I just have a bad feeling the ship is too rudderless to make a decision. He should go, we have a better chance of winning the next few games without him. It’s just far too quiet.

I just have a bad feeling the ship is too rudderless to make a decision. He should go, we have a better chance of winning the next few games without him. It’s just far too quiet.
The players hadnt a clue what they were at. Archie was right side of 3 then a winger when attacking. What tge fuck.
I think he won’t be sacked simply because the club has not prepared for his successor. Haven’t we spent like half a year before deciding to hire Postecoglou? I don’t think much has changed, especially with the lack of "obvious" candidate and possibly those names on the shortlist wouldn’t want to join this fucking mess.
I think this is the issue.
I wouldn't be surprised if the club has already put feelers out and got an underwhelming response.
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.
And who can blame 'em, if so. Our club is the graveyard of careers.
Trust me that Everton game was a massive watershed moment. It's not the margin of loss, none of our fans give a solid gold fuck about how narrow all our losses have been despite that being trotted out like its some sort of defence, we're just really fed up with losing fucking games now and it's not hard to see that a new manager could get more out of this squad even with all the injuries than this fucking clown.
I genuinely don't know how I've woken up and this fraud is still in charge?? What have we done to deserve this misery porn til the end of the season ffs
Another red flag. How can we have appointed a manger who basically admits that, my way of playing and training produces injuries?
If we just think about that for a minute, it is absolutely insane that we would find that acceptable. I mean, I’m sure he didn’t admit it during the interview, if he did interview or course. He’s well in with the Base agency and the guy who runs it and from where we seem to buy the majority of our players from. He probably didn’t even need to interview for the job it was all just handed to him. We were desperate again for someone at that point.
Exactly.
What benefit does any manager have coming to manage Tottenham besides a wage increase and a shiny NFL stadium?
They only need to look at the recent history of hiring and firing, that's enough to put anyone off. Add to that the lack of backing, the abuse from a section of the fan base and having players constantly down tools when they don't like something.
We're a shit show, and Harry Kane was the only reason we stayed as competitive as we did.
I’ll be interested to see what the stadium is like for the Leicester game if he’s still here.
We win that game, I’m willing to bet we still hear that Ange song. Which is admittedly mind-blowing and an interesting study into human psychology. Even Poch got less patience than this.
I think Mason should fuck off and get some real managerial experience on his own. The fact that he sits his arse at the club as an Assistant Manager or coach or whatever the fuck, sounds like he’s got no ambition to become his own man.
What's going on at United actually makes our situation seen slightly less bad. Only slightly.
Us and them have completely stank the place out and it's just too easy and simplistic to blame the respective owners, outside of the managerial appointments.
Both clubs will most probably avoid relegation by default, but either managers or players (or both) are showing they are not up to the challenge if playing for such big clubs.
I also think the gap between the very very best players has greatly reduced, as in there are very few top players, which equates to needing the very best coaches and riding waves of confidence read Forest)
Genuinely at a loss at what we should do.
transfermarkt says 960m euros spent since opening THS in 2019 and we're 15th. United just ahead of us is bonkers.
We're cursed I reckon. Rangers and Celtic could join English football and us go the other way and we'd find a way not to win the SPL.
It's not really though. Conte top of Serie A. Poch various good jobs after Spurs. Nuno flying with Forest. It's just Levy's Spurs where everything turns to shit.
If memory serves me correctly they all got fired by Levy after not winning anything.
Poch was truly incredible with us, but I thought it was universally recognised by all Spurs fans that he ultimately failed (and when he went he needed to go!) because Levy did not invest any money in the 1st team for 2-3 years, and the squad aged, went very stale, and lost all momentum.
Redknapp could have had a shot at the league in January but Levy bought him Saha and Nelson when we needed reinforcements, and then he shot himself in the foot by chasing the England job and getting accused of taking bungs.
I won't comment on Jol as we were a much smaller club them in terms of revenue and were unable to compete with the 'Sky 4' at the time, and could not have been expected to win anything.
I swear this has been replied to you before mate.
What he said was the intensity required to play this way causes small injuries in the first season then usually the players bodies adapt and the injuries are less the second season. Pretty sure that checks out with injury records at other clubs.
I don’t think it’s Unique to him btw. Iraola plays chaos ball and has 9 injuries even though they have played 9 fewer games already in January.
Intensity wins but it comes with a cost.
The fact that we’re talking to Allegri would indicate as much.
