Stop shitting on Emerson he wasn't on the pitch when we conceded three to Brighton that was the vaunted first choice centerbacks you keep bigging up. This isn't about investment it was management did for us at the Amex you need to wake up.
My post was not shitting on Emerson... my point is that in every window we don't do enough to build a squad that can compete at the highest level.
 
It should be realistic he was once available for us before.

Only reason why he would of turned us down is if ownership basically didn't match his ambition.

Iraola then, by the way there is other coaches out there who are all capable.

Hence why he's not realistic.😆

Iraola isn't an out and out upgrade to Ange, again let's get real, he's not coming here to work miracles nor is he any more likely to win trophies or sustain s top 4 challenge

Which has nothing to do right now with why the squad we have is under performing and believe me it is. Watch it will all become clear when we get tuned up by Bournemouth and Chelsea. I love kicking Levy he has earned it but he's not responsible for shitty sub choices and zero game management.
 
The players you name are the BEST we have lol. They're the ones worth keeping. He's talked in fulsome terms about all these players and has no intention of replacing them. Don't forget Sarr. This is Anges team hiding behind transfer windows is classic misguided fan talk. The evidence is right in front of you in coaching or lack of. The game management the subs. The team is actually BETTER than the results .
Is that true? Every player I mentioned has been called “fucking shite” “not good enough, get rid” “not Spurs, fuck him off” “past it, sell him” at some point this year.

I know you are a vocal supporter of getting rid of Romero but now he’s one of our best?

To be honest, I don’t think we’re far off agreeing with each other. In my original post, I said we should get our guy if there’s a specific manager out there that checks all the boxes, but I don’t believe that we can find that in the middle of the campaign. Are you of the opinion that we should drop Ange now and bring in anyone? Because I sure as fuck don’t want to be watching a Mason- led bunch the rest of the season.
 
I'd probably understand a tiny bit more if you said Iraola as he's kinda proved that he can beat big teams and coach a consistent play style but Marco Silva is such a weird choice.

I think though there's so many interchangeables to managing this football club, its just not about tactics or subs or playstyle, it's also about managing upwards and the expectations and the pressure that comes with it not to mention the fans are at the end of their tether and don't have the patience for yet another rebuild.

The reality is that we will be back to square one, unless there's a Xabi Alonso or Nagelsmann or Inzagi ready to join I don't see anything changing soon.

Out fans just need to accept that we're not Tottenham 2017 version and start living in the reality.
what is the reality to you? we shouldn't expect wins against Leicester, Fulham, Ipswich and Crystal Palace? 10th, 16th, 17th and 19th placed teams?

We were second best in 3 of those 4 games (performance wise) so in your opinion what is the reality? should we expect to lose those games? should we expect draws?

Thats exactly what we heard about the players under Ramos and AVB/Sherwood and that includes what are now seen as some pretty sacred cows like Bale, Ekotto, Dawson, Rose Walker, Vertonghen, Dembele. 2 good managers came in and improved players and we were flying under both after 16/18 months. Within the same timeframe we now just look a bit of a mess. This squad and team are nowhere near good enough to challenge for the title but they're better than the 70% 80% of dross that has been served up since March.

He should be realistic he has no ties to English football, is a project manager and we should be able to him sell him the story of creating a legacy that hasn't been done with us yet.

We currently ain't challenging for top 4.

But he's not so this is a pointless convo, we already spoke to him and he didn't happen so...

I don’t disagree. I am not on board keeping Ange another year necessarily. I am of the belief that there isn’t anyone out there better than Ange that will come here mid season, though.

Do you have anyone in mind that is realistic?

Thats fair enough and as much as i'd like a change i dont want it for the sake of it like bloody Ryan Mason for 3 months or Graham Potter because he's knocking around and cheap. I'd love to think we had owners that would do what Utd did with Amorim and just go balls out to get the best man regardless but...yeah.
