Honestly, I think Mason as a very temporary measure would be ok! Basically we just need to survive relegation. That is the ONLY ambition we should now have for the remainder of this bastard season.

I don't give a fuck that we're still in 3 cups - we won't be for much longer.
That was the most pathetic reason to keep him that I'd heard.

People parroting it before one of them had even started for us!

And as you say, it won't remain that way for long.
 
I think this is the issue.

I wouldn't be surprised if the club has already put feelers out and got an underwhelming response.

A look at us and then a sideways glance to United and seeing how their mid-season manager swap is working out won’t help!

I should imagine ‘I don’t need that shit on my CV mid season!’ has probably gone through a few minds!
 
I’ve no clue as I don’t really follow managers but Santini? Jol ? Ramos ? Sherwood ? Maybe it’s just that we’ve hired a fair few duds

Managers will always turn up somewhere but for me it’s more that many go on and prove that they are not pathetic , like players going on to win stuff
Sherwood still managed to get the Villa gig after us and Jol went on to manage Ajax. Ok the Eredivisie isn't glamorous but Ajax are a big club.

Only managers with absolutely no self belief at all would be scared that the Spurs job is career suicide.
 
Yes exactly JPB

Tottenham Hotspur are adrift.

In truth they have been blindly drifting for weeks, if not months. Their appalling league form has been dismissed by too many people as a sideshow, an irrelevance, an inevitability given their injury crisis.

Everyone was happy to suspend judgement. Wait until the players get back from injury. Wait until the cup games. Wait until the resumption of European football.

But the problem with investing everything in the future, or rather a fantasy of the future, is that you take your eyes off what is happening in front of you. And if you do that, you drift from league defeat to league defeat, from the European spots to mid-table to potential disaster, never confronting the reality of the situation.

That has been the story of Tottenham’s league campaign, their worst for a generation. They are — and this really has to be repeated until it sinks in — 15th in the Premier League table. They are only four points ahead of Sunday’s opponents Everton, who have a game in hand. They have lost more than half of their league games.

We could do this all day, listing all the different ways in which this season is a disaster, a catastrophe, without modern precedent. But all that can wait until May. Right now Tottenham just need to save their season.
 
Unfortunately the more I think about it I think he's got until the end of the Liverpool Cup game. Once we're knocked out of that he'll be gone.


If anyone thinks we are getting anything out of that game they are deluded, ,and I include Levy and the board in that.

Liverpool will rip us a new one. We never get anything at anfield even when we had a great team. Now we are rancid, they are the league leaders, and we struggled to beat Tamworth and Everton battered us.

We are getting stuffed up there. So if they are willing to jeopardise further dismal league results, on the slight chance we win or draw at Anfield and get through to a final, they are idiots. We would actually have more chance up there if we sacked Ange.
 
I reckon Levy has noticed that United getting a new manager and sacking Ten Hag hasn't helped them. Bearing in mind he already sacked Nuno who is now flying high with Forest. I think he doesn't know what to do.

Maybe. It's just impossible to decode in truth.

United's situation is astounding to me. Quite incredible. Nuno at Forest will hit a bad patch but for now, what a job he is doing.

With us, if he keeps Postecoglou, he has to back him big time.
