Works in the Political division at Ipsos MORI. Probably about as close to ITK as I am at the moment, sitting in my summer house scratching my balls. He's a decent guy though.

EDIT: Should probably caveat that as a Research geek myself, I infact did get the inside scoop on Redknapp's sacking back in the day so he might know someone at the club. I got the info from my brother in law who was having a meeting with Levy that day.

He could just be a Spurs fan that has tweeted something that is just what he's been seeing in the news.
Doesn't claim to be ITK or have it on any authority.

It doesn't make sense replacing him with Thomas Frank after we've just won the Europa. Parker? Silva? none of these managers have won anything. It sends a really bad message if we replace the manager that has won the club major silverware with managers who haven't won anything.

Xavi, Glasner, Emery and yes ok that's fine. We can still send the message that winning silverware is actually important but there's something really odd about replacing him with a manager that hasn't won anything right after we've won something. This is feeling like they're doing it to not follow through with Ange's demands of buying experience and they can stick to punts.

I don't buy that mate you can spin a narrative any way you choose any decent PR firm will tell you this. IF we fire him we will start briefing about the league performance being unacceptable we have lots of precedents where we sack managers on the form of the last year including cup winning managers.

But I have been told we could go nasty and start talking about the level of injuries and re'injures and hang it squarely on Munn and Ange. There are a few very damming issues some that developed around the South American players. Yeah the hugs look good on the bus, but there's a few unhappy about back stage stuff that Ange got wrong. Did you not notice the utter seachange in approach to Romero VDV recovery. Mistakes were made and blame was apportion.

Winning in Aus does not make you an elite, or even half decent coach.
Winning with Celtic, in Scotland also does not make you an elite or even half decent coach.
Getting beaten 34 times from 76 league games with Spurs, but beating a bunch of farmers in the ropey league does not make you an elite, or even half decent coach.

The man is shit at his job and it's fucking ludicrous people are actually suggesting we're better off keeping him than making a change that will at least put us back in the top half of the table.

Go and get a fucking grip people.

We're their bogeyteam.
All great teams have a bogeyteam.
We've been Man Cities over the last few years.
I remember Allardici's Bolton being Arsene Whiners bogeyteam.

The fact this blatantly obvious Aussie fanboi called Alice a journalist is all you need to foul vote him for not being a Spurs fan then ignoring him.

No need to be rude pal. I’ve never seen her before and she said she was a journo. Still she made some good points especially about Levy being the problem because he IS! As for Ange I’m mixed about him. Coming 17th is inexcusable, but winning a trophy is great. I’ll be fine if Ange goes but I’m not excited by those being touted to replace him. Why aren’t we looking at world class managers who’ve actually won something?
As for me not being a spurs fan you can FO I’ve been a fan from probably before you were born.
 
Some more stats from our EL final against the shittest Man U side you'll ever see:

35% possession
3 total attempts (1 on target, arguably)
0 'clear' chances
1 run into penalty area
66% pass accuracy

We won, and that's what matters - but it was absolutely despite the way we played, not because of it.
