Tell you what can I have my travel and admission money refunded along with the other 40k plus who were not told we'd written off the entire campaign to be ready for the might of Bodo fucking Gimp. The lowering of standards is shocking.

We have to fire the coach just to remove the credulous from all conversations. It's staggering the shit he has sane people spouting.

I'll take that as a compliment!!🤪

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely see how BAD the League season was... BUT had we taken the league more seriously, just to finish in a 'more respectable' top 6 finish, at THE EXPENSE of the Europa League (yes, why can't we have both, but just imagine we can't...) then no one is trying to pretend that would've constituted a better season, surely?

Why not just drop him off in Korea and say bye bye? He'll get a job out there, easy.

I think the cold blooded but right decision would be to make the change now..

But, if it's going to be this manager next season.. then I'll say screw it and I will delude myself about next season as much as anybody. And we can get back to enjoying the trophy fully again without these question marks clouding everything...

It's just the lack of confirmation either way that gets aggravating. Not because I need to know everything, but because I don't trust for one second that they are acting and thinking as urgently as they need to.. I really feel like we could go into mid June, with no final decision either way, while others plan for their seasons.

But why would there need to be an announcement that Ange is staying? He's still contracted to the club and it's only normal no news means no changes. They could have already be making plans of new players incoming WITH the intention Ange is going to start the season. That's the default in anyways.

Absolutely. We badly need players who can pass the ball in MF

It’s why when I say the front line needs upgrading but people responded with well we score a lot it entirely misses the point.

We need a winger who can hold the ball under pressure and link well, think Eden Hazard as the best version of this. Odobert is the closest to this but he is till a bit green and that is before we come to lack of Maddison cover and a top draw DM.

By announcement, I meant a brief to the press rather than a club statement. Because it's not just business as normal, with no news necessary, when he was out the door before that 90 minutes of football.

And yes... They COULD have been making proactive plans with this manager, meaning time isn't being wasted.. And I hope you're right. But when in the last 25 years, has trusting in Tottenham, to be proactive, rather than reactive, in regards to planning for the season ahead, ever been the safe position to take?

It might be true.. But if it is, it's pure chance.. If it was 2019, maybe it's worth taking notice. But DiMarzio is to be ignored nowadays

It’s a throwaway line at the bottom of this article about Marco Silva and us meeting him.So maybe you’re right.

Hilarious that this is dropped in at the end of a report that was actually about marco silva.

“Marco Silva in recent days had also received an offer from Al-Hilal, but the Portuguese coach declined since he prefers to stay in Europe for family reasons. Tottenham also moved for the 1977 class, with which there were some meetings. In the last few hours, however, the possibilities of Postecoglu's stay on the Spurs bench have grown” translated from the report.

Yeah. I don't doubt that Paratici and DiMarzio still have contacts with each other.. But if Paratici was feeding concrete information to DiMarzio that he's staying.. I instinctively feel like DiMarzio would be pushing that line harder.. Wanted to be visibly ahead of the rest of the press who are still saying it's very much up in the air.

Football journalism is, in general, up in the air and on its arse all at the same time, 90% of the shite we lap up as fans is pure fantasy. Thing is they all have the same excuse, *things can change at any moment*.
