Ha ha you cheeky sod!Breaking News:

Top manager de zerbi but we as a club must learn from Brighton chairman bloom. Very forward thinking he is. They have contingencies in place if their manager or players leave. Immediate response. Looking forward but lets hope de zerbi stays for long haul we should keep an eye on hurzler, farioli plus any other upcoming modern manager. Atm de zerbi is hand in glove scenario for us. Chuffed so far.
That would require opennheart surgery on the club from top to bottom, whereby the club decide on the philosophy, and have a unified style from underage to first team.
Much easier to replace managers that way with little negative impact, because they have a playstyle and squad at the club which makes it plug and play for those managers, and when they go, the replacement inevitably does well.
Sounds like we're giving RDZ more autonomy than be was allowed at Brighton. If Lange stays (better fucking not) , fine, lesser of two evils, but we really ought to stop this nonsense of rebuilding the squad for every manager, and eneding up with the Frankenstein squad we have now.
Regardless of what division we end up at the end of this season, the first thing I want to see after that is a picture of a corner flag on the OS announcing the departure of Lange and Vinai - this season has been an abject failure in every sense and they made all the decisions contributing to it
100%.
Be an absolute travesty if either are there to start the season. And my faith in ENIC doesn't inspire me with hope.
What if Lange and Vinai's replacements don't like DeZerbi and want to bring in someone else?
Don't hire them
RDZ is the right guy for us. I think he stays regardless if someone new comes in
Do you really think they will reveal their true feelings plans during the hiring process?? Do you trust the Lewis family to conduct a proper vetting process?
I think in DeZerbi we finally have a manager that can work some magic for us. He really ticks many boxes. If he is happy, the owners are happy, behind the scenes there is some stability after a lot of new people behind hired, let's just see where it takes us without risking more upheaval.
It would be typically Spursy for this club to do something to potentially upset DeZerbi by bringing in new people above him who were not part of the original process to hire him.
The more likely problem would be if De Zerbi doesn't like new management.
De Zerbi is literally the best manager Spurs could possibly have hoped to hire in the circumstances we find ourselves in. No new management would be crazy enough to second guess this appointment.
As unpopular as it is to say: it's somewhat to the credit of the fuckwits in charge that they actually did what it took to convince him to come to us. It might just keep us up; and it might just save them their jobs.
It was tongue in cheek.
That being said, do you really think anyone would take the job thinking they would push out DeZerbi? Seems pretty unlikely, but yes, that'd be incredibly stupid if it happens.
Yeah, but do you think De Zerbi likes the current fuckwits? I bet he'd welcome someone more competent that came in ready to work with him.
I think that's literally the only excuse there is for keeping Lange - RDZ likes him and wants to work with him moving forward.
What's made RDZ walk or fall out with previous clubs is when there's a lack of alignment with the higher-ups and he loses faith in the project. If we want to keep him longer term we need to make sure he's got a good relationship and likes working with whoever we've got as a sporting director. If we're looking to bring in Kehl, for instance, RDZ should be involved in those discussions and meeting with him.
Ideally you do things the other way around and the sporting director chooses the manager, but since RDZ is already here it's imperative the two work well together and are somewhat well aligned in terms of their vision for the club.
Get him to choose the replacements for Lambeth and Vinai
Can’t do any worse!!!
