We will have far

We will have fa

Without fatty we will have far fewer injuries

Romero (or replacement), VdV, Drag, Davies, Vuskovic and one new signing. Would be fine

it was so weird that interview. The ONE time he smiled and looked the interviewer in the eye.

Davies' contract expires and he won't be back. That's why I said 3 new CBs in the next 13 months. We might be able to limp thru the end of this season playing 3 at the back with just the 1 signing in January.

If we're going to keep Romero and Dragusin, and rely on Phillips and Vuskovic, then maybe just 1.

He's gone mate. He basically publicly said fuck you to the board. I think his contract is ticking as well, a stroppy, angry South American being forced to stay at the club isn't good for anybody. May not be Madrid anymore but I'm sure someone reasonably sized would take him - his rep on the continent is likely very good.

Anywhere he goes will be a cut in pay. I think his attitude will change once that sinks in.

I hope for Iraolas sake he swerves the Levy conveyor belt

Such a weird statement - or at least extremely difficult sentiment for me to understand.

I couldn't care less about anyone in football outside of Tottenham*. If Iraola came to Spurs, I hope he's Poch 2.0+ with silverware. If he doesn't, fuck him - wouldn't be skin off my nose if he ended up managing in the women's 3rd division in Peru. I didn't/don't support Bale at Madrid, Poch at PSG, or Harry at Bayern - utterly meaningless to me.


*Not entirely true, I support Dag & Red - though there's never really any crossover. I do also sentimentally support Fiorentina (but dont really follow them), so on the off chance Iraola ended up there I'd wish him well.

Because the evidence of every manager before and since Poch Is that he won’t be Poch mkII. And Poch didn’t win anything anyway then got fired so why would we want a Poch Mk II?

I've come to the conclusion that you might the most pristine manifestation of ENIC Out.

You seem to be so against them, you'd rather stick with an obviously incompetent manager to see us fail and punish ENIC. You hate the board, the club and the fans.

The only individuals you like are a random assortment of international managers.

I don’t hate the fans or the club,

I don’t even want to see us fall to punish ENIC. If we somehow broke the cycle, I’d happily give Levy his flowers.

I’ve just seen this pattern repeat too many times to believe the cycle wont repeat so why go through the same dance over and over with different managers? So we can occasionally finish 4th and continue being the butt of every joke about actually winning things.

Romero joining his compatriot Simeone at Atletico Madrid is one option. Wages would not be the issue- they're still have players like Cesar Azpilicueta on their books who earns close to what we pay Romero and generally they aren't scared of paying big wages and fees . The only thing is Gimenez is locked in on that RCB for years now and one of the leaders. But you'd think Simeone could do wonders with Cuti.

Since the Chelsea 9 man collapse he’s 17-6-21 in the PL with a 38% win rate. With the 8 wins and 2 draws his full win percentage is about 50%.

Shocking and embarrassing stats. The lack of draws just sums up the chaos.

Have been more than patient with the guy (mainly due to being sick of the manager merry-go-round} but enough is enough. Indefensible run of results/form with no tangible signs of improvement.

I just hope the bald parasite has a replacement lined up before pulling the trigger as it'll be you know who otherwise.

What a fucking complete shambles.

I don’t understand why you carry on taking such an interest then?

Essentially you’re saying a) nothing will change absent ENIC out b) there’s no prospect of ENIC out

So why take an interest ? You could become a lay supporter of sorts, in the shadows but ready to jump back into view should ENIC ever leave
