it are the same bellends who got us here in the first place

It is intriguing to wonder what the future will be like at this this if we go down, I think most fans are resigned to the fact that we are gone from this league and are looking forward to some sort of reset, notably getting rid of a load of players, Lange and Vinai.

The reality is that I don't think that reset will be anything of note, we may go down and bounce back straight away being carried by a load of fresh players who want to play for the club and even some of our homegrown players as well, being led by De Zerbi playing amazing football with a DOF who actually knows what he's doing but the reality is the reset that we all are wishing for doesn't happen unless our custodians sell the club and someone else takes over.
 
Need to see something from him today.
Why are we paying him 12m if he cant make an impact?

He's had 3 or 4 weeks on the training ground now enough time to make an assessment and squeeze out some improvements.

Will be very disappointed if he reels out the same useless seniors who have now failed under the last 3 managers. Needs to throw a curve ball in there just to shake things up.

One thing that springs to mind is just how generally incompetent we've been in transfer windows over the years.

And I'm not even talking in the sense we signed shit players, more just basic incompetence. Fudged loans, failing to get rid of dead-wood, not sorting out paperwork in time, dragging our heels, shit like the MGW "release clause".

Wouldn't be surprised if the 'reset' is underwhelming in part because the club is completely overwhelmed by the number of deals they need to do, they simply can't complete/negotiate them all and players get stuck almost by default.
 
He is already laying the foundation to walk away in the summer.
If he thought that he was going to keep us up, playing a style of football which, needs technical players who can pass the ball, of which, we rank last in the PL, then he's an idiot.
This was a terrible appointment for the here and now and rubber stamped our relegation. He'd have taken his £12m a year regardless because he was never making close to that anywhere else but Saudi.

Not sure who we could have got who would have been any better ?
