Bonkers. Never happeningSaid before I am just about onside with Southgate if the contract was structured right. Namely directly incentivizing him to win the Europa League, so a 6 month contract that automatically renews for a further 2 years if we win the Europa League and are not relegated. Otherwise the club have an option, but not an obligation, to renew and can walk away for free if we so choose.
I think we'd be shite with Southgate, but if he won the EL that's all that would matter. Winning the EL is paramount at this point. Unlikely, but it's the most important thing we can do (and always was, but has only grown moreso).
One of the reasons for us not going for Ten Hag was apparently that he did not impress in the interviews. Which Ange probably did because as you said, he's a salesman.Its incredible given that apparently one of the reasons they rightly didnt want Ten Hag in June 2021 was that he didnt want to bring any coaches with him and they thought that was weird. Then this bloke turns up with a few randoms he's picked up at motorway service srations on the way down and we're all over it. I guess that proves first and foremost he's a salesman, not a coach.
Did was I was just about there.
My preferences have been stated repeatedly.
- Iraola
- Silva
- Frank
- Mason until the end of the season
Potter- Southgate on a 6 month contract that renews if we win the EL and fucks him off if we don't.
Levy is not the best. But levy certainly didn’t build a squad that’s lower mid table.
Agreed with first paragraph. Being diplomatic I cant agree with the 2nd paragraph. Just an opinion though mate.One of the reasons for us not going for Ten Hag was apparently that he did not impress in the interviews. Which Ange probably did because as you said, he's a salesman.
At this point I'd honestly consider giving Ten Hag a go because surely he cannot do worse?
I thought Southgate had retired from football.
Although that may just be wishful thinking.
I'd love to have him home again but not under Levy. I couldn't deal with us getting that close to a title-winning team and not bother buying any fucking players for him again.Would love it if poch came back. We will have our Tottenham back......at last!
Just finished watching the game.
Fucking hell. What the fuck was that all about.
This is my concern! Guys a conman!If Levy were to replace Ange with "Former England & Euro finalist manager Gareth Southgate", would he be able to increase ticket prices just a teeny bit more?![]()
"Hello do you want to be absolutely stinking rich, living in London with the guarantee of a multimillion pound payoff if it doesn't work?"Has any of you opining for Iraola tried role-playing the Levy-Iraola phone call?
Seriously, try selling Spurs to Iraola.
Mate these people are fucking weird. There's on on social media Scandinavian Hal calls himself I've been trying to reprogram the fool for months will not shift.Just had a look on Twitter. The Ange Cult is out in full force. Amazing.
I'm fairly convinced that the 'wanker' chants were directed at Ange and not Sonny but that doesn't encourage clicks.
The rate I'm going it won't be long for me either

For a slash, or?
I'd probably have 100 managers on my list ahead of him, but none that I think are available.I am pretty similar tbf but would have a 0 after Southgates number.
Not even any comedy value with him. Just a drybread with the personality and tactical nous of a pube.
