Fair on you mate for getting a source but it sounds like conjecture:

"It is also worth noting that sacking him could cost the club £12million and it is very unlike Spurs to part ways with such funds unless it is absolutely necessary."

ie, guesswork based on his salary.

Knowing Levy, and given the fact he'll have known the average length of a manager at Spurs is about 18 months, I'd be shocked if he didn't stipulate any payout would be far lower than the rest of his contract.

Could be a clause in there too about league position.

I.e. substantially lower severance cost if we're in the bottom half when it happens.

What could be more constructive about calling a spade a spade, a pure troll who loves to be contrary despite the evidence, it's either trolling for the sake of it or you don't support this team.

Is Mason a specialist at pragmatism, relegation dogfights, getting the best out of players? what?

Hire someone who is then.

You always do this; demand that fans explicitly state who the new manager should be or which player needs to be purchased. You do it to strawman discussions about Levy or discussions about Ange.

We are losing *every* fucking game of football at the moment. Mason cannot empirically do worse. But, if he is that shit, then our cutting edge football operation should have a fucking plan in place to install someone who can string together a few wins.

That’s not an especially high bar to expect we clear.

Might as well get me in in that case, if we're changing for the sake of changing

Levy might as well hire himself for the job

Changing the manager just because 'the alternative' cannot be this bad isn't an argument, it's desperation and stupidity.

It's not just for the sake of changing tho. We are in a really bad place and something has to be done about it. His position isn't tenable anymore.

I really don't remember us being this bad defensively even with Mason in charge. That's one improvement I can see happening from now until the end of the season at least.

Will we jump up the table? Probably not, but we can't stick with this either.

Dude we're not going to agree on this, it's cool

I just think the idea to sack this dude (which he more than deserves by the way) to replace him with a less experienced dude in a see what happens and roll the dice scenario is just pure desperation.

I would honestly rather Sean Dyche or Big Same came in for a few months than Ryan Fucking Mason, Christ sake and the thought of those managers in charge fill me with dread!

It's not even hero worship, Ange is fucking shite, I was wrong about him, happy to admit that but Mason can fuck off and anyone who think that's a good idea can get in the bin :lol:
